"Bye Bella," Ashton said softly before turning and gripping the handle of the front door. I winced, as if I were the handle being grabbed by the large hands of Ashton.
"Don't say bye," I mumbled, sounding in quite a lot of pain. Mental pain.
"Just say farewell," Luke said softly, repeating a phrase from the first time.
"Bella, don't do this to yourself. You want us to say good-bye, you said so yourself." Ashton spoke in a low voice. I shook my head, tears brimming my eyes. I was torn and I didn't know why I was so sad anymore, truthfully, but I was and I knew it.
I nodded. One broken person was more than enough. So, I let them go for a second time. For the last time.
They all marched out the door with their heads hung low and a few years here and there. My chin quivered as the door shut behind them, I quickly burst into tears feeling like I could cry a river at the time. Anthony quickly rushed over to hold me, but I cowered away.
He wasn't Luke. He isn't Luke. He will never be Luke...
And I love Luke.
"I need to go home," I mumbled to Anthony, almost inaudible.
"But you let them go," Anthony said sadly.
"I hurt to many people." I whimpered, "I can't do anything without hurting someone I care about. There isn't a way I can get the best of both worlds and I'm sorry, but I need to go home."
