(Juliet's POV)
I looked at him closely, his lovely brown hair falling over his eyes so perfectly, his beautiful clear blue eyes that contrasted wonderfully against his newly tanned skin, which I hadn't noticed before. They were clearer than a summers day, he was so tall, so handsome... how could this be happening? Our hands had met and that's when I realized that he was all I needed. I need him, I needed to feel his warmth next to mine. I smiled at him but then quickly frowned, the person whom I trusted with my life besides my family was leaving forever.
Yet here I was, still sitting with him on this little mountain, facing the beach, hoping that this moment would last a little while longer. To be honest, I think it was time to let go, I know I was being selfish, and I had to let go, but somehow I couldn't.
"you know I don't like to see you frown sweetheart." He said as he searched my eyes. I turned away and stared into the distance, today was warmer than any other days for being spring, It was almost perfect. No clouds, no wind, no humidity, it was just perfect.
"C'mon... I don't want to see you like this on my last day here..." He frowned.
I looked up at him and I could feel my heart shatter slowly into millions of pieces. He was the most beautiful boy I have ever met, he was my best friend, my number one fan, my partner in crime, my other half... my soon to be ex-boyfriend. Just thinking about it hurt more than I could really bare, he was so handsome, so... kind, so sweet, gentle, thoughtful... his personality was gold, his physical appearance was more than I could handle sometimes. combining his appearance with his personality was just explosive, I never thought a person like him would exist. Maybe it was the thought of him, the image of him that I couldn't let go. He's been in my life for far too long to just end this just like that and never look back. The thought of him being with someone else was torture, the thought that killed me the most was that I wouldn't see him again. My best friend, my lover, my anchor. Because after today, I don't think I would be ok facing him ever again.
"I'm sorry Johnny... I just... I can't... I... I don't know how to soak this day in." I said not knowing what to say, speechless.
"Babe... I just want to enjoy this day with you being happy, I want to enjoy our last moments together before I have to go. I want to remember this day forever." He said resting his forehead on mine.
"I know, me too, but... Johnny how can I be happy when today will be the last day I will ever see you... the last day we will be together, holding hands, hugging, laughing, smiling... I don't see why you can't stay--"
"Juliet, we've been through this..." He sighed. "you and I both know why I can't stay here. I can't stay here in this town, I have dreams too Juliet. I dreams that someday I can really help people, change the world even... I need to chase my own dreams like you. You're in a band that's going places, you are going to help so many people out there who needs to hear your words. I need to go to finish my medical school and with this exclusive and certainly unexpected scholarship that I got to one of the most prestigious schools in Europe, it's a once in a lifetime chance for me to start helping people... living the dream I've always wanted. I got to thinking that we both have dreams, and that this, is dying off slowly..." He said turning away.
"I thought we had it all planned out, I thought I was your dream... I thought we could do this togethe--"
"We were kids in high school dreaming about a fantasy life. It was in a time when life was so much easier than it is now. Juliet, you are my best friend and the best girlfriend I've ever had but... We've grown up, I know what I want, I know where I want to be. You and I have different mentalities now. You're going one way and I'm going another. Haven't you noticed that we both don't have anything in common anymore? Im white you're Black, I'm down, you're up... we're different people now Juliet. We're growing up. It's time to go our separate ways and explore the world. We've always been here, always stood by eachothers side. Depending on one another... It's time we both fly. You will soon be on your way to recording your first album and touring the country. I dont think I would be able to do that anymore. I don't want to be the merch guy who watches his girl live her dreams while mine wash away."
"Then don't be the merch guy! Be the guy who stands by me through thick and thin! I don't want you to sell my merch I want you to live your dreams... Just next to me! It's possible." I said getting frustrated.
"JULIET. I don't think that my dreams involve waiting at home by myself for months at a time. I don't think I can do that, not with you... don't look at me like that, you know we've only been together as of recently because we felt it was the right thing to do since we've been together this long..."
And there is was, the 'we've grown apart' speech, "So you never loved me is th--"
"Oh my god! NO! Juliet, I'm not saying that, yes I loved you, and I still do, but not the same way I use to. You were my first and only love, how could I not love you. I cherish you so much, and im sorry we ruined our friendship.--"
"I'm sorry I wasnt good enough."
He sighed in frustration, "JULIET! You don't understand, you are good enough you always have been. I just stopped--"
"Loving me?"
"STOP, THAT'S NOT WHAT IM SAYING!" He yelled in getting angry, as he gripped my arm even harder.
I dont know why I was pushing his buttons if I knew exactly what he was talking about. He was the perfect person for me... almost too perfect... we knew each other too well, and we kinda just went back to the way things were before... when we were just friends. The only difference was that we were friends who kissed and held hands and called each other boyfriend and girlfriend, it was meaningless... and he was finally letting out what we were both feeling inside. I guess I was scared that if I let him go, there wouldn't be anyone else who would want to date me for me... not for being the "rockstar's daughter.' Don't get me wrong, I loved my dad... but having to deal with guys coming up to you and pretend they cared, only getting to know you so they could go back to their friends and brag about how they were hitting or flirting with "kellin Quinns daughter." it was annoying, Jonny was different... but things change and so do people... He was right, we had both fallen out of love and just stayed with each other because we felt comfortable.
"HEY, is everything ok here?" we heard a british voice say behind us.
