"What is it?" asked Violet.
"Come with me." Mike led her out to a fountain.
"It's so pretty."
"Yeah it is."
"So what did you have to tell me?"
Mikes heart started pumping like a treadmill.
"Well… I have to say something… and I don't know how to say it without hurting myself."
"You can tell me anything." Said Violet.
He took both of her hands.
"I had a really great time with you these past two weeks."
"Really?"
"Yeah. We did so much togeather and I had lots of fun."
"I can tell that your up to something." said Violet.
"Ok, I admit it." said Mike. "When you were asleep that night in the car I ran fingers through your hair and I saved your life twice not because I'm a lifeguard. I really am but I... I..." he was going to choke. "I care for you."
"You know, I had fun that night in the car, learning the diffrence between CPR and a kiss."
Mike could feel himself blush.
"Its just that..." Mike said. "When I first saw you at the factory I thought, 'Wow.'" and I couldnt keep my eyes off of you. Whenever you wernt looking, I starred at you and I was angry after what happened in the inventing room. In the chocolate room I wanted to ask my dad for advice. I wanted to know how to win a girls heart and when I finally asked him a few years ago he just said, 'Smile, be handsome and whatever you do, stay true to yourself.'"
"And you did." said Violet. "Just tell me how you feel."
"Ok, you wanna hear it? Fine." he picked her up and carried her to a cornor of the gardan and placed her down on a stone bench. "I... I... I love you..."
Violet smiled and then burst into tears. She stood up and approched him.
"Whats wrong?" Mike asked her.
"I love you, Mike. I'm leaving tomorrow. I'm going home. At first, I was homesick but now if I had a wish, I'd wish to stay here with you."
She started to cry on his chest. He wrapped her arms around her and rubbed her back.
"I'll miss you." He said.
"So will I." said Violet.
"Let's make it last." He said.
They heard a slow song play in the club.
"Will you dance?"
"Yes." Said Violet taking his hand. They walked in and swayed back and forth to Violet Parr's, "Never Gonna Let You Go". Violet looked and saw Jack and Emily, slow dancing. Emily was smiling and Jack was happy.
"He likes her." Said Violet.
"Yeah." Said Mike. "They make a good couple."
At the end Mike picked up Violet again and carried her home.
------------------------------------------
Violet had to get up bright and early to catch the plane. She was extremely tired and needed help with her bags. She didn't eat or drink, she just sat there while Mike put her bags in his trunk. He offered Rose to take Violet because the old lady needs to work. She wasn't quite retired yet.
"Ready to go?" asked Mike.
"I don't wanna go." Said Violet.
"I know, but you have to. Say good bye to your grandma. Your plane leaves in and hour."
"Good bye grandma." Said Violet trying not to cry. "It was fun."
Rose said goodbye back, and hugged the sad teenager. Mike and Violet walked out to the car. Violet fell when going down the steps. If people were watching, they'd be laughing. Mike realized she was weak from the emotion. He picked her up and carried her to the car.
"Just rest all you like." Said Mike starting the car. They drove to the air port.
"Now you need to hurry. The plane goes in twenty minutes."
"I'll be fine." Violet assured him. "I'll miss you so much."
Mike felt like crying. "I'll miss you too." He said.
They walked towards the gate.
"Seats 5A B C." called a voice.
"That's you." Said Mike.
"I don't wanna go." She said.
"Listen to me. We may be miles apart, but I'll think of you everyday for the rest of my life. Someday, we'll meet again."
"In ten years from now." Said Violet starting to cry.
"Maybe this will help." He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her like he did in the car. A tear fell down his cheek as it happened. When Violet let go of his hand it felt like another building was hit by an airplane.
During the flight, Violet slept. That's all she did. It wasn't like her to sleep like a sloth but not even the person next to her could wake her up. She had a dream that she was crying on the plane when a hand touched her shoulder. It was Mike.
"Miss me?" he asked.
Violet stopped crying and looked up.
"Only a lot!" she replied.
Poof! Her dream cloud disappeared.
The plane lands in Atlanta and Violet gets off the plane, still grey inside. Her heart was bleeding all over by emotion.
"I'm sorry your upset." Said Violet's mom as they drove home. "You'll find some other boy to share lives with."
"It's just not the same." Said Violet.
She was right. She was forever lost from love. It was found and now it's been taken away.
