Separate And Ever Deadly

Chapter 13 - Forget me

Alex's POV

"Where is she, mom?" I asked after I hugged my mother, who had been missing me during my UK tour.

"I missed you so much, Alexander. I don't think I'll ever be able to get used to my son being a rockstar!" She admitted sadly.

"You'll be okay, mom, now tell me please, where is she?"

She looked away, avoiding me.

"Mom, I'm being serious? Where is Marie?"

"Alex... It's okay..."

"It's not bloody okay, mom! I had just returned home after a tour which was longer than I had expected and you don't want to tell me where my bloody girlfriend is! Marie? Marie, I'm home!"

I started to shout her name while climbing the stairs. I headed to her bedroom, expecting to see her inside. Only the thought that I'd see her again was making my heart beat faster. After all that time spent without her, I decided I had to find a way to keep her in my life. I had to be able to plan the gigs so that I'd also have enough time to spend with her. I had to. I was willing to start everything over just to be with her. Marie, the love of my life.

I opened the door with a huge smile on my face, but soon, tears started to roll down my cheeks. I felt a hand on my shoulder and I knew it was my mother's. Marie's room was empty.

"It happened two weeks ago. She had been waiting for you for the three weeks you promised. But then she got a call and she had to return home. Nobody expected you to be gone for so long on tour... Her time here was over..."

"No!" I shouted, still not wanting to believe it.

"Alex..."

"No, mom, no! You should've, you should've made her stay!"

"I couldn't, son. Rules are rules."

"But..."

I was out of words. There was nothing I could do to get her back.

"It was hard for all of us to say goodbye to her, Alex. She left you a letter though. I haven't opened it."

"Mon cher Al,

The last six months spent here have been the most beautiful of my whole entire life. I don't know if you felt it too, but whatever it was between the two of us, it was unique and certainly unforgettable. But we both knew this moment would come, as everything in life is temporary, right? I'm sorry for everything, for making you fall for me, for hurting you. I shouldn't have let this happen. It's bloody painful! Love is a dangerous game to play, Alex, and we should've known it before.
It's now time for me to go. I can't lose the plane.
You have a great life lying ahead of you. You're so talented I'm sure you'll get very far, so I guess the best for you would be to leave me behind. I know the Monkeys will be so popular they'll travel the world, so I'll definitely see you again. Don't forget, unlike people, music will never let you down.
Thank you for everything and please forgive me. Or better, forget me.

Je t'aimerai toujours!
Marie (Fries)"

I put the letter down and buried my head in her pillow, which still smelt a little like her. I was alone, despite having so many people loving me. The void she left in my heart was going to be there forever and no matter how hard I was going to try, I knew I'd never be able to forget my little Fries.

=================
Sorry for the abrupt ending, maybe one day I'll make a sequel to this story. Or if you want, we can get in touch and you can write it yourself!

I haven't spent very much time writing this and I think this is easy to notice. If you check out two of my other stories for which I spent considerably more time writing, "Scars" and "Love lust hate and dreams", I can promise you won't be disappointed!

Have a great day and thanks for reading! ^w^
