Melissa POV
I stared in disbelief as she walked across the street and called a taxi. I turned around and kept walking towards the boarding area to get on the fairy that will take me to the Statue of Liberty.
I look back one more time and watch her shut the door of the taxi, and speed away. I felt like screaming. What was the big deal anyway? This is a stupid little thing, that she won't let go of. I'm starting to feel hatred towards Jackson. I told him that I had a day off with her.
It can't be Jackson and Ellie all the time.
Sometimes it has to be Melissa and Ellie sometimes too. I stop walking for a moment, and I realize that I have been so captured in my own spiral of thoughts, that I have been walking in the wrong direction. I groan. I rummage through my purse and take out my phone from inside.
I check the time. 1:13. The boat departed at 1:30. I dropped my phone back in my purse and walked fast in the other direction. The correct direction. I went back into my world of thoughts, but still being careful not to loose track of my direction.
I came to the conclusion that I was envious.
Envious of what Ellie shared with Jackson. I realized I didn't have a companion, to share thoughts, good times, and memorable moments with.
But I am also angry at the same time. The way she chose him, over me. But I guess that's her choice. I gave her one, and she chose. I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't come to the hotel tonight. But I blame myself too.
I stop my thoughts for a second as I board the boat. I make my way up to the secon floor, seeing that the seats on the first floor have been taken. Of course lucky me, there is a free spot. I head towards it and reluctantly take my seat. I am making a mistake.

Blame? Oh that's an easy one, I gave her a choice, and with that choice I expected an answer. But of course I was too foolish to realize that her answer, no matter what would be inevitable.
