Forever SoulMates by Selena F. (best ereader for graphic novels TXT) 📖

home, I go back to what I was doing. Keep running the business. Keep waiting for Dad to wake up from his coma. That is not a life. Now I have to live in fear because everybody I care about want to die for me. I want it all to stop.”

“You can’t keep a person from caring about you. When you really care about someone, the only thing that is in your mind is to keep them safe. If it mean you have to make a sacrifice, then so be it.” I sat up.

“Why?”

“Because we love you. What you think people would feel if something bad happened to you?” I start to think about the vision I had of my death. “Lea, all we want to do is keep you safe. Is that too bad?”

“No.” Drake smooth my hair behind my ear as he kiss me.

“I love you Lea. You don’t know how much it would be painful me to see you hurt.”

“I love you too.” Drake kisses me as we lean back on the bed.

Chapter 20

 

I open my eyes as I look around. I look up as I see Drake lying beside me.

 

“Hi beautiful.” He said as he smile at me.

“Hi.” I said as I smile back.

“Sorry if I woke you up. I just love watching you sleep.”

“You didn’t.”

“Good.” He said as he start leans in and start kissing me. The kiss was so passionate. I broke the kiss to catch my breath as he start kissing down my neck. At first I was enjoying it, until he bit me.

“Ouch.” I push Drake away. He tried to kiss me again, but I push him away and got out of bed. “Drake, what is wrong with you?” I put on my robe and turn to look at Drake…but it wasn’t him. It was Addanc. He smile as he sat up. “What are you doing here? Where’s Drake?”

“You are such a great kisser. I was enjoying myself.” He said as he gotten out of bed.

“You didn’t answer my question.”

“This is your dream.” In a second, he was in front of me.

“Are you telling me all of this is a dream? What happened last night was a dream too.”

“No. That was real. That’s why I’m here. You broke the rules.” He grab me by my neck and put me against the wall. “I told you to break his heart and you didn’t. Instead, you two had sex.” I could barely breathe as his hand tighten. “Too bad. I thought you were different, but you are just like your stupid mother.” Tears ran down my face. He start to close his eyes as he raise his other hand, but he stop himself. “What the hell?” He open his eyes as he looks at my stomach, then back at me. He smile as he let me go. I fell to the floor as I was gasping for air. He got down to his knees as he kept his eyes on me. “What do we have here? Someone has a little surprise for me.”

“What are you talking about?”

“You don’t know?”

“Know what?”

“You will find out soon.” He looks at my stomach again, then back at me. “I will give you another chance. You going to break his heart…and I’m going to be watching. You won’t see me, but I will be there. As soon as you done, you leave and never see him again. I know you will do the right thing.” He snap his fingers

******************************************

 

I woke up gasping for air. I look around and I didn’t see Drake. All I saw was a little note.

 

‘Be right back. Getting some breakfast.

                                            -Drake’

 

I jump when I start hearing my phone vibrate. I grab my phone look down it. I had few texts from Gabriella, Crystal, Caroline, Peter, and Ana that said ‘Miss you’. I scroll down some more on my phone. I had 5 missed calls from Sarah. I quickly called her back. On the second ring, Sarah answered.

“Finally you called.” Sarah said

“So you missed your plane?”

“Yea. What’s wrong?” Sarah went quiet. “Sarah?” It sound like she is crying.

“I am so sorry Lea. I take my eyes off him for a minute, then he was gone.” Tears filled my eyes.

“He’s… dead.”

“No. Well I hope not. When I say he was gone. I meant literally. I was gone for two minutes, then I came back and he was gone. Someone took him.” I was about to say something, but I stopped myself when I remembered what Tiffany said. 

‘Good because you don’t want to lose your daddy too?’

“Tiffany.” I mumbled.

“What?” Sarah asked

“Nothing. I’m on my way there.” I stood up as I left the bathroom.

“Wait… but you missed the plane.” I stopped as I remembered.

“I know. I will take another plane to Seattle.” I said as I start putting my clothes on quickly.

“I thought you was afraid of planes.”

“It’s not that bad.” After I was done, I closed my suitcase. “I’m going to the airport.”

“Okay. See you soon.”

“Yea.” When I hung up, I turned around and see Drake come in.

