The Unknown (completed)

Ours

1 year later....

I haven't heard from my best friend or my boyfriend. I don't even know if there out of jail. To be honest, I don't think we are dating anymore. We haven't talked in over a year, and I really don't even remember what his voice sounds like. For Kaylee, I wonder if she still has that beautiful red hair. I miss them both so much.

"Listen I think we need to break up. I haven't talked to you in forever. I moved away for reasons, and I just hope that you understand. I started a new life, which I want you and Kaylee to be in, but I don't think we will ever see each other again and for good reasons . I love you guys so much." I texted and sent in a group message with Zac and Kaylee. I really didn't want them to get there phones back after jail and see that message. Because that would be the first thing they ever saw, and I would ruin the moment.

I walked out into the complex to go get some food, which now, I had money for. I work a Starbucks, and I get payed well for a 20 year old. I was walking and texting. Not a smart idea but I wanted to see if I got a reply from Kaylee or Zac. I wanted one of them to reply, but then I thought about it, and there is absolutely nothing to say but " Okay". I left them with no choice but to except the fact that I am long gone, and I am never turning back. Not for the people I love, not for the people I loved, not for my family.

My head was in the clouds, thinking about the text as I was walking to the stairs that lead to the cafe'. Still in the clouds, I bumped into someone, hard. My head starting throbbing, and I started to feel dizzy.

"I am so sorry, I can't seem to get my head wrapped around things." I said nervously. Everything was blurry and my eye sight was bad.

"Oh my, I ." The mystery person said sounding shocked.

The person grabbed me and hugged me so tight. The told me everything was okay, and that they wouldn't let me pass out, and blah blah blah, because right then. My focus cleared. I was in the arms of Zac Hayes. My "ex" boyfriend. He helped my to my room and we sat on the couch.

"Zac?" I said as I cleared my throat just enough so that I wouldn't sound like a guy.

"I missed you so much. I've been looking for you."

"You looked for me? Why? I thought you would read my text and you guys would leave me alone. I wanted that for you and me and Kaylee. I didn't want you to follow. I wanted you guys to join the real world and start fresh." I said worried and anxious.

"I wouldn't be back in this world if it wasn't for you. Don't you think for a second, that I wouldn't want you or I wouldn't need you. I am in love with you. I live and breathe for you. Because without you, I wouldn't be here, I would have stayed in jail, and without you, no one is there for me. I will always look for you." He said almost in tears. I starting crying because I realized how much I love him and how much he needs me.

"Listen to me. I love you and I understand where your coming from, but I want you to start fresh. Please for me."

"Why would I leave everything I got?"

"Because you care about me."I said in a almost irritated voice.

"You don't get it do you! I love you and I want to stay. You are all I got, and if I leave you, I don't have a reason to live."

"Us going are separate ways and getting a fresh start is what you got. You got a brand new life ahead of you, of us, and your just going to throw it all away? Zac, I am in love with you. If we can make this work, If you would leave and find someone else, we could start new. We could have a happy ending to this story. I want what's best for you, and dating someone you went to jail with, is torture and it reminds you of the past, and I don't want that for you. This is what I want. A new beginning. And it starts right here."

"Nothing is wrong with me, I don't feel pain, or anger, or revenge, when I am with you. I want this to be our story. Not to separate stories. I want it to be our story. And it's all beginning right here."

"Zac this isn't going to work. We are fighting about if we are in love. That's whats wrong. We are so in love, we depend on each other for surviving. What happens if one of us are gone? Then what? One of us are going to give up. That's not my happy ending." I said as tears formed in my eyes.

"Fine I'll leave because of you. If you don't hear from me, or see me. I don't want to be found.I don't want to go on without you. So if one day comes, where you don't get a text from me. Then I am gone. Not because of you, because this is our happy ending." He said as tears poured down his face. He got up off the couch and went to the door.

"Goodbye Bailey. I love you." Then he starting closing the door after a long pause.

After it was barely open, I whispered to myself,

"I love you more."

Then the love of my life shut the door, and went out of my life. Man, was I devastated. I screwed everything up, but I only wanted what was best for us. I loved him so much that I shut him out and he shut me out. I just want to say that I loved him one more time. I picked up the vase, of my coffee table and I threw it at the door. It busted and shattered everywhere. I screamed with tears pouring down my face,

"I LOVE YOU!"

There, I said it, one last time.
