  Differences that Separate Us

  It’s always better to convey your feelings to your loved ones as fast as you can, even if it makes your eyes go teary sometimes. Because once they are gone, no matter how loud you scream or cry, they won’t be able to hear you anymore.

  Blake

  Why do I always screw up? What was fucking wrong with me?

  I didn’t want to yell at Kaley; the hell with it, I didn’t even mean what I said to her!

  I was a coward. Part of me was afraid that she wanted to leave me, and I just didn’t want to accept it. I cared for her. I genuinely cared for her. I couldn’t even dream about feeling that way when I first met her. I didn’t even know when I started to feel that way toward her; it felt like I had feelings for her my entire life. And then, before I even realized it, I wanted to spend my entire life with her and her alone.

  I sighed, leaning on the doorframe of our room. She was on the other side, probably happy that I have given her freedom.

  Why was I even hoping for a future with her when I had hurt her so much that even I wouldn’t want to be in my own company? If she wanted to leave me, so be it. At least she was going to be happy if she were away from me, even if that broke me down. I was enchanted by her, and I wasn’t a fool to not realize my feelings toward her. And exactly because of them, I wanted her to be happy even if her happiness meant me not taking part of it.

  She was the first girl who hadn’t tried to get close to me and seduce me for my money; she didn’t even know who I was. She was so innocent that I hated and cursed myself every day for acting the way I did when the two of us met.

  Kaley was someone different from me. I know there was the possibility that I fell for her just because she treated me differently. I doubted that my feelings weren’t genuine, that I simply liked the idea of loving her. It’s not like I blindly accepted the idea of falling in love.

  It was, after all, a feeling I was unfamiliar with. Which is why I doubted, I questioned, I sought answers that I got with every day I spent by her side.

  All doubts dissipated with her smile. All questions were answered with our conversations, and I finally realized the truth. That I loved her.

  But the feeling was not mutual.

  How could she possibly forget all the things I did to her?

  Regina was trying to get back to me so many times, but I couldn’t even look at another girl after meeting Kaley. My heart would feel at peace when she smiled but broke down whenever she cried. And it didn’t help that I knew I was the reason behind her tears. For a second, I thought that I should go to Regina and drown my pain in her, but I couldn’t possibly be such an asshole now that I had Kaley.

  She might have hated me. No, she said she didn’t. Maybe she was scared of me and uncomfortable in my presence, but I had become too drawn to her that I simply couldn’t let her go. Yet I knew that I had to.

  I am acting like an idiot, I mumbled to myself.

  She wasn’t the one to blame. I was the dick here. She was right when she said that I snapped first. It hurt me. Although I knew and was prepared for it, it hurt when she didn’t reply to my question. I knew that she wouldn’t accept me. I was acting like a brat. I should have gone and apologized; she was right; it was my fault for acting like that.

  Kaley was pregnant, and if she switched her moods, it was due to her pregnancy unlike me who was but a plain, repulsive idiot. Moreover, she shouldn’t have stressed herself. I sighed again. I was afraid to meet her, but it was the only way. This was the type of thoughts that lingered in my mind. As I opened the doors of our room, my breath left me as I saw her falling down. Without any second thought, I rushed, shielding her as she fell on me.

  Now that I thought of it, she had a habit of falling on top of me.

  “Kaley!” I gently shook her once I sat down. “Kay, open your eyes!” I did everything I knew as I tried to make her open her eyes, only then noticing that she’s been crying.

  I screwed up. Badly.

  “Kaley, c’mon. You’ll be fine,” I said as I picked her up and laid her on the bed. The only thing left now was to wait for the doctor. I couldn’t do anything on my own. That’s right. I should call Max! Taking my phone, I quickly dialed his number. It took him a while to answer as I gradually started to lose my patience.

  “Damn it, man. Do you know what ti—” his groggy voice started, but I interrupted him. I couldn’t lose time. I couldn’t lose those to either.

  “Haul your ass right now. Kaley fainted!”

  “I’m on my way, will be there in fifteen. What happened?” he asked, rather composed as I heard some door closing on the other line.

  “We…” I hesitated but knew that hiding the truth was only going to bring more harm. “We had a fight, and I stormed out, but when I came back, she fainted.”

  “Shit. Did she hit her head or her belly on something?” The sound of an engine turning on followed soon after.

  “No, I caught her in time before she hit the floor.”

  “Good, that makes everything easier. I have to end call but don’t worry. She should be fine according to what you have just said. See you soon.”

  “Yeah.” And with that, he ended the call as I threw my phone on the bed, grasping my hair. I cursed. None of this would have happened if I kept my cool and didn’t act like an ass. Why did it seem like all I was capable of doing was hurtin
g her? Why couldn’t I make her so happy that she’d be able to forget all of the pain she had been through her life?

  “I’m sorry,” I mumbled as I allowed myself that one luxury to kiss her forehead. It was probably the last time I would get to kiss her. She was like light to me. I knew that it was too fast, but I couldn’t help falling for her. She came into my life by accident, and she became the center of it by a miracle.

  Knowing how kind and innocent she was, always managing to lure my smile out, I just fell for her. Love is a feeling, not a decision after all. But if I had to choose, then I would so damn have chosen to love her, and no one else would matter to me anymore.

  Max said that she was probably alright, but I couldn’t help and worry. She could’ve had a miscarriage because of stress, though there wasn’t blood in between her thighs at all—that was one thing that told me not to worry.

  I took my time watching her; it was probably going to be my last. Whatever path she might choose, I was sure that it wouldn’t lead back to me. I gave her freedom. No way in hell would she waste it on nothing.

