Marcel POV
Telling her was the hardest thing I could've ever done. I know that what I did was right, but deep inside my heart was aching. I knew it would be hard, but I love her and I know if you really do love the person you'd do anything to make them happy. Kassidy going to Berkeley made her happy, therefore it makes me twice as happy.
When I had her in my arms, I didn't want to let go. Her warm tears soaked up my shoulder slightly. I knew that when I do let go, she's not mine anymore. She isn't my girlfriend and I am not her boyfriend. But though I am not her boyfriend, it doesn't stop me loving her otherwise.
"So what are we going to do now?", she asked.
"Well we could go down stairs. They might be looking for us", I said and she nodded.
"Okay, what do we tell them?"
"Well, we could tell them the truth, I mean why not?"
"Yeah, I guess so. But, I will be visiting when you go to England. I saved money for a trip to England since I was like seven!"
"Okay, that sounds good. I'm putting this picture in my dorm and I'll read your letter in the plane."
"No, give me the letter back!", she whined
"You gave it to me!"
"Styles, give it to me now!", she bickered.
"Never!"
"Fine", she hissed and I chuckled.
She ran into the restroom to touch up and fix her makeup. When she got out, we went downstairs to see Jennifer and Harry sitting on the couch.
"Hey", Harry said.
"So you two?", Jennifer asked.
"No, we're just friends", I smiled, but truly I wasn't happy.
"Oh, okay", Harry said quietly realizing he should've never had said it.
"Don't be upset you said that, it's fine. It was a mutual decision", Kassidy smiled.
"Okay, we should socialize", Harry chuckled.
"Is that David?", Kassidy asked.
"Yeah", I said.
"You invited him?", Harry and I nodded.
"Yeah, well he was part of Knight high school so why not?"
"Natalie too?"
"Yeah, turns out she is dating David."
"How weird is that!", Kassidy said and Harry laughed.
Harry and I invited all the people we possibly can, and a lot of people turned up to be honest. It was a blast. David and Natalie then came up to our group.
"Hey", David and Natalie said.
"Hi", Kassidy said worriedly.
"Uh, I just want to say, sorry Kassidy for everything. I am so sorry I acted like a douche to you. Marcel, I am really really sorry too. I feel terrible calling you those things, I well deserved the punch that Harry gave me", David said.
"It's fine", Kassidy smiled and nodded.
"I'm sorry Marcel for being horrible to you as well. I do wish you luck on your trip to England though. It was lovely to see you at Knight", she smiled and I couldn't help but think if this was a dream.
"Thank you", I said and they both left.
"Did that actually just happen?", Jennifer laughed.
"I guess so!", Harry replied.
At the end of the party, everyone had left and It was just me, Kassidy, Harry, and my father. My father was pretty sad about us leaving but he met a lovely lady named Patricia. It was nine at night and Jennifer and Kassidy agreed it was time to go home.
Kassidy POV
I said my goodbye to Marcel's father and he thanked me for helping Marcel. I smiled and continued to walk outside with Marcel. Harry and Jennifer walked out to her car to leave us two alone.
"Hey, I guess this is it", I said,
"Yeah. We have to talk to each other everyday deal? I don't want my girl- I mean best friend to forget me."
"Okay, deal. Best friends, forever right? No matter what?", I asked choking on my tears.
"No matter what. I hope you continue wearing that", he smiled and twiddled around with my necklace.
"Don't worry", I smiled.
"I love you, best friend", he smiled.
"I love you too", I faked a smile knowing that I didn't want it to end this way.
"I don't want to say goodbye", I said and began to cry some more.
"Listen, we don't have to say goodbye. We can say see you later and hello to our future", his eyes became glossy.
"Okay, ehrm. See you later Marcel."
"See you later Kassidy."
I left walked outside of the door, feeling empty handed. I ran back to him and placed my lips against his and cupped his jawline with my hand. I jumped up as he caught me and I wrapped my legs around him slightly. I never knew he was so strong to carry me, but I continued to kiss him.
"I'm sorry", I said and flushed.
"I wanted to do the same thing, trust me."
I went down and walked towards the car, not looking back. I looked at Harry and gave him a tight hug.
"Bye Harry, I'll miss you so much!", I frowned and started to cry.
"Kass, don't cry! You'll make me cry", Harry laughed it off.
"I'm sorry. Make sure to take care of your brother for me okay?", he nodded.
"Of course. I'll facetime you when I get over there", he smiled.
"Deal."
I entered the car, not looking back at the Style's residency. I said my goodbyes to Jennifer and cried a lot more. I agreed that I would come visit her during winter break. I gave her a tight hug and went home,
broken-hearted.
