Chapter 36

(Katie's POV)

"So you can just not talk to me for weeks on end, but then come back to tell me you're moving to a different country?" I ask Hayes annoyed, he sighs and nods.

"There is nothing for me here, I can't just stay here." He says shaking his head, I scoff and slap his arm.

"You've got me, you're just gonna leave your best friend and someone who is in love with you for a different country?" I ask getting angrier by every word he speaks.

"I'm sorry, but this will be a good thing for us. If I come back-" He says but I cut him off.

"If you come back? If! Are you serious? We've got a daughter for god sakes and you're just gonna up and leave to a different country." I say shaking my head, he looks down at his hands and looks back up at me.

"I don't want to do this I hope you know that, but it's best for all of us." He nods, I feel a tear slip from my eyes and he looks at me with sympathy, he stands up and walks towards me but I back up.

"No, if you show me any affection I will just cry more." I shake my head wiping the fallen tears.

"Katie, don't act like you can be strong, I know you can't." He says while I look down feeling the hot tears run down my cheeks, he pulls me into a hug and I cry into his chest, he rubs circles in my back while kissing my head.

"I'm not leaving for another month, we have until then." He tells me, I nod wiping the tears once again and pulling away from him.

"Why are you leaving? Be honest." I say shakily, he looks down at his feet and and looks back up to me.

"Because I know that I don't know how I feel about anything or you and I just need to figure out my feelings." He tells me, I nod slightly and look up at him.

"Why can't you stay with me and just figure out your feelings?" I ask him looking down.

"Because I can't say I'm in love with you right now, I'm sorry I wish I could say I'm in love with you but I just I'm sorry." He says shaking his head, I nod and walk into the living room, I open the front door and he follows me.

"Please just leave, I need to be alone." I tell him, he nods and starts to walk out of the door, he turns to me and kisses me.

"I love you." He whispers before leaving the house, I watch as he walks to his house and goes inside, I shut the door and walk upstairs to my room, I pull out the old box of Hayes' and I's memories, I sit down on my bed and open up the box, I see my bracelet and slip it on my wrist, I see a stack of photos and pick it up.

The first one is us in Walmart in New York, I remember this photo from a long time ago. I miss the times when everything was simple and we had no problems.

There was one I took with him laying across my bed in his underwear, I laugh because his face is pushed against the bed post.

I found one with all of us in it, I remember it was at the Magcon event, I was with Matthew, but Hayes and I were staring at each other happily.

There was loads of more pictures and souvenirs, but one thing at the bottom of the box caught my eye.

A ring.

I slip it on my finger figuring it was the one from when Hayes proposed to me, but how it got in my box I have no clue.
