HER | Chance Sutton

"Chance?" I asked walking into his and Tony's bedroom.

"Yeah?" He said from his chair as he played xbox.

"I came to bring some stuff you left at my place", I said with caution. I really didn't know what to say.

"Great, leave it on my bed", he said without pausing the game or looking at me.

"Okay", I placed the things where he told me too. "I wanted to say goodbye too" tears threatening to fall.

"Sure, bye", he said not caring a little bit about what I was really trying to say.

"I'm done, I'm leaving, Chance" i said referring to the trip I was starting tonight, which I didn't know yet when it was ending and this rollercoaster of a relationship-if you could still call it that when you spent the past month without having a decent conversation.

"Okay...? Bye Mel" he nonchalantly said.

"Okay... bye", I said before leaving his room, hoping he would understand how much pain and heartbreak I was feeling for the last month and in this exact moment. I hoped too that he realized all the things he had ruined and tried to convince me to stay. Sadly, this wasn't the case.

"How was it?" Tony asked regarding my breakup/goodbye with Chance as I walked downstairs.

"Well, I'm leaving aren't I?" I said with a sad laugh.

"Maybe it's a sign, you're meant to leave the country for a bit. Have a break, I don't know", he said trying to make things less awful than they already were.

"Maybe, it just hurts", I said playing with the hem of my tshirt.

"Well, try not to think about it and go have a great time", he said wrapping his arms around me. "I'll miss you a fucking lot"

I think Tessa, Jake, Nick, Ray, Alex, Nathan and Tristan heard us talking because a couple of seconds later they had joined us in a group hug.

"I'm going to miss you loads, my love", Tessa said with tears in her eyes.

"We're all gonna miss you, gorgeous", Jake said joining the hug.

"You're all acting as if I'm not coming back", I said as the hug broke.

My phone vibrated, a text message from my uber driver. She was waiting for me outside.

"Who's not coming back?" Chance asked from the stairs with a smile, as soon as he saw my teary eyes he frowned in confusion but still walked past and away from us.

It hurt as hell, but I still tried to put a smile on my face. I may looked like a crazy person, tears falling nonstop and a smile that probably looked like a pained face.

"I'm sorry", Tessa said realizing everything.

"It's not your fault. But well, I better get going. I have a long flight ahead and my uber is already outside", I said walking out of the house after last hugs.

"Uber for Melissa Ruiz?" Joanne, my uber driver, asked as soon as I jumped inside the car.

"Yes, hey", I timidly said. "To the airport please", I said not remembering if I put the correct destination when I ordered the Uber.

I started recalling on every time Chance said he didn't have time to hang out or to answer any of my texts and calls. But juat like my mom told me once, if someone doesn't have at least the time to send a short text or make a quick call, the person just doesn't care enough for you. It just made me think back trying to find the moment where everything fell apart.

This week I had made a lot of decisions, rushed ones apparently.

I just hoped every decision was the correct one.
