Emma slept on it, she told Craig that she really needed time to think, to clear her head. She woke up the next morning with a clearer understanding of the choice she had to make.

She walked into the living room to find Craig still sleeping on the couch. He looks so peaceful, she thought. She decided that it would be best not to disturb him; it would be better that way. She would write him a letter instead.

Dear Craig,

I hate to leave town without telling you first, but you would only ask me to stay, and I know that I could never say no to you. I just believe that this is the best thing for the both of us.

I had to go, in my heart I know that it's not right for me to be with you any longer for your heart doesn't belong truly to me. It still longs for Kelsie, and I know you hate to admit it, but it does. I didn't want to stand in the way of it anymore. I saw the way you kept looking at her, and wished it were the same way you looked at me. At first, I was blind to it, but I just couldn't deny it any longer.

And I'm not saying that you didn't love me at all or nothing. Please don't think that. Its just it's not the same kind of love that you should have for someone you want to spend the rest of you life. I will always cherish the time we had together; you were my first of a lot of things. It's just time for us to move out separate ways.

I don't know how Kelsie feels for you, I don't know who she loves more, but promise me not to wait forever for her, find someone who is will to give you their whole heart to you, and you to them. I thought that was me, but you for some reason just couldn't give me it. Know that I will always love you, and that you were the first person that I could truly show my whole self to. I'm sorry that I couldn't say good-bye properly.

With All My Love,

Emma

Emma put the letter right on the table, then went to kiss him on the forehead before heading out the door, "Good-bye Craig." A tear fell from her face as she glanced at him one last time.

Craig awoke from his sleep, he was lucky he had slept any bit through the night. He was so scared that Emma wouldn't believe that he really loved her.

He glanced across the room to notice an envelope on the table. His heart dropped he knew exactly what it was. No this couldn't be happening!

He got up from his couch, and walked over to the table to read it. Every word that he read made him want to cry. He couldn't believe that she thought that he didn't truly love her. What was he going to do; he didn't want to lose her. This wasn't what he wanted at all.

Craig grabbed his keys from the kitchen counter; he had to catch her before it was too late. He needed to stop her from making a total mistake; she needed to here him out. This time with his own words, and not a song.

Emma arrived at the airport, with tears in hers eyes. She needed to change her ticket. "Hi, I would like to change my flight for next week, to today."

"Your name miss."

"Emma Nelson."

She took a minute to look it over, "Yes you can, but the earliest I can get you a flight is at 4pm."

Shaking her head, "That's fine." Emma walked over to waiting area. This was going to be a long wait. She would be glad to get out of here, it would be so much easier to get over Craig when he wasn't around, and she didn't have to face him at all.