 

“Hey.” He said as he sat down the two cups and the bag. He looks at my suitcase, then at me. “Where you going?” I start to remember what Addanc said.

‘I know you will do the right thing.’

“Drake… last night was amazing, but I have to go.” I said

“Oh, I hate when this happens.”

“I don’t think this will work out.”

“Lea… we talked about this.”

“Drake, we are so different. We are not compatible. I can’t do this anymore. This is how I feel and you can’t change that… I just can’t be your soul mate.” It hurt me to say that. Tears ran down my cheek. I went pass Drake and left out the room. When I press the down button. The elevator open and I went in. As soon as it went down to the lobby and open, Drake was in front of it.

“So… everything that happened wasn’t real? You telling me you loving me wasn’t real?” Drake said as he follow me to the hotel clerk.

“Drake, don’t do this.” I said as I paid the hotel clerk. When he gave me back my credit card, I start walking toward the door, but Drake stops me.

“Lea, talk to me!”

“Yes, I lied! Everything that happen was not real. I don’t love you, so move on. Stop wasting your time on me. Find a girl that will actually love you.” Tears start running down my face as I saw how hurt Drake was. Everyone starts watching.

“Lea…”

“No. Just stop. This is how I feel. So do me a favor. Move on. Please.”

“I heard enough. You want to hurt me. Fine. You succeeded.”

 “Drake… listen…”

“No Lea. You listen. You not doing this for me. You doing this for yourself. You will always be afraid and even I can’t stop it. Lea, I am tired of you pushing me away. You are right. We aren’t mean for each other.” It hurt when he said that.

“Drake I’m sorry.”

“Oh, now you sorry. It’s too late. So… don’t be sorry. I am. I shouldn’t have pushed you so hard. I just have to know that I can never find someone.”

“Drake…”

“Lea, just go.” I tried taking a step toward him, but he moved away from me. I grabbed my suitcase and walked to the door and turn to him again.

“Drake I am sorry.”

“Why is it so hard to believe?” I nodded. I took off the amulet and went to Drake.

“Take it.”

“No.”

I grab Drake’s hand and put the amulet in it. “You need it more than I do.” I went back to my suitcase. “To make things a little easier, don’t call me.”

He smile, and it wasn’t a good one. “You don’t have to worry about that.” I flinch because when he said that…it didn’t have any emotion. I left out the hotel. Drake didn’t even follow me.

“I knew you would do the right thing.” Addanc said as I hear him in my Next thing I know, I end up break down crying. I look at the door again and Drake wasn’t there. After standing there crying, I caught a cab to the airport. When I paid for my ticket, I made it on the plane just in time. It felt like a long plane ride back to Seattle. I still couldn’t get over how emotionless he was. I broke him. As soon as the plane landed, I grab my suitcase and got off. As soon as I saw Sarah, I ran to her and gave her a hug. She hug me back. 

 

“Are you okay?”

“No. I mess everything up.”

“What you mean?” Before I could answer, I start to feel nauseous. I let go of her and went to the trash can as I threw up. I sat up as soon as I felt a kick. I put a hand on my stomach. “Lea, you okay?” A lady came to me.

“Are you Lea Richardson?” She asked

“Yes. Why you ask?” I said

“Someone wanted me to give you this.” She said as she gave me an envelope. Before I got to ask who, she was already gone. I look back at the envelope. It had this scent I recognize. I open the envelope and a ring fell out. I gasped as I look at the ring. Sarah picks it up.

“It’s was Dad’s wedding ring.” I said.  I look back in the envelope and pulled out a note. The note said.

 

‘I warned you. Can’t wait to see you again.

                   -Tiffany xoxo

P.S. Your Dad says ‘hi’'

 

Tears filled my eyes. Does it mean that he is alive? Then I hear something hit the window. I went the window and look out. I see Tiffany as she smile at me. She blew a kiss at me. I look down at the note, then back at the window, but she was gone. Next thing I know, I feel a small kick in my stomach again. I gasped and look down at my belly. This can’t be happening. I put my hand on my stomach and looked up.

 

“Lea, what is going on?” Sarah asks. I turn toward Sarah.

“I’m pregnant… and I think that Tiffany knows.”
