Hailey's POV:
I opened my eyes but bright lights made me shut them.
I groaned and tried again. When I succeed I looked
around my room and everything happened earlier came
to me. Chase asking me for divorce and sending me
back Oakland with Noah. Oh God where is Noah I shoot
up from the bed and looked in his coat. When he felt me
staring at him, he blinked his eyes like he just woke up
from sleep.
I sighed with relief but my heart was still beating like a
drum. I went to the bed to sit but some papers laying
on the floor caught my eyes. I picked up the papers.and
read them. So he left the divorce papers in my room, for
me to sign them. I felt a rage building inside me with
shaking hands I looked for a pen inside a drawer and
found one. I pulled the cap from the pen with my mouth
and signed the papers.
He wants me to leave him, he don't want to be Noah's
father, he don't want us in his life. Then guess what?
He's going to have what he wants.
I don't need him anymore. I'm not a weak girl I used to
be, who people can push wherever they want. Now I'm
a mother and I have a son to look after. I'm going to
show Chase that I can very well take care of my baby
without him.
I'm going to show him how strong I am. And I can do
anything I want to. He doesn't even know half about
me, and he's going to regret leaving me and my son. I'll
make sure of it.
I held the papers tightly in my hands and left my room
to give him signed papers. I pushed the door open and
stormed inside his room.
Chase was talking to someone on the cell phone, when
he saw me entering. He ended the call. Before he could
say anything to me I threw divorce papers on the floor
and said " I have signed these papers. Now you're free
and you can live your life like you always wished. I'm
going back to my old life. And I don't want your money
to make Noah a better man. I can and will take care of
him."
I turned around to leave but stopped and said "I
understand you. I'm really sorry for destroying your life.
I hope you can continue your dream life from now on.
Bye".
I came to my room and pulled out my suitcases from
closet and start packing my and Noah's stuff. I changed
into my denim jeans and long sleeves cream colored off
shoulder sweatshirt and Noah into his cute baby blue
outfit. Almost after two hours of packing I saw few of
my clothes and Noah's toys still unpacked. I guess I
have to leave them here.
Then I went downstairs and Chase parents uncle
drinking their coffee in the backyard. I think they didn't
know yet what Chase has done or maybe they don't
care.
I shrugged my shoulders whatever the case is now I
don't care anymore I can't live here with Chase. He
hates me so much and I think he blames me for the life
we're living. It's better for us to end this love less
marriage.
I filled the cup with some tea and pulled out the cookies
from cupboard then took them back to my room. It's 1
pm and I have no idea how I'm going to survive 9 hours
without crying or sobbing like a mad woman. Because
inside I'm dying every second but I have to be strong
for Noah. I would beg him to give another chance to our
marriage if I hadn't seen the determination in Chase
eyes when he asked me to sign divorce papers.
I hurriedly ate cookies and drank the tea. After delivery
when I was released from the hospital the doctor
instructed me that I should never skip meals because
it's not good for my health if I'm breast feeding Noah. I
hardly think cookies and coffee is going to provide any
benefits to my health but whatever.
I scooped Noah in my arms and kissed him on his
forehead while saying "Baby don't be sad. Your mom
loves you, and she is going to take care of you with her
life. She can and will do anything for you. And good
thing is that you will meet your granddad and great
granddad. I'm sure they will spoil you with their love."
I chuckled thinking that how my dad and granddad
going to be wrapped around his little finger. But what
can I say I'm already spoiling him aren't I ?
I played with Noah for sometime than he fell asleep. I
read my favorite book than paced in my room from the
nervousness.
I Re-checked my room and made the bed. I was doing
anything and everything to kill the time.
It was six o'clock when my bedroom door burst open
Chase dad and Eva came inside and saw my packed
suitcases.
They looked at me and my father-in-law asked "So it's
true you're leaving?".
I was suddenly tongue-tied with emotions I have been
feeling all day. I nodded my head, and they left my
room. Then I heard the voices of shouting and noise of
something smashing.
The argument lasted for half hour than Chase came
inside my room and announced "We are leaving. Don't
want you to get late."
His face was still red with anger, he took my suitcases
with him downstairs. I followed him out after scooping
Noah in my arms.
When I came downstairs I felt Eva glaring daggers at
me. My eyes landed on Chase dad who looks so sad. I
moved near him and said "Please don't be sad. We
knew or you can say I knew from the start my and
Chase marriage is going to be doomed. We both are
opposite, and he never liked me. It's miracle that we
stayed married this long."
I sighed and continued "Noah is your grandson and no
one can change it. So you can visit him whenever you
want.
He pulled me in his arms and kissed my forehead and
said "Never hesitate to call me if you want anything
Hailey". I nodded my head.
He continued and said "I tried stopping him but I think
no ones listens me nowadays. I'm getting old after all."
I laughed and said "I hardly believe you're old. I'm
going to miss you. Please for me tell Allison and
Cameron that they made my stay here bearable and I'm
going to miss them both a lot. And Noah is going to
miss his cousins Susan and Chris. Bye".
He nodded and kissed Noah's forehead. He placed
something in his hand. I looked closely what it is and
found a platinum chain with a unique locket. He saw me
staring and said "It is for my grandson. Keep it."
I finally got the courage to leave and said "Take care."
When I came out I saw Chase leaning on the car waiting
for me. When he saw me, he hurriedly opened a car door
for me I settled in my seat with Noah.
After half n hour of drive we finally reach airport. I still
have an hour to waste before my flight departure. So
we were just waiting in the lounge when Chase turned
to me and asked "Can...can... I hold Noah for few
minutes?".
I was shocked at his question but nodded anyways and
placed Noah in his waiting arms.
Noah instantly snuggled in Chase chest like he knows
that it's his last chance to feel his dad. Chase holding
Noah in his arms giving him feather like kisses made
me sad. I wish I could see them like this every day.
Chase must have notice me staring at him so he
started saying "Hailey... I really am sorry but believe me
it's best for us. I love Noah just like you do. You can
always contact me. And I'll visit you soon."
I took Noah from his arms and said while controlling
myself from crying "Chase... I...I think you're right it's
best for us to live apart. We were never meant to be for
each other from the start. Thanks for whatever you did
for Noah and me. Bye".
I heard the announcement of my flight boarding so I left
him in the waiting area. I went inside the plane and took
my seat.
Few traitorous tears roll down my cheeks and I furiously
cleaned them with my sleeves.
