"You're not leaving?" I asked again as we were in the kitchen.
"Nope." She said placing the milk cartoon back in the fridge.
"Oh no, Sophia." I said grabbing her hand.
"I love you but I didnt fight with you last night for nothing. You are going, now go get ready." A tear ran down her face and she smiled and mouthed "Thank you". Before she walked away, she kissed me, passionately. My lips melted away and I needed to feel her hands on my body so I grabbed her hands and placed them on my hips. She grabbed at my hips before ending the kiss and placing our foreheads against each other.
"Are you sure you want me to go?" She asked, never taking her eyes off me.
"Yes, I'm sure. I want you to be happy Sophia and if your career makes you happy then you need to go do this movie." She hugged me.
"I'll be here when you get back." Then she gave me one last hug before running down the hall back into my bedroom. I sat on the bar stool in the kitchen and put my face in my hands.
"What the hell did I just do?" I said out loud to myself.
"You let her go." I looked up and my mom was standing at the entrance to the kitchen. She came and sat next to me. I looked at her and just started crying.
"Mom." I said, wrapping my arms around her.
"I love her so much." I said through sobs.
"I've never loved someone as much as I love her." She shushed me and rubbed my hair.
"Its going to be okay."
"Mom, I don't know what to do."
"Follow your heart Hanna. Follow what you think is right." She wiped my tears away before getting up.
"Follow my heart." I said, outloud to myself. I sighed and went upstairs. Sophia had the biggest smile on her face.
"Excited?" I asked.
"Yeah! I'm super excited." I raised my eyebrows and looked away.
"Hanna," She said walking over to me.
"Hanna don't cry." She placed her hand on the small of my back.
"Please." I turned around, my face wet with tears.
"Sophia, I think the best thing for us to do right now is break up." She stared at me in shock.
"But, I don't want to break up, I love you."
"Sophia, you're going to Austrailia! I can't do long distance! It kills me just being this far away from you. I don't want to be the reason you aren't following you dream and your career is ruined." She grabbed my hips and pressed our bodies together.
"I don't want to let you go." I pushed her away gently.
"Well I already made the decision." I walked into the bathroom, to get ready to take her to the airport.
"Han, can't we talk about this?" I placed a towel over my mouth to block the incredibly loud sobs coming from me.
"Sophia just leave me alone, please!" I cried.
"Hanna, please don't shut me out. You're all I ever wanted. You're my soulmate, my life." She banged the door again before zipping up her suitcase.
"Are you bringing me to the airport?" I unlocked the door and walked out. I'm pretty sure my face was red and puffy and I didn't give a shit. I walked out of my room and down the hall.
----
"Flight 182 to Sydney, Australia is now boarding." The announcement for Sophia to leave was really hard for me to hear. I started crying, so Sophia put one of her hands on my waist and the other one up to my face.
"Fuck." She mumbled as we pulled away from each other. People were staring and whispering all around us and at this moment, I didn't have a care in the world. The only thing that mattered was Sophia and I spending the last 10 seconds I had with her.
"Sophia, I'll be here when you get back. I'll never leave until I have you in my arms again."
"Miss Louis?" The flight attendant said, interrupting our embrace.
"Coming." She wiped her eyes and kissed me again.
"I love you." She held on to my hands as long as she could before she let go, walking into the terminal to the airplane.
"I love you too." I whispered after she was gone.
Sophia's POV
I can't believe she let me go. God, I wanted to stay in that spot forever with her. Stop time and just be in her arms, kiss her every single day, every second, hold her hand and protect her from the bad things. She was and will always be my Hanna. I put my carryon items on the compartment above and sat down next to a petite, red headed, freckled girl. I stuck my hand out.
"Hello." She turned and looked at me. She had gorgeous emerald eyes. She grabbed my hand, shaking it slowly. Her hands were miniscule and frigid.
"Hello." Her accent was different from what I've been used to hearing about almost everyday, she was Austrailian.
"I'm Sophia."
"I'm Valerie, Val for short." I smiled.
"Want me to show you around Sydney?" I laughed and nodded my head.
"Yes, please. I'll be leaving there for about 3 years."
"Why?" She said, batting her eyes. The plane got ready in the runway and started picking up speed and as soon as it took its front wheels off the ground, Val gripped my hand and I smiled. Oh goodness, why am I feeling this? I just fucking left Hanna and I'm already flirting with this Austrailian girl.
"Hey, how long is the flight anyway?" I asked and she laughed.
"Never been to Aussie before?" I shook my head and she giggled.
