Carmen's Pov."Carmen honey wake up"
What?
That sounds a hell lot like mom's voice.
I fluttered my eyes open to see her smiling at me.
"Hey"
I croaked.
I am not really a morning pereon afterall.
"Hurry up. Your dad and I are going to the embassy. You are the only one in the house."
What the hell?
I mean it's 7 for god sake. Where did they all run away?
Mom is still staring at me.
"Okay okay...I am getting up"
She kissed me on my forehead.
"Good..take care"
I heard her footsteps recede as I look around.
Where is he?
Practise? I shrugged to myself.
There is something different in the room that I can't pinpoint.Beep.
I turned looking at the note flashing on my screen. My hands suddenly felt numb.
Jake getting discharged today.
I had kept a reminder.
Shit.This is messed up.
I opened the door and ran inside my room.
No time for fancy crap. I grabbed a white shrug and denim shorts.Breakfast will have to wait.
I sprinted out calling for the driver.------------------------------------------------------I watched them laugh.
She was helping him pack while he signed all his papers.
He turned kissing her on the lips.
My gut sunk but only for a few moment.
Jake had found the girl he deserved a long time ago.
She was always there for him.
Both broken in some or the other way,finding refuge in each other's lips.
He still doesn't know about my memory loss.
He still thinks I walked away after the kiss because Romeo saw us and I felt bad.
He got this girl to show me he doesn't care. But sometimes you fall in love with the toy.
Sometimes when you play with love, it backfires.
She fell for him in his dark days and moods. Fell for his cold eyes and unchanging ways.
He fell too. For her innocence and the way she forgave him.
He is angry at me. Maybe it was better that way.
Carmen and Jake was never suppose to be a story.
His unknowing smile,troubled ways had once drawn me to him.
Not anymore.
I love him but I knew what kind of love it was.
Suddenly he looked up.
I backed away from the glass not sure whether he saw me.
Shaken, I walked my last walk on these corridors to the reception.The nurse looked up. She smiled. She knows.
"Who's ...you know..paying for him?"
Not his dad.
She nodded,her face grim.
"I don't know how will he get discharged. She paid 1/4 of the sum but that's it"
I nodded. He will go home free.
I had asked mom for a favour. She had agreed.
I handed the nurse a check.
"It will cover all his expenses"
Her eyes widened.
"Please don't tell him I came"
I turned to walk away.
"You know, miss. No wonder he fell in love with you before. You give everything you have. You don't take."
I didn't speak. Romeo's face flashed through my mind.
"Thank you"
I whispered walking out of the building never to come back.
-----------------------------------------------------
Our parents were in the kitchen when I came back.
He was sill not back.
I could feel the snow creeping up on my heart again.
"Um..Victoria..where is Romeo?"
She stopped talking and looked at my mom.
"Carmen, he is gone"
Blackness falling everywhere. Where have you gone?
I can't see the one I am searching for.
"Go...gone? What do you mean by that?"
"Honey he is leaving for spain today."
Wait but that was..
" He was supposed to leave on 6th?"
David spoke up.
"He wanted to leave early."
Suddenly it all made sense.
The countdown, his room was bare. I didn't notice that.
I could feel the tears coming.
I stormed out racing up the stairs and barged into his room.The one day left was cut. Our picture was gone.
His most of the stuff was gone.
"Thank you"
"....just in case I don't get to tell you"
Last night. The finality in his voice.
I sunk to his bed,the tears coming down now.
Should have told him,should have stopped him
The door opened.
I wiped my tears away and looked up to see Brooklyn standing there.
"He hasn't left yet. He might be in the school telling goodbyes"
I got up some new feeling coursing through me.
I wrapped.my arms around Brooklyn.
"Go..tell him what you wanna tell"
I nodded pulling away and ran downstairs.
------------------------------------------------------
It was not hard to spot him.
The girls were crowding him. He and Mike were kind of talking quite seriously when Mike saw me.He nudged Romeo and gestured towards me.
