I zipped up my bag and sighed. I had finally finished packing my clothes for the flight that is leaving in an hour and a half plus, it takes an hour to get there and half an hour to find anything before we have to run to the gate. I looked around my now empty room and frowned.

"I'm going to miss it here" I said to myself.

"I'm going to miss you here" I heard from behind me and I spun around to see Alex.

I smiled, sadly as Alex frowned at me because I had to go now. I was already dressed to go, I just have to give the key back to the people who work here and leave to the airport. I'm going to miss Alex the most, I still miss Garrett, he was a friend that I could talk to when I hated Alex, a lot.

"I'll miss you too but I have to go back home" I said as I walked up to him.

"Don't leave, please" Alex whispered, sounding so vulnerable and I frowned again. I cupped his cheek and he leaned into my hand.

"Sorry but I have to, I have to go to college and see my mum again, sorry" I said, sadly.

"Fine" Alex said, looking down. I let go of his cheek and sighed. I turned around to leave but Alex grabbed my hand and pulled me towards him. Alex wrapped his arms around my waist and rested his forehead on mine.

"W-whatt are you d-doing?" I stuttered. Alex didn't say anything back, we just looked into each other's eyes till we both started leaning in.

"Emily! We have to go now or we'll be late for our flight back home!" I heard Jasmine yell, knocking on the door.

I backed away from Alex and grabbed my suitcase. I walked towards the door and walked out the door, not even looking back. I looked up at Jasmine and James and they both frowed as Jasmine hugged me.

"It'll all be ok Em, I promise" Jasmine said, leading me towards the elevator. The doors closed and we went down.

"I know but I'll miss him" I whispered.

"Come here Emily" James said, opening his arms and I walked into his arms. James hugged me tight and I huggd back as a tear slid down my cheek. James stroked my hair and kissed my cheek.

"You'll get over this, I swear" James said.

"I hope" I sighed.

We walked out of the elevator and gave our keys back. We walked outside and into the rental car before James drove off. I looked out my window and I saw Alex, on the balcony. Alex looked at me and I smiled as I waved. Alex waved back and I sighed.

goodbye paris

-------------------------------

"Emily! James!" My mum squealed once me and James walked through the door of our house. Mum ran up to us and pulled us both into a hug making us both laugh as we hugged back.

"We missed you too mum" James said as she let go of us.

"How was it there?" mum asked, closing the door.

"It was great" I said, smiling.

"What happened?" my mum asked, excited.

"Do you mind if I go unpack first please?" I asked, wanting to change the subject and not talk about this.

"Oh, sure" my mum said. I grabbed my suitcase and walked upstairs with a frown on my face.

"What's wrong with Emily?" I heard my mum ask.

"Emily left the only person she loved" James said and I huffed.

I walked into my room and I shut the door. I unpacked everything before going to shower and change into my pyjamas. I at on my bed as I brushed my wet hair and glanced at the clock to see it was already 7:30 night time. I heard a small knock at my door.

"Come in!" I shouted.

"Sweetie, are you ok?" my mum asked, walking in and closing the door behind her.

"Yeah" I lied and she frowned as she sat next to me on the bed. I put my brush down and looked at my mother.

"You're not ok, I know what you're feeling and trust me, it's the worst thing ever" my mum said.

"It is and I feel horrible" I whined.

"I know sweetie but it's normal, you'll learn to get over it some day" my mum said, reassuringly.

"I know but how long will that be exactly?" I asked.

"It might take a month but you'll learn that it's not worth it" my mum shrugged.

"Well, I'll try to forget" I said.

"Atta girl" my mum said, patting my back.

My mum stood up and walked out the door. I smiled but then my phone started ringing like crazy, blasting the song 'Life In Reverse by Life Will Tell'. I quickly took my phone and answered it.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Emily?" I heard Alex's voice and my eyes widen.

"Alex!?" I shouted as I jumped up.

"That would be me sweetheart" Alex chuckled. I blushed and sat back down on my bed.

"How did you get my number?" I asked once I noticed I never gave him my number.

"Your dad was kind enough to give me your phone number" Alex explained.

"Oh" I said.

"How are you? Did you settle in already?" Alex asked.

"Yeah, I did, how are you going?" I asked.

"It's good but I still miss you" Alex said and I frowned.

"Me too but you have to let it go" I said, remembering what my mum told me.

"It's not easy Emily" Alex whispered.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Nothing" Alex said, quickly.

"Ok then....." I trailed off.

"I called to tell you, I remember something that happened to me" Alex said.

"What's that?" I asked.

"You kissed me at the hospital when I was unconscious" Alex said and my eyes widen.

"How would you know that?" I asked.

"I was awake for a bit but I didn't open my eyes also I remember remember the feeling of your lips on mine" Alex said, dreamily and I blushed.

