June P.o.v

I didn't know why Andrew wanted to see me. I was waiting for him, for about more than ten minutes. I have near been to the roof of the campus until then. I gotta say, the view was breathtaking. Up above, stars were shining like diamonds covered by a blanket of the night sky. A cool breeze played with my warm skin. I felt the goosebumps as the breeze touched me. The whole campus was decorated with tiny purple lights. It looked like there was a carnival going on with all those decorations. Those lights glimmered in the darkness. It was so peaceful up there, I could use this to clear my head I thought.

You look cold!  Andrew said looking at me.

I didn't even know since when he was standing beside me. I was in my own thoughts that, I didn't even notice him. I greeted him with a smiled.

I am okay!  I replied with a sly smile.

But I insist!  He said removing his coat and offered it to me.

Um.Thank you!  I said slowly, avoiding his eyes.

So what did you wanna talk about?  I asked tugging one of my hair strands behind my ear.

I wanna finish our conversation!  He said looking in the distance placing his hands in his pockets.

It was too hard for me, I can't keep doing this over and over again. It was just too painful.

There is nothing more to talk about I told you everything!  I exclaimed.

But I didn't get to tell you!  He said as he took a step closer, eyeing me closely.

Tell me what?  I asked as took a step back swiftly.

I want to tell you that I can't lie to you anymore! I can't lie to you or myself, I am done with that! I want to tell you how I am hopelessly and irretrievably in love with you! I want to tell you, how every night I keep wondering how did this happen to me? And I want to tell you, if I go even a day without talking to you I tend to lose my mind. I have tried to deny it but not today, I have fallen for you, June Paxton! And I want you to move to the UK with me and pursue your internship there! You can do whatever you want but just be with me!    He said looking into my eyes with a smile but it wasn't the normal one, it was a rare toothy smile that I have never seen from him, he wasn't even slightly nervous while saying those words.

I wasn't shocked but it was different kinda feeling it was exhilarating. Hearing what you wanted to hear for so long, it was rather different than I have expected it to be. My heartbeat was already abnormal when he came closer, Butterflies were fluttering everywhere inside. My face had already turned red when he took my hands near his lips. I wanted to jump up and down in joy, I wanted to scream to the world and let everyone I know how happy I was to hear those words from him. I could have smiled brightly and hugged him or maybe I could have just kissed him.

But I didn't. I was just standing there expressionless.

Wow!  I-I..um.   I started talking looking flushed.

Breathless!?  He smirked.

I nodded looking red as a tomato.

Okay, that's all I managed to tell him after that intense speech of his! I know.. I am the worst person to propose, right?

Wait. Before you say anything, I want to confess something!    He stopped me.

There is more?  I asked with a smirk.

Yes, Indeed!  I am not engaged to Sharon and nor will I be!  He said looking serious.

Oh.. That's interesting!  I tried my best to put on my surprised look.

I guess I wasn't reacting as he was expecting, he was looking at me as if I had grown two heads or something.

This not some trick, I am serious June! You have to believe me, it's a long story! I was blackmailed into the whole thing!  He started freaking out.

Wait! An.Andrew!  I know!  I said placing my hands on his shoulder.

What?!?  He blinked. 

He looked shocked and confused. I knew I wasn't supposed to do what I was doing now!  But I couldn't care less about it now.

Yes, I have known this for quite some time now!  I confessed.

But how?  He shuttered.

I met your fiancé a few days ago!  I replied eyeing him closely.

This doesn't make any sense! Why did you meet her? He asked looking confused.

Well, I didn't, she approached me And You are right!  You can't marry Sharon!  I said suddenly.

But it's not because she isn't the one you love, it's because she is not mentally stable!  I said looking dead serious.

I told him everything that I learnt over the past few days. He was listening to me seriously. He was in shock When I mentioned about Emma. I also told the part where she made multiple attempts to kill us both, the part where she threatened me.

Everything! God, I felt so relieved. I knew this was the only place I could tell him, it was secluded and she won't have her stupid spies here. Andrew had to know, I can't stand by and watch him marry her.

Look, I know this is a lot to process!  I said looking concerned.

You were a part of this madness cause of me!   He exclaimed looking frustrated.

Now that I knew everything... What will she do to you?  He asked looking worried.

Nothing.. well, I don't know and honestly, I don't care!  I replied instantly.

She won't know..Look, No one hears expect us!  I said trying to sound convincing enough.

How?  I mean you of all people know what she is capable of?  He asked shaking his head with frustration.

You deserved to know the truth!  I said trying to sound strong.

Someone once told me, Giving in to the bullies will just make them strong!  I said with a small smile.

