Forbidden Love
MatchBox. (31st Chapter)
..........................
Evelyn's POV:
.........................
People gave me strange and worried looks, while I ran in fearful tears. I know for a fact that I am free, but something inside me feels caged till this moment. I didn’t dare to make eye contact with any of the public, because all what I was focused on is getting to the address that Mrs. Higgins gave me. The address is not far, and I am quite familiar where the neighbourhood is located at.
It is the same neighbourhood that my mother would never allow me to go to. It’s the same neighbourhood that my mother always taught me to avoid while driving around. My mind was filled with hideous stories about the average communities, thus it made me fear the unknown. But right now I have no other fear, than what awaits me tomorrow in court.
My watery eyes focus on the buildings, searching for the correct one to enter. Once I do, I slide into the elevator; pressing the level four. The door opens slowly, while I roam around the hallway; scanning the number of the correct apartment. I slide the key to the designated door, unlocking it as I enter quietly. I yelp once I hear a sudden voice, but then I relax when a pet cat emerges at my heels.
I kneel down patting the cat, grabbing her in my arms and walking through the apartment. The entire condo is the same size of my bathroom, back at the mansion. But it isn’t my bathroom anymore, and I have nowhere else to go. Sprinting through the tidy apartment, I lay down on the small arm chair; sniffling my nose in silence. Where do I go from here, god? What am I supposed to do? My eyes begin to close slowly, and the next thing I notice is that I drifted in sleep.
…At Night…
“(She whispers) Mrs. Evelyn?” I wake up to notice Mrs. Higgins smiling with sympathy all over her features.“(I fix my seating position, dropping the cat on the ground) I don’t think you’ll need to refer to me as ‘Mrs.’ anymore. Please just call me Evelyn, Mrs. Higgins?” The middle-aged lady nods with a comforting smile, as she sits down on the chair across form mine.
“(She points to the unfamiliar boxes behind her) I grabbed all of your clothes and the other essentials. I snuck them out when Mr. Styles wasn’t in the room. I found a sealed envelope in one of your drawers too, so I placed it in my purse so I won’t wrinkle the paper.” I furrow my eyebrows together, not quite remembering which envelope I had. Suddenly, my eyes widen when I remember the envelope; it’s the one that my mother gave me to persuade Harry to sign.
“Are you alright, child?” I nod, as my answer emerges: “Do you have a lighter, or a matchbox Mrs. Higgins?” She nods, hesitating to understand why am I asking for such. She walks to the kitchen, rummaging through a certain drawer to retrieve a matchbox. “Here you go.” I collect the box, then request from her: “Could you hand me that envelope?” She slips her hand through her purse, sliding out the venomous package.
I take it from her, while my other hand lights a match; sparking it with fire. Mrs. Higgins watches my moves carefully, as I lean the match to the edge of the paper case, causing it to flame on entirely.“Dear, are you positive of burning it? It might be important?” I shake my head, surprising the both of us when a smile creeps on my face.
The paper turn to ashes, the ashes turn to black dust. The legal agreement is now history. But the saddening part is that Harry and I might be as well. But even if my heart shatters at the spilt, it won’t hurt me enough as much as the possibility of me harming Harry. I am no longer caged, am I am free along with my lover. The same lover that I might lose, oh Harry how much I need you right now…
