Journey to Happy Ending novel Chapter 1808

"Justin, please don't go… stay with me for a while… I promise… Just a little while…" Joyce murmured softly, her breath smelling of alcohol. Huey's heart twitched, watching his twin sister in enormous emotional pain. He wondered if there was anything he could do to ameliorate the situation.

"Joyce, wake up, I am your brother Huey, not Justin," Huey said rather loudly. He hadn't fallen in love with anyone so far, and hence, he didn't know much about love. But if falling in love was anything as painful as what his sister was experiencing right now, he decided he'd rather stay away from it.

"Brother, please tell me, why can't Justin fall in love with me?" Joyce asked, tear drops flowing down her cheeks. She was undoubtedly drunk but Huey figured out that she still hadn't lost consciousness.

"It's very simple, because he doesn't love you. But you are in denial of the truth," Huey said slowly and calmly so that the truth could pierce her heart which was now floating in a sea of intoxicating alcohol. He wore a cool expression and his eyes were grim and deep, depicting a maturity that was meant for people far ahead of him in age.

"Oh! That's right, because he doesn't love me so he can hurt me without feeling liable for it," Joyce said with a heartbroken smile.

"If he doesn't hurt you now and come out clean with you, he will only end up hurting you much more in the future. It may even end up jeopardizing both your lives," Huey said earnestly. At this point, Huey was very much in favor of Justin's approach. Since a relationship was impossible, it was obviously advisable for her to experience all the pain at once. Although it might seem a little cruel at the outset, it was indeed the kindest thing he could have done.

"But I am so sad! I can't just stop loving him in a moment's notice. What should I do?" Joyce asked in a whisper. If love was perhaps an entity to be taken and withdrawn by will, would it be qualified to be described as true love?

"Joyce, just give it some time. Time heals all wounds, regardless of how deep the wounds are," Huey comforted her gently. Even if she was deeply in love with him as of now, he believed that once the circumstances altered, it would be possible for her to forget him completely and fall in love with someone who reciprocated her feelings.

'Joyce, only when you experience the extreme pain, you will know how to let it go. Only by doing so will you be able to enter into a new phase of life. So I do not mind if your pain seems unbearable for now, because only in this way the next time when you fall in love, you will be more mature and cautious, ' Huey's mind was facing a hurricane of thoughts he wanted to convey to his sister.

He stayed with her for a long time until she finally dozed off. The day had turned out to be unusually exhausting for her. Then he tiptoed out of her room, only to be startled by the dark shadow guarding the door.

"So your sister finally fell asleep?"asked Rain, anxiously. He was aware that this moment would arrive someday, but he wasn't expecting it this soon.

"Yes! Dad, you already know about what happened to her, don't you?" Huey asked in a faint tone. He'd be unequivocally surprised if his father actually knew something about this.

Rain sighed deeply, cleared his throat and said, "About my own daughter's feeling towards Justin? I'm confident that only ignorant people like your mother wouldn't be able to figure it out. Instead, she is always worried that her daughter couldn't find a boyfriend. She didn't figure out that it isn't because she couldn't find one but because she already has a secret crush on Justin." Rain couldn't be more concerned and anxious about his daughter. He would do practically anything for her. However, he knew that he was not qualified to advise her on her relationships, despite how much ever he wanted to.
