twenty four- bittersweet

sofia pov: (the next day)
i wake up and get ready to drive jesse to the airport. this morning is bittersweet- we have potentiality saved our relationship but we're still taking a break. jesses going to stay in greece for three weeks as his brother lives there. i love jesse i dont know how i will cope without seeing him for three weeks but it will do me some good- i will finally be able to focus on getting some work done and maybe start looking after myself properly.

i can tell jesse is sad, i am too. but i decide to put a smile on my face to reassure jesse- the least i want to do is worry him and take his mind off the upcoming match.

"you ready" i nod to jesse as he walks downstairs carrying multiple suitcases.

"yeah let's go" he says with a slight smile.

i drive us to the airport, we hold hands the whole way and the radio is the only noise in the car.

we arrive at the airport and i help jesse carry his luggage to the plane, where the rest of the squad are also boarding.

"well then, i guess this is it" he says with watering eyes.

"i will miss you" i say crying.

"dont cry" he says laughing whilst wiping my tears back knowing full well that he is crying too.

"i love you sofia. so much. i wont ever stop fighting for you" he whispers.

i kiss his lips and as our fingertips touched for the last time we became strangers again but this time with memories.

he boards the plane and i watch him with blurry eyes as he disappears into the distance.

now we may be apart. but we still have one thing that connects us...

the small tattoos inked on our skin for the rest of our lives.
