Twelve Reasons.

Epilogue.

It had been two months since the day I walked away from Perri, but I didn't just walk away from him, I walked away from Diversity in the process.

I changed my number, I changed my hair, and I changed my address all over again, refusing to let the past ruin moving forward.

I left my job at the library, realising I was capable of much more and turned to editing and recording videos for upcoming dance acts, an art that I had found to love in the months I had been away from Diversity, but that all changed this morning when I was informed that I was covering a photo shoot for their first UK tour.

I hadn't spoken to Sam or Perri in two months, not only losing the person who held my heart but losing my best friend in the process. I guess karma does come back around.

I had flashbacks to that night regularly. Remember what Sam said when Perri walked through the door with Libby.

"He isn't telling you the truth Em, this is all some joke to him. You won't believe me right now, but you will" he whispered, the tears stinging my eyes, how could he say something so cruel? I really had thought he had come around to the idea of us. Starr and Georgia's faces turned to the table and all of the boys were whispering amongst themselves, indicating that indeed I didn't know something that I should.

I still remember the video and everything he said in it, but it didn't make the feelings I had for Perri go away and that was confirmed the moment I walked into the studio to do my job.

"Is that Emmie?" Jordan whispered. "Looks like it" Ashley whispered back. Everyone staring at me blankly. "Emmie?" Sam whispers, walking up towards me slowly. I was here to do a job, and I job that intended to do well.

"Em?" Perri's voice calls from across the room. He hadn't changed. None of them had.

I think back to the twelve reasons on why I fell for Perri, the twelve reasons on why I let him hold my heart.

But seeing the smile he had on his face right now indicated that I was never over Perri, not the way I thought I was.

"You once asked me what I loved the most about you, or what I loved about you, I take it all back it's not your smile or your personality. Emmie it's you, it's you in general it's everything about you." He whispers.

I look up at his golden brown eyes that I had got lost in so many times, over and over again.

"Twelve reasons I gave you Pel, twelve reasons why I loved you." I whisper, turning away from his eyes and looking around the room.

"I'm here to do the video for your photo shoot but that's all I'm here for. Then when I leave this room we go back to how it's been the last two months" I state, looking at everyone's faces dropping, the smiles leaving their faces, the room going quiet.

This wasn't what I wanted to do, but I knew it was what was right.

Twelve reasons to fall in love with someone were always twelve reasons to fall out, no matter how they made you feel whilst you was together. Sometimes things could be fixed and sometimes things couldn't. Perri made me feel like I was the only girl he ever could want, but in a blink of eye he also proved that he was exactly what everyone said he was.

You never really know someone at all, a curly haired Afro boy changed my life, for the better and for the worst. He gave me everything but also made me lose everything and I didn't think I could ever forgive him for that.
