Chapter 4

Fox was at the airport. He was walking down the terminal when he sees a young woman running after a young man. He watches the scene play out. The woman runs after the man. She catches up with the man. They get into a little argument. The woman is frustrated with the man. They yelled some more but then there was silence. All of a sudden they hug. Fox remembers a similar situation he was in years ago.

A couple of years ago, Fox woke up a little early. He looked beside him and Kay was still sleeping peacefully. He gets up and changes. He grabs his suitcase from under the bed. He places a little note on his side of the pillow. He looks at Kay. He couldn't bear to leave her. She looked so peaceful. She was breathing soft, uneven breathes. There was this glow on her that Fox could not get enough. He kisses the side of her head. His lips lingered there for a couple of seconds. He pulls away and looks at her one last time and walked through the door.

A cab was waiting for him downstairs. Fox puts his bag and suitcase into the trunk of the taxi. He glances up at the building and looked at the window where Kay and his bedroom was.

"Good-bye Kay."

With that last word, he sighed and got into the taxi. The taxi left the building. Fox was looking out the back window until he couldn't see the building anymore. When he didn't see it, he turned around and faced forward.

The taxi driver asked, "Where to sir?"

"The airport."

The taxi driver nodded and headed to the airport.

Back at Fox and Kay's place, Kay begins to wake up. She feels coldness by her side. She knew that something was wrong. She shot up from the bed and looked beside her and found no Fox by herself. She saw a letter on his pillow. Kay picked it up and started reading it.

Kay...

I love you. You know that. I've said that to you many times.

Before I met you, I would wonder if saying 'I love you' ever looses meaning. I thought it did but when I met you...I knew I would love you till the day I die. The way you smile. The way you walk. The sun hitting your lovely features. The way you kiss me. The way you know how to say the right things to make me feel better. The way...you made me feel love unconditionally. I don't think it'll ever loose meaning. (I sound like a chick now…god. You bring that out of me you know.

Before I met you, I didn't know how to love somebody so much. You were full of love. Just waiting to give it to the man she loves and you picked me. It surprised me that I love you so much that I could barely be without you. That's how much I love you.

Writing this hurts me because I am about to do the right thing for the both of us. I hate hurting you but I have to do this –

Kay stopped reading. She was suddenly confused of what he was trying to say. She went back to reading. Throughout the reading, Fox was staring out the window like he's exactly there with Kay when she's reading the note.

- for the sake of our future. I am leaving to work in Europe for awhile. It isn't necessarily about you. It's about us. Our future. If I can provide –

Kay was sobbing and could barely read the letter. She gets out of bed quickly and puts on something to wear. She grabs her keys and runs downstairs. She gets into her car and starts driving to the airport. Kay was wiping her tears on her sleeves.

The taxi, Fox was in, reached the airport in a matter of minutes. He paid the guy and got his bag and suitcase out of the trunk. When the taxi leaves, Fox enters the terminal.

Kay is racing to the airport as fast as she can. Once she reached the airport, she quickly got out and ran down the terminal.

Kay yelled, "Fox! Fox! Fox!"

Fox heard his name. He recognized who was calling him. He slowly turned around and sees Kay running towards him.

"Kay? What are you doing here?" Fox asked.

"You were just going to leave like that? No formal good-byes. Nothing."

"Kay...I left you a-"

Kay interrupts him, "A letter. Very formal." There was an uncomfortable silence between the two.

Fox admitted, "I didn't want to hurt you."

"Not a very good job then. Leaving me a letter when you left?" She then said sarcastically, "That didn't hurt me."

"Kay. I-"

"No. Why did you leave me that letter? Why couldn't you tell me you were leaving? Level with me here. Is it that you didn't think I could handle this? What is it? I don't get it." Kay said.

Fox sighs and replies, "That's not it. Besides me not wanting to hurt you...I knew that...If I told you beforehand...you would try to convince me not to go and that will not only hurt you but me too. I love you so much Kay."

"You have a funny way to express it to me right now." Kay glares at Fox. "You really didn't think I could handle it." Fox shook his head.

"I'm doing this for us Kay."

"Us?" Kay scoffed. "Really? Because if you want to make me happy...stay. Stay here...with me."

Fox sighs, "I can't. I have a plane to catch."

"Skip it."

"I can't."

"And why not?" Kay asked. "Is this job more important than me?"

"No. Never." Fox said. "I want us to have a promising future."

"It already is."

"Kay...-"

"I'm serious Fox. Having you with me...is all I want. Nothing more and if I can't be with you...I don't know how I am going to deal when you're gone."

Fox places his hands on her wrists and said, "I will always be here for you." He kisses her hand. "I will never be gone. Just call me up or come with me."

"I can't."

Fox nods. "Yes you can. We can get you a ticket and-"

Kay raised her voice a little to get Fox's attention. "No Fox. No."

"Why not?" Fox asked.

"My family Fox. What about my family?"

"You can always visit them."

Kay replied, "I can't. I'll miss them too much." She looks away from him.

"What do you want then, Kay? You don't want to go and I can't stay here."

With her face turned away from Fox, "Just go Fox." He can see that she's hurt. He leans over and kisses her on her lips.

"I am sorry. I didn't want to hurt you." Kay nodded. Fox pulled Kay into a hug. "I'll miss you." He felt her nod and she began to cry. "I love you Kay." Kay broke down more. He kisses her head and pulls away. When he pulled away, he used his hands and wiped some of her tears from her eyes. "Hey. Hey. I will come back." Kay nodded. He kisses her one last time. He turns around and walks away. Kay breaks down into fits of sobs. She sinks down to the floor and cries her heart out. Onto Fox, Fox can cane hear her sobs from where he is and it hurts him to know he hurt Kay. He wanted to run back towards Kay and pull her into his arms but he couldn't. He kept walking and closed his eyes to suppress the sound of Kay crying and his own tears threatening to fall.

Fox shakes his head from the thought when he sees the young man start to walk away from the woman. The woman just stood there. She turned around and started going. Then the young man came behind him and pulled her into his arms and whispered that he wasn't going. Fox smiles at the scene. He knew that in the past, he should've stayed with Kay. Fox keeps walking down the terminal.

Note: I have to say...this is by far, the favorite chapter I have ever written in my life so far. I made up for the crappy chapters I didn't like. There are a lot of emotions to it. I like to know what you thought about this chapter. Thank you for supporting my story and all the criticisms.
