-Call me if you need to talk about it- Rachel hugs Juliet.
They are already at the airport. This weekend flew by very quickly and it's time for Rachel to fly back to Miami, but she is still not sure about Juliet. Will she be fine alone? That meeting at the cafe, which was supposed to fix the whole situation, appeared to be mixed enough, because after it Juliet was even more silent and sad. Rachel sighs.
-If you don't want to, call me anyway. I must know what is happening to my little sister.-
-Okay, I'll call you .- Juliet smiles and pushes Rachel to the counter.-You have to go or you'll be late. I promise, I will be alright.-
Rachel looks at Juliet with distrust and leaves.
Juliet returns home. She was pleased by Rachel's visit, but somehow she feels completely exhausted now. Jack called and warned her that his flight is delayed and he didn't know when he'd get home. So Juliet climbs into the bed and almost immediately falls asleep.
-You just have to live and enjoy every moment and no matter how short this time will be, the only important thing is that you'll spend it together.-
It's so right! With him she had stopped worrying about tomorrow. When he was with her, there was only here and now for her. And she was not ready to exchange it for anything in the world.
She looks at him, smiling and looking forward to how he turns as if feeling her look, as always. And he turns, but not to her. He looks at the other woman. The one that is still in his heart.
She looks at him with sadness, recalling their life together. How they understood each other perfectly. It's all in the past. She looks at him, and he hardly feels it. But then he turns around and smiles. At her? He smiles at her? Really? Is it still possible to fix? She smiles back, but his gaze slips past her. He looks at another person. The one that is back in his life.
No! No! No! It's too painful. She does not want to experience it again.
-Hey, Julie, what happened? -
-It hurts Rach. Heck, it's too painful to lose him again and again.- She drops her head into her hands.
-You know. I think I should leave. I just have to pretend that none of this exists; that I never met him and so on. Then everything will be fine.-
She gets up from their table and goes to the door, suddenly she feels that she was grabbed by the arm.
-No, - she instinctively pulls back her hand.
-Why are you doing this? -
She turns and sees him.
-Love is not always enough. Some people just aren't supposed to be together.-
-I've never believed in fate. I've always believed that we create own future by ourselves.-
Juliet opens her eyes. James' words are still sounding in her head.
"I've never believed in fate. I've always believed that we create own future by ourselves. So probably it suits me well that even a brother I choose myself "
He chose Miles. And there is nothing strange about that, they became best friends for those three years. But didn't she and him become closer to each other for the same three years? Isn't she worth choosing?
-I'm with you! -
-And you'll always be with me, if -
-I let you-she whispers.
-No! Don't let go! Don't leave me! -
She looks into his eyes and sees that he wants to be with her until the end. But she can't let him do that, because then he'll die with her.
-God-Juliet flinches.
Is he right, and she is the one responsible for what happened? Is it her who doesn't allow them be together?
