**NOT EDITED**

Chapter 23:

Kayla's POV

***

The tears spilled from my eyes just thinking about it. Thinking about letting him down and turning away.

"Jess, I don't know what to do." I sobbed to my friend Jessica.

She replied, "To me it sounds like you know exactly what to do. It's just the choice of if you want to or not. It's your life Kayla, don't you have something you want to do or be?"

I tried to wipe my tears without smearing my makeup, "Yes. A film editor. But-"

"Absolutely no buts. I love you guys and all, but you have a life to live. He can't take that away from you."

I guess it's final then, Jake's leaving and I'm staying. I'm going to miss him, I'm going to miss us. My eyes travel down to the necklace which will soon be the last thing I have left of Jake, but I know that can't last either. It's not right.

"I have to head out," Jess says grabbing her jacket, "Think about it, don't forget he leaves tomorrow night."

I hugged her goodbye and went back to my mopping self. I haven't seen Jake in the longest time. He's either in the studio, busy with getting ready for tour, or I can't find the confidence to actually face him and talk to him. Tomorrow night I have to say goodbye though.

My tears never stop and eventually I just cry myself to sleep. Sleep is away from the memories and all the pain. Away from any thoughts of Jake.

***

In the morning I go through all my dressers and closet finding any clothes of his and place them in a box. Except for my favorite hoodie of his with his last name on the back. It still has his scent on it and it might be the only thing keeping me semi sane.

Next I remove the necklace and place it in my pocket. I pull out my phone and call Jake. While it rings I try to think of the right words to say. My heart was beating a mile a minute and my palms got sweaty.

"Hey Parker what's up?" Edgar's voice said from Jake's phone.

"Hey Edgar, is Jake around?"

"Always for you babe." Jake's voice said.

He really was not helping me right now. I couldn't find it in myself to smile like I normally would. "Would you be able to talk? In person, alone."

"Sure, I'm on my way home so head to my house and I'll be there in a few. See ya later Kayla." He said before the line clicked dead.

I grabbed the box of clothes and started walking over to his house. Right away I ran into Jenny and she gave me a horrifying look. "Kayla that better be Jake's laundry."

"Don't make me cry yet Jenny." I said as she hugged me for a while. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. I wish it didn't have to be this way."

"Shhh, it's okay. Friends forever right?" She asked pulling back. I could see the glistening in her eyes that made me think she might cry, but I know Jenny, the tear won't fall from her eyes.

As for me, the tear already fell. "Friends? No, we're sisters."

She gave me a sad smile, "You should head up to his room before he gets home." I nodded my head and went up the stairs to his room. This will be the last time I stand in this room. Heck, maybe even in this house. I'm going to miss it that's for sure.

I placed the box down on his bed and wiped my tears as I rehearsed my speech in my head- yes I planned the whole thing out. My hand traced every last object in his room. On his desk sat a bag labeled "For my love, Kayla" But I didn't open it. I didn't even touch it.
