(1 year later)

3rd POV

Jill and Adrian decided to come back to court a year later, in the summer. Jill was going to tell Lissa that her and Adrian were going to get married.

Adrian was a little nervous to see Rose again after everything that had happened between them last September.

What happened
after last summer
when we broke up
in September

Rose and Dimitri were a happy couple. The events from last September in the past, where they should be.

Rose and Dimitri had adopted a boy right after they had gotten together and were now in plans of adopting a baby girl.

I havent seen you
Feels like a long time
Sometimes it still hurts
But I always get by

Adrian had to admit it to himself that it still hurt to think about her sometimes.

And Rose had to admit that it hurt her to think about the events of last year, but with the help of Jill and Dimitri they both got by.

And every day got better.

I still got a piece of you under my skin
Its always there no matter where Ive been

They both got a piece of each other under their skins that never went away.

But deep down they knew how to fix it.

Jill and Adrian arrived at court and walked towards Lissa's house, just as Dimitri and Rose were living her house.

So if I ever see you on the street
Ill pretend that I didnt see
And turn my face
No use in small talk anyways

Their eyes met, but they looked away immediately.

Lissa called out to them and Dimitri and Rose had to go back into her house.

Because if I look into your eyes
Then Ill have to say goodbye
And thatll break my heart
So I wont even start
I wont even start

They went in and had to say hi to eachother.

But they both avoided to look into each others eyes, afraid of what they would find.

I wish you luck
And I wish it true
Thats the best
I can do for you

Eventually they looked at each other and smiled.

"Good luck," Rose tells him. She wanted the best for him and Jill.

"Good luck," Adrian tells her. He wanted the best for her and Dimitri, along with their children.

They didn't really want a conversation.

They didn't want to start.

But as Adrian looked at Jill who was laughing with Lissa, and Rose looked at Dimitri who was laughing with Eddie an epiphany hit them both... Kinda.

Cuz youll probably find love
In someone new
I have to let go
Yeah its hard to do

Because that's when they both made a decision.

So if I run into you with your arm by his side
Just know itll cut me like a knife

It hurt Adrian to see Rose with Dimitri.

And Rose felt longing when she saw Adrian with Jill.

So if I ever see you on the street
Ill pretend that I didnt see
And turn my face
No use in small talk anyways

They made the same decision, a decision they should've made a long time ago.

Because if I look into your eyes
Then Ill have to say goodbye
And thatll break my heart
So I wont even start
I wont even start

This past year they had avoided each other as much as possible, Rose never went to visit Jill with Lissa, and Adrian never went with Jill to visit Lissa.

But they couldn't keep running away from each other.

Ill be ok, Ill be ok
Or thats what Ill say

They both realized that they would be okay.

They both decided to really let go and move on.

Last summer had been a mistake, they had never really fixed.

Until now.

So if I ever see you on the street
Ill pretend that I didnt see
And turn my face
No use in small talk anyways
Cuz if I look into your eyes
Then Ill have to say goodbye
And thatll break my heart
So I wont even start
Oh I wont even start
No I wont even start

It was a hard thing to do.

But they did it nevertheless; they spoke about what had happened.

They looked into each others eyes and said goodbye, for real this time.

It broke their heart a little, but they had to do it.

Rose left with Dimitri, arm in arm.

Adrian hugged Jill closer to him.

They looked at each other one more time and smiled.

They could be happy now.

They had finally let go.
