I Tried

Chapter 3

(Three months later.. Jesse is due to go back home and live with her father.. Jesse and Nick still have not confessed how they feel about each other)

Jesse

I've never had to say goodbye before. When I was seven, I fell asleep in my bed at my mom's house and woke up in my dad's bed with no clothes and his arm laid across my chest. I've never said goodbye, and I don't want to. I love Nick too much to have the guts to leave him here in this hell hole. But I can't stay here. 

I'm only fifteen. Sometimes I wonder if I can fake being mentally unstable just to stay with Nick just a little bit longer. But I am a young adult and I need to grow up and face reality. But I just love Nick way too much. But I need to get a grip... 

if my dad bothers me that much, then I could just call the cops.. it isn't that hard. 

But... but Nick needs me. 

No he doesn't. 

Yes he does! 

I can't leave him! 

I need to pack up and go home. 

But Nick is still in there! 

The bus will leave if I don't run. 

I CAN'T!! 

I will. 

Goodbye Nick. 

Hello world.

Nick

I miss Jesse so much. I haven't slept in a week. I haven't eaten in a week. But I know I'll be fine without that stuff. A human being can survive up to three months without food. 

But a human being can't survive long without Jesse. I know it's terrible, but I sometimes wish that she would just prove herself mentally unstable and come back. God I miss her. I'll kill her dad if I find out that he touched her once she got back. I don't want her to go through any more pain like that again. 

She doesn't deserve to be sad. She is so beautiful that she literally only deserves joy. I know I'm only fifteen, but trust me. When it comes to Jesse, I know what I'm talking about. What I'm talking about is the love of my life. 

And the love of my life is gone. She is gone. I can't say goodbye yet. Jesse, I still miss you. Even after a whole week.
