Jackies pov:
She was standing in the hallway, with her bags packed and her hand on the door handle. She was ready to go, she had been there so long, but something didn't let her. It was like, as soon she stepped out from the apartment it was really over.
Was that really what she wanted? God, she loved him, so why was she ready to leave him?
She leant her fever hot pan against the cold door and shivered. She wished that Steven would come in, towards the door and save her. Taker her in his arms and make her forget everything else.
But he is not coming and she tried to not let herself be disappointed.
Hydes pov:
Something was different this time. Their fight had been different. She had looked so tired, when he left the apartment. Tired and hurt.
Why does he always have to hurt her? Maybe it was because he knew he doesn't deserve her. That he never had, not even when they fooled around on the coach in the basement, and hoped that they not would be discovered. He loved her, more than he really understood. But something deep inside him told him that he destroyed her life. She wanted to travel and see the world, not be tracked in their small apartment. He destroyed her life, but he hadn't the strength to let her go. He needed her.
Jackies pov:
She tried to compose strength, it's one step, just one step and then she's free. So why is it so hard, so hard to leave him? Memories from their relationship went through her head. She had always loved him, even when she was together with Michael. But back then she never really understood it. She loved his kisses and his touches and the way he made her feel. She really loved him and she needed him, but it was not here she wanted to be. She felt like she was stuck in a cage and that feeling killed her slowly.
When had she and Steven talked lately, really talked. About she and him and her feelings?
It felt like the only ting they did was fight and make love.
She loved him more than anything but she can't handle this.
Slowly she put down the door handle…
Hydes pov:
He should appreciate her more. Give her flowers and taker her out and other things like that. Instead he just ignored the feeling of her unhappiness. That one feeling that he had had to long. He had been afraid to meet her face to face and find out things he really don't wanted to know. But he had to do that, Now!
He felt relief when I turned around the car and started to drive home. Everything will be al right. If he just could come home and take her in his arms and tell her how much he love her.
Jackies pov:
She was standing with closed eyes and the door handle down pressed. Don't sure if she had the courage to get outside. She was scared for things that waited for her there, but she was terrified for what should happen if she stayed. She took a last deep breath and opened the door…
Hydes pov:
He parked the car and started to run inside the building. Something was wrong. Something was terrible wrong.
He took the stair instead of the elevator, two steps at time.
The door was unlocked and the hall was empty. The feeling of that something was wrong grown stronger.
He ran towards their bedroom and hopped that she would be there. The door was open.
He stopped in the doorway and just stared.
Her wardrobe was opened and empty. All her magazines, tiny things and anything else that had belonged to her were gone.
He felt like he would faint. He continued to their bathroom. All her make up and expensive creams were gone. He kept on to the kitchen and living room and saw, that all her things were gone.
And then it really hit him; she was gone! She was really gone! He sank down to he floor and leant his head against the wall.
It felt like she dragged out his heart and stamped on it.
A part of him died there, when she left. A part that never will return…
