Ring Ring...

"Please leave your message after the beep..."

"Hey Jess, the time you hear this you'll already be in America and have already walked away from my complicated feelings," I say wiping the tear from my eye, and taking a shaky breath.

"and no I don't want you to think about me, I want you to move on and love someone who isn't broken," I bite my bottom lip to stop it from quivering, and shut my eyes tightly as I possibly can. just thinking that thought hurt.

"I just wanted to tell you something that I couldn't tell you to your face"

"I love you," I state as my voice cracks "And I'm sorry I didn't say it sooner" I took a pause trying to stop myself from sobbing.

Flashback

" I Love you holden" she spoke looking back and forth between the floor and me, with tears in her eyes.

"N-" I go to say but she cuts me off by speaking again, whilst grabbing my hands

I took a couple of deep breathes before continuing.

"love...love is a hard concept for me" Another shaky breathe "whenever i heard it, it was misused. Love was the disguise for hate and any other word that is toxic"

"i froze because...well I waited for the take back at the end" i let tough a sigh as i wiped my eye from the tear that escaped the closed lids

"the time I realized you meant it you were already in the car leaving my house" I let out a pathetic sigh that sounded like a whine

"And I'm so sorry I'll never get to tell you I love you face to face"

I let in a shaky breathe before continuing

"I'm sorry
