Chapter 118: Looking Back
I took a deep breath and was silent for a moment. I didn’t expect Jayden to have those feelings. I knew he was devastated when Mirea died because I also felt the same. I just couldn’t imagine how deeply he was hurt that he would create more identities to suppress his feelings.
"You need to talk to him, Peggy. Not just the usual talk. You have to reach his soul. He’s broken, Peggy. If you can’t save him, you will eventually lose him." Alora continued.
I went home with a shattered heart. I was scared to go inside our bedroom and see Jayden in another identity. I was unsure if I could handle him, but I had to try everything to save him.
I knew I was losing hope, but I couldn’t give up. I promised to love and be with him until death and I would never break that promise.
When I opened our bedroom door, Jayden was already awake and was sitting on the chair beside the window. I’m not sure if he didn’t hear me entering the room or if he was just ignoring me.
"Love?" I called and walked closer to him.
He didn’t look back at me so I rushed into him and crouched in front of him.
"Hey, is there something wrong?" I asked.
He finally looked into my eyes and stared at me. I was expecting the Jayden I was with since high school was back, but he wasn’t. His eyes were different again, but I couldn’t figure out who was in front of me.
"Where have you been?" He asked.
"I-I went to see Alora."
Then silence. My heart was pounding because I was scared of his answer, but I had to talk to him. Alora said, if I want to save him, I had to reach his soul.
