All IT TAKES🦋

31» ALL IT TAKES IS *A (GUT)FEELING*

August 3✅

I let out a sigh, looking up at the ceiling. It felt like forever since I've waited for Bunny to come back into the room.

She was not in bed when I woke up and I woke up by fucking 6 just so I am awake before her so I can wish her a happy birthday but she's not even in bed.

She had come into the room and I was just about, so close to letting the words slip my mouth when her phone rings and she disappears out of the room again.

She looked uneasy and I wondered what was putting her on edge, today of all days. I wondered if the call was related to the text she had received two days ago but I couldn't tell as she wasn't telling me anything.

I sigh for like the hundredth time this morning, turning on the bed and picking my phone and I groan when I see the time. It was already 11 and I had not even been able to wish her yet.

She made my birthday so fantastic and I know I can't do much but can she not let me even wish her? I sit up, flipping the braided strand of hair off my shoulder as I glared at the door.

Where the hell is she?

I get off the bed and go to the wardrobe, throwing on a shirt and shorts before heading out of the room. If she won't come in then I'll just go look for her.

After spending about 20 minutes trying to find the whereabouts of my girlfriend who has seemingly disappeared into thin air, I decide to go look for her outside.

I step out onto the beach and walk around the back of the resort and as I come closer I hear a voice. Her voice

I walk over to the place and I see her run her fingers through her hair as she spoke to whoever she was talking to. She had not seen me and so I just stand, making my presence unknown

For her to come all the way here to make a call, she must not have wanted me to know what it was about. Too bad, if she's not going to tell me, I'll just find out myself

"Its so sudden, I can't just move" she says and I can tell she's frustrated

Move? Move to where?

"So what, I should just drop everything here?" She asks and I just stare, trying to understand

"Yes I know but its all too sudden. I have to leave for two years Roco, not two months, two years! To fucking Korea!" She says her voice rising and I feel my heart fall

Moving? What's she saying? My mind was already racing as the bad gut feeling in me started coming again.

"Just give me sometime okay? I'll figure something out" she says before bringing her phone away from her ear and I'm too transfixed to move away and I watch her turn around, her eyes widening as they meet mine.

"Hailey..." She says softly

"Maybe...we should talk about that?" I ask feeling my heart pound fast and hard against my chest

"We should go to the room first"

********

Cause baby you look happier, you do
My friends told me one day, I'll feel it too
And until then, I'll smile and hide the truth
That I know I was happier with you

HAPPIER BY ED SHEERAN

My feet bounced off the ground nervously as I waited for her to say what she was going to. We had been in the room for about 5 minutes and she still hadn't said anything and neither had I

"Bunny, you're making me anxious. Tell me already" I say and she comes to sit on the bed next to me and I turn so I'm looking at her properly

She takes a breath before her lips part open to speak "I have to move to Korea in October" she says "I'm leaving for two years" she adds and I don't even know what to say and I just stare at her with parted lips

"It wasn't meant to be this early but the plans changed" she says after I don't say anything

"Korea?" I ask, my voice a tiny whisper

I recall her telling me she was working there before coming to LA and that she didn't get an apartment because she was going back there soon

"Yeah" she says, her eyes not leave mine

"But...I mean...why...what..." I start and just trail off when I can't form a sentence as my voice breaks and I blink back the tears in my eyes

I clear my throat first "what are you leaving for?" I ask

"Its just...something personal" she says looking down at her fingers

"But...why are you suddenly planning to leave now?" I ask and she tucks her hair behind her ear

"Its not...exactly sudden" she says quietly

"Ah..." I say only, my mind racing and my chest beating so fast, it almost hurt "do you have to go now? You can't hold it off for a while?" I ask

"I wish I could but...I can't. Its been a long time plan?" She says and I nod slowly

"Oh"

I honestly didn't know what to say or what to do. I didn't know how I was supposed to react to what she was saying and I didn't know how to give a reply.

The one thing I was sure of was that I wanted to go under the shower and cry. What happens now? What happens after she leaves? What happens to us? Its barely been 2 months since we started dating and she was already planning to travel all the way to another country, far away from here. Far away from me.

"Hailey, I don't..."

"What happens after you leave? To us? " I ask, deciding to just come out with my thoughts

"I don't know" she says quietly and I let out a sigh as tears sting in my eyes, coming back every time I try to blink them back.

Even she didn't know. I was kind of hoping she would say something comforting like 'it changes nothing between us'. Of course it'd be a lie but I just needed to hear something like that from her but instead she says she doesn't know.

I didn't know and she didn't either so what was going to happen?

I sniff quietly, trying to hold back the tears. I really didn't want to cry right now

"You said you were going to be here, with me" I say feeling the tears slide down my cheeks despite all my efforts  "you... said you weren't going anywhere" I say

"Hailey... I..."

"Let's go back" I say cutting her off "I want to go back home" I say standing up as tears fall down  my face without a care in the world and I just try to push down the sob that fought to escape my lips.

This was the last thing I wanted to do. Cry in front of her. I didn't want her to see me cry and so I just turn my back to her

"Okay"
