Forgotten

Necklace

Jennifer's POV

He doesn't love me.... I knew it. I was just getting my stupid hopes up.

After security, I looked back once more. I could no longer see mikey. I sighed. I guess this is it.... He's going to be here living his dream and I'm going to be in Canada, with my sick grandfather...... Away from the love of my life.

I sat down next to my mom at our gate. She took out her purse and handed me $30. "Go buy something to eat." She said. "My treat."

"So now your acting nice??" I practically yelled. "After security?!?!? UGH!"

I grabbed my purse and walked to Starbucks. Hopefully coffee can calm me.

I ordered my usual, a cotton candy fape. I paid and I got my drink. I decided to not go back to my seat, and I walked around a bit. I saw there was a gift shop and I walked into it.

I saw a nice pair of comfy UGG slippers and bought those. On my way out, something caught my eye.

I turned around and saw a necklace, exactly like the one Mikey gave me when I was little, but I couldn't wear it any longer because it was too small. I teared up at the sight of it. I looked at the price tag. $70.29

I couldn't afford that. I sighed and I walked away. I went back to security to see if I could see Mikey, I couldn't.

"He left you." The voice in my head said.

I sighed, knowing the voice was right.

I walked back to my seat at my gate, throwing my empty cup from Starbucks away, right before I sat down, next to my mom.

"He loves you." My mother said.

"1. No he doesn't. 2. If he does, why would you split us up? We were the bestest of friends." I said.

"I didn't know he loved you that much, seeing you with him...." She sighed.

"Seeing him with me what?"

"Reminds me of me and your father before the divorce, before it all went to shit."

I stayed quiet.

"I guess what I'm trying to say is," she said. "I'm sorry I'm forcing you on this trip. Your grandfather made me. He needs to see you, before he gets any sicker."

"You mean die."

"Jennifer." She said in a warning voice.

"Whatever."

"We'll come back to visit as soon as possible. I promise."

I stayed quiet.

"Gate 14 is open now. Anyone on Gate 14 can go on their flight." The announcer said.

I grabbed my carry on and my mother did the same. We stood up and walked to the entrance of the plane. I looked back, hoping I would see Mikey running up.... But he wasn't.

I sighed and I walked onto the plane. I sat on my seat, by the window, my mother next to me. I stared out the window as we took off.

I guess love stories aren't meant for real life.
