THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY

PART 2KATHERINE SINGER, MOVING ON
London, England... Katherine Singer, now one of the best fiction writers in Europe, silently entered her stylish loft. She just arrived from airport, after a weekend of skiing in the French Alps with her English friends, Jane and Diane. She put her luggage down the floor and headed to look out and savor the nice view in her balcony. As usual, she was alone again. She never liked company anyway. It's her own private haven, and not much people are allowed in. Only few people were let in, which means her family. Not even her ex-girlfriend Michelle was able to spend much time inside this loft with her. They usually just stay over at Michelle's place whenever they want to be together. It hurt Michelle a bit, she knew Katie's reason afterall, but she dealt with it. Michelle's the only real girlfriend Katie has ever had since Tara Brody in highschool. It's just never easy to connect with anyone. She tried, but she felt it once, and it felt great. And she never found that connection again, ever, other than the only person outside of her family that she'd possibly allow inside her loft, ever.
It was Jessie Sammler.
But Jessie was never even her girlfriend. Trying so hard to find that connection with a lot of different people when she arrived in London to study more than ten years ago was like digging to find a blue diamond. She ended up having one nighters with strangers, mostly girls that had blond hair and blue eyes. Then came Michelle.
She's a brunette, has chocolate brown eyes, nice personality, and like Katie, she was very charming. Physically, she's Jessie exact opposite, and Katie liked it that way. Nothing to remind her of the one great love she could never have. Michelle didn't necessarily swept Katie off her feet, but hey, Katie really liked her. They were together for two years, but it didn't work out between them, no matter how both of them tried. Michelle had to go back to LA, or so she said, so they ended up just being friends. They kept in touch through email, and they call each other whenever they have time.
Shit, I can't dwell in this pain anymore, it's pathetic... Please, let me let you go... But why can't I even let myself do that?
As Katie closed her eyes, pain started wrapping her heart again. Despite of the distance, despite of the time, nothing had changed. Thoughts of her could still hurt her.
Please Jessie, let me let you go... Katie let out a deep sigh, and hastily wiped the tears before it fell down from her eyes.
