See You In My Dreams (Gusion x Lesley)

Chapter Twenty Eight

I just realized that this song fits this story– well, especially the chorus. Try to listen, it's a good song but it will hurt you. HAHAHA.

Second to the last chapter before Epilogue :)

What an idiot you are, Lesley. She told herself while driving, trying to find his car to follow him but it was nowhere in sight.

"Don't cry, you don't have the rights to cry." Lesley reprimanded herself.

And now, she didn't know where to find Gusion. She knew it was her fault, but she didn't know it would turn out like this.

I mean, it's better to keep that a secret now that he was already happy, right? I don't want to bother him anymore.

She stopped when she reached that beach where she and Gusion went on their first day but there was no sight of him, not even his car.

After wandering for a couple of minutes, hoping to find him but there was no luck, she went back to her car and sat on the driver's seat, thinking of the places where he could possibly went to.

"I'm pretty sure it would not be his penthouse–" Her eyes widened upon realization, "Could it be..."

She started her engine and drove off.

=====

Lesley stopped the car in front of a very familiar place.

The place where it all began.

She went to the gate and tried to open it but it was locked.

"Right, it's almost eight in the evening. Of course it's closed. Dumb Lesley." She told herself.

She held on the gate and climbed up so she could enter the school.

The school where she died.

Despite not setting her feet in this place for a long, it seemed that her feet remembered the way to the old laboratory where that accident happened.

And there, she saw Gusion, standing in front of the laborating, blankly staring as if he was drowned in his own thoughts.

Lesley carefully took a step near Gusion but she stopped on her tracks when he spoke.

"Five years ago, it confused me when on that day, I woke up in my car in front of this school." Gusion said while still staring at the laboratory that you won't think it was burned years ago. "I mean, I know this is where Nana studied and that time the graduation was already done few months before so why I was there?"

"Everyday, I woke up from my sleep, feeling that there's a large hole in my heart that no one could ever fill." He let out a dry laugh, "In those five years, I didn't even know how to feel genuine happiness. I mean– yeah, my father and I became okay, I have my mother and little sister, but still, something is lacking in me. I felt I missed someone I don't even know who."

Lesley felt a lump in her throat as she was just staring at him. Her tears pooled in her eyes.

Gusion slowly looked at her direction, "Until I met you on that night when you picked up Harley. Just a sight of you and I... I felt complete. It was as if you filled that huge hole in my heart." He smiled sadly, "I thought you mean something to me, not to mention we just met that day."

"Gusion–"

"I can't explain when I learned that we have already met before– that you were my girlfriend– so that was why I missed someone I don't even know who and why I felt you complete me. It was you all along, Lesley." Gusion smiled bitterly, "Imagine how painful it is when I learned all along that you knew who I was. I am willing to create new memories with you so why push me away? Don't you want to be with me?"
