Three weeks before the present

Josh's Pov
She never left
She didn't go back home
And my misery never ended
I couldn't blame anyone for the reason I was feeling this way
But I knew I was feeling it
The next month was torture
I never put a label on it but he made me realize that I was attracted to guys
But seeing him with her...
I don't know it made me want to bury this part of me further down than before
It's one thing seeing the person you love with someone else
But it's another thing when you see them together every day
Seeing the way they look at each other
The way they talk to one another
The way he holds her
The way he doesn't hold you

The sun was beginning to come up after the rain
My window panes we're still covered in water
They weren't just mine before
I walked towards my window and closed my blinds
Blocking out the sun
I wanted to bask in my sadness sometimes it was a relief to let myself be upset rather then trying to force smiles and ignore my feelings
I didn't want the rain to go away
No one understood the thing I'm about to say
But I kind of want a happy depressed day

The Present day

Avani's Pov
He doesn't look at me the way he used to
He isn't mesmerized when he talks to me
He doesn't hold me like he never wants to let go
I imagined coming here and everything being just like how it used to be
But it wasn't
Nothing was
Late at night when he thought I was asleep
He'd always walk to the window plug in his headphones and sit there for hours
One night I stayed up all night to see if he ever came back to lay down
But he never did
He quietly sung to himself the song Mystery of Love
He never once sung a different song
Once he knew I was awake he'd walk back towards me and say
"Babe your finally awake"
That sentence that used to excite me
Now made me question everything
He began to gain under eye bags
He was always out of it
I couldn't keep putting him nor myself through this
Something needed to change

8:55 pm

I couldn't take this anymore
Unless I leave I know that I'm stuck in this misery
I walked towards my closet picking up my backpack from about a year ago
I put some clothes in the bag along with an extra pair of shoes And some cash for the road
I checked my closet again for any necessities I saw something on the ground that I hadn't noticed before
I kneeled down trying to reach it
I pulled it out of the closet and back into the light when I realized what it was
The skirt he had been wearing the day I walked in on him trying it on
It had felt like my heart had split in two when I burst out into tears
"What the hell am I doing?" I cried to myself
Was I really doing this?
I soon remembered why I had thought of the idea in the first place
I love him
So I needed to let him go

The present day

Avani's Pov
I sighed
Anthony had went out with Jaden and Griffin earlier
He was heartbroken and needed them more than anything
But I knew that this was the time
Or else I'd keep holding onto him
I searched the house for a pen and paper and ran back up to his room sitting at his desk

Anthony I love you, but something's been off lately. I was trying to force something I knew wasn't working and I'm sorry. I shouldn't have came unannounced I just hoped that somehow, things could go back to the way they were. But, I know your not in love. Like you used to be. I could see it I could feel it but I was in denial. Your love was a mystery. I never really understood. Yet I traveled the country just to get to you. Anthony I'm going back to stay with my family for a while I don't love you any less but, I think we both know that this isn't working right now. Maybe later in life we can work things out. But I think it's best that we both take some time to figure out who we are first.

My phone went off
My ride was here
I picked up my bags shedding a single tear and walking out the door closing it behind me

Three weeks ago

Josh's Pov
"Guess I'm not the one, like you used to think" I sobbed
The alarm on my phone began to go off
My time was up
I picked up a photo of me and all the boys shoving it in my bag
I looked at the photo booth strip of photos of me and Anthony resting on my table
Knowing it'd be too hard to leave if I kept it with me
I kissed the photo and set it back on the dresser I picked up a sharpie and wrote across it
Your my Elio
I quietly walked down the steps and towards the door looking back one last time before I left
I didn't know where I was going
But I had to go somewhere
I ran
I ran until I came across a bus stop of a bus that was still running
I payed my fair and walked towards the back of the
bus
I watched as the view of the house began to fade
I couldn't handle it anymore
And I know I can make things easier if I just leave

So I'll just run
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Soo I just did something...
I'll be sure to make a fluff chapter after this
Jaden x Ant x Griff like I promised but
If you are ever going through something know that you are loved and if you ever need to talk I'm here
Also today's song was Run by Joji