"You weren't supposed to know about that" I said.

"Well I remember now" Alex said, probably shrugging.

"Uh.......I got to go" I quickly hung up the phone before he could say anything and sighed.

I sighed and fell backwards, on my bed. How the heck did he remember that?! I had completely forgot about that till now and I wish he never found out. I didn't even know he was awake! I thought he was still unconscious, sadly. I don't know why I did that back then but now I do but it's too late, we're thousands of miles apart.

I sighed in frustration and turned my body to the side to look at my window. I held the necklace that Alex gave me on my birthday and smiled down at the necklace. I saw at the side that you could open it and I opened the locket up to see some writing. I read the writing and smiled.

You drive me crazy sweetheart

I laughed a bit, only Alex would write that in a locket. I closed the locket and turned the locket around to see he also engraved the locket.

but I'm falling for you Emily - A

My eyes widen as I kept reading that over and over again, trying to see if I read the locket right or not. I frowned at how stupid I could of been to not know this. I guess we both fell for each other but never got to tell each other since I had to leave for my flight back home. I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

-------------------------------

"Emily! Wake up! You lazy bum!" I heard Jasmine shout as she pushed me making me roll out of bed and groan in pain.

"Fuck!" I swore.

"No swaring!" Jasmine shouted, smiling and I rolled my eyes.

"You pushed me out of bed, of course I should be able to sware!" I shouted as I got up from the floor. 

"Stop being a grumpy pants and get dressed for our first day of college" Jasmine said, excitedly as she jumped around in her dress.

I rolled my eyes and grabbed my clothes. I pushed Jasmine out of my room and shut the door. I changed into a white, sleeveless dress that went up to my thighs and I put on my dark green jacket that went up to my elbow. I put on my black combat boots and one bracelet on each of my wrists. I left my hair down today instead.

I walked out of my room and downstairs to see Jasmine, sitting on James' lap. They were giggling and laughing together. My mum was at work now so no one else was in the house but us. When I look at Jasmine and James, I think about Alex but then I shake the thought away, thinking I'm crazy or something.

"I have to forget" I reminded myself.

"Hey guys" I greeted them as I sat down and put some cereal in my bowl.

"Hey Emily!" they both said in unisom.

"How are you today?" James asked.

"I'm good" I lied.

"Ok then" James nodded.

"Let's go Emily! I want to know what class I'm in!" Jasmine shouted as she jumped up and smiled, excitedly. I smiled and shook my head. I put my bowl in the sink and we both walked towards the door.

"Don't talk to boys! Both of you!" James shouted and we both laughed.

We walked out the door and we got into Jasmine's car. We drove off to our new college which was luckily, five minutes away so we got there quickly and parked in a parking spot. We got out of the car and looked around. Me and Jasmine linked arms and walked towards the entrance till a football hit my head. I groaned and held my head.

"Fuck" I swore. I bent down and grabbed the football. I looked ahead at some football jocks.

"Watch it next time assholes!" I sneered before throwing the football as hard as I could and it one of them on the head making them fall to the floor. They all started laughing as the boy glared at me, sitting up and I smirked at him.

"Think twice next time or it will be much worse then just a football to the head" I threatened before spinning around and walking into the college with Jasmine.

"Nice one Emily" Jasmine said as we both highfived.

"Someone had to tell them" I shrugged.

After we got our timetables, we looked around some more. Me and Jasmine seperated into different area's of the college to look around more since we don't know the college much. I was looking around till I bumped into someone and fell to the floor.

"I just can't get a break today" I mumbled, rubbing my sore head.

"I'm so sorry, are you ok?" a husky voice asked and I looked up at a guy with blonde hair and blue eyes. He reminded me of Alex but I had to shake that memory out.

"Yeah, sorry about that, I wasn't looking" I said.

"Here" he said, stretching his hand towards me. I took his hand and he helped me up. I dusted myself off and smiled at the boy as he smiled back.

"Thank you um...." I trailed off.

"Ian" he said.

"Thank you Ian" I said.

"What's your name?" Ian asked as we walked down the hall together.

"Emily" I said.

"Nice to meet you, you new here?" Ian asked and I nodded.

"Is it that obvious?" I asked and he chuckled.

"Yes it is, you were wondering around like a lost puppy" Ian joked. I nudged his arm and smiled.

"Shut up, it's not my fault" I argued.

"I know it's not" Ian said. The bell rang and I looked at my timetable.

"I have journalism now" I said.

"Me too, I'll show you to your class" Ian offered.

"Thanks, let's go" I said and we walked towards our class.

---------------------------------------------

Jasmine's pov

"James, she's been depressed since last week we came back" I argued to James. We were in the living room of James and Emily's house but Emily was at work. Emily worked as a waitress at a diner down the street.

