Chapter 50



Jess' POV:


I slowly packed the last set of my stuff. Trying to hold on to the last moments I had here.


I know this place wasn't much of a home but it's still hard to leave it. I guess my home in Colorado was a lot easier to leave because I had Sofia with me. But now I'm alone and I can't really do nothing about that so I'm just gonna suck it up.


Ross never came back home or to the Lynch's after he found out about LAD. I know he's upset but he could've at least told someone where he is. I just hope he's okay. I'd hate to lose him.


Well even more than I already have..


He doesn't seem like he's gonna come home anytime soon and I have to leave in 20 minutes.


So I guess I'm gonna have a deja vu moment.


Instead of me getting a note from Ross he's getting a note from me.


I'm sorry. I'm the most horrible girlfriend in the world but you don't know how difficult it was to tell you this. Our relationship has been going somewhere ever since I moved to California about 2 years ago. I knew that with your job and stuff, going to England with me wouldn't be good for you, but it's good for me. Great for me actually. This could really start off my career, more than YouTube has. I could be famous, I could dance for Beyonce or Rihanna. I don't know if you really understand my decision but this is how I feel and I know that I should do this. I do love you, I really would have loved to just snatch that promise ring from you but I couldn't because you'd be here and I'd be there. It'd never work. All the best in life I guess. 


Jessie.


I hope he sees this. I just can't believe he's not gonna say goodbye.

"I can't believe you're actually leaving." Rydel spoke bitterly. 


I gave a sympathetic smile, "Honestly, neither can I." I looked around the airport hoping that my favourite blonde boy would come walking towards me. 


But that wasn't the case. 


"Come on Delly, she needs to leave if she wants to further her career. She could've told us sooner but I'm still proud of her." Riker gave me a small smile and enveloped me in a hug. 


"Thanks Riker." I came out the hug and looked around again. 


"I don't think he's coming." Ryland spoke. He caught me off guard and I just waved it off, "Um, I know, I was just um," I gave a sigh, "Nevermind." 


"9:00 flight to London, England leaves now." 


I let out a breath. He's really not coming. "So um, I left gifts for all of you in the car. And well, I guess I'm leaving now." 


They all gave me a final hug and I walked away. 


This is it. I'm going to London. Take a deep breath Jess, this is the start of your new life. But not quite yet. 


I was spun around and I saw Ross panting infront of me. I let out a breath, relieved that he came, "Ross." 


He shook his head, his falling, "I'm so mad at you. But I wouldn't let you leave without saying goodbye." 


I wiped the tears on my cheeks and kissed him. 


"Last call for the 9:00 flight to London, England." 


Could this lady shut the hell up. 


I saw the pain in Ross' eyes as he let go of me. He was full on crying and I wanted so much to make him feel better but I couldn't. 


"I love you Shor." 


"I-I love you too Jessie."


He turned and walked away, taking the pieces of my heart with him.

~Next Day~


As soon as I arrived yesterday I went to bed. I mean it was a 12 hour flight, I was extremely tired and when I arrived here it was like 4 in the morning and 9 at night in California. 


Time zones are a hell of a thing.


I decided to pack out my stuff one time so I wouldn't have to think about it later so that's what I'm doing.


I can't believe it. I actually moved to London. I'm in London, ready to go to LAD. 


How much times are you gonna say this? 'I'm moving to London' 'I'm going to London' 'I'm actually going to live in London' Like okay, I get it. You're moving to London. Could you just stop. Jeez!


Anyway..


Packing my clothes I just found myself thinking. 


Ross and I have gone through so much and with the way we left things in California I can't help but feel guilty. 


When he left for California when we were 13 I was the girl he left behind. He left me sad and broken and with a heavy heart because of the feelings I had for him. Now, we're 21 and I left for England which makes him the boy she..well I left behind. 


I left him just as sad and broken as he left me. I knew how it felt to be left behind and I still left him. But some part of me finally understands why he left though I knew the reason all the time. 


My passion for dance is the reason I left, dancing is everything to me and it always will be just like how singing and acting is Ross' passion. We left each other for a good reason but that doesn't mean we didn't care about each other. 


I just wish that we didn't always have to leave the other behind.  


I suddenly heard a knock on the door, steering my train of thought off track. I glanced at my phone, 1:29 am. 


Who would even be coming to visit me, I know literally know zero people here. I haven't even met the dean of LAD yet. 


I looked around for the best weapon and laid my eyes on a baseball bat. 


Why is this even here? 


Nonetheless I picked it up and cautiously walked towards the front door. I had the handle in my grasp and I yanked the door open and immediately swung, feeling the contact of the wooden bat to something hard. 


"What the freaking hell!" 


I realised my eyes were closed and I slowly opened them and gasped, dropping the bat in the process. 


The most adorkable boy ever gave a toothy grin, scratching the back of his head, holding the box that showcased the promise ring, "This wasn't how it was suppose to go." 


Still in shock, I let out the breath I didn't know I was holding.


"Ross."
