Day and June: Champion (Continued)

Day

I leave tomorrow. I can't leave June. Not without knowing. She just won't tell me. Why won't she tell me? I can't think about this right now. I have to pack and get ready to go back to Antarctica. I just can't stop asking myself. Will I ever come back here? Of course I will. If Eden gets the job. I get up off my bed. I take a shower and get dressed. I grab my suitcase on the other side of my room and starting grabbing things and filling the suitcase. After a couple of minutes. I hear a lot knock on my bedroom door. I open it up to see Eden standing there. "What can I do for you," I ask. "I know you want to go see her," he says suspiciously. I'm about to respond, but I can't. Do I really want to see her before I leave? It'll just make things harder. For her and I. I shake my head no. "It will just make things more difficult for the both of us," I reply. "Day, you have to see her. She probably wants to see you, too," Eden tells me. I contemplate his words. Maybe she does want to see me. And I do want to see her as well. I nod my head and get dressed. I walk out of the door with my hands stuffed in my coat pockets. I walk to her apartment which seems so far away. I look at her door for what seems like an eternity before I work up the courage to knock on her door. I knock lightly and I can hear her light footsteps walking to the door. She opens up the door dressed in her pajamas. Her hair falls passed her shoulders. I can't help but admire her for a second. She speaks first bringing me back to reality. "Hey, Day. What can I help you with? Shouldn't you be packing to leave?," she asks me. "I came to say goodbye," I say avoiding her eye contact. "Oh, then please, come in," she says making room for me to walk in. I stand there with my hands stuffed in my pocket. "Day," she starts, but I cut her off. "Look, I'm sorry if I really annoyed you. I guess I just really want to clear that fog," I tell her. "It's okay. I understand where you are coming from. I would've done the same thing," she replies. I can't help but steal a glance at her lips. She's truly beautiful. I can't help myself. I lean my head down and put my lips against hers. She's hesitant at first, but gives in. She entangles her fingers in my hair as I wrap my arms around her small waist pulling her closer to me. All of a sudden memories come pouring into my mind like a tidal wave. I see a girl in a skiz fight. I see a girl and I kissing in an alleyway. So many memories come back. The fog is cleared. I remember her. I remember June. I kiss her harder with all these memories of us. She kisses me back just as hard. She wants this just as much as I do. We break apart after a while. I put my forehead against hers. "I remember," I say with a grin on my face. "Day," she begins, but I kiss her lightly. When I break apart she continues. "Your leaving today. Don't you see? We can't be together. You'll be in Australia and I'll be here. We can't make that work. I have to let you go," she says with tears in her eyes. "I'll stay," I say quickly. "What?," she asks confused. "I'll stay for you," I say. "You can't throw away your life just for me. Eden needs you," she says. "But you are my world. And plus Eden probably got the job. It's here in the Republic. June, I'll stay for you," I reply. "But," she begins. "No buts. My mind is made up. I'm staying. Come on, let's go tell Eden," I say heading for the front door. "Okay let me change first," she says walking to her room. A couple of minutes later she walks out fully dressed. "Okay, now we can go," she says. I open the door and we walk outside.
