After I recollected myself we sat on the couch in silence staring at the blank T.V. My heart was still shattered that Owl would just get so mad at me for something so small and leave... I've known her for years now and she gets mad over that? I run my fingers through my hair. What am I supposed to do? We shared this apartment together. She was my best friend, my sister and now she was gone. She helped me through my parents death, the bullying at school, every bad thing that happened she was there and every good thing she was there.... Tears stung my eyes again.

'No don't cry again.' I said sternly to myself in my head. I ran my hand over my face then plopped my hands in my lap and played with them. My own best friend walked out on me. I couldn't take it anymore and let a couple tears roll down my cheeks, I don't want to look like I am seeking attention so I don't sob like I did before. I wiped the tears away. Silence filled the room more making me fidget nervously.

"I should um... get back to see um if Bella yeah." He said standing up. I nodded my head as he headed towards the door.

"Wait." I called out before he opened the door. I stood up and walked over to him and wrapped my arms around his torso. He hesitantly wrapped his arms around my shoulders.

"I'm sorry." I whispered.

"What are you sorry for?" He asked quietly.

"Crying in front of you." I said. "I must have looked like I just wanted attention..."

"I know you didn't cry for attention Autumn. You cried because you lost your best friend and I'm surprised you didn't cry more. Don't be sorry, I should be sorry." He said. I pulled back to see his face.

"Why are you sorry?" I ask.

"For not talking to you for six years, for not texting or calling you back, for not visiting you. And especially for forgetting you." He whispered.

"Don't be most people forget about me, I am a very forgettable person." I whispered back.

"No it was wrong for me to. I know we used to date and all that and I feel so bad-"

I cut him off. "Don't be sorry, seriously. It's fine as long as you are here now."

"Trust me I will be." He smiled. I gave him a hug once more. I released him.

"Well this is goodbye for now." I said quietly.

"Yeah, goodbye Autumn." He said.

"Bye Thomas." I said. With that he walked out the door and left. I sighed and plopped down on the couch. My best friend was gone. My heart was breaking more and more.

Thomas's P.O.V

            I walked down the street to the café where my car was parked. I couldn't help but remember Autumn's body embracing mine. She wasn't mad at me for forgetting her after six years. How? I have no bloody clue. I reached the café and got into my car. I drove home with Autumn on my mind. She truly did something to me, I don't know what but it made my heart flutter and my body go numb.

"Sometimes you have to go through many heart brakes before you find the one. And when you do they'll mend your heart with theirs and you'll mend theirs with yours." She had said that to me the other night when I was drunk raging over Isabella. Speaking of the devil, I just parked my car in my driveway to see Isabella carrying boxes of stuff and shoving them into her car. Good she's leaving. I know it made my heart ache to see her leave but like Autumn said, she doesn't deserve me. I walked into the house to see all her stuff out into boxes. She completely ignored me as she grabbed another box. I went into our bedroom and saw our, my bed gone. That's fine by me; she can have that infested bed. I sighed and looked out the window. What am I supposed to do? She was my best friend, my love and now she is gone. I stood looking out the window. The sky was grey and it looked like it was going to snow. I heard footsteps behind me and I didn't turn around.

"I got the last box." Isabella said behind me.

"Ok." Is all I said.

"Well I guess this is goodbye..." She said.

"Yeah, I guess so." I shrugged.

"I'm truly sorry Thomas I never meant to hurt you." She said. I turned around to face her. She stood in the doorway tears making her eyes shimmer.

"Then what were you trying to do? Make me happy?" I snapped.

"No, just I'm sorry Thomas. I love you, you do know that right." She said.

"I don't know anymore and frankly I don't care." I said coldly. My heart was breaking more.

"I'm sorry. Goodbye Thomas." She said quietly.

"Goodbye Isabella." I said. She let a tear fall then turned and left out the door.

I slumped down on the floor. My heart was breaking. I let my best friend, the girl of my dreams slip out of my life. Was she the girl of my dreams? I sighed and got off the floor. I went to the closet and rummaged through old albums of photos of us. I smiled as I saw a picture of us with the other cast of 'The Maze Runner'. Suddenly three pictures fell out of the back of the book. I picked them up and stared at them carefully. The first one was of myself, younger maybe 18 with a strawberry blonde, beautiful girl that looked to be only a couple years younger then me, in the picture. We were smiling, her green eyes shining bright with happiness and mine with joy. I smiled and looked at the next one. This time it was me about 18 years old with the same girl but we were kissing. Both of our eyes were closed, I was smiling in the kiss. I looked at the last picture. It was the strawberry blonde girl lying down in a beautiful meadow. She was smiling and staring at the camera. Her eyes shone bright and the sun was making her skin glow beautifully. Then it hit me. This was Autumn.

Autumn's P.O.V

I got tired of mopping around on the couch so I got up and went into our little storage room. I grabbed the nearest photo album and flipped through the pictures of Owl and I. I giggled at the one of us in the Halloween store wearing werewolf masks. I kept flipping through the pictures until I came to the last page. It had a few pictures in it. The first one I grabbed was of me maybe 16 years old with a younger version of Thomas. We smiled at the camera, our eyes bright with happiness. I remember this day. I smiled and flipped through the other pictures. I came across one of us kissing. Thomas was smiling in the kiss and I giggle at it. I grabbed the last picture it was of him sitting on a log smiling down at the camera. The sun cascaded down on his golden brown hair making it look absolutely beautiful. I put the pictures away and went back to the couch. I stared up at the ceiling. Today was good until Owl came along. Oh god I can't think of her right now... I don't want to think right now. I went into my room and grabbed my duffel bag full of my old ballet things. I haven't been to the dance studio in forever so why not? I need to get my mind off of things.

            I got to the dance studio and changed into my leotard and tutu. Teehee I am wearing a tutu. The studio was empty and I liked it. It has mirrored rooms and hard wood floors. I loved this place. I grabbed my phone and put on 'Fly On' by Coldplay. I sighed and turned the volume up. I started dancing the way I do only to calm me.

            Once I was finished dancing and calmed down a bit, I changed back into my normal clothes and went home. I put my stuff in my room and plopped down on the couch. My head was clear for now, all the drama and crap was just pushed back in my head. I sighed. What am I going to do?