"I know but what are we going to do about it?" James retorted.

"I don't know but I just can't stand seeing my best friend depressed and sad, she's been lying to us, saying she's ok when she's heart broken inside" I said, frowning.

"I know but what is there to do? She has to get over it" James said.

"There has to be some way to get her back to her happy and funny girl she once was" I said.

"Well it's not like we can get Alex over here and put them together" James said, waving his arms in the air dramatically.

"Maybe there is a way" I said, smiling.

"Oh no, you have that face, what are you up to Jasmine?" James asked, suspiciously.

"Something that might just make Emily happy again" I said as I took out my phone.

"Who are you dialing?" James asked.

"You'll see" I said as I pressed call and put the phone towards my ear.

"Hello?" I heard a tired voice answer.

"Hey Alex, we need your help" I said, glancing at James who's eyes had now widen.

"What do you need help with?" Alex asked, not really caring and I smirked.

"One word, Emily" I said and Alex immediately perked up as we talked abut my crazy idea to make Emily back the way she was and not what she is now.

Emily's pov

It's been a two weeks since we got back home from Paris and I'm still depressed. Everytime someone calls, I ignore it, when someone tries to talk to me, I give them a short answer, I frown everytime I see a passing couple and wonder what could of been. I know I may sound like I'm in some cliché movie and I wish I wasn't but I can't help myself. Stupid Paris, no wonder they call it 'The City Of Love'.

Right now, I was whipping down the counter and frowning as I listened to the song 'Bleeding by The Ready Set' on my headphones. What? Did you expect me to listen to some sad, sappy song? No way! I don't need to be even more depressed then I'm already am! That's just insane and stupid, no offense.

Anyway, I heard the mini bell above the door ring, indicating someone has walked in but I ignored it and rolled my eyes. I heard giggling and laughing of couples around me, even through my music and I growled. I started hearing a different kind of beat and I glanced at my phone to see it was still on the same song.

I heard it again and looked up but then my eyes widen at who I saw on the stage we had here for people who want to sing. He smirked at me but I just stood there, still in shock. He started strumming the guitar a bit before speaking into the microphone.

"This is for a special girl who I've liked for a while now, hope you enjoy sweetheart" he said as he smiled at me but one thing was stuck in my head.

Alex is here, his right in front of me

Alex started strumming the guitar again as he started singing.

 It's been said and done
 Every beautiful thoughts been already sung,
 And I guess right now, heres another one
 So your melody will play on and on with the best of all em
 You are beautiful like a dream come alive, incredible
 A centrefold, miracle, lyrical
 You saved my life again
 And I want you to know, baby

Alex was now standing in front of me and smiling. Alex took my hand and pulled me onto the stage before strumming the guitar again.

I, I love you like a love song baby (3x)
And I keep hitting re-pe-pe-pe-pe-pe-peat, yeah

I smiled at Alex as he smiled back. I started singing this time instead of him.

 No one compares, you stand alone
 To every record I own
 Music to my heart, thats what you are
 A song that goes on and on

Alex went back to singing but this time we had our arms wrapped around each other because Alex's guitar was on the stool.

I, I love you like a love song baby (3x)
I, I love you like a love song

We rested our foreheads on each others and smiled as everyone started clapping and cheering.

"You came, why?" I asked, looking at him in the eyes.

"I wanted to see you again plus Jasmine and James called" Alex said, motioning his eyes to the side and I glanced to the side to see Jasmine and James, grinning. I chuckled and rolled my eyes.

"Of course they did" I said.

"I wanted to say this since your birthday but here it goes, I'm in love with you Emily Summer" Alex admitted, nervously and I smiled, widely.

"Finally!" I shouted before pulling him by his shirt and kissing him. Alex was shocked at first before he wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed back. I smiled into the kiss and wrapped my arms around his neck.

"I'm in love with you too Alex Henderson" I said, once we pulled away. Alex smiled, widely before picking me up and spinning me around. I threw my head back, laughing before Alex put me back down.

"Be my girlfriend?" Alex asked.

"I wouldn't have it any other way" I said before we both kissed each other again with everyone clapping and cheering.

Well, I guess you know my story of how I fell in love with the arrogant boy named Alex Henderson but I still loved him. I guess that's why they call it 'The City Of Love' huh?

THE END! THE STORY IS COMPLETE AND I'M READY TO START MY NEW BOOK 'Rich + Poor = Love' I HOPE YOU WILL LIKE THAT BOOK AND I HOPE YOU LIKED THIS BOOK! I should stop using capital locks but anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter and smile. There is no sequel to this book because I'm making one to my book 'Revenge On The Player' but I enjoyed writing this. Thanks for everthing, love you all! Bye!

ESCOPE OUT! READ MY OTHER BOOK PLEASE!
