Déjà Vu

twenty-three

They finally returned home safely after the long, exhausting, draining road trip. After the Blake incident, she hardly spoke. Adam was the one who started blabbering. Behati kept her eye on Gwen.

Well, they all didn't speak to each other after the trip because they knew a huge argument will only start.

" Thanks for driving, Adam. " that was all she said and he nodded.

They all headed out to their respective lives, Gwen's was being with her kids and maintaining everything. She was still thinking about what Ross said. She was the one for Blake not for Ross.

Ross planned on ending it today. After dinner in town.

She was silent, which was super unusual for her.

Adam decided to invite Blake over for a little chat. He said yes. He wanted to tell him about the song incident. And that he was sorry for it.

Meanwhile, Gwen started writing again. She wrote, My Heart Is Open. She thought that the song didn't entirely fit her until a tiny idea sparked into her mind.

" Hey. Can I tell you something. " she says with a straight face. it hasn't changed ever since.

" sure, come in. so what are we gonna talk about? " he welcomes her with his ever-charming smile.

" ugh, i kinda wrote this song and it's kinda special to me so I didn't scrap the material. but, can you put this in your album? you can take all the writing credits and all but please release the song. " she pleaded him but he nods away.

" I'll tell the guys maybe later. but im not promising you anything okay? " he warns her but anyways, she hugs him instead.

Each couple had finish dinner. Adam finally told Blake about the song and he was okay with it and now, he wanted to talk to her.

" Gwen, can we go for a walk? " a tiny spark of adrenaline rush pumped all through his body.

" sure. " sure was all he heard but it was enough.

their walk continued until the reach the park, they sat in the nearest bench they could see.

" Gwen, I'm sorry. " was all he said. he gave her his final kiss.

" what for? " she looks at him very curiously.

" for not being the perfect one for you. im saying goodbye for once, Gwen. I love you. I'm willing to kill anyone, anywhere and anytime just for you but it's not right, " he wanted to stop and just hold her for the last time. " it's just things aren't working out. you still love him. you can deny everything but i can clearly see it by the way you look at him when he talks, the way you laugh at his jokes. we can still be friends right? "

she never expected any tears when this day would come but she somehow loved him. " yeah, we can be friends. but, i want you to be my friend that will never ever abandon me. you promise? " she slowly wipes the tears staining her face.

" i will promise you that. thank you for the love. " he holds her hand for the last time.

" im sorry. but thank you. i love you too. i caused you way too much. "

" go, chase your star. chase him while he's still yours. i love you. "

all he saw was, her running back. running to the person that was originally meant for her.

you did the right thing. you did what you were supposed to do. it's time to find someone that would love me like the way I loved her. but no matter what, I will always love you, Gwen Renée Stefani.
