-Rory-
Finn and I avoided eachother for the first few days after I told him about the letter, but soon we both just chose to try and ignore my leaving and spent as much time together as possible. Time was dwindling down, and before I could even truely grasp it, I was packing me' clothes. Finn still had three weeks of school left but I was told I had to go back a little early. I dreaded the morning of my last day, and when it finally came I woke up with a tear in my eye. 'Today is my last day' the thought kept swirling around in my head as I got ready for school, tonight I would be on a plane home back to Ireland, back to my real family. I didn't want to face Finn, but I knew I would have to at some point. I would have gone to school but my plane was at noon so unless Finn came by, I would see him again.
"Rory, Someone's here for you." Mrs. Pierce knocked on the door and let herself in.
"Who?" I asked preplexed as I closed the suitcase on all the american memories I made. The teddybear Finn had got me disapeared after Britney's cat seemed to be chewing on its paw, Britney probably buthered the little bear and feed it to lord Tummigton... not that shes mean but for reasons that made no sense to anybody but her. The only gift I had been giving by boyfriend was his hoodie. The thought of Finn being my boyfriend made me smile then I realized, today was the very last day I would ever see him.
"Finn." Mrs. Pierce was sympathetic by the look in her eyes and it made the fact it was my last day in America even harder.
"Hey, Rory." I would know his voice even if we were in a hurricane. I looked past Mrs. Pierce and he stood leaning against the door frame, sadness filled his eyes.
"I'll give you boys a minute alone." Mrs. Pierce stepped around finn and then it was just us. We stood there for a minute, the silence falling around us in a cold emptiness.
"So... got all your stuff packed?" Finn asked trying not to say what we both knew he wanted to say.
"Yea..." I looked back at the packed suitcase and couldn't find the words I wanted to say. Before I could turn back around to face him a felt a strong pair of arms wrap themselves around me, and I couldn't help but squeeze him back.
"I'm gonna miss you Rory." His voice was cracking as I could feel his arms tightening around me. I was trying hard not to cry with very little success.
"I'm gonna miss you too." I tried keeping my voice even. I felt warm tears pour down my cheek and onto his shirt.
"Rory, I l-" He started but I cut him off.
"Please, Finn don't say it. If you do I won't ever be able to move on after I leave." another sob broke through my voice and he held me tightly. I didn't want to leave, I didn't, but I knew I had to I had to go back to Ireland and back to my real family. That thought haunted me as we drove to the airport. Mr. and Mrs. Pierce were in the front seats while Britney sat next to the window and I sat in the middle next to Finn who refused to let go of my hand until he had to. The process to get back on the plane took way shorter then I remembered and Finn and I dread the moment when I would have to leave. The moment arrived and we all knew it so I hugged the Pierce family good bye then finaly got to Finn. His eyes were streaming tears but he didn't make a sound. He held on to me desperatly and I didn't ever want this to end, I never wanted this moment to end. Even over the roar of the buzy people who were rushing around I heard a piano playing and in my heart I sang a song I wish he could hear.
Some things we don't talk about Rather do without And just hold the smile Falling in and out of love Ashamed and proud of Together all the while.(I looked up at him and his eyes told me everthing I wanted to see. He wanted to be with me, but he knew we couldn't.)
You can never say never While we don't know when But time and time again Younger now than we were before (In my mind I could Finn sing the next verse with me.)
Don't let me go Don't let me go Don't let me go [x2.]
Picture, you're the queen of everything As far as the eye can see Under your command I will be your guardian When all is crumbling To steady your hand.
You can never say never While we don't know when Time, time, time again Younger now than we were before.
Don't let me go Don't let me go Don't let me go [x2.]
We're pulling apart and coming together again and again We're growing apart but we pull it together, pull it together, together again.
Don't let me go Don't let me go Don't let me go [x4.]
The piano ended and Finn kissed me with all of his feeling. A tear streaked down his face as many streamed down mine and I all but ran away from him and toward the plane. I cried all the way home.
-Finn-
He was gone. I knew that but the pain remained, it killed me to let him go like that. The Pirece's drove me home in silence and as I got out at my house Britney got out of the car with me, she first hugged me tightly, and wordlessly. Then she opened the trunk of her car.
"Finn, he wanted me to give this to you once he was gone." She pulled out a large white hoodie with a red stripe on the one selvee and a black stripe on the other selvee, the exact same hoodie I gave him. I took it solemnly and totaly shut out the world until I safely hiding away in my room, the tears didn't stop as I held the hoodie close to me which had his scent of spring morning drowning it. I think I sat there and just cried like a little bitch forever but after some point I finally figured it out. The gears of my mind started turning and then I realized what I had to do. I wanted him back, and I would do whatever it took no matter how long it would take.
