Lissa’s pov :

I lay on the bed thinking. I must have slept off in the process

Someone touched me. I opened my eyes to see Aidan

“Hey” he cooed

“What are you doing here?” I asked

“We need to talk” he said

“I don’t want to” i replied

“Lissa, I don’t have much time here on earth. We really need to talk” he said

“Are you planning to die huh?”, I asked

He groaned

“You want me dead?”,he asked

I sat up

“What will I gain?” I asked

He sat down

“Lissa, can you just listen to me?” He asked

“As if I have other options”, I replied

He rested his back on the couch

“I will be leaving soon. I have a lot of things I have kept secret from you” I said

“Aidan, just say whatever you have to say” I said

“I come from a different planet, ” he said

I laughed

“I know, you come from Laviama. I know, you’ve got powers. I know, you’re a demigod. I know, your father is the god of fire. I know you have less than five days to stay here. So what??. How does that affect me??” I yelled

“You can go to hell for all I care!!!” I yelled

“Lissa” he cooed

I tried to fight back the tears threatening to fall

“You want to leave right? Fine you can leave. I don’t care!!!” I yelled

He tried holding me but I pushed his hand

“Get out” I yelled as tears drip down my face

“Lissa” he called

“I said get out” I yelled

He sigh and left

I cried

I couldn’t control my emotions, I couldn’t accept the fact that he was leaving. I just couldn’t take it

He will leave without knowing he had a baby growing inside of me

He’s going to leave without considering me and his baby

That’s unfair!!!

Tha…….that’s…..that’s unfair

Aidan’s pov :

I left her room in anger

Angry that she thought I wanted to leave

Angry that she wouldn’t let me explain myself

Angry at love

I hit my hand so hard on the wall, it bleeds

“Aaaarrhhhhhh” I screamed

“You’re hurting yourself” Delvan said

“I don’t care” I yelled

“You should give her time” he said

“She will surely come around. You know it won’t be easy for her just the way it won’t for you”, he added

I sigh

“Come on, let’s go in” he said

“I don’t want to” I replied

“You have to” he said dragging me along

I hope she really do come around

“Aidan, Lissa is leaving!!” Someone yelled

I sat up quickly. It was Mason

“You say?” I asked confused

“She wants to go” he said

“Who??” I asked

“Lissa, she’s leaving”

I stood up and ran out

“Why is she so unreasonable” I thought

I got to the sitting room to see Emily trying to stop her

“Lissa” I called but she ignored

I made to touch her but she moved back

I touched my hair frustrated

“All I wanted is to spend the few days I have with you” I said

“Please just stay back, if not for anything but for the love we once shared” I plead

“Aidan, I’m sorry I just have to leave” she replied

“Lis” I cooed

“There’s no point. I’ve made up my mind” she replied adamantly

I groaned

“You can leave” I said

“What?” Mason asked

“She can leave if she wants too, I don’t care” I yelled

I turned back

“It’s nice knowing you Lis” I said

“Aidan!!” Mason called

I ignored and went up the stairs

I’m done loving anyone

Lissa’s pov :

When I made up my mind to leave, I thought it was the best solution. I thought it will be easy. I never knew it won’t be.

I couldn’t stay back, cause sooner or later he will find out about the pregnacy

When he told me I could leave, I wanted to shout back at him. I wanted to tell him, I’m leaving because of him. I’m leaving because I love him but there are responsibilities he need to carry out, which I won’t want him to keep aside because of me.

I wanted to tell him how much I will miss him. How much we will miss him. But I couldn’t

Every word he said bore into my heart. I wanted to break down but I am a strong woman.

I watch him leave. I watched him climb the stairs

I sigh

“I’m leaving” I said

I made to leave but Emily stopped me

“I will go with you” she said

No I can’t let her. It’s my cross. I will carry it alone

“No you should stay back. It’s your best chance to be happy” I said

“You deserve to be happy too” she said

“I am” I replied

She wanted to say something but I stopped her

“Be happy Emily” I said

I finally dragged my bag out of the house

It’s my cross to carry and wouldn’t want to drag anybody along

Aidan’s pov :

“We should get going” Mason said

I turned to look at the house for the last time. The house I once loved. The house I have spent over two years at. The house that held beautiful memory of Lissa.

The last five days has been the worst days of my
life. With Lissa’s absent. I felt like my better half was missing

“Come on, we need to leave” Delvan said

“Do you think she will come?” I asked

“Aidan, I can’t say. But if she do love you like she claim she will come say goodbye” he replied

I sigh and finally entered into the car

I closed my eyes

“Lissa if you really love me and you want me to come look for you then let me see you for the last time” I thought

I don’t know how long the ride was and I dont care to know

All I wanted was to see her face for the last time

“We are here” Mason said

We alighted from the car and walked the rest to the portal

“The portal should open soon” Mason said

I nodded

I noticed Emily was not with us

“Where is Emily?” I asked

“She went to get something. She should be here soon” he answered

I waited patiently

“If she doesn’t come, then love doesn’t exist and I will never come to earth again. But if she does, she has proven that love do exist. I will definitely come back for her” I thought

“The portal is open” Delvan announced

I sigh, turned around to see if she came but there was no sign

I was devastated

I walked closer to the portal and made to touch it when I heard my name

The voice was familiar

The voice I was dying to hear

I turned around to see her running to my direction. Before I could say a word, and ran into my embrace

“I’m sorry” she cooed

Lissa’s pov :

Ever since I left the house I have felt empty, although It’s been five days but it felt like forever

“They are leaving today” I thought

Is it not proper to go see him off

I sat up

“No, I shouldn’t. I might end up telling him the truth” I thought

Maybe I should just let him go

There was a knock at the door and i stood up to open it.

“Emily”

“H….how do you know I’m here” I stuttered slightly

“Lissa, this is not the right time to ask. Come with me” she said

“Why should I?” I asked

“Lissa, I don’t want you to regret later. Aidan and the rest are at the portal. You should come say goodbye” she said

I turned

“I don’t want too” I replied

“Remember your dream” she said

I froze

“What if it comes to pass?”, I thought

I can’t lose him

“Let’s go” I said putting on my shoe

We left the house and boarded a car

The drive seems like forever

“Are we not there yet?” I asked

“Soon” she replied

*

We were finally dropped in front of a forest

“Are you sure this is the place?” I asked

“Yes. We will have to run to catch up with them” she answered

Run!

“Can I run??” I thought

What about my baby??

“Lissa, you have to run, if you really want to see him” I told myself

“Ok” I replied

*

I was beginning to feel dizzy but I kept reminding myself that I need to say my goodbye no matter the consequences

“We made it” Emilt screamed

I stopped running. I was panting heavily and at the same time feeling dizzy

“God safe my child” I thought as I felt sharp pain on my tummy

Emily used her hand to separate the last leaves blocking us. There he was about to touched the portal

“Aidan” I called and he turned back

I ran into his embrace

“I’m sorry” I said

“Shhhhhhh” he cooed

“I love you” I said amidst tears

He wiped my tears

“I love you too. I will definitely come back for you” he said

I smiled

“I will wait” I said

Rather we will wait

Emily said her goodbyes too. We watched them disappear into the portal.

I shifted backward as I felt a strange wind move round me

“Are you ok??” Emily asked

My eyes were dim. Everything became blur

“Lissa!!!, Lissa” Emily called

I felt myself falling to the ground

“Lisssssa!!!” Emily screamed

That was the last thing I heard before blacking out
