Now and Then (Kleinsen)

Evan/Jared-Goodbye Until Tomorrow/I Could Never Rescue You (Last Part)

So Evan's POV is in underline!!! His story is at the beginning, when he comes back from his first date with Jared.

Jared's is in Italics. His story is at the end, when Evan has left him.

Hope you enjoy the last chapter to Now and Then.

Jared and I were walking through Central Park. He was holding my hand, and every so often, he'd squeeze it. He then stopped us. He took his phone out of his pocket, and opened the camera app.

He placed the phone on a bench, and ran to me, putting his arm around my waist, and he leaned into my shoulder.

"Hurry up! The timer is going!" He said. He smiled, and I smiled. The camera flashed, and I'm pretty sure both of us blinked. We laughed.

He spun me to face him, and he kissed me. I didn't really expect it. I mean, one minute, we're just hanging out, and the next, he's kissing me. I smiled, kissing him back. He pulled away, laughing.

"You're not that bad of a kisser, you know..." He said. I giggled. "I've got to go. I'll see you later!" He kissed me again, and ran off in the dark.

Goodbye until the next time you call, and I will be waiting. Goodbye until tomorrow. Goodbye 'til I recall how to breathe. And I have been waiting. I have been waiting for someone like you.

I'll see you again!

I called Christine to help me pack my bags. I went downtown and closed the bank account. It's not about another shrink. It's not about another compromise. I'm not the only one who's hurting here.

I don't know what the hell is left to do.

You never saw how far the crack had opened. You were lost in the dark pit. I lowered my rope to rescue you. You hung on, but...

You never knew I had run out of rope, and I could never rescue you.

No matter how I tried, all I could do was love you as much as I can. And you made me let you go. God, I loved you so fucking much.

Have I told you how lucky I was to be in love with you?

So we could fight. Or we could wait. Or I could go...

Goodbye...

How was that for an ending???

I want to thank you all so much for reading!!!! I love all the support this has gotten, and y'all are amazing!!!!!
