We’ve been on the bus for a little too long and I’m starting to go stir crazy. I know everything is wild and carefree right now, but our next stop is our last stop together. The summer has been amazing, but he has college in a couple weeks and has to go live his life how he’s supposed to. He wants to be a lawyer, and I’m not sure what I’m going to do with my life yet. I want to continue being free, enjoying traveling for as long as I can before I have to face reality.

So here I am, staring out of the window, waiting for Salt Lake City to appear, because I know what happens when we arrive. He leaves and I move on.

“What’s the plan for when we get there? You said you found something to do?” Westley yawns and stretches out. It’s been wonderful having him along for the ride, even if I always knew this is where we’d end up. He talks about endgame, but I’m not his endgame. I’m his distraction before he runs off to be a badass lawyer.

I don’t want to tell him what the plan is exactly, because we’re going straight from the bus station to the airport. I’ve already bought his ticket and he leaves in five hours.

“You’ll have to wait to see when we get there.” I reply as he takes my hand in his, holding it as if we’re a real life couple. The problem is, I never wanted to be a proper couple. This was supposed to be a fling, a wild summer ride, next stop. Reality.

As the bus pulls into the station, I suddenly feel like a terrible person. My palms are sweaty and my stomach is in knots. But I can do this. I said no feelings and I broke my own rule.

This one person has my whole heart and I fucked up allowing him to get under my skin. West grabs our bags as I slip my backpack over my shoulders and we all file off the bus.

Stretching, I take in a deep breath, hoping it’ll calm my nerves. It doesn’t, why would it? I’m about to break both of our hearts, ending this with a plane ticket back home for him.

“Where to?” He asks, I just start walking without saying a word and he follows. He’d follow me to hell if I let him and that’s part of the problem. I will drag him down, ruining any chance he has at becoming a normal human or a legendary lawyer.

We walk for a while, just taking in the sights, not saying a word to each other until he sees the same sign I see.

Salt Lake City International Airport. I’m not sure how long we’ve been walking, but West full blown stops and I turn back to look at him knowing damn well my face is giving away what I’m about to do.

“I’m not leaving Kitty.” He says, shaking his head violently.

“You are, you have a life to get back to.