He told me that when I had problems with Jason in the past. I tried to quote himself and make him feel better but that plan was bust.

She can't do this to us!  She ruined me, whenever I came an inch closer to happiness!  He spoke with spite.

We are moving to the UK after our final exams and I am telling my parents everything! She would be given the help she needs, I don't care from where she gets it. Even if it's a mental asylum!     He said looking furious.

Andrew.   I muttered.

You know that I am not going anywhere with you right? I am still moving to NYC!    I replied slowly.

But..I -I thought.. Why would you do that?  He shuttered.

Don't do it!  That little voice whispered one last time.

But I chose to ignore that like always. 

Because I don't belong in your world! I don't wanna sound rude but you gotta agree, You have got a dysfunctional family. You carry the weight of your entire business empire on your shoulders, I mean isn't that the reason why you threw away your feelings for me in just a second, when we were in London? I know you had a family crisis! But let's face facts, There is always gonna be a crisis! And I can't live in fear, waiting for you to give up on me whenever something goes wrong!  I said trying to hold back my tears.

June.. I am sorry about that!  I really am, I would give anything to take that back, to make things right but.. please don't do this right now! I mean.. I can't live without you!   He said desperately wanting me to stay with him.

Hey.. I am not blaming you!  I said as I pulled him into a hug.

I am just saying, W-We don't work!  I said trying hard to suppress my overwhelming emotions.

Warm tears were running down my cheeks, I didn't want to do this but it had to be done for his sake.

Don't you even care about me?  He asked hugging me tightly not wanting me to let go.

I care about you, Andrew! That's why I have to let you go!  I said shaking my head, trying to sound normal as possible between the tears.

Don't!!! You know what this means right?  He sounded broken.

I nodded looking at those sea coloured eyes.

I love you, Andrew Mitchell!  I always have and always will!  I said as I  cupped his face between my hands.

Tears were streaming down both our faces as he cupped my face between his hands too.

Then don't let go!  He leaned towards me, that made our foreheads meet.

I have no choice but to let you go!  I said slowly removing my hands from his iron grip and turning away.

June.. Wait!  He caught my hands and made me turn towards him.

Andrew..please don't make it difficult than it already is..   I shuttered.

But a second later his lips sealed mine and enveloped them. Soft as silk. They started to move in sync, pushing my mouth apart and my conscious self out of my body. I pulled away from him reluctantly after a few minutes, my jaws began to quiver and I could feel the tears in the corner of my eyes that were threatening to spill.

I will never forget you, Goodbye Andrew!  I said moving away from him with a heavy heart.

The next thing I knew, I stormed out of that place. I wanted to be alone, I wanted to cry my heart out. I  reached the third floor sitting in some classroom and suddenly I bust into tears. My eyes were burning as hot tears streamed down my cheeks.

I had a fell from a bike and hurt my hand when I was 13 since my dad was a doctor he knew how to handle me, I was terrified of getting stitches. He asked me to take his hand and squeeze it hard when I felt any pain. After I got the stitches, he said I was his brave princess since I never did squeeze his hands that hard. It did pain me when I got those stitches but when I saw moisture in my dad's eyes, I held all that pain in. That was the most pain I have ever felt in my entire life. If I had to rate it out of ten, I would give it a 9. But what I was feeling today is not even close to that, today I think I felt elven out of ten. I can't let Sharon win but I can't also be a part of his life anymore. I know if I had agreed, Sharon wouldn't think twice before hurting Andrew because of me and I can't bear the thought of that, This had to do.

June P.o.v  [A few weeks later]

Passport?    Becky asked as we were taking the last bag out of my room

Check!  I replied instantly.

Cash?  She asked looking at me seriously.

Check!  I chuckled.

Sandwich?  She asked as I was locked my room.  

What??!?!  I asked suddenly confused.

Have food so that you don't faint!  Becky scolded as she helped me carry my luggage.

Fine.. I have it on the way to the airport!  I said trying to sound convincing.

Okay.. There is certain stuff you need to agree with me before going!  She said looking serious.

Alright.. Go on?  I asked sarcastically.

Don't you dare be someone else's best friend!  You are mine!  She said looking hot as a volcano.

I won't.. I promise!  I chuckled.

Okay, next thing is difficult to tell you but I am gonna anyway, Don't miss me a lot!  She said hugging me tightly.

Well, that will be difficult but I will try!  I smiled as moisture in the corner of my eyes were threatening to spill, now I promised myself that I would not cry after that night of the farewell party but still, it was really emotional for me today.

Call me every day!  Take care of yourself!  Becky said realising me from her grip.

Okay.. I still have like one and a half hours for my flight!  I mumbled.

