The next day, Jane informed me that my dad would come pick me up at the Amsterdam airport tomorrow at 3. That gives me today and half of tomorrow to brace myself for the goodbye. Why do I feel like my heart is being torn apart? Why does leaving this family (especially Jack) make me want to die rather than have to life without them? I've only known them for 4-ish months.
There's a knock at the door.
"Miley? Do you want to go on a walk?"
It's Jack.
"Yes. Yes I definitely do."
I grab my converse and put them on. Me and Jack walk around the little towns of Amsterdam for a few quiet moments.
"You excited to see your dad?" Jack asks me.
I look up at him. "Can we not talk about leaving? It will not end well."
"I don't want to leave you." I say a minute later.
I feel drop of water on my arm. Then another. Then another. I look up at the sky. It's raining. I laugh as the rain comes pouring down. Me and Jack look into each other's eyes.
Then Jack pulls me into an hug. We stand there hugging for minutes. In the pouring rain. He pulls away and grabs my hand. We hold hands as we walk back to the hotel, not saying s word to each other. Jack kisses my cheek when we walk up to the door of my room. I walk in and slide onto the floor. I can't decide if that amazing, beautiful moment in the rain was worth the pain. The pain of having to leave it all. I decide I should probably shower and change since I am soaking wet.
I grab a floral top and white lace shorts. Then I hop in the shower.
An hour later I walk out of my room after getting ready for the second time today. I don't know what else I'm going to do today, I can't just walk around bored on my last day with the Wood family.
I find Jennifer walking down the hall. "Miley! I was just coming to find you! Wanna watch a movie?" She gestures to the movie in her hand. It's The Fault In Our Stars.
I gasp. "Yes! I want to watch that so bad!"
We walk into the room with the tv. She puts the movie in and it starts playing.
About halfway through the movie, Jack walks in and wonders what we're watching. We tell him and he sits down by me.
I cry for the first time in the movie when Hazel says, "why are you staring at me?"
"Because your Beautiful." Augustus replies.
I can't even handle how cute that is. I wish I could have a love story like theirs...oh but not the part where one of them dies.
Jack slides his hand into mine, and I lay on his shoulder. We stay like that the whole movie, while I soak his shirt with my tears.
"I like my choices. I hope she likes hers." Is the quote that ends the movie, but is finished off by Hazel saying, "I do Augustus I do."
Me and Jennifer are a mess. With mascara all over our faces. And then there's Jack who is trying to awkwardly comfort us.
"Um maybe we should go do something that won't involve crying, okay?" Jack suggests.
"Okay." Me and Jennifer walk into the bathroom first, to clean up our faces.
When we walk out Jack is sitting on the couch again. "Any ideas?"
"Umm..." I don't really have any ideas.
"We could just sit outside and talk, it's almost dinner anyway." Jennifer asks.
