3 years later:

Life before was sad, lonely and not worth it.
I was constantly thinking about my death parents and my precious already passed-away grandmother.
My days were empty and my heart was wrecked because of an old-crush, Aiden.
Everything seemed like crazy to me... until he, Lucas, appeared in my life.
I still remember when we first meet, he ignored me totally and since then we started to discuss.
But apart from his stressing-out-sarcastic-way-of-talking, he was the one who was always beside me, holding me tight, healing my broken pieces little by little.
And I'm grateful for that.
After the horrible and awkward date with my supposed-crush Aiden, I felt relief because that way I instantly knew that my heart was free, and it could fall for someone again.
So, he peered all soaked by the rain and he kissed me.
I've always wished that my first kiss was with Aiden, but in that moment, I regretted those wishes.
Destiny stole every single thing I care from me.
But I'm going to make sure it won't take him away, never ever.
Today is our third-year anniversary.

As we laugh together sitting in a wooden bench, I still can't believe that we've been together this long.

"Lea..." he takes my hand.

"Yes?" I look at his blue eyes.

Gosh, I love him.

"I've received a letter from an university." He declares.

I frown.

"From Canada's, right?"

We decided to go to the same university.

"No. It-it is from New York's." He glances away.

I don't know what to say or how to react.
He promised he wouldn't leave me.
I thought we had a future.

"You're moving there, right?" I mumble.

"It's a great opportunity... but you're greater."

"Don't say that, it's amazing Lucas, go ahead, I'll be fine."

"You always say that." He looks mad.

"Why are YOU mad at me? You are the one who's leaving me."

"I'm mad because If you say: please, don't go, I won't."

I roll my eyes.

"I don't want to be an obstacle in your life."

"Just say what you really feel Lea." He yells.

I whisper.

"I'm... I'm just tired. I'm going home" I say as I stand up.

"This is your problem!" I hear from the back.

I turn around, madly.

"What Lucas, what is my fucking problem?!" I shout.

"You can't express what you feel just because you're too proud of yourself." he lowers his voice.

"You want me to beg you to stay with me? 'Cause I won't. It's your life Lucas, do whatever you want!" I sense a horrible pain all over my body.

Why is it always like this?
Why we have to fight?

I observe that he walks towards me, frowning.
He's very close to me, but he stops.

"I will." he whispers.

While he walks away, I notice how slowly my heart turns black. I'm alone.
Again.