"It's about 24 hours, which is long enough." She winked. I closed my eyes and wished nothing was going to happen, but I knew that a wish still wasn't going to stop anything from happening but I could try.
Hanna POV
It's been 2 hours since Sophia left to Australia and I feel like I am going to die if I'm not with her.
"Hanna, do you want something?" My mom asked me as we were all piled in the escalade at the drive through at Nandos.
"No thanks, I don't plan on eating for the rest of my life." My mother rolled her eyes.
"Hanna, it's only 3 years. You will see her again."
"And what if I don't?" She ignored me.
"And can I also have a cheeseburger, no pickles, tomatoes, or onions." Just how I like my burgers.
"What would you like to drink?" The cashier asked through the speaker, my mom turned around and looked at me then looked back.
"A sprite. " I shook my head, my mother knows me too well.
"Is that all?" My nodded her head, then remembered he can't hear her nod so she says yes.
"Okay, your total is €10."
"Thanks." My mom pulled up to the next window.
-4 Hours later-
I kept checking my phone to see if Sophia would call me.
"Hanna?" Olive knocked on my door.
"Come in Oli." I sat down indian style on my bed, she came and sat down next to me.
"You can talk to me you know?" I stared at her and let her words sink in, then it finally hit me and my mouth went dry. I swallow and I felt like I was suffocating and I finally just let it out. Olive grabbed my shoulders and layed my head down gently on her lap. She ran her hand through my hair as I cried and cried and cried.
Soon I stopped crying and I must've fallen asleep because when I woke up, I was laying on my bed, alone, in the dark. I got up and looked around my room and no one was in there. So, as I finally got fed up with the feeling of being alone, I got up and walked out my room,down the stairs and sat down on the couch next to my dad. He was watching Jeopardy.
"Hey." He said, never taking his eyes off the screen. I looked at him.
"Hi."
"Wanna talk?" He said, still looking at the tv.
"Yes." He turned and looked at me.
"What's up kiddo?" I huffed.
"I hate life." He smirked.
"Life will suck now, but eventually you will get use to it and once you're ready, you will be able to go with her and be with her."
"I should have never let her go." I said, a tear sliding down my left cheek. My dad wiped it away with his thumb.
"Stop crying! Enjoy your life Hanna. She loves you, I can see it. I can see how much you love her. She will come back to you, she wants to be with you." I wiped away any stray tears and smiled.
"Thanks Dad, I can always count on to help me." I leaned over and hugged him, he chuckled.
"I love you Hanna, now go upstairs, go get Olive and go out."
"Don't have sex with guys!" I rolled my eyes.
"Yeah, like that is going to happen." I said running up the stairs.
Sophia's POV
"This is the Ambush Gallery." Val said as we walked into a colossal building, paintings and sculptures covered the floor and the walls we were standing on.
"It's gorgeous." I said looking around.
"Yeah, you are." I looked at her. Her cheeks growing red in embarrassment.
'Sorry, I don't even know if you're gay or in a relationship. " She laughed nervously. I stared at her and then erupted in a loud laughter.
"Firsr of all, I don't even know what I am, lesbian, bisexual, I have no clue. And," What do I say? Are Hanna and I together, I mean I know we broke up and all but I still love her and I know she still loves me.
"And I really don't know know about my relationship status." I said with a frown.
"Well maybe I can change that." She said with a wink.
"Are you hungry?" I said changing the subject. I looked past Valerie at a blonde behind her. She looks like Hanna before she dyed it. I miss her blonde hair, I miss her.
"Sophia?" I snapped back to reality when I noticed Valerie was calling my name.
"Yeah?"
"Let's go get something to eat. " I smiled and followed Val out of the Ambush gallery.
Hanna's POV
"Don't you ever say I just walked away, I will always want you, I can't live a lie, I will always want you." Miley Cyrus' new song blared all in the club and it couldn't describe right now any better than I could. Olive and I were both wearing dresses, not the short, sluty type, the pretty yet sophisticated and sexy dresses. My dress went like mid thigh and it flared out, it was black and it was a spaghetti straps with a straight bust line. Olive's was a lime green babydoll dress. It had a sweetheart bust line and it was flowy and glittery. We were dancing and we only went off the floor a couple times to get waters. In the UK, the legal age limit to drink alcohol is 18, but we didn't want to drink. People were staring at us as we were dancing but I didn't care because it was Olive and I, like old times, dancing, having a good time, we haven't had one of these in a long time. I grabbed Olive and hugged her.
"I've missed you." She stared at me and laughed.
