I still remember how much it hurt, getting told the flight to London where Elizabeth is in had already left. I thought that was it, she was the one who got away. I went home heartbroken, only to get a visit from her Dad a few days afterwards. He told me to not give up on her, he doesn't know her address but she begged me not to stop until she's back in my arms.
They said that love can make you do stupid things, and I probably did the biggest one yet. Convinced that she still has feelings for me, I decided to look for her. But that's not an easy thing, Elizabeth deactivated all her social accounts and contacts. I was completely cut off.
That broke me, knowing that she was able to completely drop me off. Was she that mad? I certainly thought so. It became all too much that I resigned from my work and concentrated all my time on trying to find her again. I really just have to find her again.
"Thank you for flying with American Airlines" the stewardess said as I got off the plane. There was a smile that erupted from my face as I reached the lobby.
"Brad, welcome to London" I whispered to myself as I headed for the exit.

"See you guys tomorrow" I told my co-workers as I left the coffee shop. It's been 4 months since I got her, it was the new start I dreamed of. It felt liberating, knowing that I was able to leave my life and everyone I love to start a new. But I had no choice though, I really have to leave them. I have to leave them before they leave me alone again.
God knows how much my heart broke when I had to remove Brad form my life completely. He's the only person who taught me how to love, he's also the person who took that away.
I wonder how he is now, hope he's alright with Elena. A part of me still wishes that nothing changed, that he and I are nothing but fuck buddies. But I know I ruined it, I fell for him and that completely broke the deal. It was unfair to leave without warning but I know I'll just hurt him more if I do.
I still love Brad but I have hopes that in time I'll forget about him.
A couple of minutes after I took a turn, my eyes got fixed on a certain someone standing in front of my apartment building. That back seemed familiar, and when he turned around my heart dropped. I quickly hid at the corner and had to cover my mouth to stop myself form screaming.
What the hell is he doing here?. I took a peek and saw Brad knocking at the door. At first I thought I should back off and disappear but then I realized how many people I pushed away in my entire life. He endured the trouble of going here just to find me, maybe there's something I've been missing all along. I took a deep breath and then came out to approach him.
"Hey Brad".

I can't believe it's her, I can finally see her. "Elizabeth" I uttered and then proceeded to hug her but she told me not to so I backed off.
"Why did you follow me?" she asked.
"I love you Elizabeth, I was just too dumb to admit it. I knew it the moment I found out you're the girl who saved me 13 years ago"
Her eyes were starting to tear up, I looked around and saw how empty this street is. I never knew London has a blind spot, or maybe they're just asleep. I don't know.
"And I knew for quite some time you're that kid , I'm not worth being loved Brad. That's my issue" she said as her voice started to crack up.
"I can't control who my heart beats for, that's my issue" I replied as I took a step closer.
"Why me? You can be with Elena .. why would you go here and find me?" my heart broke when I saw her crying. I can feel her demons winning. She's too scared of love, she's too scared to get hurt.
"I'm sorry ... but you're who I want"
"Brad, you won't be happy with me" she whispered
"Why?"
"Because I'm not happy with me"
I started to wipe her tears away but she stopped me. "Seriously, just go back and start your live all over. Trust me, you'll be much happier" she's trying to convince me but I already made up my decision.

I completely lost it, I'm still irrevocably in love and scared. "Why are you so scared?" he then asked. "I was left alone for so many times, both my parents ... my friends .. I'm forever alone" I replied, I can barely speak anymore.
"You're not alone. I'll be here"
"You're so stupid. Don't you get it Brad? I'm giving you a chance to have a better life. I'm a mess and I'm still working my butt off to make everything better. I'm not good for you Brad .. I am not good for you" That's it, my knees are starting to go weak.
"Maybe that's what I want, mess me up Elizabeth"
I wanna slap him to hopefully sink some sense into him but for some reason I just can't. "Let's just say that in an alternate universe everything is different, you're not scared to love and I'm not stupid and arrogant. Let's just say that our lives were perfect, that we're not just a couple with fucked up brains. We'll get married .. have kids .. grow old together and watch our kids grow old as well. We can be every happy Elizabeth, what's stopping you?" he asked.
"This is not an alternate universe. My reality hurts"
"Then share the pain with me" he uttered and then leaned in to kiss my lips. That's the moment when he knew I surrendered.
I wasted 4 months trying to forget him when the truth is I can't live without him. We went through so much, we bonded for way too much.
"I love you" he whispered afterwards.
"I love you too" I replied and saw the huge smile on his face. "Good, 'cause I'll be staying here for a while" he said afterwards.
"How about your work?"
"I resigned"
"What? That's stupid"
"That's what you want right? A guy who will do something crazy to prove how much he loves you?"
I just nodded and then he once again kissed me.
