Jerry's P.O.V

It's been three years and five months I last saw Annabelle. She literally abandoned all her socials, changed her number and maybe have moved on and doesn't care about me anymore. I thought about her everyday of my life and sometimes hated myself for letting her go that way, she was my everything. She's still my everything. I was going to go back, go back and tell her that I wanted her to stay in my life forever, tell her that I wasn't going anywhere else. I'm pretty sure I can make my own decisions right now and I wasn't going to hear any of my father's bullshit anymore.
I walked up to my dad's office with a hard scorn on my face whilst removing the gaddamn choked up tie I was suppose to wear everyday, I flung the door open with a furious look and my fist shaking.
"What are you doing Jerry"
"I'm done, done with all this. Done with this company and this country and everything, if I can't go back to Anna then I don't wanna be here anymore because she's my life okay?"
"Jerry you're making a very big mistake" He banged the table hard tightening his fist.
"I'm pretty sure I can make my own decisions, Give me a job in Scotland or I quit. Forever"
He looked at me with a Stern look filled with disgust and anger. We were both staring at each other right now which built up the tensions even more.
"You can take a flight to Scotland tomorrow but on one condition"
"I'll do anything"
"You have to work with the interns, the newly approved and upcoming Actors and Actresses"
"You've got to be kidding me, you Know how much I hate interns" I inhaled and exhaled calmly trying not to lose it. "Anything for Annabelle".
"Do you really love her?"
"I'll kill to be with her"
I walked out of the office calmly but still disturbed. I was excited but still I was worried, what ifs kept coming to my head and worst of them all was, what if she didn't want me anymore?.

I took a flight to Scotland the next morning. I was tired of always working under my Dad and listening to his bullshits. I was gonna open up my own company and leave him to decide the rest. He always times me with "What about your future". But right now the only future I want to have is Anna by my side. I almost teared up just thinking about her. I really can't forget her eyes, her smile, her laughter, her beautiful scent that makes my nostrils blessed. I wanted her more than anything and I would do anything, anything to make that happen.
We arrived at Scotland already and my heart couldn't stop jumping, I was gonna see Anna again, something I've dreamt about for a long time. I got to the airport exit and my Car was already waiting for me, my Dad and his over protective escorts.
"Welcome Mr Jerry, we were sent by your Dad"
"Urmm... you're all dismissed, take a vacation or something. I'm pretty sure I'm fine".
"As you wish sir". They loaded my luggages to my car slowly, I started the engine.
"We are done sir"
"Thank you. You can all go now".
I drove off to my Annabelle's coffee shop, I still remembered it very well and weirdly it made me think of all the memories we had in these streets. Driving by happily, because I was going to meet the one person that took my breath away. I got to the shop but something was not right, the shop was closed and nobody was in sight, I came down from my car hurriedly and knocked on the door, nobody answered. The place looked so deserted and dusty, I was getting worried because I couldn't imagined what would have happened that made it close down. This was the job she loved so much, what could have happened. I went back and started my car, heading to Annabelle's house, I couldn't see anyone there. What was happening??. I rang the bell and an old lady came out.
"Good evening ma'am, please I'm looking for Annabelle"
"There's no Annabelle here son, I've been here for 2 years now"
"Ohhh my, okay what about the person who stayed here before you moved in?"
"I have no information about that, Good day!". She slammed the door at my face by that last sentence. I still couldn't process what was going on and my fingers were shaking already. Where is my Annabelle?
I walked back to my car still looking back at the house to see if the old lady was hiding her or something. How can she disappear like that? No phone numbers, no socials, no home address, nothing. Literally Nothing. I was drained, I felt my face get hot and my teeth tighten, what could have happened to my one and only. I wanted to know.

I drove back home with stupid thoughts in my head. I couldn't just think straight and all I wanted was to find Annabelle, I opened the door and the first thing I breathe in was her scent. I fell to the chair, they were traces of her everywhere in this house. The couch, the stairs, the pillows. God I was loosing my mind!!
My ringing of my phone brought me out of my thoughts. It was the manager from the company I was assigned to.
"Yeah it's Jerry speaking"
"Mr Jerry, I was told you'd be coming in tomorrow and I was transferred to somewhere else. Is there anything you want us to set up before I leave?"
"No no, why burden yourselves. It's fine"
"Okay sir, I'll be here by 8am tomorrow to guide you through before my flight"
"I'll really appreciate that. Thank you"
The call ended and my mind, heart, soul and everything in me went back to thinking about Annabelle. I took risks to get back to this country because of her and I wasn't going to go anywhere without her. Not now, not ever.

Annabelle's P.O.V

Today was a big day for the company because a supposed new manager was coming in and he was a very important person. We were meant to wear cooperate, something I hated and then act like we were all nice and we cared about him. I put on the black heels Jeremy got for me recently and the short cooperate skirt he forcefully made me buy, according to him this was my chance to get a new guy after Jerry but God damn I didn't want someone new. It was Jerry or no one else and well I guess I have to live with the thought of never seeing him again because he was never coming back. I styled my brown coloured hair in a messy bun and added some need glasses, Jeremy really went all out on this one.
Walking to the bus stop wasn't very easy for me because these heels were too high but I had no choice. I got a bus that headed straight to my office, I now worked as the assisting props female in an Entertainment company. Jeremy would say luck came by me after I finished by auditions for acting. They gave me this job and I loved it more than anything, it was 30 minutes from home and we had actual lunch breaks, like real food. Jeremy owned a gay club now, well something I expected a long time ago and we were both happy with our new jobs. It was sad that Mrs Thompson passed away, she was everything to me. I walked into the building silently with my earphones plugged in, walked to my office and sat patiently like everyone waiting for the new manager to arrive. We all hate the other one because he was so hard and aggressive, so we had hope that this new manager was gonna be nice. At least we hoped.
"Miss Annabelle, the courier outside wants to see you"
"Oh okay, I'll be there shortly"
I turned off my music and followed the post man outside. While I walked to the courier, a car aggressively parked in front of the company and a tall guy walked out. He was facing backwards and I really couldn't see his face, I went to the courier and talked about the posting and what I wanted. When I turned back around, the tall guy was gone, I walked back to the company but something made me stop. It was his scent, I knew this scent anywhere, anytime, any day. I inhaled it again and nothing changed, I felt my body weaken and my face redden. Maybe my head was playing games with me, it was impossible. I took in some breathe and walked back to the company, somethings you unavoidably smell something you've been longing for. It's like de ja vu .
I opened the doors to my office and walked in, the same scent was everywhere and this time it wasn't just a little bit, it filled the air. I felt my eyes water and my heart beat faster than anything in the world, I quickly walked to the rest room to calm my self down a bit. I looked at the mirror and whispered "Mama ain't raised no weak bitch, you can't cry". I smiled by that self made speak and cleared my throat, that speech has kept me all together till today and I wasn't gonna ever stop.
Walking to my table, I stopped dead on my tracks. How was this possible?, how could this be?, Is this a clone?, Am I having those stupid nightmares again?. I cleaned my eyes and blinked twice but it wouldn't go away. My bracelet was missing, the thing I loved with my whole life, the last thing Jerry left me before he left me alone. I searched my table and the drawers but I couldn't find it, I entered the rest room and found it on the sink. I exhaled. If I ever lost this bracelet, I might not speak to my self anymore.

Sitting on my chair, I turned on my computer to start working, I had a long day ahead and I still haven't met the manager I was supposed to work with. I'm his assistant and lateness like this can't even be tolerated but if he likes late then I'll be late on his word besides I hate stress and this was stress.
