Lucy’s POV
I am walking to meet uncle
It’s been a long time since I talked to him
Last time was when I told him about Andy and I starting to date
He didn’t even know who was Andy
On-campus, all the students call each other names that aren’t really their real ones
But teachers don’t know about it
He didn’t seem much surprised, he told me Andy was always popular with girls
I don’t want my Andy to be liked by other girls
Am I being the possessive type?
No, it’s just normal to care that much about your boyfriend
And other girls can never get close as much as I got to him
I told him about me sleeping with another person!!!
If that isn’t close I don’t know what is
I open the door to the principal’s office
I find as I usually do
Buried in piles of papers on his desk
“Good evening uncle”
“Oh, Lucy, Good evening, As un-ladylike as ever, are you aware of the idea of knocking”
“Ah, sorry, you texted there is something important you won't talk about”
“Yes as a matter of fact there is. Take a seat”
I sat on the chair in front of him
“You do know that your visa is nearly up”
“Oh yeah right, I must get it revalidated then return. So I will have to go to America for a few weeks”
“Yes it is about that”
“So how long do I have to stay there. I was hoping it won’t be long because, you know, I will miss—“
“You won’t have to worry about that because your return is canceled”
...
...
“What?!”
“Your Aunt Elen has decided to be your guardian”
“What?!, Why, she refused when I needed a guardian the most”
“She refused because her house wasn’t spacious enough to support two persons, It took unexpectedly long for her to find a buyer”
“But I don’t want to live with her. I am perfectly happy here”
“I think you aren’t aware of the situation you are in, this isn’t a choice Lucy”
“Please I beg you, I want to stay here”
“I am sorry but it’s for the best”
I am in tears now
Why?
Why is this happening to me?
I have my everything here
I can’t think of myself saying goodbye to my friends
Miles, Sara, and most of all Andy
The one I love
The one who loves me
“When will I leave?”
“Three days from now”
What?!
“Uncle, why do I have to leave that fast”
“I had to because flights were already booked because of Christmas”
Christmas
This was going to be my first Christmas Eve when I won’t be alone after my mom died
We were going to have so much fun
Again, tears
I stood up and started to walk towards the door
“One more thing”
“What?”
“I am sorry, I really am”
I know you are
That’s what I wanted to say
I left the room
I moved with fast pace and long strides
Before I realized it I was running
~
Andy’s POV
I am here with Lucy again
Holding hands and watching the setting sun
I knew a kiss will be coming
The last time her tongue touched my lips
Ugh
I know that it’s a common practice among couples
But still, I am not ready yet
I think I am the girl in this relationship
She is the boy forcing me to do things I don’t want to do
No, that’s sexist
“Andy, I want to tell you something important”
“Huh?”
“M-my visa is nearly up”
Her voice is cracking and stammering
“Really”
“Yeah, I was first planning to go there then get it revalidated then r-return”
“First?”
“My u-uncle called me in his office today, He ca-called me today”
I don’t know what she is talking about
I don’t want to know what she is talking about
I don’t like where this is going
No
I am just imagining thing
It must be that she won’t be going at all
Then why is it important
“I won’t be returning”
...
There
She said it
She said it with a straight face avoiding eye contact
My face would be shocked right now
“Why?” I whispered
“My aunt w-will be taking me under her care, My uncle said it’s for the best”
“...”
I hugged her
Tight
I kissed her neck
I don’t know what is happening
I just want to make sure she is here
With me
“I know it’s hard for you,” she said
No
That’s not it
“I know it’s harder for you”
She sniffed
She is leaving
I never imagined this
I knew she would be leaving after graduation
But not this early
At best she will stay here for another 3 months
“When are you leaving?” I said gloomily
“Three days from now”
HUH?!
“That’s really early, isn’t it?”
