The Grass Is Always Greener

Chapter 11 - Please, Stay.

Gillian's Point of view.

I sat trying to digest what Alex had just said. He couldn't leave. He can't. I cant live without him. And that's the most cliché thing ever but its true. Im so confused... just... What. Tears streamed down my cheeks.

He looked at me, brushing away a few of them, his own eyes filling with tears.

"No. Alex."

"Im so sorry. But maybe it would be better if we didn't see each other again... I think it would be easier for both of us if this was our last night together."

"No. Alex."

"Get out the car please."

"What's wrong? Have I done something wrong? Is there something wrong with me?"

"No of course not. I love you. So much.. I just don't want to make this any harder than it is already." He sighed, his voice cracking.

"Don't go then!" I replied

"I have to Gillian.. And im going to make this goodbye quick and sweet because this is killing me.."

"I love you.. Please don't leave me."

"I love you too. And if there was any way i could make this easier for you, I swear to god i would do it."

" please.. Alex" i sobbed.

"Im sorry. I hate to do this. Please remember that I love you. And I always will" he sighed.

He leaned forward and placed a light kiss on my lips, and I looked into his eyes for the last time.

"I love you too"

I stepped out of the car and stood on the pavement. He raked his hands through his brown hair, hints of pink still remaining in amongst the dark colour.

He then gulped, and drove away.

"No.. Alex... Don't leave me.... Please, Stay" I cried, to no one in particular.

He was well out of earshot, out of sight, out of my life.

I walked into my flat, shaking as sobs wracked my body. I sat on the sofa in the living room And stared into space, tears still streaming down my face.

Why did he leave me? Why didn't he stay?

Emma's Point of View

I watched as Hayley, Dougie, Heather, Phil, Rhona and PJ ran up the corridor to where i was sat on the floor with my back against the wall. Where are Gillian, Alex, Amy and Christian?

"Emma are you ok? Oh god whats happened?" Hayley asked as she got to me.

"Is Dan alright? Oh god....is he....dead?" Heather asked, sitting down next to me.

"No... He's... He's fine..." I stuttered back...

No thanks to me.

Everyone let out a sigh of relief.

"Oh... Still the same as we left him?" Phil asked.

"No.... Actually.... Hes Awake" i sighed

"WHAT!" Phil yelled, running down the corridor and into Dans Room.

Everyone else followed except Hayley.

"Why are you upset that Dan's awake?" She asked, sliding down the wall next to me.

"I... Im not."

"Dont lie Emma.. I know when you're sad. What happened?"

".. He... Its nothing... We just had a fight thats all.. I screwed up"
