"Is he there?" Noah asked Audrey
"yes Noah, look at him, he looks terrible"
"I can't, ugh i think I'm gonna have to go to another school"
"are you out of your mind?! Jesus Christ, come with me" she said grabbing his arm
"Audrey what- noo"
"Noah" Gustavo said and Audrey leave them alone, Noah didn't say a word
"why are you ignoring me? we just kissed, look I'm sorry I promise I would never do that again, just please talk to me" Gustavo said, his voice was breaking, he tried no to cry but it was impossible, he really loves Noah
"no, please don't cry" Noah said touching Gustavo's face
" don't ever do that again"
"I'm sorry, I ju- I'm really sorry" Noah could't stand seeing him like that, all he wanted was to protect him, but here he is, suffering because of him,
When both of them were calm, Noah tried to explain himself, of course he wasn't going to say they truth.
"I just needed time, and I thought you were just being nice because of what happened to me"
"Noah, I truly care about you, I wan you to be happy"
"And I want the same for you...with Brooke"
"I'm not with Brooke, and she's going to NY"
"you should go, don't think I don't know about that scholarship of yours"
"I can't go, not until you and I clear thing out"
"we are doing it, right now"
"no, you're just explaining me why you were so cold this month, but you haven't tell me what I want to hear"
"what do you want to hear?"
"your feeling... towards me"
" Gustavo... you know I can't be with you"
"Tell me one reason why we cannot be together"
"I... Gustavo you know it's not right, you were with Brooke, and i was with ... Zoe" talking about her still hurts
"Just give me a chance" he said grabbing Noah's hand, he missed touching him
"I'm sorry, you need to go to New York, and I need to stay here, it's my way of dealing with all this. Please don't waist this opportunity"
"I'm going to New York, but I wish you can come with me"
"I gotta go now, Gustavo promise me you will be the best on your class"
"I'll try" he said smiling
Noah got up but Gustavo stopped him
"Please let me go with something beautiful"
"Okay" Noah said and lean a kiss, a sweet one so that both of them would forget that this moment was a break up of a nonexistence relationship
"I love you" was his way of saying goodbye
It's been two weeks, today Gustavo is leaving, Noah still can't deal with it but he has to, he's the one who told him to go, Noah got a text; it was Gustavo he said he left a gift for Noah.
He went to Gustavo's house, but he wasn't there
"He just left, to the bus station, then he would get on a plain, something like that son" Gustavo's mom was saying
"Did he left something for me?" He asked
"Oh yeah, Ahora que recuerdo, he left a draw for you, you can go upstairs "
"Thank you" he went upstairs, the in Gustavo's room was almost empty, he already sent everything to NY, there was a picture, a draw on the desk with a beautiful quote
"Only time can heal his heart, I wish he could know that healing yourself is connecting with others."
Noah went looking for him, at the bus station, he was with his favorite sweater, getting in the bus
"Gustavo!" Noah yells
"Gustavo wait!!" he yelled again
"Noah?" He was so confused
"hey buddy" Noah said
"whoa- what are you doing here?" Gustavo asked with a huge smile
"I'm such a fool, I love you Gustavo, and being away from you is not going to change that,I know that now, so ... do you still want me to go ?"
"hell yeah" Gustavo said kissing him right in front of everybody
"We're going to NY i can't believe it"
"hey we can even write a book about us"
"I have a better idea, a comic, about what happened in this freaking town"
"I love you" Gustavo said kissing him again, who can blame him.
