37- Remorce.

Cole Sprouse

I sat down inside of the plain. Holding back my tears as I viewed Nova outside, screaming and crying as Evinor and Katherine held her down. I wasn't okay leaving, I just didn't want to. I knew how devastated she'd be for a long time. She'd most likely never get over me, and I'd never get over her.

"It's for the best Cole," Dylan patted my back, then started to take stupid pictures of himself on his new phone. He was wrong. I used to tell everyone how right they where about my life. But now, I didn't know how I felt.

"I can't do this," I tried standing up, but he pinned me back down. Giving me a serious expression, while I tried to let loose.

"Don't you dare try to leave. You've gone this far, there's no going back. You can't bail on your brother," He exclaimed, "I did that once to you when we where younger. And just like that. You where the only survivor. Please don't do it to me."

"It hurts Dylan. I love her! Have you ever been in love?" I groaned, and covered my eyes with my hand, "I can't just leave her like this. Do you know how much guilt I'll feel for the rest of my life?"

"I was in love with her once. At least I thought it was real," He sighed, and finally let go of me, "But just like everything I do. I screwed it up— by being a complete dick."

"I'm not trying to be a dick head brother or anything. But the point is, I need to stay here in New York. I want to marry her for Christ sakes. Why am I even in this plane?"

"Because you are a good guy. You never stop until you make everyone you love happy. If you didn't love me, you wouldn't be here right now. You're just too afraid to let down anyone," He told the truth. And it made complete sense, "I'm the only family you have left. And Nova, because I'm pretty sure you count her as family."

"You're right," My voice cracked, and I leaned my head against the window, "I'm weak. For once, I wish I didn't care so much about people. Like my feelings where just turned off."

"But that'll never happen. And that's okay," He sighed, "You won't give up on her. And I don't want to see you miserable for the rest of your life so go get her."

"I have a plan."

Nova Dillon

It's been an entire week. And I can still hear his voice, saying I'll be alright someday. And I will. I just needed time to refresh my mind, and meet new people. It was hard, but it was also possible.

I packed my bags. It was finally summer and I was ready to go back home to my mother and brother. Of course Arlington Hills would bring back memories I didn't necessarily want to remember. But I needed to see my family, and get over everything else.

"So this is it. I won't see you all summer," Evinor said from behind me, leaning against the opening of the door. "You know, I actually started to like you. I'm going to miss having you around."

"You can come with me. You told me your self, you family lives there. You lived there," I slightly smiled, "I don't know. Lately I've just been lonely, it would be nice if you came along."

"This is where I belong. As much I would like to come with you."

"Your choice, I'm leaving in an hour. So let me know," I sighed, and zipped up my light blue duffle bag, tucking my hair behind my ear and walking towards the door.
