Mia's POV:




2 weeks after Graduation





The past couple of weeks have been so amazing. Elizabeth has taken me everywhere. Theme parks, bowling alleys, the movies, dates, football games. It's been the most wonderful two weeks. Me and Liz were closer than ever and we loved every minute of one another's company.

She's very clingy and adorable and seeing her happy simply makes my heart melt. She deserves the world and nothing less. She's the one. I'm sure of it. If I could marry her in the spot I would, I'm that over the top for this girl that I'm willing to risk it all. I just thank god for this amazing girl.

Right now I'm walking to her house. I'm taking her out on a picnic date that I've set up as a surprise. She's going to be so amazed. Seeing her smile everyday, hearing her rare and funny laugh is contagious. Her deep hazel eyes. I'm definitely in love.

I walk up to her house and knock at the door, my flowers in hand. While I'm waiting for the door I check my hair in the glass, tucking it behind my ear. Then eventually the door opens. It's MK.

"Hey MK, I'm here for Ellie." I say with a smile and she looks at me confused. Why is she looking at me like that? "What's wrong?" I ask.

"Mia, Lizzie left 6 hours ago..." she says, and now the look on her face is identical to the one on mine. What does she mean left?

"Left? What are you talking about?" I ask, slightly panicked, I'm very baffled right now. Is she safe? Where is she? My mind is racing with the possibilities.

"Yeah, she's gone. Her flight was ages ago? Wait why are you here?" She asks and my heart doesn't know how to feel. It's sad, but it's odd because it's not like any sadness over ever felt before. My hands are sweaty and my breathing is off, my legs feel like jelly and my mind is thinking of what she's could be doing.

"Flight? Where did she go? Why are you talking about?" I stammer, not really knowing what to say.

"Yeah, she's probably in Russia by now." MK says. Why on earth would she be in Russia? And why didn't she tell me? Is this a joke?

"Russia? She's in Russia? Why?" I mumble, mispronouncing some of the words I say because of my trembling jaw.

"She didn't tell you?" MK questions, tilting her head to the side. I'm panicking. WHATS GOING ON?!

"Tell me what?" I ask, my eyes brimming with tears.

"She's going to study in Russia. She's going to Drama school out there. She didn't tell you?" MK asks. It literally feels like my heart is being ripped out of my chest, and thrown straight into a shredder. Why would she leave? Or she could leave, but why on earth would she leave and not tell me?

"N-no she didn't. She didn't say goodbye, she just left... why would she do that?" I ask rhetorically, tears slowly falling down my red cheeks. She pulls me into a hug and I sob slightly, not knowing how to handle this entire revelation. After a minute of silence, the sadness is replaced by anger. I push myself off her body and march away from her. I can't see her. I can't see them, at least right now. I need to go and release my emotions.

I hear Mary- Kate call after me as I stomp my way down the sidewalk, but I ignore her. I can't deal with the pain Elizabeth caused me. The last person I thought in this entire world that would hurt me like that, was the one to actually do it. She was the one. I've never been so sure if anything in my life. I trusted her and she just up and left.


Mary-Kates POV:


"Who is it Mary?" Ashley calls from the sofa as I step inside the house and close the door softly. How could she do this to her. That girl has the purest heart out of anyone I know and my own flesh and blood hurt her.

"It was Mia..." I say just loud enough for her to hear. My voice is croaky from the crying I've been doing myself. Seeing Mia in that state was hurtful, and I won't forget the feeling. I Felt her pain, even seeing her like that was enough for me to cry, so to actually feel that pain must be immeasurable.

"MK, what's going on? Are you okay? You're crying." She says and standing up and looking over at me while I sit down at the stool at the island table.

"Yeah, Y'know Lizzie didn't say goodbye to Mia? Yeah, Mia just showed up with a bunch of flowers asking for Liz." I say and Ashley looks as shocked and confused as Mia did.

"Why didn't Liz tell her? She left Mia and she had no clue?" Ashley says and rubs the back of me, consoling me despite the one who needs it the most is nowhere to be found.

Mia didn't know what to do. She took the flowers and she stomped on them, treating them the same was Lizzie treated Mia.

She bought some weed. She bought some alcohol and she had the picnic, that she would of had with the love of her life, alone. She smoked and drank her pain away, only it didn't go away.

A part of Mia died that day. She'll never forget it. It was the day that Mia realised love was for children. It was a fairy tail and no one could convince her otherwise.
