we're gonna make it through - a serge pizzorno fanfiction

chapter 9~

My heart sunk, she can't be being serious.
"What? But what about Serge and all my mates?"
I burst into tears and run out of the door, running as hard as I can, trying to catch Serge up. I finally see his skinny figure down the street, I run as fast as my legs could take me and shout,
"Serge!"
He turns round and says,
"Yeah?"
He notices me crying and his face drops,
"What's up love?"
He pulls me into his chest and I cry onto him,
"Can I come back to yours?"
I sniffle and he nods, holding my hand and taking me back to his.

We get into Serge's, he makes me a hot chocolate and sits me down on his bed.
"Now, love, tell me whats up?"
"W-w-we are m-moving back"
He face falls and he says,
"What?"
"We're moving back to Manchester"

Serge's Pov

She can't be, what will happen to us?
"You can't!"
I exclaim, she looks hurt,
"Sorry, love, I didn't mean to shout, I'm just upset, I don't want you to leave, I love you"
"I love you too"
"You can stay hear for the night if you want"
I offer and she nods, sniffling. I wrap her up in my arms and we fall asleep.

Annie's pov

Its the next day and Serge is walking me home,
"I'm gonna miss you so much, I'll never forget about you"
"What's going to happen to us, because I don't think I'll be able to cope not seeing you"
He frowns and looks down, I bring his chin up with my hand and say,
"I don't want to say this,"
I say with tears slowly beginning to roll down my face,
"But I don't think we should be together when I go back to Manchester"
"What? Why??"
He starts to cry, I wipe his tears away and say,
"Because it's gonna be hard for both of us and, I don't wanna put you through all of that hurt"
He looks at my and says,
"What? This is making it all better isn't it!"
It frown and his words and say,
"I'm really sorry"
I wrap my arms around his neck and go in to kiss him but he pushes me away and says,
"No, Annie"
He walks away slowly, both of us crying. I run all the way home and when I get there mum is stood outside packing boxes into the car.
"What up love?"
She asks, I wipe my eyes and say,
"I've just split up with my boyfriend, thanks to you!"
I push her and my dad out of the way and run up to my room. When I get there, I see my vinyl player is yet to be packed and I pull out the record Serge bought for me. I put it on and and lie on my bed, the words of 'cast no shadow' singing me to sleep and before I know it they're the last words I heard in Leicester.

When I wake up I'm in the car, guessing on the way back to Manchester. I look at the road signs we pass, and we're about 10 minutes away from home. All my memories come flooding back of mine and Serge's break up, tears begin to form in eyes but I wipe them away telling myself I will be strong.

When we get home I unpack all my stuff, I check my phone after not being on it for ages and I have a text notification, hoping it's serge I open it, but it's from tom,

Tom
Sorry to hear about you and serge, how come you didnt tell me you were moving back?

me
I'm really sorry, I only found out yesterday, send my love to Serge

Will do

It's about 5 o'clock so I walk down to sifters, famous for being in the music video of shakermaker by oasis. I scan through the records and find the Beatles album I've been looking for for ages, 'Rubber Soul'.

I get home and put it on my record player the songs are amazing, my favourite is 'In My Life'.
It makes me think of Serge, and how much I love him, but I suppose we weren't meant to be.
