We agreed that being separate was best. We both still had feelings for one another but to many things were getting in the way and we were both tired. We were tired of trying for our relationship.

I decided I would move back to Ireland to be with my family for a while, whereas Mark would stay here further persuing his career. The man had a lot more dedication than I.

The sun was creating a warm hue in the pale blue sky as I finished packing most of my things. The warm and inviting atmosphere created outside conflicted with the dark storm brewing inside my head, longing to wake up from the current nightmare my reality was.

Honestly the last thing I wanted to do was leave. I still am in love with Mark. That's why I'm leaving. I realised how much everything was stressing him out, and I thought it would be better to just give him some space. I was just praying this will not be the end of us.

I wanted to scream. I wanted to scream and cry and hold Sean in my arms. Apart of me wanted to keep him here, reguardless of his request of leaving. It hurt me when he said we should 'take a break' from our relationship. It hurt even more watching his belongings slowly make themselves into boxes.

He looked sad. There was no way he was sad about leaving me. Maybe it was leaving our apartment that we had spent months together in. He wasn't upset over me.

"Sean are you sure you want to do this?" I questioned him, praying to hear the answer I wanted.

"Yes Mark, there's no other way for us. This is how it has to be you know that," he responded. It smashed the already broken pieces of my heart to hear that.

"I love you, Sean. I love you to much to keep you here against your wishes. This is me, in a way, letting you go. I want you to know that I won't be stopping you from leaving, even though I desperately wish you to stay." He stayed silent.

That night was rough. We slept in the same bed but I felt so distant from him. You're helping him by leaving, Sean. This is what he wants, I reminded myself over and over again.

We woke up in each others arms. I guess it was habit at this point. We stayed like that for a while.

I had two hours until my plane would leave. I was going to start leaving, but everything within me was begging me to stay. I had to fight the urges to stay. He was more important than I.

One hour until my plane leaves. Me and Mark saying our final goodbyes.

"You'll call me, right?" Mark asks me. "You have my number. I don't care where you are, what time of day it is, or how we're feeling with each other at that moment. If you need anything Sean, call me."

"I will Mark. I promise," I responded. We exchanged one last hug. Our last hug.

"I love you Sean. If you need anything please call me. I wish you the best," Mark said, tears brimming his eyes. I had to look away. He was everything I have ever wanted and I am leaving him. No matter how much I cared for him, I still had to leave to benefit him.

"I love you too, Mark."

With that, he walked out of the door. I closed the door and let the biggest sob escape my lips. He really left. Every ounce of my body hurt from heartache. It felt like somebody dropped a heavy weight on my chest and refused to pick it up again. I was left there struggling alone. I would have to get used to being alone.

I walk over to the kitchen to grab a glass of water when my phone rings. I pick it up and try to hide the fact I've been crying when I answer. Immediately I hear sniffles coming from the other end of the line.

"Mark? I need you."

Jesus Christ this one made me emotional. I'm sorry I haven't been updating this story lately, I've kind of just been doing it when ambition strikes ya know? Hopefully this one isn't as bad as the last chapter. I'll see all you dudes later!!
