Jiley-Our Realitionship Together-Continued

Life changing Decision

James POV:
I walk along the street to try and clear my head. I hate this. I hate feeling this way. I stop and look over at the park. Everywhere I look there is something to remind me of everything. A couple kissing-me and Riley, a man talking to the couple-Alfie, an old lady sitting on the bench-my mom, two young children- Ashlyn and Dylan, those two young children running  up to the old lady who smiles and plays with them-my children with my mom. I sigh. They'll never be able to do that again. They'll never be able to spend time with their grandmother ever again. I continue to walk along the street. I stop and look at a building. This is the restaurant that mom used to bring me and Kevin to. I look in the window at everyone eating and having a good time. I look at the table that we used to always sit at. It's now occupied by another family. I walk for another few minutes and then stop outside a toy store. My mom always brought me here. We would spend hours wandering around the shop looking at all the toys. Me and Kevin would be in our own little world while mom sat down and happily watched us enjoy our childhood. I put my head down and fight back some tears. Finally, I stand outside The Next Step Dance Studio. I think of all the times I would come here. All the times my mom would drop in at random times to see how I was doing and drop off lunch when I forgot it. All the times my mom would cheer me on from the audience when I went to different dance competitions. All the times she was just there for me throughout my life when I needed her most. And now she's gone. I don't have a mom or a dad anymore. They're both gone. I turn around and begin to make my way home. As I do I take in everything around me. Every inch of this place reminds me of her. It also reminds me of everything that's happened in my life. How can I move on from everything if all I can see is reminders of it all?
Rileys POV:
I walk around the house and think about all that has hapened. Now that I think about it,everywhere we go there is something to remind us of everything that happened in our lives. Theres no getting away from it. No matter what we do. This place, this area,this city, everything. It's a constant reminder of it all. The only way we'll forget it all is if we move on. By move on...I mean...move place. We have to leave.
James walks into the house and stands at the door. I stand in the hallway and look at him. He looks at me. We stand in silence. I move towards him.
'James...are you okay?'
He strides towards me and grabs me and pulls me in and kisses me. I kiss him back. He pulls away and wraps his arms around me hugging me.
'I love you Riley. I love you so so much. And I'm so sorry for everything that's happened. I wish I could go back in time and change it all. But I cant. And I'm so sorry'
I pull away and look at him.
'James....none of this is your fault. Please dont blame yourself for it all. It is what it is'
'I just wish it wasnt'
I put my head down.
'I've been thining' we say at the same time.
We smile at eachother.
'You go first' he says.
I take a breath in.
'If you dont like this idea...that's okay. What I'm gonna say is big'
He nods.
'So...everywhere we go, everyone we see...theres always going to be a reminder of everything thats happened. And...if we're going to move on...we cant do it here...so...I was thinking...that maybe...we should move...as in move away from here. Get out of this city. Get a small place somewhere else. We dont need a massive house to be happy. We could move to the countryside. Get a small little house there. The twins would love the open space. It would be a perfect place to start over. Nothing to remind us of all the bad things. We could give this place to Emily or Piper and Alfie can stay here too. I think...we just need to get away. If you don't like it thats fine. It's a massive decision for us. Its life changing'
He looks at me and nods and smiles.
'Everything you just said...is exactly what went through my head' he says.
'Really?'
'Really. I think it's the best thing for us to do'
I nod.
'Yes. I think so too'
He hugs me.
This really is a life changing decision. But finally...we might be able to move on for good this time.
