You Of All People Chapter 23

"This will leave a permanent scar on my heart . I've never felt this pain before . I could try to forgive you but that's not me . I can't be this way . I need time to reflect on myself and you need time to reflect on yourself"

"You were my first love . And at this moment I still love you . This relationship will not work anymore . You're not ready like how I'm ready . I'm looking for a man to take care of me and you're not there yet . Maybe our paths will cross again if we're both ready and If I ever forgive you but you really need to take this time to make yourself better . Deal with those demons that are keeping you up at night . That's when you'll feel free and want to make someone the happiest girl in the world . But I won't be that girl . Not after what you did to me . "

"I want you to be happy and I want you to be loyal, respectful, smart and trustworthy because you can be, because you used to be that kind of person . You just need the motivation to become that man you are destined to be . I won't shout, blame nor hurt you . For I won't give you a reaction that could somehow rid you of the guilt, if you are even feeling it"

After her long speech, Violet stood up, went to her luggage and slowly marched towards the door . Not once looking his way . She opened the door but as she stepped outside she stopped then spoke .

Advertisement"Goodbye Dean, Thanks for the memories and I hope we never see each other again" Violet closed the door behind her . She leaned her back against the door and thought to herself,

'There wasn't anything you could have done differently'

Her tears finally fell, not stopping . She glanced towards the door one last time then made her way towards the elevator .

-----Meanwhile in the house-----

When she finally said her last words and closed the door, Dean stood up to chase her but when he grabbed the doorknob he can't even muster the courage to open it . There and then he stood staring at the door .

-----After a few minutes-----

Violet reached the ground floor . Without a care in the world, she rushed towards the exit .

"Goodbye . See you tomorrow" said Karen Williams to the security guard outside after clocking out of her job . Then she noticed a familiar lady passing by .

'Isn't that . What was her name again? Ah right, Miss Chocolate Box! Oh no! She forgot her passport', Karen thought to herself .

"Oh I forgot something . Silly me . I need to go back inside" said Karen embarrassingly . Then she made her way to the front desk . Hastily took the passport then quickly ran towards the exit to catch up to Violet"

"Where was she?" Karen looked around .

"There she is" Karen ran towards Violet .

"Miss Choco- I mean Violet! You forgot your passport" when she finally got to look at her clearly . The beautiful girl was crying .

'Woah even when she's crying she's still beautiful . THAT'S NOT THE POINT . Anyways, so I was right . It was that same man', were Karen thoughts .

Violet looked up, wondered who she might be and then it hit her that the person was the concierge earlier . She gingerly took her passport and said, "Thank you Miss Williams"

"Ah, No problem . Um Miss Violet if you don't mind . I just got out from work . Maybe you could talk it out with me whatever it is that happened, you know let it out . We could go drink our sorrows away" courageously asked Karen .

After a few minutes, making Karen uncomfortable, kept on scolding herself internally for being nosy, Violet replied,

"Sure Miss Williams" said Violet while trying hard to make out a smile .
