Chapter 9: The Broken Engagement
The next few days, Alex has been busy preparing for the break-up. She practiced herself the speech. It's going to be hard but she hoped it will all worth it afterwards.
She met Mason at a small deli just across the street from her apartment. "Hey Mason" she said as she greeted him. He gave her a peck on the cheek "Hello love. Come sit down" and she sat down on the seat beside him
"Shall we order?" Mason ask her as he scanned the menu and called the waiter. They ordered and Alex thought to herself "Now is the time. Tell him or else it'd be too late"
She coughed and said "uhm, Mason. The reason why I want to meet you today is because I want to break it off. Our engagement I mean" and he said "But why? Is it because of that Justin guy because if its him I'll go to that Substation and tell him to leave you alone" he said "No, no, no. its not about him. Well actually it is." and he said "Alright. Just explain then"
"Okay. I'm getting there" and the waiter came to the table bringing their food. "as you were saying?" he said and she gulped and said "The thing is I have been in love with him waaay back when we were even together. Back in High School" and he just kept quiet so she continued to speak.
"You see when he and Juliet were together I was really heartbroken so I left. But about a year and a half ago, someone from the past came to haunt me. It was Juliet. She told me to come back to New York. So I did." and she stopped to drink her water "So anyways I started the music class right and one day there was this girl. Alex."
"yeah. She looks a lot like Justin. So every single week after class she would ask me these questions. So I answered her truthfully and soon I found out her dad is Justin. So I was invited to meet him and we celebrated Thanksgiving and Christmas together."
"I also went to a New Year's Eve party with Justin at Times Square. I actually got drunk, had sex with him and the next morning he ask me about the ring on my finger and I told him I was engaged. So I know but his expression he was devastated. I couldn't help it."
"I haven't heard from him nor from Alex for months. We lost contact. I tried going to find them but they were nowhere to be seen. According to Justin's mom, he and Alex went to California for the Summer."
So about a few days ago. Alex planned this GNO with Harper and Gigi. I didn't realize it was all a plan to get the both of us together. So I being the fool just sat there at the deli and were forced to listen to Alex and my other pupils singing a Kelly Clarkson song. The both of us were left afterwards and that's were he told me we really are meant to be."
"Don't be angry Mason. I know this is sudden but I guess our relationship weren't going anywhere anyway. Why not waste our time. I know there will be someone out there who is perfect for you. I am sorry Mason" she said as he took out the engagement ring and placed it on the table.
He took her hand and said "I know. I guess we're not the perfect couple after all. Thank you Alex. You have been the best. I hope the both of you are and always will be happy together. Go. Go to him" and he let her hands go .
"Really?" she ask and he nodded "Oh! Thank you Mason" and grabbed her bag and ran all the way to her car where she drove as fast she possible could to his apartment. She knocked on the door, he answered it and she jumped on him and planted a kiss
"I love you" she announced at the surprised looking Justin "I love you too" he said as he twirled her around the room. Alex witness the love from her bedroom and smiled "We did it" she announced and the ghost of Juliet reappeared and said "Well done. You did a good job honey. I am so proud of you" and she smiled
"Thanks mom" and they shared a hug "I love you mom" and she said "I love you too honey" and quickly let herself go. "I have to go now honey. Take care of yourself. Be good okay" and she nodded as her mother disappeared permanently as she finally crossed over. This is all going as planned. Her life is complete. She is happy. They all are happy. Finally.
