Rose: change of plans..

Rose: Macxim is coming here in LA..

《3:00pm》

I heard the doorbell ring. "Coming!" I yelled before closing my textbook and running to the front door.

"Hey Jewel," the boy said when I opened the door.

What...?

"Oh. Hey," I said.

"Can you come with me? I need to show you something," said Macxim.

I made a fist with my hands and looked at the ground.

Why should I come with you? Why should I go somewhere to the guy that broke my heart multiple times?

"Sure," I replied.

Then Macxim grabbed my wrist and we went into his car.

We drove for fifteen minutes until we spotted a tall building; the building owned by his older brother.

"Why are we at your brother's company building?" I asked him.

Macxim smiled, "You'll see."

We walked into the building and people threw balloons at us and screamed.

"Happy eighteenth birthday!" they screamed.

I looked around and saw all of my friends; Joshua, Angela, Cris, Olivia, Ara, Krystal, Marty and Rose.

I smiled at them and tears started rolling down from my eyes, "Thank you. You guys are awesome."

They all hugged me, "You're welcome."

Then they let go and looked at Macxim, then Macxim looked at me.

"Jewel," said Macxim.

No. No. Don't tell me you still love me. You broke my heart. I gave you many chances, but you threw all of them away. I did A LOT of thinking yesterday after I texted Rose last night and I decided that I should move on from you. For real.

Macxim held my hand, "Would you be my girlfriend? I know I made many mistakes, but know that I still love you more than anyone. You are more important than my family, to be honest. All these years that you've been gone, I felt uncompleted. Jewel,  I love you very much."

I took all my courage and smiled at him. "Macxim, I did love you very much. But not anymore. I am better without you. I felt so happy when I left you. I dropped all the pain you gave me and the memories we shared into the depths of hell. So no, I will not become your girlfriend."

Everyone in the room gasped; they were very surprised to what I said to Macxim.

Then Rose came to me and hugged my tightly, "That's my not-blood-related-sister for you."

I smiled at her and she smiled back. Then Macxim ran out of the building and we just celebrated my 18th birthday without him.

《3 hours later》

Rose sat beside me and looked at the night sky with me, "Are you sure you won't regret leaving him?"

I thought for a second, "Yeah, I'm sure I won't regret leaving him. I'm happier without him."

"Good," she smiled.

"Yup," I smiled back.

"Oh by the way, you're going to come with me to South Korea," she smirked. "I'm best friends with yoongi, one of the bts members."

My eyes widen, "WHAT REALLY? I'M A BIG FAN OF THEM!"

"YASSS SAME!" Rose smiled widely.

I smirked, "Is Suga you're best friend or boyfriend?"

Rose lightly hit my shoulder, "He is just my best friend."

"Alright, fine," I pouted.

"How are you and Joshua?" Rose asked.

"Well... We're getting quite close. I'm still kind of confused if I like him or not," I said. "Because a few years ago, I felt myself being attracted to him but I ignored those feelings because I still loved Macxim at that time."

"Oh, alright," she said.

Then we heard footsteps behind us and we looked back. It was Joshua.

Rose grinned and then left Joshua and I alone in the roof.

Joshua sat beside me, "I'm glad you finally decided to leave Macxim."

I looked at Joshua and then back at the sky, "Yeah."

Then I felt Joshua's held on top of mine. "You're finally mine," he said.

I blushed, "W-What?"

Joshua leaned in and kissed me and then my body moved by itself and kissed him back.

While we were kissing, I heard the fireworks explode in the sky. Then we parted, because we were out of breathe.

Do I still have feelings for Joshua? Why did I ignore my feelings for Joshua? Ugh, my mind was filled with thoughts of Macxim, that I didn't even notice that I started falling deeper and deeper in love with Joshua everyday...

Our, Joshua's and my, eyes sparkled in the night sky. We started at each other for a few seconds and then we laughed.

"You're so beautiful. Inside and out," Joshua winked.

I giggled, "Thank you, my lovely angel."

Joshua pouted, "Hey! You're my angel!"

"Fine," I laughed. "You're my prince. Wait scratch that. You're my king."

Joshua smiled brightly.

His smile. His smile gave me strength. Why did I just realized that now?

I couldn't resist it in anymore, so I kissed Joshua. At first Joshua was surprised, but then he kissed me back.

I love you, Joshua.
