Free Falling {Gus De St Jeor FanFic} (#Wattys2016)

Chapter Sixteen

I'm looking right in your eyes, and I know that you're lying when you say that you're mine and there's nobody else. But even when we fight, I can't stop from loving you. I know we can't be friends, I guess this is how it ends
(A/N: Repeating Days on repeat for this!!)

Makenna's POV:

I look at the boy, who's heart was broken. His eyes were filling up with tears and he looked like his heart had been completely shattered, which it had been. Gus' eyes searched my face to see if I was joking. To see if there was any chance that I was going to laugh and be able to see past his mistake. He wanted to see if I would forgive him this time.

"M-M, I-I know you don't mean that," Gus is able to stutter out.

"Don't mean it?! Don't mean it?! Gus, you cheated on me after you said that you loved me! How could I possibly not mean that we are over?! You ruined your chances with me, Gus. You had something that you wanted, but you had to go and make things complicated. I loved you! I gave you my all, and all I got was the pain and the torture of being in love. You got the happiness. . . I got the heartbreak." I spout off at him.

Gus looks at me and then he looks at Krystal, who is climbing into a car. He looks down at his feet for a few moments before I shake my head, "This is all too much for me. Gus, I hope you are happy. I loved you so much. . . You moved on. Go ahead and go after the girl you always wanted and loved. I won't be hurt. I just want you. . . Happy."

Riker looks down at me as I pass him by. Ross and Rocky both at me. Ross reaches his hand out to touch my shoulder, but he retracts it. Rydel supports her left arm by her right. She looks at me before she shakes her head. I shrug my shoulders as I make my way towards the beach. Right now all I need is time alone and time to think over what my plan is going to be. I hear a car door open and then slam shut. I know that if I turn around, Gus and Krystal will be kissing and I would be broken. After a moment, my curiosity gets the best of me. I turn around and see Gus opening a case. His back is facing me,the muscles on his becoming visible.

"Makenna, Ross and I will take you home if you want," Courtney offers.

I share a soft smile with her," Thanks Court. I'm good. I just need sometime alone."

She nods as I continue down the beach. I dig my headphones out of my pocket, shoving the jack into my phone. I quickly push the ear buds into ears, letting the music flood into my mind. The first song that comes on is Break Up In A Small Town by Sam Hunt. I let the words burn into my mind.

I never understood why people wrote breakup songs. I always thought it was to get back at the one they loved the most. I never thought that it actually helped you cope and feel better. It makes the artist connect to their fans. They warn them about the pains and the perks of falling in love. I never looked at any break up songs like this before. . . At least not until now.

I keep walking down the beach, looking back every few seconds to make sure that Gus wasn't following me. Luckily for me, the only thing that is following me is the tide. I make it to a clearing between a few big boulders and there doesn't seem to be anyone near the area. I sit down on a smaller rock and look out at the water.

"I'm looking right in your eyes, and I know that you're lying when you say that you're mine and there's nobody else. But even when we fight, I can't stop from loving you. I know we can't be friends, I guess this is how it ends." I softly sing.

Gus' POV:

"You broke her! Could you not see that?!" Ross screams at me.

I look down at my guitar, tears slipping down my face. I should have gone after her. I should have begged her to stay. She means the world to me and I screwed it all up. She left me standing here, watching her walk away. I should have told her everything. I should have went after her.
