Authors Note:: Gahh I'm so sorry guys. IT'S BEEN FOREVER!!! I am truly sorry. To each and every one of you. Lel. I'm back. Dun dun dunn Haha. Okay enjoy!!!
I stand in my room and pack for Florida. Blake and I are going to spend the week there in Aunt Mona's condo. Before I have to leave for California... I'm gonna hurt badly but I'm pushing those feelings away for the time being. This is supposed to be mine and Blake's time.
I manage to stuff what seems like my entire closet into my suitcase and head out of my room greeted by Blake's warm smile. The smile I love.
"You almost ready?" He embraces my body in his warm, lean body.
"Yeah. I'm ready."
***
We load our bags in the car as I can't help but to think about California again. My chest tightens as I belt myself into the car as Blake's starts it. Why me? Why does this has to happen to me?
Blake notices my uneasiness as he gently grabs my hand and reassures me.
"Aria, it'll be okay. Whatever you're stressing over. I'm here."
Yeah not for long...
He start the road trip as I, trying to take my mind off of things, turn the radio on. Suprisingly, something good was on. I turn it up louder as I sing to the lyrics.
Remember the moment, you left me alone and, broke every promise you ever made. I was an ocean, lost in the open, nothing could take the pain away. So you can throw me to the wolves tomorrow I will come back leader of the whole pack beat me black and blue, every would will shake me every scar will build my thro-oh-oh-oh-ne. The sticks and the stones and, you used to throw hands, build me and empire so don't even try. To cry my a river, cause I'll forgive yah, you are the reason I still fight. So you can throw me to the wolves, tomorrow I will come back leader of the whole pack beat me black and blue, every wound will shake me every scar will build my throne. I'll leave you choking on every word you left unspoken, rebuild all that you've broken, and now you know. I'll leave you choking on every word you've left unspoken, rebuild all that you've broken, and now you know. Every wound will shake me every scar will build my throne.
Blake glances at me and smiles. I smirk.
"What?!"
"It's just... I love you."
"I love you too."
***
We pull into the condo as he picks me up from the car and carries me bridal style into the house.
"Blake!" I giggle.
"This is gonna be the best weekend of your life."
He lays me down on the bed as he seductively crawls on top of me.
"How so?" I smirk.
He kisses the side of my neck as he straddles my arms.
"You're all mine. I can do anything."
He nibbles my neck as I let a faint moan out. He chuckles.
"That's it for now." He stands up and leaves me there panting. I stare up at the ceiling. God I'm gonna miss him. A pang of guilt rises over me coursing through my body. My heart takes leaps. I'm being so naive. Blake and I won't be able to be together when I move. Why am I so afraid? Why can't I just let him go?
"Aria I'm headed to the store do you need anything?"
"Umm... no." He walks out of the condo as a tear rolls down my cheek. I'm supposed to be enjoying this.

Blake and I sit at the table in silence eating grilled pasta. I stick my fork around for a while not being able to eat. I should be happy. I'm with the man I love. I glance at him as he stuffs his face with the delicacy.
"Blake?" I ask hoarsely.
He takes a break from eating and looks at me.
"Yes?"
"What's gonna happen?"
He looks away strengthening his jaw.
"With?"
"When I move..." I say staring at his profile infulgently.
He ignores me. "Blake?"
He returns his attention to me but greets me with a cold, icy glare.
"What am I supposed to say, Aria? That I'm gonna miss you. Or that I'm gonna grieve from losing you? Or that there's a possibility of me falling apart without you? None of that changes the reality. Letting go is sometimes the only option. And frankly it's being chose for us." Blake slams his fork down on the table.
"I'll be back." He walks out the door as I follow him.
"You can't run away from all your problems Blake! It's not that easy. You might not care but I do!" Tears start rolling down my face as I glare at his ignorance. He opens the car door and looks at me one last time.
"I can't change the fact... that you're leaving. And I don't want to lose you. But I have no choice." He cranks the car up and speeds out the driveway leaving me there. Tears start falling as I can't help myself but to just entirely break down. I feel my cellphone vibrate hoping it's Blake I pick up without checking the caller ID.
"Aria?" My skin aches as I sniffle.
"What's wrong? I know where the condo is I'm on my way." He hangs up as I walk to the front porch and pack my things with tears steadily falling.
I dial Blake's number as I hear his cell ring loudly from the bedroom. I walk in and let it go to voicemail as I record my message.
"If you're listening that's good. If you're not that's fine too. Blake I just want you to know that... that you're right. We can't change what is chosen for us. I was always told that... that I shouldn't give my heart entirely to a guy. But I did. Ever since the day that you're stupid ass... burned your hand, to the time you got beat up for me, Blake, I loved you. I will never forget you. But I don't want you strung over me. I want you to move on. I love you."
I end the voice message and hear a loud car horn blow outside. I grab my bag. So much for spending time with Blake... Levi grabs my bag as I sit in the passenger seat and buckle up.
"Thanks Levi."
"It's fine."
AN- I KNOW IT'S SHORT BUT HEY I FINALLY UPDATED... HAHA. PEACE.
