"Mia's POV*

"Hey ethan" i said
"Hey mia"
"So, your leaving in 3 days?" I asked sitting on his bed
"Yeah, im kinda happy to be leaving though" he said with a raspy voice.

That was a major turn on.

"Jocelyn wanted me to tell you something."
"Okay, what is it?" He said

"She said you ruined her life"

A shot of guilt ran through me. I liked Ethan but i can't do this to my sister. I regretted what i had just said.

"What?!" He shot right up

"Umm yeah" ugh i cant believe i did this

"Can you tell her to come?"

"No! I mean... She left? I mean left." I said

"What?? No i need to see her before she leaves" his eyes got watery

"I-i dont know.. " i felt like crying at the moment

"Bring my mom in here please" he said

"O-okay" i said and ran to get his mom
~
"Ethan needs you" i said once i found her

"Is everything okay?" She said

"Uhh yeah he just needs to talk to you"

"Oh. Okay" she said and walked to his room

*Ethan's POV*

"Ethan, are you alright?" Said my mom

"Did jocelyn leave?" I said

"Yeah, she just left 5 minutes ago"

"No! Mom, i had a bad dream about her but i know its not true. Pleaseee i need to leave today!"

"Okay ill go talk to the doctor"

"Ugh i can't believe this" i told Mia

"Ethan, we can tell Jocelyn to come back" mia said

"WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?! CALL HER" i said

"Okay!" And she pulled out her phone

I really need her right now.

10 minutes later she walked in.

"Ethan, whats wrong?" Said jocelyn

"I need you to stay. Dont leave tomorrow" i said

We were the only ones in the room. But it felt like we were the only people in the world.

"Ethan, i can't, i have to go, i have no other choice"

"I can leave today & we can be together"

I admit it, im love sick.

"No, you need to recover from your memory" she said

"So, is this how it's gonna end? Going our separate ways? I remember everything about you. You started off with a crush on me. You fought for me. I saved you from being sold. I almost lost you. I'm not ready to leave you. You mean the world to me and now your letting me go? I love you, okay? I planned on getting married with you, having kids, growing old. And now, i'm losing you." I said

By the time, we were in tears. This can't be happening. I'm losing everything.
Do you know how it feels when everything feels wrong?
Like every planet in the solar system has disappeared?

"Ethan.... I'm sorry but this is how it has to be. I'll be here in 2 years"  she said

"2 years!! I can be dead by that time" i said

Just then, her dad walked in.

"Joccy? Joccy, we need to get going its 8:19 and you need to finish packing and saying your goodbyes" he said

"Ethan.... I'm sorry"

Then my mom walked in.

"The doctors said you can leave today"

"Awesome...." I said sarcatically, "it doesn't even matter, i wanna go home"

She knew what was going on by looking at my eyes.

"Okay, lets get going, i have some clothes you can change into." She said handing me clothes.

I got up and headed to the door.

I passed by Jocelyn, and i didn't even look at her.  I can't look at the person that ended my life.

"Ethan..." I heard her say but i kept walking.

I can't believe it's ending like this.
