Chapter 20


**Rena's POV**

Once we arrived back at our small home Pete turned to me "I'm going to forget about everything tonight, alright?" he notified me as he gave me a peck on my dry lips

I nodded my head slowly without saying a word, I just kept thinking about my final choice. should I really do it?

As hours passed I kept trying to think of ideas about how I was I going to do it and when. I went to bed early around 8pm and later on around 9pm Pete joined me. "are you actually asleep?" He chuckled as his hands played with my hair softly

I stirred my body to his "not yet" I mumbled while my sleepy eyes shifted up to his

Pete smiled "alright my love I'll let you sleep" He left a soft gentle kiss on my forehead before he turned his body around to turn off the lamp then he snuggled up beside me keeping me warm. My time was short I knew I only had about an hour or two before I could make my move. I waited and waited and waited until I heard the soft snore which escaped the guitarist soft lips.

I took a deep silent breath reassuring myself I would be okay. I cautiously scooted out of Pete's hold and slipped off our bed. I checked the alarm clock which rested upon the nightstand, it read '12am'. I sighed as I went over to the closet to pull out my suitcase so I could pack what I wanted. I packed all my favorite outfit, perfumes, and makeup. I then grabbed a picture of Pete and I off the wall. I smiled as I studied it remembering how happy we were. "I'm so sorry Pete" I whispered to the picture as a tear fell from my eye

After I changed into something warm and packed the last of my important things I made my way to the kitchen with a pen and paper in hand. I sat at the table and began to write my farewell note to Pete

'Dear Pete,

I apologize for everything that I have done. I am so happy and thankful that I was able to meet and even be with a guy like you. you taught me so many new things and you changed me. I don't know were I would've been without you. Now this is farewell but it is for a good cause, Roger and you are best friends and you two need I am not worth fighting over. You guys are a great band and you need to stay together. I love you Pete and I am doing this for not only yours but your bands own good. Goodbye and farewell, I will always be a bug fan of your band.

Sincerely, Rena Mae Lee'

I left the note on the table with a bright red rose from the vase and my old golden house key beside the paper. I locked the door slowly as I inhaled the air that surrounded me one last time. "good bye" I closed the door now ready to go on to start a new life far away from here.

**Pete's POV**

The sun's rays awoke me as they warmed my sleeping pale face. I tried to snuggle up beside Rena but I could feel nothing, I kept reaching her side searching for her warm body yet it was empty. I immediately shot opened my eyes as I frantically searched the covers for her "Rena?" I kept searching all around the bed but she was nowhere. I sprung up out of the bed  to look all around the house for her but still she was nowhere to be found. "Rena!!" I yelled out the front door. The car was still there but where was she?

My heart started to beat rapidly as I tried to calm myself by telling myself she was probably out getting groceries or something. I kept calming myself as I poured myself a freshly brewed coffee I made. "its okay Pete shes coming-" My eyes were attracted to the table. A bright red rose laid beside a small note. I set my coffee down slowly as my hands began to tremble. 'did she..?'

I picked up the note scanning each letter before I read it out loud to myself

"Sincerely, Rena Mae Lee?" My voice cracked in pain as tear trickled down my cheek "what have I done?" I questioned myself in confusion

I wiped my tear as I tried holding back others that had threatened to spill over but it was no use. Rena left me, she actually left me. Yesterday was crazy messed up day and she has gone through a lot and now I understood that, but why did she leave me? Then the answer hit me and when it did it suddenly made my heart sink. 'I never listened to her, that's what Roger was saying. I ignored him and never took it in because I was selfish. I  really had ruined her. "FUCK" I slammed the note down onto the table. More tears fell down my pale cheeks. "FUCK" I screamed out louder as I threw the rose across the floor. My soggy eyes noticed her golden house key "no for godsake, why Rena?!" I sobbed like had lost someone really special to me forever...I mean I basically did loose her, she was everything to me.

I curled up into the couch as let tears continue to fall. "im sorry" I kept crying to myself until I heard a soft knock at the door. I instantly jumped up and ran to the door "Rena?" I stopped and shut my mouth as Keith Moon stood there dumfounded.

I quickly wiped my tears and cleared my throat trying to act as normal as I could even though I knew it was to late. "Oh um hi Keith" I greeted in a depressing tone

Keith's eyebrows raised in curiosity as he observed me carefully "are you alright Pete? you look like you've been crying"

I tried so hard to make a last minute excuse but there was no way he would buy it "I-uh, um-"  Keith interrupted me "Where's Rena?"  'fuck' again the tears started up again

Keith's jaw fell "she left you?" he gasped in shock

I rolled my eyes  "yes Keith she left me" I snapped

Keith pulled me into a random tight hug "I am so sorry Pete" he apologized as he rubbed my back comfortingly

I pushed away with an annoyed look "Keith this isn't funny" I remarked

Keith nodded with his innocent eyes "I know Pete I am terribly sorry"

I shook my head changing the subject "What do you want, Keith"

Keith shrugged slightly "Kit wanted to talk to you about Roger or something I don't know"

"okay, Kit would call me right?" I continued to snap

"yeah he did but you didn't answer so he had me come over"  Keith responded rudely back "Kit seems really pissed"

"good for him" I sarcastically spoke as I slammed the door right into the young drummers face.

That was mean but I was going through so much I just couldn't handle it.
