How hard I tried to change the ending. My ending. Our ending. I never did succeed. I've been in love many times in my life, everyone knows that. But you were different. With you it wasn't just love. It was more. It was deeper. It was something that I can't just put into words.

It was you who actually gave me the power of doing this. Writing this. I've hid my true self away all of my life, and with that I've made you hide as well and I can't express how sorry I am for that.

It's time that the world knows. So. World.

Beware.

I am finally going to tell you the thing that you all want to know so badly. I'm going to tell you all my life story.

I put the book back on the shelve. I don't even know who it's about. I've heard off the book on social media, but I got very mixed signals.

I pick up another random book and start reading the back. "hey Liv!"

I look up to see who called.

When our eyes met I smiled. "hey Charlie, long time no see." I walk up to him to give him a hug.

"yeah it really has been a long time hasn't it." he says, rubbing the back of his head. There is an awkward moment of silence between us. "what you reading?" he asks.

"oh nothing really, I'm actually looking for a new book." I smile. Putting yet another book back on the shelf. "any suggestions?" I ask him.

He looks around for a bid. "well actually. I did just read this book of an old actress. It was actually really good. It's called 'our ending' it must be somewhere around here" he says, looking around to see if he can spot the book laying somewhere in eyesight.

"I actually put it back on the shelf just a moment before." I say reaching out to grab the book. "oh, didn't like it?" he asked.

I quickly flip through the book, looking at a few pages. "I don't know. It's not normally what I like to read." I tell Charlie, looking at the back again. "I really liked it" he smiles. "I'm sorry to keep it so short but I really have to get going." He says and hugs me goodbye.

After looking at the book once more I think 'why not' and take it home with me.

When I got home I put the book on the couch and made myself a nice hot cup of tea to warm myself up. Putting the tea in a glass I walked to the couch and sat down. Starting in the new book.
