Hope you've enjoyed the ride.

Chapter 29:

Ann looked around her run down apartment for the last, final time. An air of formality hanged in the air. She still couldn't believe that she could fit all her belongings in two small suitcases, and then again most of her clothing was made out of flimsy material.

She was leaving; her last final note to Seiya was clutched in her hand. She couldn't believe she was doing this. For the first time in her entire life she was following her heart, she was living on a whim and she finally felt free.

After Alan had found her in the kitchen and they had comforted each other with words of love and then later on, acts of love she had sat Alan down or rather she sat on him and told him exactly what she wanted out of him.

She couldn't, wouldn't ever get rid of her child, no matter who the father was. She already loved her baby and would do anything to keep it and Alan needed to know that.

Ann had to make sure that Alan would stay with her when she became more emotional and/or too big to pleasure him, to know for certain he won't take off as soon as the baby was born because it wouldn't stop crying, pooing and vomiting.

She needed the security that Seiya could have given her because she knew all to well that sometimes love just simply isn't enough.

Ann sniffled knowing that it was her hormones playing up but never the less, an overwhelming sadness eloped the slender brunette.

In reality she wasn't running very far, just to Seiya's motel room across town then hopefully into a slightly better apartment because Seiya still had business obligations here before they could ride off into the sunset, never to look back.

"Ann? Are you ok sweetie?" Alan's smooth voice washed over Ann as he wrapped a comforting arm around her shoulders.

She smiled through her unshed tears as Alan gave her a reassuring squeeze. He wasn't going any where, not now, not ever.

"Can you take my bags down Alan? I'll be down in a sec,"

Alan nodded and kissed her cheek gently before going downstairs with her two suitcases.

Ann sighed as she laid her hands flat over her stomach, rubbing it soothingly. "This is the last time were going to see this dump baby. In your life time my only wish is that you never have to see this, to experience this ..... Hell hole,"

Ann mused to herself as she forced herself to open her palm to reveal the pain staking letter which took her a better half of 2 hours. She placed it down on the kitchen bench. A place he would be sure to look at.

She took out her phone, making the last call she would ever make in her apartment. "Seiya? It's Ann; there is something you need to know. Can you come over? Yeah. Bye Seiya,"

Ann took a deep breath and then with an absolute determination she braced her body as she walked out her front door and shut it gently behind her.

"Ann?"

Ann smiled into the bright sun as she jumped into Alan's surprised arms, "I love you and I trust you. Let's make this work,"

------

Seiya opened Ann's door timidly, on the phone she had sounded so serious that Seiya was just a little bit worried. He hoped she wasn't doing anything irrational.

"Ann?"

Automatically the desolate place of her apartment hit him, he hated spending nights here. It was so doggy and so dingy that he shivered just looking at the run down plaster walls. But this time around something was off and not something rotting in her fridge like it had been in the past.

The apartment if it was possible looked even more deserted then it did before. Then it hit him. Where was all of Ann's junk?

"Shit,"

Seiya noticed that while most of her bigger appliances were there, most of it was so old and useless that there wouldn't be any value. All the little details she had put up to make her home look more homely were gone. As he stumbled into her bedroom he noticed that all her clothes were gone.

"Great so where is the note and the rejected proposal? I hate these damn movies,"

It didn't take Seiya long to find the white piece of paper which was crumbled up slightly. He had to sit down before he could even bear to read it.

He opened it up apprehensively. The cold, bitter words on the paper already biting him.

Seiya,

As you might have guessed this is a goodbye letter and a thank you letter. I guess because were never going to be together I might as well be honest now because, ever since I have known you I have been lying to you.

The reason I wanted to be with you, the sole reason why I wanted you was because of Serena. She made me so jealous. She was always the perfect one, the prettiest one, the one boys fell over them selves for, but when I fell pregnant everything I knew and everything I felt was put in perspective.

Seiya, I am truly pregnant that I never lied to you about but however I don't know if the child is really yours. But you seemed like the safest choice. I was using you. To secure my child had a safe home both financially and stability. I never want my baby to go through what I went through when I was growing up.

So yes, there is a high chance that this baby I am taking away from you is yours but I couldn't force myself to go through the marriage. A love less marriage. I'm letting you go to find the perfect person for you Seiya. Not some needy girl who used you first for revenge and then for your money.

I think I'm really going to be happy for the first time in my entire life. My step brother – Alan promises me to take care of me and my baby and I love him even more for it.

You'll see me around Seiya. But when you do don't pity me or spite me. Know I am happy and when I see you I pray that you are happy too.

Thank You Seiya, for everything you've done. How accepting you've been, how loved you made me feel. And I'm sorry that I'm leaving like this. In a note you're probably going to throw away.

So thanks and goodbye,

Ann

P.S. The engagement is called off

P.P.S if you know what's good for you don't go back to Serena. She's happy and your suspicions were right she is getting her freak on with her professor but she truly does love him. Don't ruin it for her.

Seiya re read the letter twice over before neatly folding the note and placing it in his pocket. He stalked to the door and just before he closed the door he smiled, before fishing out his mobile.

"Hey, Yaten baby? I'm coming home and I owe you 50, no one even suspected that I was really gay. Ha ha, funny doll face. Yeah I love you too,"

Seiya hanged up the phone and without a backwards glance shut the door firmly behind him.

He had his own lover waiting for him. No grudges.

THE END! .... if you don't count the epilogue of course.