"I never went anywhere. "
"I don't care, we haven't done any girl stuff recently and I just missed you." She barely smiled and I could tell why she didn't want to think about the past.
"I've missed you too." She hugged me tighter.
"Hey hot stuff." We turned around and it was some guy who was taller than Olive and I. He looked me up and down.
"Whats your name?" He asked me.
"Um." He raised his eyebrows.
"Um? Nice name." He said laughing.
"Hanna, her name is Hanna." Olive yelled. He looked like a guy out of a Abercrombie and Fitch catalog. Dirty blonde hair that stopped before his thick eyebrows. His eye color wasn't very noticeable because of the clubs lighting. He shirt clung to every muscle outline in his arms and his pants hugged his muscular thighs and calfs. I think Olive was pratically drooling over him.
"Hi Hanna." He said with a smile, reaching for my hand.
"Care to dance?" I looked at Olive and she nodded yes like a billion times. I rolled my eyes.
"I guess." Calvin Harris' 'I need your love' was blasting through the whole club and everyone was on their feet dancing.
He was watching my every move. The way my hips move with the beats and then he grabbed my hips and pulled me close to him to where we were chest to chest. We stood on the dance floor, like statues and I stared into his eyes. I finally realized that his eyes were a dark chocolate brown like Sophia's and I suddenly couldn't breathe. I ran out of his arms, hitting people as I ran out into the streets. Tears were streaming down my cheeks.
"Sophia!" I screamed in the streets. I dropped to my knees in the street. Olive came after me and so did mystery man.
"Hanna, get up." I couldn't get myself together. I felt like a failure.
"Sophia. Sophia. Sophia."
"Who's Sophia?" Mystery man asked Olive, picking me up Bridal style and walking over to my car, placing me in the passengers seat.
"Someone not important, look here's Hanna's number," She said taking his phone and pressing buttons."
"She is important. Very important." I said mumbling to myself.
"Wait!" I said to mystery man.
"What's your name?"
"My name is Ryan."
Sophia's POV
Her hands were wrapped around my waist and pushing me down the hallway until my hotel room. I pecked her lips before I slid my hotel card out of my back pocket and swiped it through the lock. The green light blinked, allowing us to open the door, I pushed the door open and swung her around gently to where her back was facing the room. My hands were on her hips while we are our way to the bed. I gently pushed her down onto the bed and straddle her waist. I started unbuttoning her shirt and it revealed scars all over. She tried to cover them up but I pushed her hands out of the way.
"Whats this?" Tears were coming down her face, but she wasn't making a sound.
"Valerie?"
"When I was 16, I was at some college party with some friends. My girlfriend Rae, wanted to drink some beer and I was okay with it because I was the DD for the night since I had an important test the next day and I didn't want to have a hangover. After a couple hours later, I started drinking some soda but someone spiked it with roofies and some alcohol, I have no idea who did it. I thought I was perfectly safe to drive home until I was running a red light and smashing into the side of a Semi truck. It was Rae and I and also a couple of other people in the car. The windshield shattered and hit my chest, not causing much damage." By this time, she was full out crying and she couldn't breathe.
"I looked over at Rae and she was sitting there all bloody. She had hit her head on the window and her head was bleeding. I tried so much to wake her up until I looked at her chest and saw bloody dripping down her cleavage from her neck and that's when I noticed that glass had cut Rae's throat." She said covering her mouth.
"It's all my fault. Rae was the love of my life. I wanted to marry her, I wanted to grow old with her and I had to go to that stupid college party. I had to listen to her." She screamed. I rubbed her back and layed my head on her shoulder and then I started thinking about Hanna. All I could think about was Hanna, I could barely think straight about what was happening now. Hanna was going through my mind. Our memories, her voice, her laugh, her smile, her everything. Hanna was, is my Rae. If what had happened to Rae happened to Hanna, I wouldn't be able to live on this planet without her. I would die for her. She's my soulmate and no one could ever change that.
"I have a Rae." I said, softly.
"What?"
"The way you feel about Rae and how you still love her? I feel the same about someone. "
"Where is she?"
"In London."
"Why the hell are you here then? You have the chance to be with her. Go be with her, go do the things I will never have the chance to do with Rae." She kissed me on the lips, hard and smiled.
"Go be with your Rae." I smiled, grabbed my key and my phone and ran out of the hotel room as fast as I could.
Hanna's POV
"Hanna?" My eyes fluttered open, revealing Olive with a clear glass of water. I sat up on my elbows.
"Here." She handed me the cup and I gulped it down.
