Bad Boy's Cupid

Epilogue

Epilogue

"You can't do this to me Violet, please I love you."

He was crying now. God now I feel like such a horrible person.

Because its true. I was.

"Luc, please know that I'm doing this for you. Yes, you came, but I couldn't let you do this, I don't want you to be stupid enough to love me again."

His voice broke, "What are you talking about? What is this about Vi? Please tell me. Please, I can't lose you again. I love you so much. Please."

"I know," I sobbed, "And I love you too so so so much, but we can't do this. I'd rather be with him than lose you."

"Wh-what are you talking about? We can run away, we can go wherever we want, far away from him, from all of this. Please just don't leave me. You can't leave."

The truth is, Lucas did come to my rescue, he got there just in time before we sealed the wedding with a kiss. He was there, all sweaty and heavy breathing, hands on his knees looking like he was lost.

But before Antonio's men escorted him to leave, I yelled at them not to, I told them I'd talk to Lucas. And here we are.

"I can't tell you, but know this: I love you. I will always love you. Even if we're a thousand worlds apart, even if you fall in love with someone else. I will always, truly completely love you." (this line is from the book: Love, Rosie)

He was crying now, "Violet, don't please don't. We still have time, we can run away."

"Lucas, love. Listen to me, we can't do this. I'm doing this for you. All I'm asking for you is that you should move on, go look for a girl that will love you more than I have. A girl as stubborn as I was. And then, when you're ready, marry her. Never let her go. Make her your forever."

"You're the only girl that I love Violet. You're my only forever."

I shook my head, caressing his face, I slightly closed my eyes, I was memorizing this moment. This last moment that I would ever get to hold him like this, the last time I would ever feel his warmth. I leaned my forehead against his, our nose touching as well.

I wanted to kiss him so badly. One last time.

And so I did.

I kissed him with everything I had.

I kissed him as if this was the last moment we would ever have together. As if it was just us against the world.

And in that perfect moment, it seemed like it was.

Because after this. I would have to let him go, I would have to imagine him love another girl other than me. I would have to accept the fact that I would never feel his love again.

I kissed him until we both couldn't breath.

"I love you."

He smiled, his charming smile that made me melt. "I won't let you go Violet. I'll find a way to get you. I'll find a way to find you wherever you are. I will. I love you so much."

I shook my head, "Love, you can't. Okay? You need to move on. You have to let go of me you deserve so much better Luc."

"I- I-"

"Promise me. Please. Promise me you'd let me go. Promise me you'd try to at least love someone else."

He looked intently in my eyes, my heart clenched at just the idea of Lucas loving someone else. But I have to accept it. Because maybe, maybe we were meant to be together, in some other time or place or world. I just know that we are meant to be together, but we weren't meant to last.

Because I know that everything happens for a reason. And if someday, we would meet again, then maybe, just maybe. We could have another chance at love. And this time, I will fight for him.

But as for now. I can't fight for him. I want to. But I can't. Because I don't know how.

He sighed, kissing my nose, "I promise."

"Tell my family I love them. Apologize to my friends for me. I promise, I'll find a way to see all of you. But not soon. Someday maybe."

"You will always be my Cupid."

"And you will always be my Bad Boy."

"This isn't goodbye Violet."

His words were firm and certain, but I can't promise anything to him. "Bye Lucas."

And then, I turned around, I walked away, and I willed myself not to look back. Even if I wanted to.

Even if all I ever wanted to do was run right back to his arms and tell him how much I love him.

I walked slowly, and then I turned around one last time, to see Lucas kneeling on the ground, crying. His head was down, and tears were falling non-stop.

I ran back to him, and I hugged him as tight as I could. And he hugged me back. He hugged my so tight I almost couldn't breath. We were both crying on the floor.

"I love you Lucas, I love you so much."

"I love you Violet."

And for a few moments we were just there, crying our hearts out.

And then, I finally took the courage to get up and leave.

Don't look back. I told myself.

Don't look back Violet.

This was the end.

I was never going to see him again.

I'm going to have to let him go.

But this surely wasn't goodbye. Not even close.

And its over! I'm sorry for the horrible ending guys. Don't hate me.

-love always,

Leslie.
