Straightening out my dress, I took a deap breath enhailing the warm yet still breezy spring air. I knew this was a bad idea, but I never was good at keeping my impulses under control.

JJ released a new album with Randolph and tonight was the listening party. I intend to stay hidden out of side, as Gee said everyone is moving on and the last thing I want is to make an even bigger mess than I have already.

I'm not sure what possessed me to think coming was a good idea.

Maybe a part of me still believes were right for each other despite him having a girlfriend and everything that happened before her. Just maybe, a part of me still wanted us to have a life together.

But, maybe that's not possible because no matter how much we crave it you can't always have a happy ending.

I hurt people, and I knew they were hurting after I left, still I never came back.

I suppose, coming back might be more selfish then leaving, it's to late now I thought before my eyes landed on him.

His dirty blonde hair and striking ocean blue eyes caught me of guard and all I wanted in that moment was for it to be me and him again. Then the perfect dream was shattered by the beautiful blonde who's hands where intertwined with his.


I wanted to scream, I wanted to cry in reality I wanted to do what I did best run.

So that's what I did, I turned on my heels bag still clutched tightly to my side. I took no notice of who surrounded me, the room was luckily dimly lit and crowded with people so it wasn't to hard to stay hidden as I darted out of the building.

Then it hit me, or more like he hit me. The bearded boyfriend, of my once best friend. I stumbled slightly, keeping my head facing the floor hoping to leave still undetected.

"Talia" He looked and sounded shocked, I can't blame him.

"Josh-"

"What are you doing here?" He snaps.

"I-I um" Stuttering, I turn away his eyes bringing up the heaviest burden Ive ever had to hold.

Guilt.

"You can't be here" He says, as if he's reading my exact thought and feelings.

"I know" I reply, "but I am" I say stating, the obvious.

"Simon he, he can't see you here" He says, gently holding my arm and pulling me to a secluded part of the venue were we could stay hidden.

"I know" I repeat, "I didn't plan to be seen" I explain.

"Do you even know what you caused when you left?" He asks, as I wonder if he realises that his voice sounds as bitter as his face looks.

"Yes, I created a mess" I admit, "and there isnt a moment that I don't think about how much I threw away and I know it was all my fault-"

"You don't have to apologise" He reasons.

"But it's true, all of this it's all my fault and I'm so so sorry" I apologise frantically as my heart pounds so fast I fear it will burst, "I just, you don't know what it was like, my head was a mess and I just caved, I gave up because I couldnt handle feeling like that anymore" I cried, the tears flowing, my makeup now smudged and sliding around my face.

"Oh Talia" He sympathised, pulling me into a short hug.

"I don't know what to do Josh, is he happy" I say, glancing over to Simon who was just slightly still visible and the girl he was dancing besides, "Because, he looks it" I sigh.

"It wasn't easy for him T, to find happiness again" Josh explains, "but he did, he found it again and Lola she's not you and he knows his heart doesn't beat for her like it did for you but, he found it in her happiness and I believe he's learning to love again" I wiped the tears, straightening my posture my eyes drift back to Si.

"So he was better of" I mutter, not audible.

"What I said before, about how you shouldnt be here" He says, sounding apologetic, "I didn't mean to sound harsh it's just when you left it broke him and everyone else had to pick up the pieces, I just dont want to see that happen again and you being here it woudnt do him any good" Josh explained, I nodded slowly taking in each word.

"I never wanted to hurt him you know" I sigh.

"I know"

"Goodbye josh" He pulls me into a brotherly hug, stroking my hair soothingly as I shed a few more tears.

"Talia, If there's anythings this whole fucked up situation should have taught you it's there's no such thing as goodbye, not one that last anyway" He grins, I smile back and chukle slightly knowing he was right.

"Well then" I start "Goodbye Josh, for now anyway" I finish, pulling from his embrace slipping away once again.

Exciting the venue, I find a small smile tugging on my coloured lips, he's happy. Then I hear my name being called, the cold air freezing me in place as my breathing hitches and heart stops.

Slowly I turn around, my bag drops to the floor my eyes widening.

"Thought you could leave without saying goodbye again" He says, as if he wants to joke like old times but the hurt not letting him.

"Simon I-"
