All That Towers Above

Chapter 1

"Adrian, am not so confident about this, do you think what we are doing is right?, cause am not so sure anymore" Ava said quietly when I stopped at the parking lot of the airport.

"Are you backing out" I stared at her in disbelief, she was trying to sabotage our plan in the very last minutes.
She was happy as I was yesterday when I told her about it, but now she's changing her mind?

She sighed and run her hand through her hair and stared ahead purposely avoiding looking at me, a habit she does when she's nervous or agitated.

"I don't know, am not so sure about this anymore" she whispered.

I shook my head, and sighed. It was perfectly normal, I understand, for her to feel like this, leaving her entire life behind, but in reality there is nothing much for her to leave behind.

She has no none, she's an orphan just her aunt who is not very nice to her, and she has always wanted to leave her that's why she planned on going to a college that's far away, far from her.

And I am giving her the opportunity, giving us the opportunity to start again and be happy. We will leave everything behind and not look back cause there is nothing for us here. We will leave and start all over again and I will miss absolutely nothing about my old life.

I will not miss being the billionaire son and heir. I will not miss having my life planned out for me. I will not miss taking over the company after am through with college and I will not miss having everything I ever wanted.

I am willing to leave it all, as long as Ava was right here with me.
We planned on going to the the Philippines.

I took her face in my both hands so she will look at me. Those green mesmerising eyes which forever looked captivating to me stared back at me.

"Why?" I asked as she pulled back.

"Your father will never forgive you and your mother will be so heartbroken, what if something happens to her, you're all there got. " She stared at me and continued.

"All because of me, Andrian, I don't want to be the reason for this, I will never forgive myself " .

I held her hand and this time she didn't move it away.
"I know, but we agreed that maybe after there accepted us we will come back"

"Even if it takes years?" She questioned, I nodded but she shook her head in disapproval. She absent-mindedly touched the necklace in her neck that I gave her during our anniversary. It has A on it, it was sort of a promise to her, that we will always be together, forever.

"This is  selfish and I think if we should stop this and go back even if it means you marry_"

"No, no, I won't marry Danny, no way, if my dad disowned me, so be it, we talked about it already didn't we?"
Her eyes was already teary.
Damnit Ava.

"Am just so so confused" she used both her hands to cover face.
"Am confused, what if we're making a mistake, I don't want you to wake up one day and realized that you made a wrong decision for choosing me" she looked at me as tears fall freely from her eyes.

I cleaned her eyes and she hugged me.
"I will never regret been with you Ava, only if you do" she immediately pulled back and stared at me.

"I will never, I promise"

I smiled and kissed her forehead.

" I love you Andrian"

"And I love you Ava"

            **************
I slowly opened one eye and immediately closed it because of the lights.
I breathed in and tried again slowly so my eyes will adjust to it.
I was greated with white ceiling, I tried to turn my head but immediately stopped when I felt a sudden pain.

I was hearing an annoying beeping sound before I noticed it was from the heart monitor.
Am in the hospital, the last time I could remember,and I still am.

But where is everyone?. I tried to move again but my muscles felt stiff.
How long have I been here?.

Before I could try another attempt to move myself up, the door opened and someone came closer, and then i heard the sound of things dropping to the floor.

"Oh my Goodness, you're awake"
It was my mom, I have never been so happy to see her than I am now. I tried to speak but my throat was so dry and what I said came out inaudible.

She touched my cheek tenderly as if she's afraid that I might disappear. I watched as I saw heavy uncontrollable tears feel from her eyes.
I felt a pang of pain in my chest, I caused those tears. I really didn't think all this through, I could not even imagine how she felt when she realizes am gone, and how she felt when she heard I had an accident.

"Sweetheart, I can't believe this" she continued and hugged me tightly. I groaned and she suddenly pulled away.

"Oh dear, am so sorry, let me call the doctor" she blabbered and left not without giving me a peak in the cheek.

"Hang on okay, I will be back" she said and closed the door.
