Third-Person POV

At 2:00 am, Flynn stood outside Juniper's place, pounding hard on the door. Wrapped in a bathrobe, she opened it with a yawn. Seeing how pale and shaken he looked, she frowned.

"What's wrong? It's the middle of the night, dude… Where's Sophie?"

"I can't get hold of her," he said, his voice gratingly hoarse. "Juniper, has she contacted you at all?"

Juniper's face fell. "No. You know how I've been these past few weeks. I was afraid I'd upset her, so I haven't reached out. I di

  • Changing My Future and Leaving Them Behind   Chapter 10

    Sophie's POVI stayed silent for a moment before gently shaking my head. "Flynn, I used to believe that if I worked hard enough and stood on your level, you'd finally see me. But later, I realized love doesn't work that way."I spent so many years chasing after you that, somewhere along the way, I forgot who I was. I gave up painting—the one thing I loved most—and forced myself to focus on academics, all so I could stand beside you."But your taking me for granted taught me something. The most worthwhile thing a person can do is live a life they truly want. So, Flynn… let's just leave the past where it belongs."Flynn's eyes reddened. "I really know I messed up, Sophie. I…"Before he could finish, his gaze fell to the diamond ring on my left hand. His voice caught, and colors faded from his face. His Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed the rest of his words.It wasn't until much later that I learned what he had left unsaid. He had wanted to tell me about his illness that was slow

  • Changing My Future and Leaving Them Behind   Chapter 9

    Sophie's POVThe next time I saw Flynn, ten years had passed.It was at a small art exhibition in Fereece, where I was invited as a featured artist. The gallery was filled with clusters of visitors chatting quietly as they wandered from painting to painting.Soft lights bathed each piece in a warm glow.A champagne flute in hand, I whisked through the crowd and casually glanced toward a corner of the room. A lean man stood against a marble column, his head tilted slightly as he studied one of the paintings on the wall.The light traced the sharp lines of his profile, giving him a distant, almost lonely air. As if sensing someone watching him, he turned. Our eyes met.After an entire decade, I found myself looking once more into the eyes that had haunted my every waking thought as a teenage girl. It was him, Flynn Sadler.I paused for the briefest moment, then looked away without the slightest ripple of emotion.Funnily enough, I had imagined this reunion countless times, pictur

  • Changing My Future and Leaving Them Behind   Chapter 8

    Third-Person POVSince that day, Flynn searched for Sophie like a man possessed. He called every phone number he could think of and tracked down every person who might know something.The list ranged from a distant relative who had only met Sophie once, to a classmate who had passed her homework back in high school, to the street vendor who sold omelet rolls.As long as someone had crossed paths with Sophie, even briefly, he refused to leave them alone.Still, nobody knew which country the Linwoods had moved to. He searched immigration records, combed through the school's archives, and even asked people to investigate the study-abroad agency that had handled her application.Yet, it was as if she had vanished off the face of the earth. Gone was every trace of her from the city.At first, Flynn had told himself it was okay. No matter where Sophie had gone, he could always get there too and follow her. She had walked 99 steps toward him, and it was time for him to take that last st

I did text her today, though, but she never replied. She always answered me right away before…"Flynn's expression made her anxious. "What happened between you two? Why do I feel like you're hiding something from me?"He rubbed his forehead, frustration filling his voice. "We had a fight. I mean, I didn't even say anything that terrible. I just told her to bring a cake over to you and apologize."You only ran into those bastards because you chased after her when she stormed off. If it hadn't been

  • Changing My Future and Leaving Them Behind   Chapter 6

    Third-Person POVAs dusk fell, the chat between Flynn and Sophie remained silent. Not a single reply came from her.Sitting alone in his car, Flynn subconsciously tightened his grip on his phone. For the first time, he panicked, albeit just a little.Sophie had never been the type to leave someone's messages unanswered. She had only four pinned chats—her mother, her father, Juniper, and him.Ever since they were kids, every contact in her phone had its own unique nickname, notification sound, and chat wallpaper.Once, he had asked her, "You've had this phone number forever. Don't you ever get tired of it? Why not get a better one?"She had simply shaken her head. "I've used this number for so long. I can't bear to change it."Flynn knew how sentimental Sophie was. When they were five, he had given her a little stuffed rabbit. Even after one of its ears fell off, she refused to throw it away.Later, he secretly tossed it out for her, and she cried for an entire month. Buying her

  • Changing My Future and Leaving Them Behind   Chapter 5

    Third-Person POVThe person who opened the door was a middle-aged man. Seeing Fynn standing there aggressively, the man instinctively took half a step back. He looked him up and down cautiously."Who are you looking for, kid?""I'm looking for Sophie Linwood," Flynn answered. "Sir, are you a friend of hers?"The middle-aged man frowned. "Linwood? That family moved."Flynn stiffened. "They moved? Where?""Abroad. The whole family of three left. It was around a few weeks ago," the man said, then took notice of Flynn's stunned expression. "Are you a friend of hers or something?"Flynn didn't answer. He simply looked past the man and scanned the inside of the house. The familiar furniture and layout from his memories were gone, replaced entirely with new ones.He stumbled back two steps and shook his head. "You've got to be kidding… There's no way. She was supposed to enroll at her college. How could she just leave all of a sudden?"The man remained polite, but distant. "That, I w
