Thanks for the reviews everyone. Sorry about the big cliffy in the first chapter, I know some didn't like that. Just so you know this story might not be as good as you think, but I'm going to post all the chapters so everyone's happy and I can get some feedback.
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters, AGATB or RA they belong to LB.
A/N: I changed the title of the story to just Sunrise because later on it will fit into the story better.
Chapter 2"Gemma, I'm leaving."
As soon as those three words left his mouth, I felt as if my heart was being ripped to shreds right in front of my face.
"What?" I asked to make sure I had heard him clearly.
"I'm going back to India, Gemma. I've realized that London's not for me, I don't belong here. You had to know I would leave someday and now that you're no longer in danger it is as good a time as any to leave."
All I could think about while he was telling me why he was leaving was that maybe he didn't like me as a friend anymore and this was the easiest way to get away from me. Kartik seemed to understand what I was thinking and banished that thought completely.
"It's not you Gemma, you know that, you're the only reason I want to stay." Kartik stopped and looked at me and gave me the most beautiful smile and said, " I've grown rather fond of you over the past few month's, Gem."
As Kartik said that my eyes filled with tears and I knew that if I didn't leave soon, he would see me fall to pieces.
But the tears came anyway and I told Kartik goodbye and left before he could see the tears pouring out of my eyes.
As I walked away I felt miserable. I hated the way I left without a proper goodbye.
As I got closer and closer to Spence all these thoughts were racing through my head.
'Gemma you are so bloody stupid! How could you just leave like that? What are you doing Gem? Stop, Gem and go back to him.'
And for the first time in a long time I listened to what my heart was saying and ran as fast as I could to say goodbye to the best friend I ever had.
A/N: I was going to stop here, but decided to finish this part, so the next chapter wouldn't be so short.
When I got to the edge of the woods I had to walk and it seemed like it took forever. I finally got to the camp and I could see Kartik sitting in the same spot I vacated not too long ago. His was sitting there with his head in his hands. His shoulders were shaking with quiet sobs and I felt absolutely terrible knowing this was all my fault.
I ran the short distance to Kartik and he finally noticed me and stood up just as I threw my arms around his neck and hugged him with everything I had in me.
Kartik was shocked to begin with, but he finally wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me into his chest.
I pulled away, so I could look into his eyes when I told him that I couldn't let him leave without saying a proper goodbye.
We talked for what seemed like hours and Kartik finally noticed how late it was and told me I should get back. I didn't want to go, but I stood up anyway. I looked at Kartik's eyes again and I saw something that I had never seen there before. I didn't pay it any mind at the time.
"What time are you leaving," I asked Kartik.
"At sunrise."
I nodded and gave him another hug and kissed his cheek as I pulled away. Wanting nothing more than to kiss his lovely mouth instead
I told him goodbye and walked away from the only man I'd ever loved.
A/N: There's more after this, so don't be angry with me. Hopefully this wasn't bad and maybe Kartik wasn't too OOC. Please review and I will post the next chapter shortly.
