The Camp Counsellor

Chapter 17 (the last chapter)

Vanessa's POV:

I returned to the apartment around an hour and a half later. i felt awful for what i was doing to Mads but i needed to. I hate myself right now and i'm not happy. I think starting over is what's best for me.

As I walked in to our bedroom i saw Madelaine asleep. Her tear stained cheeks were pink and she looked so hurt. I went over to her side of the bed and bent down next to her. I could hear her breathing slowly and i placed my hand on her face. She smiled in her sleep and my heart broke. I hated hurting her like this. i didn't want to hurt her. i placed a small kiss on her forehead before walking to my side of the bed. I crawled in started spooning her. I wrapped my arm around her waist and pulled her close.

Her eyes flickered open as i moved her closer to me. They were red as she had been crying and she looked up at me.

"hi baby," i whispered. Tears started to well in her eyes as i put my head against hers. "don't cry love,"

"please vanessa," she sobbed. i hugged her as tight as i could as she cried. She brought her hand to shakily grab mine. "please don't leave,"

"i'm so sorry love," i whispered into her ear, tears falling from my eyes. "i have to get out of here,"

She didn't say anything after that. I had her in my arms and i didn't want to let go.

"Mads please," i said as she looked up at me. "please don't hate me,"

"i don't"

"are you sure?" i questioned.

"100%,". She nodded. I laid back down with her in my arms.

"you're the love of my life," i said.

"then why are you leaving me?" she asked. I didn't really have an answer for her. Why was i leaving her? this girl in front of me made me question my whole plan. I was going to move out of our apartment and move to Canada. I needed to get out. I needed to start new. Or at least that's what i thought.

Madelaine's POV (the next day):

I woke up to Vanessa's hand brushing hair out of my face. I opened my eyes to see her beautiful face staring back at me.

"hi," she whispered. I didn't say anything, just looked away. her cuddling me like this is only going to hurt me more. it's going to make me not want to let her go even more then i already don't. Her doing this is breaking me.

I pulled myself out of her grasp and got out of bed.

"i'm going to take a shower," I said. She nodded and before going into the bathroom i turned to her. "are you all packed?"

"yes," she replied softly. I nodded and walked into the bathroom.

After my shower i walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around me. Vanessa wasn't in the room but her phone was on the bed so i assumed that she was still here. I opened my closet to grab a hoodie and noticed one of Vanessa's T-shirts laying on the ground. I picked it up and noticed what it was. It was the shirts we were given at camp, the purple ones with our names on them.

I heard the door open and Vanessa walk in.

"what so you don't want anything that has to do with me? with us?" I yelled as I threw the shirt at her. She unfolded it and looked up at me.

"Mad-," 

"DONT GIVE ME THAT SHIT," I screamed as I ran in to the bathroom. So what she was just going to leave everything that meant anything to us here. She didnt want it?

I was so mad I didnt even notice her come in. 

"Go awa-,"

"Madelaine just shut up," She said gently. I looked at her confused. "Havent you noticed?"
