Scenario: I decided to try one out based off a song. The song is basically going to describe the story as it goes on.
Song: Let her go by Passenger

Jessie's POV

*flashback*

Two weeks ago.......
"I can tell you hiding something from me Y/N so why won't you just tell me?" I ask getting frustrated. "Listen it's not easy for me to say this because I don't know how it will affect both of us why won't you get that!" "You know that I would support you no matter what so why is this any different Y/N!"

"You know what I'm done! You wanted to know so badly huh?! Well I'm leaving Jessie and there's nothing I can do about it! You're staying here in America but I'm getting sent to Lyon!" She says while her voice starts to crack. "When are you leaving?" I ask. "Tomorrow"she whispers. "WHAT! AND YOU WAITED UNTIL TODAY TO TELL ME?!" After that I just lost it. "You know what? Go ahead. It's not like I could've stopped you anyways. Go live your life and find someone new over there in France because I'm done." And with that I left Y/N standing there speechless.

When I start the car the first song that comes on happened to be her favorite.

"Well you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Only know you love her when you let her go
And you let her go"

That was all it took to make me start crying. I know I made a mistake but it's not like I could make it up to her she's leaving anyways. Just like that the love of my life is slowly slipping away from my grasp.

"Staring at the bottom of your glass
Hoping one day you'll make a dream last
But dreams come slow and they go so fast
You see her when you close your eyes
Maybe one day you'll understand why
Everything you touch surely dies"

While I'm staring at my empty glass I can't help but think about her and how much I loved her. I never got to tell her because I was scared. I saw a future with her but now it's all gone. Maybe one day she'll understand why I reacted like that even though I shouldn't have.

"Cause you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Only know you love her when you let her go
Staring at the ceiling in the dark"

After downing another shot I can't help but let everything out silently. She was the light of my life, my oxygen and my reason of living and now she's gone.....

"Same old empty feeling in your heart
Love comes slow and it goes so fast
Well you see her when you fall asleep
But never to touch and never to keep
'Cause you loved her too much and you dive too deep
'Cause you only need the light when it's burning low"

I don't know why I was so stupid.... I should've let her talk! Now I ended things and she probably hates me. I decided to leave the bar before something else happened. I can't help but feel empty inside as all the happiness I had inside me left my body.

"Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Only know you love her when you let her go
And you let her go
Oh oh oh no
And you let her go
Oh oh oh no
And you let her go"

She was my favorite person and I enjoyed every moment with her. The night we sat out to watch the sunset our senior year when I finally asked her to be my girlfriend. I set up a blanket with food at the top of a hill and waited for her to arrive. Her smile never left the whole time and she instantly said yes. And we both shared our first kiss. Now thinking back at it all I can to is cry and punch things out of anger without thinking. I made the dumbest mistake of letting the love of my life go and I'm gonna pay for it.......

Y/N POV

I didn't expect her to end things but I guess I deserved it. I loved that girl with every fiber in me but I never got the chance to tell her. She probably hates me and there's no point in trying anymore she's gone. Now I'm sitting here crying. While I finish packing I wish I was with Jessie and I was in her arms for the last time. She never let me explain but what I did was wrong anyways so she had the right to get mad.

"Well, you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Only know you love her when you let her go"

The place that I called home for the last four years didn't feel like home anymore... at least not without Jess. Everything reminds me of her and it just makes my heart hurt even more. The box that contained my mom's necklace ,which was going to become Jessie's after today, is thrown across the room out of anger and frustration. Everything starts to hit me at once as I finally realize that it's over, she's gone....

The next day I went over to the airport while I was trying not to have another breakdown. I left a letter for Jessie which had my flight information in hopes that she came. But today I realized that maybe my life would be better without her since she never even let me explain my reasoning and she ended things. I still slightly hoped she would show up.

"Cause you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Only know you love her when you let her go"

Jessie's POV

After finding Y/N's letter I instantly rushed to the airport in hopes that it wasn't too late. It's 8:20 and her flight starts boarding at 8:30 holy shit I need to go! I finally spot Y/N but as soon as I do someone comes over the intercom: "Flight 1423 to Lyon,France is now boarding" "Y/N WAIT" I say while running.

Y/N POV

"Y/N WAIT!" The unmistakable voice of Jessie Fleming is heard. I turn around with tears in my eyes and just shake my head before walking off to my terminal.

"S-she moved on a-already?" I ask Teagan with tears in my eyes. "It's time to move on too buddy I get that you still love her but she's gone and I'm sorry" "She's actually gone.." I whisper.

















"And you let her go"