"Thanks. " I said, placing the cup on my bed side table.
"Are you okay?" I started crying again and shook my head.
"Oh Hanna. " She grabbed my head and placed it on her shoulder.
"It's going to be okay. I promise."
"I love her Olive. I love her so much it hurts." Barely coming out right, it probably didn't even sound like that.
"I know you do. My parents were together for over 30 years and I have never seen 2 people love each other more than you and Sophia love each other." She fingered my hair and then I heard the doorbell.
"I'll go check." Olive said, getting up.
"My parents aren't here?"
"No, they took Jessie and Matt shopping." I nodded my head.
"I'll be right back." I could hear everything that was happening, Olive walking down the stairs, unlocking the door and opening it. I couldn't hear who was at the door.
"Hanna, come here!" Olive screamed. I jumped up out of bed, I didn't care what I looked like, my friend was in danger and I needed to help her. I ran down the hall, never looking at who was there because I was actually scared.
"Hanna." Olive said. I looked up and I suddenly couldn't breathe.
"What are you doing here?" Her long brown hair was in their natural waves around her beautiful face. I couldn't help but smile and get all tingly inside.
"I couldn't help being away from you." She said with a smirk on her beautiful face.
"I missed waking up to those blue eyes of yours. " I bit my lip.
"I've missed you." I said, walking over towards the door frame that she was leaning against.
"I've missed you too." She said.
"Oh stop the crap and just kiss each other all ready." Olive said, walking back to my room and leaving us alone.
"Sophia." I said reaching out towards her.
"Hm?"
"I never want to experience that feeling ever again." She smiled while placing her hands around my waist and lifting one hand towards my chin.
"You will NEVER experience the feeling ever again, I promise because I will never leave you again." She said before bringing her head down and placing her soft, pink perfect lips onto my lips. We moved in rythem for what seemed like hours. My hands were running through her hair and she was running her hands all around my body. This felt so right, being with her. After we both pulled away to catch our breaths, Sophia looked me in the eyes, long and hard.
"I was not prepared for this at all and I was thinking about it the whole plane ride over here." I was so scared, I didn't know what to think of. She looked at me once more before laughing softly to herself.
"Hanna..." She said, kneeling down on one knee. I gasped and placed my free hand over my mouth.
"While I was in Sydney, I wasn't sure if I was going to see you again. In fact, I was positive I wasn't going to see you again. I had met this red head on the plane over to Australia and she taught me some things. She taught me that I should never give up on love because it could be taken away within seconds. I thought that I could possibly forget about you so you could live your life and maybe find someone your own age and better who wouldn't have to leave you but I couldn't stay away and this might sound selfish Hanna but I wanted you for myself. I didn't want anyone else to have you. I wanted to be the one at the end of the aisle, be the one to place the ring on you, I want us to be parents, together, I want to grow old with you and watch our grandchildren play. You're the one Hanna, you've always been the one, ever since the first time in New York. It was faith that we met, we were met to be and I couldn't stand not having you. Hanna, your the love of my life and you have taught me how to love myself and how to love someone else. You're beautiful and the most amazing women and person I have ever met, I couldn't be able to love with myself if you were with someone else." Tears were falling down my cheeks and I could barely breath. She always knew how to take my breath away and she always did when she could.
"Hanna all that I'm trying to say is, I love you and I want to spend the rest of our lives together. Hanna Elizabeth Montgomery, will you..." She stopped before she finished to wipe a tear that I hadn't noticed there, away.
"Ask her already before I die!" Olive yelled from down the hall, smiling.
"Will you marry me?" I bent down until my knees were on the ground as well and we were face to face. We stared into each other eyes.
"Yes." I said softly.
"Yes, a million times yes." She smiled, widely and placed her hand behind my neck and brought our lips together.
"I love you." She said, placing our foreheads against each other.
"I love you." I said before kissing her back.

I'm sorry that it took forever for this chapter to come out, I just wanted it to be perfect. I really don't know whem the sequel will be out, probably whenever I'm not busy everyday where I can actually focus on the chapters because I'm writing another book as well and I don't like writing two at the same time, so I'll probably post when I'm going to start writing it but it probably won't be soon. Also, I do realize that this story has TONS of misspells and errors but I post these chapters without proof reading them and after this story is completed, which it is, I will be editing them soon. Thank you again, I love you all sooooo much! Oh and leave a comment down below on what you think Hanna and Sophia's relationship name should be, best one will have the epilogue dedicated to them and I'll name the epilogue that as well.