  I didn’t know how long I sat there looking at her face and brushing her hair with my fingers until Max came, gasping for air.

  “Fifteen minutes precisely,” he said as he waved some bag in his hands I believe contained medical tools.

  “Please…” I didn’t know what I was asking for. Maybe I begged him to save them, to wake her up, or even to make her stay. One thing I knew for sure: I just wanted to see her smiling again.

  “I know. Let me wake her up.” He pulled a bottle from his bag, opened it, and placed it closer to her nose, which soon scrunched as she gradually opened her eyes.

  “Kaley, how do you feel? Does anything hurt? Are you all right?” Max asked before I got the chance. I bit my lip, waiting, praying that she was fine.

  “Yeah,” she replied. Her voice was so low that I almost didn’t hear it.

  “Let’s check on you,” Max continued with a nod. So far, it seemed that there really wasn’t anything wrong with her. “First, do you feel any pain in your belly?” She had shaken her head before her face looked like she figured something out, which made her stand up and check on her belly. I assumed that she was afraid, that she thought she might have lost the baby.

  “Don’t worry. It seems like nothing happened, but I have to check something else, so lay down and relax.” She could only nod at his words as I couldn’t stand to watch how much she trusted him and not me because of my mistakes. I needed to get out of the room, to clear my head.

  “Do you need some water?” I asked. It seemed fair enough of an excuse.

  “Yes please,” she replied, her voice no louder than a whisper as I left for the kitchen.

  I expected it to feel longer, heavier, but my walk to the kitchen and back was rather short, almost as if it had passed in the blink of an eye. Kaley was the only thing on my mind. I might never share the same house with her again. The last thing I wanted was to ruin her and bind her to someone such as myself. I could see what it would’ve done to me.

  She would’ve believed that I hated her. That would’ve been the last straw for me. Her psyche would be destroyed for living the rest of her life with a man she’d come to hate. I’m not sure I would’ve accepted her with someone else.

  Tell her.

  The thought left as soon as it came to me. I was a coward, so I threw it aside. I couldn’t confess to her.

  Before I even realized it, I was in front of the doors that separated me from Kaley. I didn’t want to spend my last moments of peace with her anymore, so I entered without knocking.

  “Here’s the water,” I said, and it stung me so hard when her smile fell. Did I really bring nothing but pain and sadness to her?

  Tell her.

  “Thanks,” she spoke, taking it before drinking. I couldn’t watch her so broken, so I turned to Max.

  “Anytime,” was all I could say as I directed my next question to my best friend. “Is she fine, Max?”

  “Yeah, but please avoid situations for her like this. First trimester is the most critical considering it’s the period all the organs are forming within the fetus, so she has the most chances of miscarriage. Why don’t you pick some nice and remote village for your honeymoon? She’ll relax, and healthy air will help her a lot. Plus, it’s romantic.” I hit his head as she blushed. I knew that it was an uncomfortable topic for her. We might not even get married. He chose the worst time possible to speak of that matter.

  “I’ll leave now,” he said with a slight shake of his head. He was giving us some space. “I’m going downstairs. I believe the two of you have something to clear up.” With that, he packed his stuff and headed for the doors.

  I didn’t know if was more thankful or angry at him at the moment.

  Tell her. Forget it.

  “Give yourselves a chance. Everyone fights, but peace formed after fights is what makes your bonds grow stronger. Give it a go, and you’ll see it for yourself,” he said before closing the doors. I decided to make the first move.

  It was all my fault to begin with.

  “I apologize for the way I acted. I was a fool, and I don’t even know why I did it, but believe me, I didn’t mean a single thing I said.” I waited, fully aware that there was a chance that she would reject my apology, yet I still wanted to try. I didn’t want to give up on the one I loved.

  “I’m the one who should apologize. You were right. I was stupid.” Her voice cracked, and I cursed. I was so, so fucking stupid.

  “I didn’t mean—” I began, willing to correct my mistakes, hoping that I still had a chance, but she interrupted me

  “I just stormed in your life, bringing you the responsibility of being a father. I’m sorry.” I shook my head; it was not a burden; it was a joy. “I know that we’re like heaven and earth. I’m a stupid girl that never finished her education, that managed to get pregnant because of her forgetting to take pills, that killed her parents because of her hard head and made her brother suffer without them.” She began to cry. I was on the verge of doing so. How could she not realize how awesome she was? How I lucky I was to have her in my life.

  “That’s n—” I began again. She ignored me.

  Tell her.

  “And I came into your life being a burden, so I understand why you don’t want me as your wife!” But I wanted her so bad.

  Then tell her!

  “And that’s why…if you…if you want for me…to do it, then I…I’ll…I’ll leave you to enjoy alone, without me burdening…”

  I couldn’t take it. Such cruel words weren’t something meant to leave her lips. She was the woman I loved; she deserved to know how loved she was, how much she meant to someone, even if that someone was an ass like me.

  So I hugged her.

  The only action I could see fit at the moment to make her stop talking for a while—to convey my feelings to her. She remained silent as she cried; I took a deep breath, preparing myself for what awaited. I decided to listen to myself and give it a go.

  To give my feelings a go.

  I started by kissing her forehead. I poured my every being in that simple kiss, conveying everything I held in my heart.

  Although it was too late for that now…

  “But I don’t want you to leave.” If nothing else…“I love you, Kaley Evansville…even if you don’t feel the same way.”

  I believed I still had a chance to change her mind.
