It has been 2 years since me and Riven broke up. It has been 2 years since Riven left, but i never stopped thinking about him.
The other girls have moved forward with their boyfriends, but i'm still standing still, single and lonely.
I chose this life for me because me and Riven's relationship was toxic, but he's still my first love.
And after a while, i started to wonder how he's doing, and that lead me to think about him more often. I tried to push the feeling away, i've tried to distract myself in many ways, but it never really worked, or for at least a minute or two.

"So, are we ready to go to the beach?" Stella wondered. The summer season has started, which means Alfea was on Summer break, but that never stopped us friends from seeing each other and spending time with each other, after all, we lived together.
I grabbed my bag off the table and put my sunglasses on.
"Totally, i could use some relaxing after a tough semester." I said. Even though i was considered "the smarter one" of the six along with Flora and Tecna, school was getting harder by the years.
"Time to get ourselves a tan." Stella said. "Well, you don't need one, i need one the most." I checked my skin, compared to Stella i looked like a ghost.
"We all could use some extra tan, it makes my skin look healthy, plus, this fairy of sunshine needs her daily dose of sun."

Tecna spread her towel in the sand, and Bloom and Flora were playing in the sand. Aisha was doing some stretches close to the water.
Stella dropped down in the sand, and grabbed one of her glamour magazines.
"We should have invited the boys." Tecna said. "I haven't seen Timmy in a while."
"It's never too late for a nice summer beach party."
Stella said, and winked at her friend. "When the sun goes down and the music comes on, that's when things will become fun."
"It's never too late for an actual party, if that's what you're onto."
I said. I could use the distraction plus, i haven't had a good party in a long time.
"Great idea! i will take care of the snacks." Flora said. "And i will make sure of the guests. Who's invited and who's not." Bloom said.
"Ofcourse i will take care of the music, and Tecna, you could take care of some nice light effects." I said.
"I'm onto it!" Tecna gave her friend a thumbs up.
"I will make sure everybody is entertained." Aisha said.
"And all i have to do is just dance and be pretty." Stella said. The girls laughed, Stella loved parties but she hated the preparations for it.

"If you could put the snacks over there, we will have more space for the dancefloor." Aisha told Flora. Bloom used her magic to set up a table for the snacks and drinks. Flora put all the snacks on the table.
"So, i've invited the boys, some new students of Alfea, so they could get to know each other, and some of the friends we've made over the years." Bloom said.
"Good job girl, i'm sure this will be the party of the year." Stella said.
"Hey Stella, what exactly are you doing?" Tecna wondered. Stella hasn't been doing anything since they've started setting up for the party.
"Me? i've got lots of things to do, i have to take care of our outfits! We need to look good."
"Sounds like you've got the hardest task of us all."
Tecna said with a sarcastic tone in her voice.
I giggled.
"This night is going to be fun!" little did i know that this night changed everything, but for the worst? or for the better? It sure as heck was confusing.

"We're just not right for each other." i said. "We need to separate and be friends for now."
"I don't think i can do that." Riven said. "We have no choice, if we're just going to stay together we will ruin each other over and over again."
"But i love you, i can't just be around you and not feel anything." Riven said.
"You think this is easy for me? I just don't want to be in this toxic relationship anymore." My eyes started to water. "These past 5/6 years have been the best years of my life, but i don't think things will ever be the same."
"If that's what you think, then so be it." Riven said. " So... you're just okay with all of this?"
"If this is what you want then i have nothing to say about this." Riven said, crossing his arms. "I was thinking about leaving anyways."
"What? Without even talking to me about it?"
"I just need to work on myself... I've noticed i'm not as focussed as i once used to be." Riven said, as he looked down to the ground. " I don't know for how long i will stay away, but it might be long, if not, forever, depending on how things go."
I was shocked to hear him say this, he planned to leave, even when we were still together. "No... you can't do that... you won't do that."
"Yes, Musa, and since there's no one to stay here for, i have all the right reasons to leave." i heard Riven's voice echo.
"Goodbye Musa." Riven turned around, and slowly walked towards the exit of the school. I just watched him, in disbelief and tears streaming down my face.
As Riven disappeared, I fell down on my knees, and the Winx girls ran up to me , hugging me.
