Second Chance-In the mist Book 1 novel Chapter 46

"That's true. I explained nothing to her. I didn't even get a chance because she kicked me out of her apartment. But we can't avoid each other forever and at some point, it will all come out. And then Rebecca will have to choose. Either she'll walk away, scared, or she'll stand by me like the Luna she is!" 

WHAT ARE FRIENDS FOR?

Rebecca's story

I was so hurt. If the wound was physical, I could have healed it, but it was deep in my soul and it hurt like hell. And the worst of it was that there was no healing. 

I urgently needed someone to be near me. And I didn't mean someone from the agency. I meant a loyal friend that I missed. I wondered if she was in town? 

I was so happy when she answered on the first call and recognized my voice immediately. It had been so many years.

"Samantha…" That was all I could come up with. The excitement was so strong that it drowned me.

"Becca? Is that you, love?" I had missed that sound so much. I was instantly choking back tears, so Sam kept talking. "Darling, I know it's you. Please talk to me or you'll worry me," she continued to speak to me in the same worried tone. Finally, I could say something. 

"Sam... yes, it's me... and I need you. Please tell me you're in New York." 

Samantha was a travel fanatic, so it would be a genuine miracle if she were here. She spent a lot of time traveling around the world for her travel blog. Money was never a problem for her and she used it in the most enjoyable way possible. 

"As a matter of fact, yes, I'm actually in New York to sort out some paperwork. But right now, I'm on my way to see you. Same apartment?" 

"Same..." 

I was so happy. Life tore us apart cruelly. We had known each other since we were teenagers, but since her parents passed away, Samantha spent as little time as possible at home in New York. That's probably how she dealt with her grief, traveling. 

I couldn't describe in words the joy of seeing her again. I jumped into her arms from the moment she crossed the doorstep.

"Oh, love, but you really missed me" 

I later realized I had her at the door, so I invited her in.

"You have given no signs lately, Sam. Are you okay?" 

"Dominic Stone!"

"No way..." 

"Yes, way. There is no point in going into details now. What is certain is that I got paralyzed for a while, blind and remembering nothing that happened to me. I don't know what Dominic was doing in that place at night, but I was lucky he happened to be there"

The grimace on her face told me she was trying to understand what was connecting me to Dominic now.

"Okay, Dominic Stone saved you. What's next?" 

"Something happened in the few months I stayed in his house. Although at first, because I couldn't see, I didn't believe it was him, in time I convinced myself. Then things progressed quickly." 

"You fell in love with him!" Sam drew the inevitable conclusion and quickly said it. It didn't take a magician to figure it out.

"I did, Sam, and it was the biggest mistake of my life. And not because he's an actor, and he's busy and he has a lot of fans. No. But because he wasn't exactly honest with me."
