She’s right. I am the one that screwed up this relationship from the beginning. I set all of this in motion knowing what the final outcome would be. Hearing her say the words though, has finally made me realize how stupid it was for me to come here. Why did I ever think that she would just leave with me?

I look into her eyes one last time. “I love you more than you will ever know, Jessie, and I will never stop. You are it for me, even if you don’t feel the same. I am going to walk away from you if that’s what you want. I need you to say it to me though, and you have to be sure. Once I am gone, there is no coming back.”

She takes a deep breath. Please tell me to stay. Say you love me. “We have to be done. I’m sorry.”

I nod my head. “If that’s what you want then I’ll leave. It will fucking kill me to walk away from you, but I love you enough to honor what you want. There isn’t any going back now though.” I place my hand on her cheek trying to memorize the feel of her skin against mine. My chest feels like it has been ripped in half, and it hurts just to breathe. My head dips down and I press my lips against hers. Her mouth opens for me and I slide my tongue in needing to taste her and drown myself in her one more time before I walk away.

Jessie pulls away from me and looks down at the floor refusing to meet my eyes. I can tell she is struggling with this decision but she isn’t budging either.

I lift her chin so that her gaze meets mine once more. “Goodbye, Jessie. I hope that you have an amazingly happy life. You deserve it.” I walk out of her bedroom and sneak back out through the back door. I get in my truck and beat the shit out of the dashboard. I hit it so hard I’m surprised the airbag doesn’t pop out.

I take out my phone to call the captain.

“Hello?”

“Get everything set up. I’m leaving tomorrow.”

I hang up without waiting for his reply.

I cannot believe that this is how it all turned out. This is how we turned out.

I thought coming here and having her realize I was still alive and I still loved her would be enough. It wasn’t because I hurt her too much. I forced her to let me in, made her walls crumble, only to have her build even thicker ones in their place. I meant what I said to her, there will never be anyone else for me.

It will always be her.