He turned and all hell broke loose in me.
The tears that I managed to keep check on the way now just brimmed over.
He walked slowly towards me,his face surprised.
He looked broken and defeated.
Lost somewhere trying to hold on.
"You left without telling me"
Why am I accusing him?
He looked down.
"If I did, I would not have been able to go"
Damn you Beckham.
You and your words stab me everytime.
"Why? Why th..'
"Where is Jake?"
He cut me off mid sentence.
Jake?
" He is with his girlfriend."
He looked at me bewildered.
"Then why are you here?"
What the fuck.
" I am not his girlfriend. Maybe that's why? or maybe because the guy who has haunted me ever since he entered my life was leaving without even uttering goodbye? Or maybe because I want to tell him that I am tired of this back and forth,of this madness between us"
I looked into his eyes willing him to answer.
" I am more tired than you Bennet..of watching you go,of letting you go, of falling in love with you over and over again.
And I left because Jake was getting discharged today and I...."
He stopped speaking.
"And I what??"
" and I knew it will kill me to watch you with him"There was not a sound to be heard except the guilt in my heart. I should have told him.
" the night you found me kissing Jake..well...after that I never met him"
I ended softly afraid to hit him.
Confusion dawned on his eyes.
"Then... then where did you use to go?"
This was the worst part.
" To a therapist...I wanted to remember everything before the accident."
He looked at me shocked and then angrily.
" The doctor said that could harm you Carmen"
He threw his hands up pissed off.
" I know... I asked mom....
I...I wanted to know how we where... I guess I wanted to know all that we shared. And now I do"
Those damn tears.
He turned his brown eyes torn. He was shaking.
Everyone was surrounding us.
" I guess we never change huh Bennet? Throwing our lives for the other!" He came closer cupping my face.
"No we don't. Not when you whisper at night while checking on me, not when you promised me that we will go to the falls together."
He laughed silently.
I breathe in and then quietly only for him to hear and to stay only in our world
I whispered," I love you Romeo Beckham"
He staggered back,thrown off. Then his fingers were on my face and our lips collided.
We tasted of bittersweet reunion,lost stories and broken pieces.
His hand pulled me closer pressing my body to his.
------------------------------------------------------
Romeo's pov.
I wished I could crash every piece of me into every piece of her.
She was everything that I dreamt of. She could crush me if she wanted to or she could make me the happiest guy.
She bit my lips teasingly. I smirked dipping my head and sucking her neck. She gasped."Okay guys get a room"
Mike called out.
She blushed pulling away.
I grabbed her and pulled her back.
"Wait"
" What?"
Okay dude come on" Carmen Bennet, I have loved you ever since you slept next to me in the nursey room,I have loved you through Spain,London ,L.A. and halfway across the world. I love the little things you do, the way you bite your lips when you are nervous,the way you steal my hoodies... I just...I just want you to be mine. Will you,Carmen? Will you keep my heart safe?"
She looked at me her doe eyes blinking rapidly.
God she is so fucking beautiful.
" Do I have a choice?"
I grinned.
"well..a) yes and b) a"
She laughed and then pressed her lips to mine.
"Both Beckham both"
I smiled picking her up.
Five years of waiting for her.
The smile on her face is worth it.
Suddenly she became serious.
" Your flight"
Mike guffawed as I kept her down.
"Um babe, I was never going early... I had to get away from you so I was planning on crashing over at Mike's place and watch you from a distance."
She looked relieved.
"Wait but..everyone knew about this?"
"Well..they kinda understood"
She didn't bother asking further more. I kissed her again,this time filled with crazy thoughts and the distance gone between us.
"I love you Carmen"
------------------------------------------------------
Jake's pov
The nurse walked in as I took a last glance of the room.
"Your fees are paid. Lucky ass."
What? I looked at her.
"Jen?"
She shrugged obviously surprised.
"Who did it? Just tell me"
" Well..the check says hyatt hotels"
Of course it does. Her parting gift. Kill
me with kindness
