Solar Blue Returns (Blue Water High Fan Fiction)

Part 17/20: Nothing's Changed

Heath followed Fly outside, and is now walking behind her.

Heath: Where are you going?

Fly: I'm leaving this place.

Heath: Why? It's just a 'kiss' chant. You don't have to get so mad about it. It doesn't mean anything.

Fly: ... (stops, turns around) That's exactly why I'm mad. It doesn't mean anything. Nothing ever means anything to you, does it?

Heath: Fly, what are you talking about?

Fly: Us, Heath! I'm talking about us! You left me. You broke up with me by e-mail. Do you even realize how humiliating that was?

Heath: ... I'm sorry. 

Fly: Yeah, I'm sure you are.

Heath: I really am sorry, Fly. I was just a stupid kid. But there's really no reason to be upset over it, when it's been 20 years.

Fly: ... Oh yes, there is. I actually loved you. You were my first kiss, Heath. My first love. And you have no idea how badly that messed me up.

[Fly tries to walk away, Heath stops her]

Heath: Wait! You think that didn't mess me up?

Fly: It certainly didn't. You were so casual about it. As if everyone dumps their first love via e-mail. You never really loved me.

Heath: Yes I did, Fly. Go look at the 15 women I dated, after breaking up with you. You'll notice a pattern. They all look like you, Fly. I was so messed up about us no longer living close to one another, that everytime I saw a girl who looked like you, I tried to date her. I tried so hard to replace you, and I failed.

Fly: I don't buy it. You never took it seriously.

Heath: You know what? You're right, I didn't take our relationship seriously. I admit it! Wanna know why? Because you're too perfect. You're too good to be true. I knew, deep down, that a girl like you would never settle for a goofy idiot like me. That's why I never took us seriously. It wasn't gonna last.

Fly: ... (starts crying) How could you possibly think that? If you knew how much I loved you, you'd never worry about me leaving you.

Heath: Well, surprise! You're not the only one with relationship insecurities.

Fly: If you felt like that, how come you never told me?

Heath: Because I was a stupid kid. I didn't know what to do. I dumped you, just so that I didn't get dumped myself.

Fly: I guess that's the difference between us, then... I would never dump you. And if you must know, I'm still not over you.

Heath: I'm not over you either, Fly! I still love you. More than I did back then, if that's even possible. Even Edge and Matt noticed it... Maybe we can try aga-

Fly: No. I could never be your girlfriend again, after what happened. In fact, I'm not even sure I can be with you every single day. I'm out.

[Fly starts walking away]

Heath: Where you going?

Fly: Back to Perth. Find a new coach, 'cause I'm definitely not gonna work with you.

[A heartbroken Heath stays there, watching her walking away]

Heath: (sheds a tear) I guess I was stupid to even think I had a chance.