I know, but I can't help it!  Don't leave me, please.. I can't live without you!  She complained.

Becky!  You promised!  I said firmly.

Fine, I will pretend to be supportive!  She muttered.

Or you could be really supportive!  I smirked.

I don't know.. I am worried about you that's all!  She said eyeing me.

Well..you shouldn't because I am perfectly fine!  I smiled sweetly.

I know you don't wanna talk about it, but I think you should see him before you leave!  She said slowly. 

I love you for worrying about me but I am really fine! And no, I don't think that's a great idea!  I said with a faint smile.

Alright, but. Becky started.

But we were interrupted when he heard a loud horn and a car stopped right beside us and the windows slide down and there was Liam on the driver seat with his signature smirk on and with sunglasses.

PS: Liam is our ride.  She said looking awkward.

But.. I thought we were talking a cab!  I said swiftly.

How can you leave without any Goodbye?  He asked looking slightly sad.

I wasn't, I told you a week back! Remember?  I replied instantly.

But that was on the phone and the phone goodbyes don't count!  He said looking serious.

Seriously?  I rolled my eyes.

Get in the car!  Both of you!  He commanded.

I honestly don't know why I listened to him, Maybe because he was such a great friend to me.

Who wears sunglasses inside the car?  Becky asked sarcastically.

Oh.. Shut up!  He said with a sly smile.

I am gonna miss you guys!  I said looking at them with a smile.

I wish we could say the same!  Liam smirked.

Oh is that why you are weeping?  Becky chuckled.

I hate you!  Liam exclaimed.

We were laughing during the entire ride.

We reached the airport after a 30 mins drive, I walked inside the airport, we finished all the formalities. I was obviously early. I was waiting for some time with Becky and Liam. After the first announcement, I bid my goodbyes to Liam and Becky with some tears and smiles. They both weren't ready to leave me from their bear hug. I literally escaped from their grip on me.

I took a deep breath and turned back towards them hoping for the impossible I mean I always knew deep inside I wanted to see Andrew one last time before I fly off to New York but hoping he would show up here after everything that had happened, it really made me feel sad for myself. I can't expect this, it's not fair to him.   So I decided to face reality. And well guess what?  reality sucks, my eyes welled up on the thought of leaving him without a goodbye. But can I blame him, I practically pushed him away from me?

It's okay to feel awful, you do love him! That tiny voice came back.

I do!  I said to myself.

Well, at least you are not in denial anymore!  That little voice said with amusement.

I guess you are right all along!  I said as tears started rolling down.

I quickly wiped the tears off my cheeks and I started walking away swiftly.

June?  I heard my name echoed through the crowd.

It was like in the movies, I recognized the voice in a heartbeat. I still can't believe this was happening.  I was dying to catch my breath. My world was in slow motion. I turned back and I left out a breath of relief, which I didn't notice I was holding back. A small smile escaped my lips when I saw him in the distance. I never thought about anything else at that moment, all I could is see was him in that crowd. I ran towards him. I ran into his arms and that was the safest place to be. Soon I was enveloped by his strong arms. All my agony faded away when he held me in his embrace. He hugged me tightly like there was no tomorrow, I noticed My legs weren't on the ground. I was clinging on to him and I never wanted to let go.

You came!  I mumbled.

I did!  He smiled.

I wanted to see you, I had to see you!  He said as his ocean blue eyes bored into mine.

This is an announcement for Flight 156, Los Angeles to  New York, We will be taking off in 10 mins.

Umm..that's my cue!  I said averting his gaze.

I know.. I just..  He shuttered.

Andrew, Thank you for coming here!  I said with a smile.

Goodbye!  I said with a kiss on his cheek. 

Wait. I have to tell you something!  He said and caught my hand, looking intense.

What?  I asked eyeing him closely.

He took my hand and placed it in his chest. What was he up to? 

Do you feel that?  He asked looking into my eyes.

Your heartbeat?  I asked looking at him.

Yes, it only beats for you!  Cause when I look at you, I see my future And that's why I am not giving up on you. I will be waiting for you to come back to me!  He said looking serious.

Andrew.  I started.

You were my first love and I intend to be your last love no matter however long it takes!  He said as he hypnotizing me with his eyes.

I will always find my way back to you!  I smiled.

I know!  He reflected back my smile.

This has been Something Good but this is not the end!  I said holding back my tears.

I love you in June!  He said smiling brightly.

And I love you!  I said trying not to look flushed.

You have no idea how long I have waited to hear that!  He said and crashed his lips on mine. His lips were Oh so soft yet demanding, it was just as I remembered our last kiss.

THE END.
