A week before the wedding
Leahs pov
I'm on my way to Jens apartment. Crazy huh? I'm just dropping her things off that she's left at my house when we were together. And I'm picking up my things. We're officially over after this. I mean we haven't talked for weeks but this makes it final I guess we don't need to have each other's things lying around the house to remind us of each other. It's just unhealthy and weird.
I knock on her door and she answers not too long after.
"Hi. Come in. Still packing your stuff" she says. I close the door behind me and placed the bag of her things down by the couch. Nothings really changed in her apartment. It's cute and I'll probably miss this place because I used to come here a lot just to chill with her and be all cuddled up during the holidays. Sigh.
"Here" She says walking out of her room. "Thanks" I said and took the bag from her. We just looked at each other for a few seconds, then she looked away.
"So uh..you're seeing someone still? It's been a while since we...you know.." She asks without looking at me. I didn't answer. So a few seconds later, she looks at me again. "Are you?" I ask her. "No"
"Me neither"
"Then...why'd you tell the girls that one night after we tried on our dresses that you're bringing a girl to the wedding as your date?" She asks me. "I'm not. I just did that to catch your attention that day. That was long ago but I didn't think it through once the day actually comes that I won't be bringing a date."
"So you cared?" She asks. I sigh and begin to walk away. "Wait Leah." She says. "What" "are you doing okay?" She asks me which kind of hits me.
"I'm fine....are..you?"
"I've been better" she shrugs. "Well. Eventually we'll fully move on right?" I giggle. She doesn't say anything at first and sighs.
"Actually..ever since you said that you were talking to someone..it got worst for me. I did get jealous and I didn't like the feeling. So today is really hard for me to go through. But...I know you're done with me. Giving back your things and all that is hard. It was the last thing to remind me that you were somehow still with me. Now it's all over" she says.
"Well now you don't have to worry cause I'm not seeing anyone" I said. "I guess"
"It's best that we just..go our separate ways. This is just way too messy for us both. You not being okay with what happened, and me dealing with that shit." I said.
"But..our friends. We have mutual friends. We're gonna end up talking again" She says.
"Well that's for the future to hold" I said.
"But-"
"We can't do anything about our friends we're splitting everyone up and it's not right" I said. "I-i know.." She says.
"Just....know I still love you. I hope you find happiness from someone else. Someone better than me. I hope you get the love you deserve. I hope you get even bigger opportunities in your modeling career. I hope your parents would fully understand you with whatever decisions you make..I hope..I hope one day you'll forgive me and we could just be friends because it's kind of hard loosing someone like you. The drinking and going to the hospital made me realize a lot and I don't wanna end up depressed again. Even if it means I just have to be friends with you and nothing further..I'd love that." I said as she looks right at me while I said all that.
"Leah.."
I forced a smile and looked away. But she places her hand softly on my face. So I look back at her as her eyes were a bit watery.
