Chereads / The Scar you gave me / Chapter 74 - when you’re here

Chapter 74 - when you’re here

The next day, Brian and sel went on their honeymoon

"So when are we returning?" Aileen asked

"Your mom had already returned to the city, you and I will have a little fun before we go"

"You do know I have work"

"Yes I do we will just spend two days here, so get ready we're going out"

Julius took her out, he took her to a lot of places she hadn't been to and they danced on the street he really made her happy

"Remember the last time I told you I will take you to all the nicest place and we will have fun but it never happened so I am making up for it, sorry I lost my phone and I couldn't take care of you when you were here"

Aileen smiled, he took her to the airport

"What are we doing here?"

"I want to relive your experience here again"

"Julius!!"

"Aileen please listen to me"

They went inside and she remembered when she first arrived on this land she ran outside and she told the same address that time she remembered the drivers incident, she stopped exactly where they stop and ran to where she met the police

"This is where I met him" she said and smiled

She relived that moment all again

They got to his house

"I guess no one lives here again, you know" she started telling Julius all the funny things and they laughed most especially her,

"I had my first kiss as a teen here" she remembered and she continued telling the story

They went to his school and she recounted every moment

At that same time Rìan and Mika had revisited that school, the Alumni's Association had a meeting and they had to attend, an invite from the principal to him

"Who would have thought you will end up with Mika" a former friend of theirs said Rìan didn't say anything and so Mika didn't bother explaining

Rìan head to the hallway as he also remembered those moments with Aileen and Mika followed him and helped him

"This place brings so much memories" both said

Rìan remembered professing his feelings to her that time and sighed

Julius and Aileen went to other places and then to the hospital and then her feet took her to his house again

"My love story began in this place and it ended in our city"

"You had been smiling telling all about your time here, Aileen your time with Rìan wasn't all that bad you were once very happy don't hold on to all the bad memories with him, hold on to the good ones too with him. I will prefer you remember the happy memories with him and let it all go the bad ones" Julius said

She closed her eyes and opened them, when she opened them she saw Rìan reflection in their car's mirror

"Rìan??!!" She said and turned and saw someone entering a car, she ran towards that car shouting his name but the car passed by them

"Aileen what's wrong?"

"Julius I think I saw Rìan"

"Aileen let's not go back to this, let it all go"

He helped her to their car, she took one glance at the house

"Maybe it's my mind playing tricks on me, I desperately want to see him alive, as long as he was alive i won't feel burdened we will have gone our separate ways as if we never met"

"Then make it so, forget everything and take it as a dream where you had to go through all the roller coaster ride."

"All I needed was time, I feel lighter and free I no longer let my past hunt me my only regret is that he's not alive anymore and it's because of something I said" she said and they left there

"How are you" Mika asked after he got inside the car after revisiting his old house

"That house carried so many memories it carried my darkest moments and my happiest moments, I just wanted to visit that place just once" he said

Julius and Aileen got home

"I am sorry for taken you back"

"It ok, you always want the best for me"

"Close your eyes, imagine when you first came here you called your sister and she picked you up and took you home, you two spent awesome moments together and then I came there and we did everything we planned to do"

He told his version of her first time here and she laughed still with her eyes closed and she actually imagined it

"I know it's fictional but at least we can live in that moment"

"I am glad you're here, when you're here everything will surely get better" she thought
