I roll over in bed and the side Shane should be is empty. I open my eyes and on his pillow is a note and a single pink rose. I pick up the rose and note. I bring the rose to my nose and take a  deep breath. I open the note and began to read.

    To: The Girl I Love,

   

    Hey Baby, I couldn’t sleep last night. I watched you sleep for a while and then I picked up a pen and paper and began to write. I have a great time with you this weekend it felt like old times. When we would have your little sleepovers in each others rooms. I love that you still smell the same as you did as a kid. I have done a lot of thinking tonight. There is no easy way to say this, but you and I can’t be together. I’m not going to let you give up the crown for me, you are meant to be queen. I know i’m being a jerk right now but dang it Layla you can’t give up your future for me. So I made some calls and you will be picked up at 10 am sharp. I left at 12 last night to head back home. I needed some time to myself. I’m sorry but i can’t be the reason you reck your future. I will still be your gard and I promise I will keep you safe. You need to marry  Zander, and I will stand by you as your best friend. Yes this is very hard for me to let you go but i have to do wat is right for you. I love you Layla with every single bone in my body, but you need to marry him it is what's best for Genovia. I packed your bags all you have to wake up and go. I’m really sorry I didn't say goodbye. But i just couldn’t do it. I hope you had a great Birthday weekend away. By the way Happy Birthday. I called for room service they should be there at seven. I love you.

-Shane

Ps. I am no longer your boyfriend, i’m breaking up with so you can have the future you deserve.

Forever and Always in my heart.

I don't know what to do I have so many different feelings happening right now.  I’m so confused why did Shane break up with me when he just told me he loved me. I’m so lost in my thoughts that when there is a knock on the door I jump. Omg maybe that is Shane he just forgot his key card. I jump to feet and run to the and fling it open and what i find isn't what i expected. Standing in front of me is Martin and his band with Chocolate chip pancakes and an iced caramel latte. I step back to let them in. “Happy Birthday Layla!” They all say as they come in. I just look at Martin. “ You know Sweetheart when someone tells you happy birthday you say thank you.” I blink a few times. “Oh yeah sorry Thank you, Martin why are you here?” He smiles and then looks at his guys. “Well Shane texted me last night and told me to stop by with your favorite breakfast and before you left. So here we are.”

“Oh well thank you all but i'm not really feeling good.” “Oh okay well i hope you had a great time at the concert. It was great meeting you. Happy birthday Layla and safe travels home.” He kisses my cheek and they all leave. You know any other girl will be freaking out if  Boys Like Girls were in there hotel room, I guess i'm not an ordinary girl. Oh yeah that's right im not. I’m the freaking Princess of Genovia.  I eat a few bites of my pancakes then push it away. I crawl up in a ball on the and pull Shane’s pillow close to my chest. I then let into the tears that have been threatening to come out since i read Shane’s letter.

I get woken up by a the hotel phone ringing. “Hello.” i say hitting the speaker button. “Hello Layla your ride is here.” “Okay be right down thank you.” I hang up, and I grab all my things and walk out the room. I take the elevator down and when it opens i come face to face with Finn. “Hey!” He says, i wave and he comes and grabs my bags. we walk outside there is a a black mercedes with black tinted windows in front. i get in the backseat and close my eyes.
