"Mommy ? Mommy !" Emily called out, snapping me out of the thoughts I had been torturing myself wth for hours now without really realizing it.
"Huh ?" I turned my head to where her voice came from.
"The doorbell rang, there's someone at the door" she informed, still playing with her toy.
"Oh" I simply said, kind of in a daze due to all the thinking I had been doing pretty much all day.
I remained motionless for a few more minutes though, until the doorbell rang again. It took me some time to react, but I finally brought myself to go answer the door. When I reached it, I instinctively took a quick look through the peephole. I froze and my heart started racing when I caught sight of Johnny.
I stiffened instantly, resting my back flat against the door as I tried not to make any noise, barely even daring to breathe. I just couldn't open the door. As much as I wanted to, I couldn't. What was he doing here anyway ? Had he come to say goodbye ?
I had no idea but one thing was sure : I couldn't handle saying goodbye to him. I hated myself for having let it happen, but I loved him. I may have tried my best to convince myself I didn't, time had come for me to face the truth. I couldn't endlessly lie to myself. I loved him.
The bell rang one last time and I waited until I heard Johnny eventually leaving. My eyes suddenly filled with tears as I let myself slide down along the door. I buried my face in my hands and began crying.
♡♡♡
After I had finally been able to pull myself together, I went back to the living room and crashed onto the couch.
"Who was it ?" Emily asked, looking at me expectantly as if she was hoping it was someone specific.
"Oh, uh...no one" I quickly replied "Just...someone who had gotten the wrong place."
"Oh..." she gave me a brief head nod in understandment as she observed me carefully.
Ignoring her stare, I allowed myself to get lost in my mind once more.
"Mommy ? Why are you crying ?" Emily spoke again, noticing my red and puffy eyes.
"It's...nothing baby. Don't worry" I gave her a reassuring smile, or at least attempted to, before rolling over on my right side so it was now my back facing her instead of my face.
But I abruptly sat back up soon after. Realization had hit me, and it had hit me hard, almost as if I had been punched in the stomach. I felt stupid and illogical. I loved Johnny, I really did, therefore I had to follow him and stop continually asking myself dumb questions and assuming things wouldn't work out between us, because I had absolutely no way of knowing that in advance. Sometimes, you just need to listen to your heart, and my heart was currently telling me to go see Johnny right away.
Not thinking twice, I rushed to the door and ran to Johnny's aunt's. I was already halfway up the stairs when all of a sudden, I stopped dead in my tracks. My brain had regained the upper hand.
I shook my head before sitting down. What was I doing ? I'd never been one for thoughtless decisions and yet that was exactly what I was doing.
Damn, I wasn't some stupid teenage girl who has a crush on a guy, mistakes it for love, and feels like she'd do anything for him. I couldn't follow Johnny to Los Angeles because it wasn't reasonable, especially not when you have a daughter. I couldn't only think of myself and act like a selfish person. I had to think of Emily first, and what was good for her. Raising happy kids takes stability and I knew it perfectly well.
Gathering myself, I made my way back down the stairs, ignoring my deepest feelings and desires which were begging me not to.
♡♡♡
I went to bed pretty early that night. I had woken up at 6 in the morning so I was beyond exhausted. Yet, no matter how tired my body was, I wasn't able to sleep a wink. For some reason, my brain wouldn't stop functioning. Entire scenarios were playing out in my head as if to give me little glimpses of what my life could become depending on whether I decided to stay here or move out with Johnny.
I then started remembering things : our first encounter in the middle of the hallway, the first time we went out for a beer, the day we spent at the Christmas market, our first kiss, our first night together, all the sparks I got everytime he was near...
I couldn't even think of the tiniest bad memory, simply because there was none. Every second spent with him was pure heaven and had made me happy. I felt so helpless and desperate all of a sudden. Maybe I was about to miss out on true happiness and true love...
