At Elizabeth's house, she's in her room talking on the phone. But she quickly stopped as Love entered the room. "Why didn't you come to the airport to say bye to Josh?" Love asked seriously, "I didn't want to go." She replied still looking at her phone, "do you realize how you just hurt him right," Love remarked crossing her arms, "What, it's not like he's going to die if I didn't say bye to him. Plus he doesn't have any right to be hurt, back in our relationship did he think how his cheating behavior was hurting me!" She remarked as she placed her phone, "Girl please, how many times does he have to that he has changed? He's done everything to gain your trust back but this is how you treat him! He is your boyfriend for god's sake!" Love exclaimed, "Point of correction his not my boyfriend anymore, I already broke up with him last night." Elizabeth stated, "Are you serious!" Love shouted, "What, what's the point of dating someone who is far away from you? Plus we all know how he is going to find another person there." Elizabeth remarked, "Ugh! Sometimes I don't get you. You know what I'll leave you to think about all of this!" Love said angrily as she walked out of the room.
Elizabeth sat on her bed and wondered how everything turned out this way. After a few minutes, she got up and picked up her phone, trying to call Josh. But it went straight to voicemail. She dialed his number again, she thought he might just be busy or something. The same thing happened again. She tried calling him once more. He didn't pick up.
"I guess he doesn't want to talk to me anymore." She sighed as she slumped in her bed. "But I can't help myself from thinking about him." She thought.
She felt lonely. Her heart was crying in pain. But she couldn't do anything about it. It was all her fault, she chased him away when it was the last time that she would ever see him, and she regretted that she didn't go and say her final bye to him. Now that Josh was in New York she had nobody.
"Maybe I should start thinking about other guys." She said to herself. Maybe I should try finding someone else." She thought, "but what if I fall in love with them too?" She asked herself. "What if I end up hurting them like I did Josh? What will happen then?" She wondered. The next morning she woke up feeling gloomy. She had been dreaming of Josh the whole night. She kept thinking of him. But she knew that there was nothing she could do now. She was going to miss him very much.
She got up and began to make breakfast for herself. As she was cooking she saw a letter lying on the table. It was a letter that Josh had given to her and she hadn't read it yet. There were so many things she wanted to say to him. But she didn't know where to begin.
After eating her breakfast she opened the letter, inside it she found some pictures and letters of hers that Josh had kept in his wallet. There was also a small poem that he had written for her. It was titled, 'To My Angel'.
It said:
'Baby,
As I sit here in the airplane I want to tell you one more time,
How much I love you. Even though we're not together anymore I want you to know that you're the only person that I love with my whole heart. You mean everything to me and I will never forget you. I promise you that no matter where I am or what I'm doing, I'll always be thinking about you. I love you Elizabeth.
Never let me go.
I Love You.'
That evening Elizabeth sat outside her house, staring at the stars. She sat there quietly until finally, she heard footsteps behind her, she turned around to see who it was. Love was standing there, with ice cream in her hand. "Hey, why are you here?" Elizabeth asked confused.
"I came to see you." Love responded, "Are you alright? Are you sad because of Josh?"
Elizabeth nodded her head, "Yeah I am a little bit. How did you find me here?" She asked, Love smiled at her and gently put down the ice cream container and sat beside her.
"Well...I don't know. I was just walking and then I saw you sitting here and I just wanted to come over and talk to you." Love replied. "Thanks." Elizabeth said."Why did you break up with him? We're still young, we have plenty of time left." Love asked.
"I know," Elizabeth responded. "But I think our relationship has run its course." She said.
"I wish I knew what to say to you." Love said, "But I don't."
They sat there looking at the moon and talking and eating ice cream. A few hours later they decided to go back into the house. "Thanks for coming over," Elizabeth said. "You're welcome." Love smiled. They walked side by side towards the house.
"So I guess I'll see you tomorrow." Love said.
"Yeah sure, I won't forget to bring the cookies," Elizabeth said happily.
"Alright, I'll see you tomorrow!" Love exclaimed.
"See ya!" Elizabeth responded.
And as she watched her walk away Elizabeth felt a pang of sadness. even after talking to her best friend for hours she still couldn't get Josh out of her head. Josh was the only person that she could feel comfortable with but now that his gone there was no more happy Elizabeth.
That night she went to bed and all she thought about was Josh again. She wished that she could go back to yesterday so she could have said her final goodbye to him and not let him go with the hurtful words she said to him.
