This is it. This is the end. 

I can't let anyone down. Neither my love nor my dad. This leaves me to the only choice. I take the blame for everything so my dad stops hunting for Cassie. He's no longer in suspicion. 

I am the murderer, even if it's not true.

I have to protect my dad and I have to protect Cassie. She's better off without me. As hard as it is to say, we must drift apart. This is the only choice.

I won't see Cassie anymore and my life won't be the same. I had to sacrifice myself. I hope I made everyone proud. I saved everyone. It is going to be okay, even though it means no more seeing Cassie everyday. No more kisses. No more of her flower smell. No more Cassie.

I told Cassie they were taking me away. To a prison a little away from OBX. I don't know when I will be out but till then I hope you don't forget me. I hope you don't forget the conversations we had. I hope you don't forget how happy you made me. I hope you don't forget my love for you Cassie. I love you and I always will. I hope you do too. The ring will help you remember me. 

You started screaming the second I told all of this to you. You wouldn't stop crying. You wouldn't let me go. You held on to my hand you held on to me. You asked them to let me out so you could say goodbye to me. You jumped in my arms and wouldn't let go. You held me so tight, because you knew I was going away. You sobbed into my chest while shaking. You said how much you loved me. You said you were never going to let me go. 

I noticed the Pogues in the back. I saw Kie and Sarah sobbing in the back to our love story. It was real. The fire will never die. I screamed as the time was up and the police had to take me away. I couldn't push away, there was no point. You held on to me. John B stepped in and tried to pull you away from me. You wouldn't let go you wouldn't stop crying. My heart shattered with every time tears went down your cheeks. Your soft, rosy cheeks.

The Pogues behind you. Sarah cried with you. You sat on the cold floor, crying and shouting. Sarah hugged you tighter each time you sobbed harder.

This isn't a goodbye.

and

 I promise, one day we will collide.
