Why not now / Ondreaz Lopez

Chapter 13. I can't

Ondreaz's POV

These last three days Hope has been acting wired. She shared her food with me, she never does that!

Today I woke up and she wasn't there. I saw an envelope on the nightstand but I think it's just Hope's dad's. He often sends letters to her. I got up, showered, brushed my teeth, and went downstairs to the kitchen. Everyone was there except Hope, Nila, and Lola.

"Where's Hope?" I asked. They all just looked at me. I don't know what's going on. "Why are you all looking at me like that, where is she?" I asked concerned.

"Tony, will you?" Kouvr told Tony.

"Will he what?!" I asked. I'm getting scared now.

"Bro... She's home..." Tony said.

"Clearly she isn't!" I said to him.

"No, she is home-home..." He said. Then it got to me: She left for Croatia!

"W-w-what?" I said just about to cry.

"She couldn't say goodbye to you so she left you a letter," Tony said. The letter on the nightstand is for me. I didn't say anything just rushed upstairs to my room and opened the letter. I set on the floor and read it.

Dear Ondreaz,
I love you more than anything and because of that I couldn't bring myself to say goodbye and look at you. I know you're hurting right now, I am too, but it's for the best. These past three months we're the best three months in my whole life and thank you for that. I know we will never see each other again but I'll never forget you. I hope you find the one for you and be happy. Thank you for opening the new world for me and I will miss you!

Love, Hope!

I can't believe she left. I just started crying like never before. I don't know what to do. At that moment Tony walked in.

"Are you ok bro?" He asked me.

"No..." I barely said it.

"It'll be ok, you'll get through this!" He said trying to comfort me.

"No, it won't, I don't know what to do!" I said.

"It will! One day you will find someone who will make you feel happy!" He told me.

"NO, SHE WAS, IS, AND WILL ALWAYS BE THE ONLY ONE FOR ME!" I said. He just looked at me not knowing what to say. "Can you just leave me alone for now?" I asked him. He got up and went to the door. As he was about to walk out he stopped.

"Just come eat something..." He said.

"I'm not hungry..." I said and he left.

For four hours I just laid there on the floor and looked at the wall thinking about these past three months. Right now I just want to hear her voice. So I picked up my phone and dialed Hopes number.

Hope's POV

We landed yesterday and my dad picked us up. It's 3 in the morning and I can't sleep. I just looked at the wall al all of a sudden my phone started ringing. It was Ondreaz. I don't want to talk to him so I just decline it. But he called again and again. I don't want him to wake up my parents so I picked up.

Phone call
Hope
Ondreaz

Hello?

Hope?

Yeah, why are you calling at 3 in the morning?

I'm sorry, but I just need to hear your voice.

(There was silence, I didn't say anything.)

Hope, please talk to me!

(Silence again.)

Hope, why did you leave?

Because I had to!

But why didn't you say goodbye?

I don't know how to say goodbye to someone I love and will never see again!

Why do you say that? We can see each other, you can come to visit and we can talk on the face time all the time.

No, I can't, you don't know how expensive just flight is for us...

I could pay for your flight, and you could bring your dad, I would love to meet him!

No Ondre, I don't want you to spend your money on me, and my dad doesn't want to get on the plain.

Well, I could come to visit you...

Ondre, why can't you just accept that we can't be together?!

I don't want to believe that!

BUT WHY?!

BECAUSE I LOVE YOU!

THAN STOP LOVING ME!

I CAN'T!!!

(Silence, again.)
And of the phone call

I didn't know what to say to him so I just ended the call. He called again but I just turned my phone off and went to sleep crying.

Why is it so hard to forget about him? I have fallen in love with him so hard and I don't know what to do...
