chapter twenty ; too late

I strum my guitar.

“Say you’re sorry, that face of an angel comes out just when you need it to. As I paced back and forth all this time 'cause I honestly believed in you. Holding on, the days drag on. Stupid girl, I should’ve known, I should’ve known.”

I shut my eyes close, feeling it. Hey! It’s our new theme song!

“That I’m not a princess, this ain’t a fairytale. I’m not the one you’ll sweep off her feet, lead her up the stairwell. This ain’t Hollywood, this is a small town. I was a dreamer before you went and let me down. Now it’s too late for you and your white horse to come around…”

I finished it up. “This is gonna be my last video in this house for a while… Thanks for watching. I love you all!” My voice cracks. I’m so close to crying. “Bye.”

I shut the camera off then I burst out crying.

You need to get over him, Aut. Everything’s gonna be okay.

I can’t believe this is happening. One moment we were perfect and the next thing I know, everything’s shattered.

♡

I read the text over and over again.

Zach <3 : Autumn, I’m so sorry. I’m going to your house, please let me explain. I love you so much…

I scoff and turned my phone off.

“He texted me too…” Summer tells me as she hands me her phone.

Graser / Zach : Is Autumn okay? I’m coming over.

Me : Lmao asshole. Too late. Fuck off already.

I gave it back. “You had to say it.” I roll my eyes.

We hear our flight get called in and then we left Canada.

♡

When we landed in Seattle, I turned my phone on again. Bad idea.

Zach <3 : Where are you?

Zach <3 : Babe? I’m gonna explain everything, please.

Zach <3 : I love you.

Zach <3 : Tell me where you are, I’ll be there.

I replied to him.

Me : I’m in hell. Come get me.

Me: You love me? Psh.

It’s too late.
