When It Comes To Love I Will Stand
#WritcoStoryPrompt39
Some dreams are meant to come true,. But what do you do when your nightmare comes true? Do you run the opposite way or face your fears?
Nightmares are heart broken, too frightening, but it is even more striking to the heart when it becomes a reality.
I will not run from what I had been fighting for over these years. Fear is present, but when it comes to loving her, I will still stand.
The doors were close, no one seems to be home. She had told me that she will be home, but everywhere around her house seems lonely and cold. An agony feeling in my chest, have me roaming my mind, trying to remember if I had been here before in this moment.
Cassie told me she would be home for the holidays, we were quite a couple at the age of 24. We had met three years back and we're together two years now. Throughout all those times things had been so hectic , I thought we wouldn't make it.
Bella I'm tired of all these pains, I'm tired of all the running, all these protections, when is this ever going to end baby! When will I finally be happy? When will I ever get the chance to see you? Cassie said while crying over the phone.
It had been months now and things were still the same. Sometimes I wonder if I had made the right decisions... But who am I kidding, I wouldn't know because I'm already in love with cassie. She's a generous girl, always thinking productive, but her levity was a total different situations. Cassie had been brought up in an abusive family, greedy and evil. She did not have a happy life, as she had been sexually abuse by many family members, as well as physically abuse. She lived on the street for a long while, not knowing she had money, until one day a guy took her in, cared for her, she completed her medical course and head off to America.
It is when cassie had to leave Jamaica I knew her over the phone. Social app does that a lot.
Cassie dad died when she was in medical school. He died from cancer and that had taken a big part of her. Her family found out about his inheritance he had leave for his childrens. But it angers them because cassie name was on all the wills including her younger sibling inheritance, until they reach the age to handle their own wealth.
Because of this her father families wanted her dead. It came with sexual abuses, hiring someone to kill her more than once, but all failed. She went on life machine so many times, that I found myself unable to eat, sleep mindless to happy. The more she tried to be happy, the more her happiness was destroyed, she was destroyed.
Cassie had been kidnapped so many times but she was always lucky enough to be alived. Each time she got taken away or raped, I always lost apart of myself, my heart was burden by how much I'm so far away, yet I'm so in love with her and there's nothing I could do to be there with her. She didn't want her families finding out about me, else my life would be in danger as well. Some part of me didn't cared, just as long as I had her in my life.
I keep on getting dreams of her and her families which was strange. I could see what had happened before and what was about to happened to them, weirdly enough in my dreams I saw the pains and hurt they were facing now. I didn't know what this was, but I took it as a sign. Maybe I'm suppose to help them get through this.
I started to interrupt me dreams and I was amaze on the things I texted them telling them to do, I told them what I saw and how to approach the situations and they did just that. within Couple months time things were beginning to change for them and I felt like an angel sent to guide them.
Cassie mom and her sisters, brothers and her in laws started to love me. They said I save their lives, that I'm an amazing person, they all seems to think I'm some sort of Angel to see all I saw in my dreams about them and the way how I help to cause less pain. I don't know what to think. I know I'm special, I know I'm gifted, but what am I really!!!!
Never once had I backed down through cassie hard and devastated times. I didn't want anyone to discourage me, I didn't want my families telling me to leave her, because I knew they would. I knew they would asked me what kind of problem I had taking up, why I'm with someone who people are trying to hurt and that I should leave.
I know I was never going to leave cassie. Hell yeah things are hard and dangerous with her, but I'm in love with her and I was never about to turn my back on her. No I wasn't. In fact I had asked her to marry me over the phone, and she said yes. I was over joyed.
Whatever she went through I still stand, all her pains I still stand, all the threats, I still stand and with everything else that kept going wrong including our disagreements over the phone, I'm still here, I'm still with her, because cassie is my forever love, someone I want to be with someone I want to marry, she's the one I want to grow old with, and even with all the nightmares I had of her and her families that came to life, I still stand. Never will I walk away.
That's what love is.
