Taking into account that Amy doesn't stop thinking about Scott, we thought it would be a good idea to go for a walk around the hotel: see the blue sky, listen to the birds and make beautiful photos for Instagram, since I have to start updating it. At first, Amy resisted but then gave in. After two hours hiking, we decided to return to the hotel for dinner time. While Hannah complains about the excess exercise she has done today, I take advantage and upload the photo to Instagram.

"Have you talked to Reece?" Amy asks, arriving at my side, avoiding hearing more of Hannah's complaints, who has sat down on the first thing she has caught, forcing us to stop the walk. Confused, I ask her what she's talking about, "what will you do when this is over." She clarifies me.

Until last night I had not seen it necessary talking to Reece about that, I thought this was only going to last as long as the trip lasts, but yesterday he made it clear that he felt something for me, well, and George did it too.

"No, I guess I'm afraid to ask him." I shrug my shoulders. "He lives far away but I don't think I'm ready for a long distance relationship. I love him, I love him very much. But not being able to see him or be next to him ... I do not think my heart can take that.-"

"Maybe the best thing is breaking up." Amy advises me, sad to see how difficult the situation between us would be.

"There's no need to break up, we're not a couple." I exclaim as I shrug. But there is something inside me that refuses to believe that.

"Well, it's obvious that you're both in love with each other. And he probably doesn't want to ask you out because of this exact thing." Amy defends.

Hannah adds, "I've seen the way he looks at you, it's like you're the only girl in the world. Tommy used to look at me like that. Don't let him go."

"Our love is hopeless. We're both 17, there's nothing we can do against it. Maybe he's just not the right one for me." I say desperately, not believing any words I'm saying.

"You can't fool us. Look at me in the eyes and say that again." Hannah stands in front of me with her hands in my shoulders waiting for me to repeat it. But I can't, I can't lie to them nor myself. So, I just give in.

"I didn't want this to happen, I'm not ready to let him go. This must be a damn joke of fate, I just had to fall in love with someone who lives far from me and at the end of this week, I'll have to say goodbye. How can you say goodbye to someone you love without hurting him?" I ask almost on the verge of tears, I cover my face with my hands and seconds later, arms surround me.

"You know what they say, if you are made for each other, fate will make you meet again, at the right time." Hannah tries to comfort me but fails to do that. The fact that I have to tell him that this can not continue, imagining his face, thinking that George was right from the beginning, destroys me.

" What if I walk away from him? That way I will not hurt him when I leave." I try to reason but my head knows that I am not able to get away from him, I am very selfish.

"Not only you will hurt him, but you too. Just enjoy this time you have together and talk about this as soon as possible." Amy's right. It's not fair to him. I can't give up on us.

"Girls, I don't want to disturb, but Giselle, you have to see your comments in the new photo." Hannah says a bit uncomfortable, tending her mobile phone to me to see it. I pick it up quickly and slide my finger through the comments. My little brother Peter has commented and I can not help feeling a bit of nostalgia and sadness because I promised him I would call him and I have not done it yet. Blake has also commented and then my eyes stop to see the last comment. Raf.

"What the hell does he think he is?!" I ask furiously. We haven't talked since we broke up and now he decides to show up in my life as if nothing has happened. Well, I'm sorry. I've waited for him to come back, to change but now it's too late.
