It was Saturday and I quickly got up from bed at twelve in the afternoon. I needed the sleep, okay? I quickly got ready, wearing a blue summer dress and a denim jacket right on top. I wore some brown wedges and the silver necklace Marcel gave me to complete the outfit.
A couple of minutes after I got ready, Jennifer called to say that she was in front of my house. I quickly got into the car and took a few deep breaths. I had prepared what I was going to say to Marcel. Yes I want us to work out, but I am completely terrified about the road ahead of us. Maybe Berkeley has an abroad program I can go the next semester.
"You ready?", Jennifer asked as she stopped the car in front of the house of the Styles.
"More than ever", I said and adjusted my necklace hiding the clasp behind my neck.
"Wait, before I forget, I have a gift for you", I smiled and handed her one of the three bags I brought.
"You didn't have to get me anything!", she insisted.
"Well, this is just a big thank you for being the best friend I could've ever wished for."
Inside was a few makeup products that will only be available in the US and some sweaters from Urban Outfitters.
"Aw! Thank you so much! You're going to make me cry!", she said and laughed.
After that, we entered the house, still the same as I remembered it. I soon saw Harry coming towards us and Marcel catching a glimpse of me as he fixed the drinks.
"Hey! Long time no see. Thanks for coming", Harry said and gave me a huge hug.
"Aw, well I wouldn't miss this for the world! I am really going to miss you. Here I have a gift for you", I handed him a bag that had a letter along with a little journal with the beach on it.
"California will always be with you, even when you're across the pond", I laughed and held my tears back.
"I love you Kass!", he smiled.
"Love you too!", I said, "Excuse me for a moment."
I walked over to Marcel who was standing by the sodas. I looked at his eyes, his beautiful green eyes that I've missed.
"Hey", I said.
"H-hi", he stuttered.
"Ehrm, well I have something for you. I'm really going to miss you when you go to England", I said fighting the tears once again and handed him the present.
I gave him a huge letter, explaining my thoughts of him along with a picture frame of me and him sitting on the beach.
"I hope you like it, I know it's not much. I really missed you, Marcel. I'm sorry I may have over exaggerated with the whole school thing. I am more than happy that you're going to Oxford, that must be a dream come true. I know, I have probably wasted the last month that I have should've spent with you, being the most dramatic girl in the world. But the reason why I acted like what I did is because I loved you, and I still do. I love you with all my heart", I gave up and started to cry in front of everyone. I ran upstairs and Marcel followed right behind me.
"No, I completely understand why you acted like that, Kassidy, You don't need to apologize what so ever. I am the one who should be apologizing on what I have done, I know how angry you are with me and I know you probably don't want to be with someone who's not going to be by your side anymore. Maybe when our lives are put together and we are still in love with each other, we can try again. I love you so much, and when you love a person you have to do what's best for the person. Berkley is your dream school, I know how unhappy you'd be if you left that school. I have thought about this hard the past few weeks. I lived off the memories of you and created scenarios of you in my head. Though my heart is telling me that we can pull through, my mind is telling me to do what is right. And this is what's right, you and I should be friends. You and me both know this. We will always be the best of friends, forever and ever. "
"I love you so much Marcel. If this is what you want and it's what you think is for the better, I will respect that. But since the day we've broke up, I really missed you kissing me and holding me in your arms."
"I can still do that", he whispered in my ears and kissed me softly on the lips. The lips that I will miss. He gave me a tight hug, pulling me close to his chest.
"I need to give you something", he said and brought me into his room and brought a small box out of his desk drawer. His room was completely empty, all his books were packed, and his bed was gone.
"Open it", I slowly opened the box and saw his calculator he's loved since the day we've met.
"I want you to have that. I know it's not much, but that Calculator is basically my heart and I already gave you my heart, but this is a physical copy of it. Take care of it", he smiled and I began to cry again.
"Why are you crying?", he chuckled.
"You're making me emotional!"
"I'm sorry, come here", he pulled me in to his chest, feeling his pulse.
" It will take me a lot to get used to not calling you my girlfriend, but I'll get used to it."
"I love you, best friend."
"I love you more."
