Why She Stayed (xxxtentacion)

X.65

- short chapter ahead-

"You'll do the film then?" Mr. Hasakwa asks.

"What is it about?" I ask.

"I'll send you the script." He tells me. "But I really hope you'll consider it."

I was conflicted, not sure if I was ready to move on this ahead in my career but a part of me still held onto this hope that maybe someday our paths would cross again.

I place the phone back into my lap staring at my screen when all of a sudden my phone rang again. "Hello?" I mutter.

"Flor?!" A familiar voice says.

I scoot in my seat holding the phone firm against my ear. "Who is it?" I ask.

He sounds worried. "Is he with you? It's me Rocky, is X with you?" My heart races.

Why would he???

"No." I mumble confused.

I hear him groan. "I can't do this anymore Flor." Rocky says. "All he's doing is getting into trouble or looking for trouble...he's back in Florida you sure you haven't seen him?"

"Eh?" I shoot up from my seat.

He was back.

"He came back?" I ask.

I felt my heart flutter in response, he came back. He was here in the same place as me.

I reached for the necklace searching for that familiar shape when I suddenly realized it was gone. The pearl now hanged from my neck, the pearl necklace Scar had given me.

"Flor? Can you?" Rocky asks pulling me from my thoughts.

I gaze at the reflection in the mirror, staring at myself. "Can you find him for me?" He asks again.

There was that pain again, that huge hole in my chest was making it's presence known once more. "I can't." I whisper.

My thoughts pulling me towards Scar, it would be like betraying him if I went looking for X. "But-"

"I'm sorry I can't." I whisper hanging up the phone instead.

Only when I sat back into my seat did I fully realize what I had said, something a few months ago would have never left my lips.