“Yes, I know,” She said wiping tears from her face
I know she must be really sad right now
“We won’t be able to celebrate Christmas together”
“Yeah, I was really looking forward to it”
I am making her even sadder
I have to lighten the mood
“Then let’s make these three days worthwhile,” I said enthusiastically
“Yes”
We kissed
This time I didn’t react like I did last time when her tongue touched my lips
I found out that I am really bad at kissing
~
Lucy’s POV
I have said my goodbye to Andy and Sara
Now only Miles remain
Honestly, I don’t know how to face him
I am on the roof with Andy
“I will visit you in America,” Andy said
“How?”
“I will be living there in the future”
What does he mean by that?
OH!
He will visit me than live with me
“Hey, Andy”
“Yeah”
“I am not so sure about marriage. That’s too early for me. I am not saying that I don’t want to marry you but just that... We are just high scholars so, We still have a lot of life to live”
He burst into laughter
It seems I largely misunderstood
“I was saying that I going to get a job there”
“Why America”
“It’s better than India”
“So just for money not for me”
“I know that you will forget about me”
Ouch
That hurts a little
“I promise that I will not have a boyfriend”
“And so she said”
“No really, I have been meaning to tell you this before I leave...”
You can do this Lucy!!
I have been waiting for this
I remember all the moments we have spent together
Then I double-check my feelings
Yup
Still as strong as it were yesterday
“I love you!!!”I shouted
I didn’t need to shout but I couldn’t possibly have said it normally
I look at his face
It was confusing
“We are just teenagers”
“No, this one’s a true love”
“Really”
“I will wait for you”
He sighed a little
I really do feel that way
I will patiently wait for him
I will also be attractive and successful
So he will let me be his number one
“I will try my best to get a job there, until then wait for me”
A smile appeared on both of our face
“How are you going to say goodbye to Miles”
Miles
He hasn’t been talking to me at all
“I don’t know”
“Want me to do it for you”
“No, I don’t want to have no regrets, I will do it when we get back from dinner”
“Ok”
A dirty thought appeared in my mind
“Can you do me a favor”
I held his hands in a seductive way
My breasts are touching his arms
‘Too close’
I am sure he must be thinking that
You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.
“Yeah, tell me”
“You know I am not a virgin”
“And what about it”
“Want to do it with me?”
“Isn’t that illegal”
“Come on, nobody will know”
“No”
I was serious
I haven’t felt anything while doing it with Zach
Probably because I didn’t love him
But I am really sure I will feel lots of things while doing it with Andy
“Please, I want to make good memories with you”
“If you want to make good memories with me make some memories which will make you happy when you think about them not horny and wet”
“You are so vulgar”
“Not as much as you are, attacking an innocent boy with your seductive body”
“Thank you very much”
Another dirty thought
“At least lick my boo-“
“Hey!”
“Ok I will stop”
“Finally”
“Want to see me nake-?“
He got up without saying anything
“Ok, I will stop just don’t leave~,” I said laughing
Miles’s POV
I know she is leaving
I know that I am probably never going to meet her again
But I can’t talk
I just can’t
Whenever I turn my face to talk to her the words choke up in my throat
She did a horrible thing to us
To me
Andy is on her side
I am all alone
Anyway, who is she? Suddenly appearing out of nowhere and saying that we are friends. Then acting like this and betraying
What’s up with her?
Friends like her are unnecessary
I should focus on doing this question
I should forget her
I should...
Then
Why
Then why does it hurt so much
Then why do I get a feeling that I will regret this
Why am I crying?
She has been trying to speak with me
But every time she does I ignore her
Some nerve she has for trying to talk to me after she did that to me
I am so angry
I am so mad
But I am not so good either
And I am not so glad
I rhyme to relax
That’s a thing even Andy doesn’t know about me
Today she will leave
I can’t rhyme anything with that
Just like I couldn’t rhyme with
I can never meet my uncle again
And
I will never get a chance to say to the grandmother that I don’t hate her
“Miles”
Again
How she dare call my name
“I am going to leave in 15 minutes”
I won’t answer
I won’t give in to this feeling of regret
“Just... know that I am sorry”
No, you are not!!!
