The Stars & Us

14. The End

Then suddenly I got text from her.

𝘑𝘢𝘬𝘦.

𝘏𝘢𝘻𝘦𝘭, 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶?

𝘊𝘢𝘯 𝘸𝘦 𝘮𝘦𝘦𝘵 𝘢𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘴𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘭?

𝘚𝘶𝘳𝘦.

Finally. I decided to tell her about my feelings today.

I have to end this. I texted Jake to meet him and the next is Ethan.

𝘌𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯.

𝘏𝘢𝘻𝘦𝘭 𝘸𝘩𝘺 𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘭? 𝘈𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘪𝘤𝘬?

𝘓𝘦𝘵'𝘴 𝘮𝘦𝘦𝘵 𝘵𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵.

𝘚𝘶𝘳𝘦.

Okay. Now is the right time and I'm sure this is the right thing to do. I get ready to meet Jake and Ethan today. But tears just falling down. I can't help myself but cry.

I grab a taxi and go to meet Jake. I have to prepared myself good. I saw him sitting there. Seeing his back, it hurt me again. I sit in front of him. He smile at me. I just stare at him.

"𝘏𝘢𝘻𝘦𝘭, 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨?"

"𝘐 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨."

"𝘔𝘦 𝘵𝘰𝘰. 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘮𝘦 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵."

"𝘑𝘢𝘬𝘦, 𝘐 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘨𝘰."

"𝘎𝘰? 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘥𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯? 𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦?"

"𝘌𝘶𝘳𝘰𝘱𝘦."

"𝘏𝘢𝘻𝘦𝘭, 𝘯𝘰."

"𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘬 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨."

"𝘏𝘢𝘻𝘦𝘭, 𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦."

He's crying. Seeing him crying for the first time because of me makes me feel sad.

"𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘺 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘑𝘢𝘬𝘦."

"𝘏𝘢𝘻𝘦𝘭, 𝘐'𝘮 𝘴𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘺 𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘮𝘦. 𝘐 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶. 𝘕𝘰𝘵 𝘏𝘢𝘯𝘢, 𝘐 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶."

"𝘐 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸. 𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘮𝘦 𝘑𝘢𝘬𝘦. 𝘉𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘐 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘥𝘰 𝘪𝘵 𝘵𝘰𝘰."

"𝘕𝘰 𝘏𝘢𝘻𝘦𝘭. 𝘗𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦. 𝘋𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘨𝘰. 𝘐 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘺."

"𝘕𝘰. 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘯'𝘵. 𝘕𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳."

He hold my hand so I cry too. Jake. It hurt seeing him like this. I'm sorry Jake.

After that I go to Ethan. We walk together.

"𝘌𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯."

"𝘠𝘦𝘴 𝘏𝘢𝘻𝘦𝘭."

"𝘐 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘨𝘰 𝘵𝘰 𝘌𝘶𝘳𝘰𝘱𝘦."

He seem shocked but try to hide it.

"𝘍𝘰𝘳 𝘴𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘭?"

"𝘠𝘦𝘴, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨."

"𝘞𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘣𝘦 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬?"

"𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸. 𝘍𝘰𝘳 𝘯𝘰𝘸, 𝘮𝘢𝘺𝘣𝘦 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘴. 𝘛𝘰 𝘴𝘦𝘦 𝘮𝘺 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵."

"𝘏𝘢𝘻𝘦𝘭, 𝘐 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘪𝘯 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘥𝘰."

"𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘬 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘌𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯."

He smiled at me but I can see his teary eyes.

I went back home and packed my things. Tomorrow I will go to Europe. In the morning.

I'm ready to live a new life there. No man, no love, no hurt again. I don't want it all again. All I want is just live in my own and be happy by myself. I know I can do it.

Europe, here I come. Please be nice to me. I'll do anything to be nice there too. Let me be happy for now. I just want that.

To Jake,
Thank you for being a part of my love life. You mean a lot for me. I don't know if I can forget you, but I hope you live a good life here and find new person. Thank you for everything you taught me. You teach me how to love someone, and it's amazing to be one. I love you.

To Ethan,
I know I'm not a good friend, but thank you for everything. You're such a nice person I don't want to be without. I hope you will be happy. I'm sorry for breaking your heart. I will miss you.

To myself Hazel,
You did great. Thank you for being brave. I'm sorry for making you feels hurt many times. This time I won't let you feel that again. Let's be happy together. I love you.
