Never Been One For Goodbyes - A Josh Cuthbert/UnionJ fanfic

chapter 8

The next morning I was woken early by the sun pouring into my room through the large window. I lazily rolled out of bed and slumped down the hallway to the kitchen. Jaymi was sat at the table cradling a mug in his hands.

"morning!" I smiled awkwardly. Things with Jaymi and I had been rocky since I spent the day with Lula instead of the boys. He turned to look at me but stayed silent as his head bowed back down and he continued drinking his tea, I cautiously took a seat next to him, "look Jaymi I really am sorry about the other day."

He looked up at me and stayed silent.

"Lula was a mess, I didn't know what else to do! I wasn't about to leave her in a bawling mess on her bedroom floor!"

"I never said you should have." Jaymi replied, "but you could have called or texted so that we weren't waiting around like idiots all day."

"I know mate, I'm sorry."

"Just don't make promises you can't keep ok?"

"deal." I smiled, "we cool?"

Jaymi nodded. phew.

once the other boys had woken up we all headed down to the beach. we lay down our towels and I sat with JJ whilst the others ran into the sea.

"I can't believe this is our last day here!" JJ said.

"I know it's crazy right!" I replied, "I'm excited to get back into it though!"

"does Lula know?"

"Know what?"

"That we're going home tomorrow?"

I didn't reply. I knew it was wrong that I hadn't told Lula I was leaving, but I couldn't bear the idea of it, the simple thought of leaving her behind made me feel sick.

"JOSH! you have to tell her!"

"I know but I can't!" I replied desperately. Truth be told I had really fallen for Lula, and I think the feeling was mutual, I couldn't stand the thought of saying goodbye to her.

"You don't have a choice mate!" JJ exclaimed, "what's the problem?"

The problem was simply that I hated saying goodbye to people. I hated the gut wrenching feeling of saying those words that may possibly be the last words you speak to someone. When you see the first tears trickle down their cheeks and you know that this is how they will ultimately remember you, leaving them heartbroken. You walk away, knowing that you can't look back because more and more of you will break away inside.

"I've never been one for goodbyes." I replied simply.
