Chapter eight – I Will Continue Loving You
　　Eddie’s POV
She was still with me, I wanted to hold her hand to tell her to run away with me. But where would we stay? David was brave enough to end a life to protect whatever secret there was, then, he would move the world to find us. I decided.
　　“Please you must go” I said it. And saw her greatly shocked, but I wasn’t ready to make it break my aim. I told my precious amulet, my jewel, my life to go away even though it teared my heart. I was afraid for her life, I didn’t want her to get hurt and told her myself to go away.
　　I had lived a few years without her just as she had and I knew she was happy and the truth of the matter as I knew it could only destroy that one thing I’ve loved so much, her smile. I could see the respect and love she harbored for that man, so if I told her the truth, she could only break down.
 So the only option I had left was to let her go without knowing the truth. I couldn’t protect her from the harm he might have meted on her so the only way was for her to stay ignorant. I shouldn’t have being idled and should have become more powerful then I could protect her.
　　I looked into her eyes to see them wet, I shook my head at her. I knew she was disappointed but I didn’t want to see her tears, I didn’t know if I had done it right. She still love me even though she couldn’t remember me, if not why will she cry over a stranger telling her to go away from him? I was happy that our love never faded.
　　“Why? Eddie why? Why are you lying to me in my face? I don’t understand anything anymore ” she asked sadly.
　　‘Even I didn’t understand anything, I had to know the truth fully before I can let it out to you. I should investigate why you called that man daddy when I am sure he isn’t. What happened to you for you to have memory lose. ’ I thought.
　　That man was wicked, a murderer and if not anyone he tried to kill me. Knowing the truth could only put her at risk which was unacceptable.
　　I held her hand and said,
　　“Emily, your father might be looking for you, you must go. You don’t look fine, go and have some rest before your journey…”
　　Oh I got screwed and was definitely going to ask me how I knew about the trip with the look she was giving, I had to think fast.
　　She looked straight into my eyes as if seeing my lying soul, then she suddenly blinked and asked,
　　“You know that I am traveling, how did you know? I don’t remember telling you yesterday. ”
　　“Ah… I am eich! It’s very painful. ” I pretended.
　　“Man, I’m not falling for your tricks, just tell me the truth will you?” she caught on my trick.
　　“Ah… yes it’s just that… you know I wasn’t trying to hide the truth… you… you.. told me yourself remember? You had said, I might be traveling after graduation. You might not remember because you said it unconsciously. ” I stammered.
　　“I did? Anyways I will surely be traveling but I don’t know where I will be going even now. I will contact you when I find out, you rest your head about me I am not actually that sick. Please contact me anytime you can okay? You will right? ” she asked.
　　“Yes I will, I promise, I will call you. ” I promised
　　She looked at me once again with a hint of disappointment and asked,
　　“I should trust you right? You are not telling me the truth are you?”
　　I shook my head and advised,
　　“For your own good, I haven’t lied to you in anyway, please do not trust blindly. This world is full of deceit and caprice, everyone is lying for one reason or the other. No matter what someone tells you, until you have full prove and evidence about it and investigated to the last point, please do not believe in them. If its me or your father or any one else, stay stronger and do not believe in it. Believe solely in yourself and know that anyone can lie, but please believe one thing if you can and that’s I have loved you since I met you and I will continue loving you. Please don’t forget this time, don’t forget me, I will be waiting for you. Matt please see her out, I need to rest. ”
　　She looked at me astonished and wanted to speak once again but I turned my eyes from her until she left hesitatingly. I looked at the door she left through, and captured her image in my heart. ‘Goodbye my love, I will get stronger for you. This I promise you, I hope you stay safe, a few more years and I will find you and protect you from any harm. Never letting you go. ’ I thought
　　I had closed my eyes and Matt approached me and cleaned my eyes, until I realized I was actually tearing.
　　“Don’t be sad, everything will be alright, she will be fine that I promise you. I will protect you both till you both get back to yourselves. ” he whispered thinking I was sleeping.
　　‘What does this guy think he is? To make sure everything goes right?’ I thought.
　　So I told him off irritated,
　　“Fuck off, what can you do?”
　　He smirked and said,
　　“It’s only a matter of time before you know who we are. I am capable of so many things you don’t know and the same goes for both of you but until you realize that, I will protect you. ”