I turned around and it I froze, the oxygen escaped my lungs.This tall british guy looked like he was full of mystery, but curiosity as he approached us. He was wearing something so simple, yet at the same time it made him look like the gods have sent their child for us to admire. He was wearing black vans along with black skinny jeans, and an vintage white and black 3 quarters sleeve with Memphis May Fire printed on the front shirt along with a blue beanie. His Jet black hair fell so perfectly over his grey eyes, it was almost mesmerizing...
He reminded me of a siren. Creatures who were considered to be alluring and fascinating but also dangerous in some way.
"No, we're ok right Juliet?" Johnny cooled down, realizing he went over board.
"Y-yea... we are just having a.. discussion." I said firmly looking at Johnny.
He grinned, "Romeo and Juliet fighting because the Capulets and the Montagues won't let you guys be together? Discussing how you two must drink the poison to be together forever?"
My mouth dropped, was he being serious?
"Dude, please don't. I appreciate your concern but could you leave us to be, we have things to discuss."
"Woah, mate, chill, didn't mean to stir things up here, I just saw this young lady getting grabbed forcefully, just wanted to know if the lovely lady was alright?" He raised an eyebrow at me.
Johnny scoffed, I rolled my eyes at him and looked towards the british guy, "Yes... thank you for your concern. We were just... in a discussion. Thank you." I said dismissing him.
He looked over at Johnny and grind but when he looked over at me there was something different in his eyes... who was he? He wasn't from here i could tell, captain obvious.
He shrugged and turned towards the beach, walking down to the port where the ambiance seem to be so much better than being here. Funny how only a few minutes ago I wanted this moment to last forever.
"Juliet I'm sorry... I didnt mean to hurt you I was just... frustrated that you can't seem to get--"
"Get that what we had was gone and this breakup was way past due? Nah... I get it.--"
"Juli--"
"No, Jonny, really... I'm being serious. I'm just upset because I'm losing my best friend, and I hate myself for ruining our friendship. You and I both know that ever since we both started college and going our separate ways we were only with each other because this," I said pointing between us. "What we had was something beautiful and neither you or I wanted that to end but its done. Like you said... I have dreams and you have dreams and neither one of us sees each other in our dreams." I said seriously. I could tell I pulled a string by the look on his face. I may have been blunt about it but i was tired of living a fake life with him. Even though it killed me letting go of a person like him... he's right, we both grew up and have different priorities and as much as I love him, I want him to be happy.
"Coco..." he said letting go of my hand. "its time..."
At that point I knew that all was lost between us.
We would leave not only being ex-boyfriend/girlfriend... but ex-bestfriends. Never to see each other from this point on because if we ever did, I would fear that this "comfortable" feeling we have would want to crawl back in us and get back together and just, live it safe.
Neither of us wanted that.
"I guess so right? Im sorry I made you angry." I apologized.
"I'm sorry too... we had a good run right? I hope that maybe someday when we meet up again you will have family on your own, with lots of gold, silver and platinum records and possibly be the next Phil Collins of this generation, but the girl version... I love you so much that I know letting you go is the right thing." He forced a smile, this wasn't easy for any of us.
"And I hope that the next time we meet, you have your doctrines and become one of the most prestigious and successful heart surgeon there is. Maybe see you with those 10 kids you want to have, and the beautiful wife you've always wanted... I wish you the best. Honestly... I do." I said as my throat began to burn, and my vision became blurry from the tears threatening to escape my eyes.
"Don't cry Juliet. We had a good run. Now we just need to find ourselves and do whatever it is that makes us happy..." He looked at his watch and frowned. "You need to promise me that you're going to open your heart and love. And learn to trust. Not everyone in this world is horrible, I don't want you to miss any chances."
I looked up at him and frowned but quickly forced a smile. "Ok." I lied.
"No. That's not enough. You need to promise me that you will at least try to let love in and follow your heart."
I swallowed hard. I can't promise him that, but it's the only thing he is asking of me, "Fine. I'll try my best." I lied again. I couldn't have him leave worrying if I was going to survive on my own.
This wasn't easy for any of us because since day one, we were like paper and glue.
"I guess its time for you to catch your flight... you better go..." I said trying to keep my snot in my nose, acting like him leaving wasn't a big deal.
"Yeah... I should... do you want me to--"
"Nah, dont worry about it, I'll call Jace and he'll be over here in no time. Just go before I start balling my eyes out in front of you." Isaid trying to stay as strong as possible, with a faded smile.
He tried to lean in for a hug but I stopped him and shook my head. "Just go..." I looked at him dead in the eyes.
With that he stood with me few more second, until he sighed and turned around and began to walk away. I felt tears slide down both my cheeks, breakups were never easy, even if it was mutual, if thats even possible. But they were never easy when it involved your best friend... the guy who you thought you were going to marry, the guy who knew all your deepest darkest secrets, the guy who knew all your desires and wishes. But like he said, things change, and people change... he had a once in a life time oppertunity to move forward with his dreams... it was only fair right?
He stopped a few feet from me and turned his head slightly, "Goodbye Copeland Quinn... I hope you have a great life... I mean it." with that he continued to walk to his car.
My heart shattered into a billion pieces, no one really in my family ever called me Copeland. It was always either Coco, Jules or Juliet. But when they did... meant it something serious.
I turned around and sat on the boulder next to me facing the ocean and the sunset that was filled with warm yellows, oranges and red. Funny how everything looked so warm, yet felt so cold.
Tears began to stream down my face. My whole life I've waited for someone to come to my rescue and love me because I was Juliet Copland Quinn. Not because I was Quinns daughter... but because Coco...
I guess Iwas going to have to wait right?Wait it out...
I was hurting more for losing my best friend than my boyfriend...
He was my everything.
