Prologue
Dearest Tori,
This is the hardest thing I've ever had to write. Yes it is harder than writing a "chick flick", but only because this letter means goodbye. It's so, so, so complicated, things are happening right now that are beyond my control. I have to disappear for a while. Please forgive me, my love. I don't want to go, but because of these things, I have to. I am so, so, so sorry. Just know I love you more than anything in the world. Remember that when times get hard. Don't forget me.
I will always love you,
Jade
Jade had never expected this to be so hard. The letter was stained with fresh tears, and they streamed down her cheeks as she sealed it. She didn't want to leave Tori but as she had said in the letter, things are happening that are beyond her control. Because yes things are happening and they are beyond her control. And no matter how much Jade wishes she didn't have to leave, she has to.
Jade drops the letter off on Tori's doorstep on the way to the airport. She catches her flight to England in tears. She sleeps lightly, jerking awake at every little noise, things are hard and they are only going to get harder. She lands, grabs her luggage, and catches a cab to her little apartment in Liverpool. Jade bought the apartment before these things happened because she knew that it would happen at some point. She opens the door and is greeted by silence, a silence that will be her only company for a long while.
She sleeps heavily that night and wakes up regretfully, wishing she could sleep forever. Dragging herself to the kitchen she grudgingly makes herself an omelet while she practices her accent. Pulling on her coat, she walks out into the cold November air, her heart aches. She can't do this…she needs Tori, she needs Tori so much. She needs Tori to kiss it better, and all Jade wants to do is hold Tori and never let her go. But she can't, she's a billion miles away in Liverpool, England.
"Fuck" Jade curses sharply, dropping to her knees in the snow. She can't do this, she can't, she just can't. Oh but she has to, she knew this was coming. But forever couldn't be enough time to prepare her for being away from Tori. The worst part is; Jade doesn't know when she's going to see Tori again. The thought of that kills her and she starts to sob silently, alone in the cold November air.
Some things just can't last forever.