“I know that you are angry at me and you have every right to be”
Damn, right I do
“Sorry and...Goodbye”
She left
~
Andy’s POV
“Be sure to call me when your flight lands okay”
“Yeah”
“Be sure to call me when you reach your aunt’s house”
“Yeah”
“Be sure to text me in the middle of the flight only when they allow it, the plane can catch fire”
“Yeah mom”
I really am worried
“Now my turn,” she said
“Be sure to limit your laptop time”
“Ok”
“Remember don’t go cheating on my back”
“You know that I won’t”
“That includes Anime girls too”
“Noooooo”
“Yeeeees”
“Ok”
“Pick up my phone when I call you every night”
“Ok”
“And... Oh yeah”
She drew closer and whispered in my ears
“I know that it won’t be easy but I will give my best in pictures”
“What pictures?...OH!”
“Get it?”
“Please don’t, hackers can see it”
“Ok”
“Oh yeah...”I drew closer “Wait for me”
She smiled
“I will”
She got into the taxi waiting at the school gate
“Goodbye, Lucy!!! I know we will meet again”
“Goodbye, Andy!!! We will”
She got into the taxi and it started moving
I started crying
I don’t know when I will meet her
I don’t know how I will meet her
But I know that I will
Meet her!!!
GOODBYE LUCY!!!
~
Miles’s POV
I have always found things like these unnecessary
And believe me, I still do
Friendship
Love
The only goal in my life was to follow a straightforward life
I will be what I am expected to be
I will graduate from this school
Then go to a college or a university
Then get a decent job
Then I will probably be forced to marry someone
I originally thought I won’t but after meeting Sara there is still hope
Obviously, there is little chance of us marrying
But I found out that I can too, fall in love
Then we will have kids who I will raise strictly for studying and achieving a higher economical status than me
Then they will teach that to their kids
That is how, one day, my descendants will be Millionaires if not billionaires
There is no time for goofing off with friends
There is no time enjoying yourselves
My philosophy is straightforward-‘You have two choices in life on when to take the pain’
If you take pain in childhood and study hard then your whole life will be spent in enjoyment
If you enjoy your childhood then be prepared for the struggle to come
I took the former
I find it difficult to enjoy when I know trouble is coming later
Rather it’s better to suffer when you know that good times are coming
I am going to do suffer
Enjoyment is unnecessary
But
Still
This too is unnecessary
What I am doing is unnecessary too
For all my life I have avoided things like selfishness, greed, and closure
Then why
Then why now?
Why am I running?
I don’t know
I don’t have a reason
But
I think I heard Andy saying this before
‘Friendship is a thing which is beyond reason
I think that may be the reason why I am climbing stairs
All the moments we have spent together
We really were good friends
I had like to keep it that way
I don’t want to have any regrets
I see it
I see the road illuminated by the setting sun
I see it
The car in which she is sitting
“LUCY!!! GOODBYE!!!”
I shout at the top of my lungs waving my hand
I am sure if somebody saw me he must really think I am insane
But
I don’t care what people say
I don’t
It’s unnecessary but it’s
I can’t explain it in words
I can’t
It’s unnecessary but it’s FRIENDSHIP
I now know what it is
Thanks to him
Thanks to her
Thanks to both of you
I will cherish this moment in my heart
If only
If only she will look
If only she will see
It’s all fate now
Isn’t it always fate?
~
Andy’s POV
“That bas-“
“Language! He could have done it normally” Principle said looking at Miles
“Well a lot of things happened between those two”
“I see”
“The question is will she see it?”
I look at the car which is nearly out of view now
There is no head popping out
After ten seconds or so it will turn into the tunnel which connects this road to the main highway
In short, he only has ten seconds
One(no response)
Two(no response)
Three(no response)
Four(no response)
Five(no response)
Six(no response)
Seven(no response)
Eight(no response)
Nine(no response)
Ten
I close my eyes and listened
...
Nothing
The car is out of sight now
I turn back and nod to Miles
He did what he could
He looked down from above
He is smiling
And waving
“GOODBYE!!! MILES!!!”
She did listen
And we did too
We listened to her talk
