This Is It

I'm so sorry guys, this chapter is a little shorter then my other ones. Whoop Whoop! Last chapter! Also the song above is called How long will I love you by Ellie Goulding. Hope you all enjoy it! Love you all!

I left without another word. It was already dark outside. I checked my phone to see that I had nine messages and calls from Kat. I didn't bother calling her or texting her back. I took a cab home. On the ride home, I thought about what had just happened. Everything went by so fast I didn't have enough time to process anything. I put my hands to me lips, remembering his kiss. I closed my eyes, replaying the memory over and over again in my head. But I opened my eyes again, remembering that I couldn't do that if I was to ever to get over him. I stared out the window. My head began to throb at the thought of leaving San Francisco. Leaving home. Leaving Noah, not being able to see my friends everyday. But I knew I would see him again, and my friends were still relatively close, and I would even see California again. But I couldn't help but think that I was leaving Isaac for good. I shook my head. I finally opened myself up, and the timing couldn't have been worse. But I was still glad I did.

I don't know how long it would take, but I would get over it. Over him. But now I knew, that I wanted love. And after I've moved on, I can do that. So even though part of me wished I never met him, so that I could've been spared so much pain. The other part of me was so happy that I did, because he opened me up to the possibility of love. I smiled at the thought.

"So Ithany really, really isn't happening?" Eve asked as she puffed out her lower lip.

"No Eve, it's not happening. And it never will."

Suddenly both Eve and Kat's hands were around me.

"I'm so sorry, sweetie. I know how much it hurts to finally open up and then for it to now work out," Kat said as she stroked my hair.

"It's fine. I'll get it over it."

"Beth, it's us, you don't have to act strong."

"You're right, this sucks." They both chuckled.

"But I promise, it'll get better. You'll move on eventually."

"Yeah, The 'wise one' knows. Pain has to come before the healing."

I sighed. "Yeah, I know."

Two months had gone by in a blink of an eye. This was it. I had graduated, I had even been the class Victorian. I said my goodbyes to people I would never see again, at least not for another ten years. Class of 2015 10 Year Reunion. I couldn't even imagine it. Where would I be in ten years? Summer had begun. I was soo happy. But this was also goodbye.

I spotted him standing to the side of the crowded hallway. He had on his black leather jacket, a white t-shirt and jeans. His hair looked like he had just rolled out of bed this morning . He was holding onto a duffel bag. He saw me from across the room and I increased my speed to meet him.

The minute I reached him he wrapped his arms around me. He let go, and smiled at me.

I needed to keep myself from crying. So I had to focus on all the fun he was going to have. And not on the fact on how much I was going to miss him. Our constant banter, talking with him, or just seeing him.

"So where are you going first? Australia? London? China?" He chuckled at me and shook his head.

"I'm heading to Paris first. And from there well, you know."

"Yeah, you'll see the world," I said with a laugh.

"So where's Holly and your mom? Or eve Chase for that matter? I thought they would be saying goodbye."
