Chapter 51

Lachlan

I have no idea where I’m going. I just have to keep walking. I had to get out of there. I want to throttle her and beg on my hands and knees for her to stop this shit. It’s not like she can bring it with her to Italy. She’s just making things harder on herself. I asked her for a week because maybe she will see it’s worth feeling it all. She has the space to do it because I’ll be there. She just has to let me be there.

It’s one step forward and ten steps back. But will we ever be a few steps ahead? Is this how it’s always going to be? I know the drugs aren’t the only issue. They are part of a larger problem. I can’t force her to change. She has to want to stop taking them. She has to want to change.

I keep walking, and the warm spotlights cast an almost romantic glow over the street. Too much energy has built up in me, and I need to get it out. Otherwise, I can’t calmly talk to Revna, which is what she needs right now.

I find myself walking past her building and pulling to a stop. She wouldn’t go back, would she? Someone rented her room, but I’m sure Joshua would let her stay with him. He’s a nice guy. My gut burns, and I’m angry all over again. Should I go up and check? No, there’s no way she would have gotten here before me.

I decide to keep walking and come up to the same Gothic-style church I saw a few months ago. Every time I look at it, it reminds me of Revna. Which, admittedly, is kind of weird. Architecture probably shouldn’t remind you of another person, but here I am. It looks like it’s still open, and I feel like I should go in this time.

The heavy door opens into a small entryway with candles off to the side. The general area with pews lined on either end of an aisle goes to the end of the building, where an altarpiece hangs. It’s beautiful with a cross and Jesus carved out of stone. It must be old based on how it’s constructed.

It doesn’t look like anyone is in here, but I sense the need to be quiet. I find a pew and plop down into it. The arches and ribbed columns of the building don’t belong here in New York, but that’s kind of the beauty of this city. You wouldn’t think many things fit here, yet they do.

The space is peaceful, and I feel the anger due to my lack of control seep away. I know I can’t control Revna. I’m not trying to. I just know this is not good for her. It’s not going to end well. I have this stomach-rolling feeling that it will end with me finding her in bad shape or she snaps, and I don’t mean a fit. I mean, her mind well and truly breaks.
