The Unraveling by Cassandra Camacho (classic novels TXT) 📕

"angel there you are I've heard from Greg that you would be here" Erick's voice comes from behind me but I just stare at Ash's face seeing the surprise in his eyes at the mention of my name his face softens but I look away from him to Erick who is still behind me

" yes I was just going to the garden would you like to come with me"

"Sure but I can't stay for long I have a meeting with my father later" Erick's voice is sweet and he looks at me it drives me insane and I just want to start where we finished off yesterday. I hear footsteps going quieter and quieter noticing Ash has just left...

" Erick where did ash come from do you by any chance know"

"no one really knows he just appeared one day all battered up he never said a word about his past and he is always alone never once went to the parties or had girls in his bed he is just so serious all the time it's kinda sad it's like he is punishing himself or something like that to be honest i've never really talk to him or anything"Erick just dismissed the conversation just like it never happened . but it can't be no it's not him, the ash i know was brave and loving. No he was never there was never found he left me alone he can't be here if he is here did he abandoned me did he leave me. No i won't think about it anymore i won't remember him i refuse to notice him. But maybe he did search for me maybe...

We walk in the garden a little without talking after he left me i just sat down and stayed by myself in front of the fountain not really bothered by the sprinkle of water that goes on me. even though it's winter it's feels as if it's fall, the ground doesn't have snow anywhere the flowers still thrive but the trees are encased in frost it's beautiful really , it's like looking at something new and old almost like a web of ice ,the ancient trees and the new snow.

" Hey about earlier i'm sorry i thought you were trying to make my man leave their post no hard feeling right" i jumped at the sound of Ash's voice.He sits right next to me, i can feel him staring at me i can feel the warmth that comes from him. he feels safe and familiar but i shoot these thoughts down i came here to fall in love with erick i came to remake my kingdom i shall not lose my path . i force my head to turn to him

" sorry what did you say " i replied knowing i heard every last word but i wanted him to say it again

" i said i was sorry about how i behave earlier i heard some of the guards say that you're from a broken kingdom is that true are you her are you Angel Laila the last queen are you" he looked at me with pleading eyes there was sorrow there something sad about it something i don't ever want to see again something that hurt me in my heart "yes i am her with my mother and father gone all i have left is my kingdom i want returned and erick can give me that he can give me back my kingdom so i am here till i learn to fall in love with him then we will get married and i'll have my kingdom back i just hope i could fall in love with him" i don't know why i told him the truth, i don't know why i am spilling out all my thoughts all i know is it feels good to be able to tell someone my true feelings i feel raw and nervous i feel safe and happy i feel new.

"I have a question" ash looks elsewhere as he speaks

" okay what is it" I look out at the fountain

" do you remember me i know it was a long time ago and i know we only had a short time together but i want to know do you remember me because i can't get you out of my head did you ever think about the boy that left was i even once on your mind did i even mean something to you" he looks at me then i'm speechless not knowing what to say not understanding what he wants.

"Yes I do remember you Ash Akril a little boy who disappeared, my only friend ,my safe haven i thought about you every day for 7 years i thought about how one day you would come for me you would find me but you never did you never came looking for me and i lost hope you were all i had and now i'm all alone again and you can't change that you can't make everything right again you can't help me now"  i started to get up but he grab my wrist 

"I can't tell you how long I've been wanting to hear those words from you, I'm truly am sorry for how i left your father had wanted me to move on he had wanted me to live with some other family they were nice people i stayed with them until l  was old enough to move away...,I wanted to search for you so bad but i thought....i thought you were...gone just like them" he lets me go and turns his head facing the red roses.

"I've missed you so much Angel I missed your demands I missed your attitudes you don't understand what it means to me to see you right here in front of me healthy and alive I ju...Can we start over again can we go back to how it used to be just me and you together" I look at him in shock i don't know how to answer should i say yes or no should i forgive him and give him another chance.I don't say anything for awhile but he still stays there waiting for my reply.

"Yes" my voice is soft i didn't think he would have heard me but i know he does he looks at me for awhile not totally convinced i just said anything.

"Yes we can start over again" i say more loudly and he nods his head finally understanding what I am saying.

"I promise you, you will never regret this would you mind coming to dinner with me we can go to my room"he is nervous i can tell but so am i 

"sure what time"

"7 I have to go now see you in a bit love" and he walks away with a bounce in his step.

 I feel like I am a little girl again nervous, anxious, and worried
