"Time for you to go, they are waiting." She whispered as she freed herself from their embrace and stared at his sullen features.

"I don't care. They won't leave me anyway." He insolently said as he hugged her again and buried his face on the crook of her neck and breathed her in, letting her hold him up and keep him together.

His family is going to leave today and live in a new town because his adopted parents wanted to have a new start and leave painful memories behind. He wanted to stay—he wants to stay but he knows he can't because his family needs him and he's too young.

As he squeezed her for the last time, he whispered those three words and finally let go of her. He stared at her and she stared back, as if they are memorizing each other's face. With one last goodbye, he picked up his guitar case, turned around and walked away.


Jace lied on his bed staring at his ceiling adorned with glow in the dark stars. It has been 3 years since he last saw her and held her in his arms. He thought that as time passes by the ache and longing to be with her would lessen but to him it seems that it was getting more painful.

The first year of being apart with her was relatively easy since they exchanged emails regularly however it became less and less and until one day, the exchange of mails stopped. Jace tried to reconnect with her by emailing her but every time he would send a message, it would just return to him. He accepted defeat and from then he gave up.

Will I ever see you again? Jace wondered to himself as he fell into a dreamless sleep.
