Where Are You Now?

Not Strong Enough To Let You Go

Chapter 28

Michelle's P.O.V

"Is everything okay?" Zack asks me once I get back in. "Did you know he's leaving?" I ask looking back at him and he doesn't seem surprised.

"Yeah." He says looking away for a second. "It's stupid. Why now?" I ask looking away from him while everyone else is laughing and it makes me remember for a second what happiness is.

"He believes that the only way to prove to them that he doesn't lo... that you don't mean anything to him is by leaving." He tells me.

"I hate him." I say more to myself than it's to him. "He doesn't. That's why he is doing all of this." He says and I chuckle. "I've heard these words more than I could count." I tell him looking down at the ground.

"I don't want him to leave Zack." I say still looking at the ground but he doesn't say anything.

"Can you call him?" I beg looking at him and his eyes widen but he agrees by taking his phone out.

"Hey man, where are you?" He starts and leaves the room once Sasha's attention turns to us.

"What did you do to piss him off ?" Sasha asks me and the room is silent now. "Michelle, come on." Zack calls once he comes back saving me from having to answer her question and I stand to where he is.

We both leave the house and before I ask Zack about where he is I see him and I don't think twice before I rush to him.

"You're selfish and cold-hearted ." I say angrily pushing him away but he doesn't get affected by it.

"You don't get to ruin me then to run away, Josh. From the beginning you knew this would fucking happen but you didn't care. I kissed you first and I was so stupid but you didn't push me away instead you've chased me, you opened up to me , magically kissed me and I fell for you. Josh, I love you but you're leaving now and I hate you. I hate you for everything you've done to me even the kidnapping. If I haven't met you, I wouldn't have been so sad and afraid of you walking away from me any second." I frown looking him in the eye.

He doesn't say anything for a few seconds and I could feel the end so close, I could see him leaving any second.

"I didn't mean for any of this to happen." He starts. "Ever since when I saw you with George all I wanted is you to be mine but then I realized how selfish that is; knowing that I'd only bring you pain and sadness but it was too late I fell for you. And instead of pushing you away, I opened up to you. And I'm sorry... for everything. I really am, it wasn't my choice to let you fall in love with me but it was mine to fall in love with you and I killed us by loving you and I do regret it ... I regret loving you." He says looking directly at me and cutting me like a knife.

"Okay." All that I can say looking away from him I turn around knowing that this time it's really over and I start crying. I cry hoping it'd be the last time I'd ever cry because of him.

I walk away from him hoping he'd just stop me but he doesn't.

I see Zack standing right where I had left him. "Don't." He softly says shaking his head slowly with eyes full of sadness.

But then I feel someone grabbing my arm gently and pulls me to him hugging me tightly. I rest my head on his chest and my arms around his waist hugging him as tight as I could hoping if time could only freeze.

"I don't want this for you, I'm sorry." He says gently stroking my hair.

"Josh. "I start pulling away from him but he doesn't let me continue. "You're mine." He whispers looking down at me and I could feel my heart beating faster; hearing the words I've never thought I would ever hear from him.

"I'm not strong enough to let you go." He says lifting my chin up. "Then don't. Don't let me go." I whisper to him feeling his lips on mine. And right now I could remember what happiness is and the way it feels.

Him being mine is all I'd ever need.

Well, this might be a short chapter and is also early updated. But this is the way I wanted the story to end in 2014.
