Goodbye for Good Chapter 9 Moving Forward
This time, I immediately called the coach for help. By the time he arrived, Owen already had Derek pinned against the wall.Derek refused to give up, struggling as he shouted threats of making Owen pay.I stared at the scene before turning to speak with the coach. "Derek has seriously violated the team's rules. I don't think he's fit to be on the field."The coach raised an eyebrow. Judging by the look he was giving me, Owen's gossip held more than just a nugget of truth. The coach had clearly been considering the same thing I'd just suggested."Coach, Derek has already allowed his emotions to affect the last match, and now he's gotten into a fight with a teammate over his personal affairs. If this keeps up, I'm afraid he'll end up hurting the entire team's chances."Even though this soccer league was part of a tourism promotion program, any negative publicity would reflect badly on the city's reputation.The coach thought it over and reviewed the security footage. In the end, he
Goodbye for Good Chapter 8 No Turning Back
During that time, Derek tried every possible way to find me. He messaged mutual friends on WhatsApp, called people I knew, and asked everyone where I'd gone.Some of the more soft-hearted ones even told me how much Derek missed me. I just smiled and said nothing.I didn't see Derek again until more than 20 days later. I had returned to practice with the cheer squad while he was there for soccer training.The moment he saw me, he mistakenly assumed I'd come to my senses and had returned to him."Lily, I knew you couldn't bear to leave me. Do you have any idea how much I've missed you? I'm sorry, Lily. I know I hurt you. I promise it'll never happen again."I withdrew my hand from his grip. "Let go. You're interrupting my practice.""No. I'm not letting you go this time."He reached out to hug me, but Owen stepped in front of him. "Derek, can't you see Lily isn't interested?"Derek's temper flared instantly. "Owen, this is between Lily and me. Stay out of it.""And what if I don
Goodbye for Good Chapter 7 An Unexpected Favor
More than half a month had passed, and Derek still hadn't been able to reach me. Another weekly league match came around, but Derek never spotted me among the cheer squad.He had always assumed I'd left in a fit of anger and that I couldn't bear to walk away from him. He never expected me to leave so decisively. To him, my departure had been so abrupt that he hadn't even had time to process it.Derek was so lost in thought that he didn't even notice the ball coming his way."Derek, what are you spacing out for? Didn't you see the ball?"It was a shot he could've stopped, but the other team scored because he'd been distracted.Halftime arrived, and the cheer squad took the field. Anna flung herself around just as badly as ever.I watched it all on my phone, my lips inadvertently turning themselves upside down in distaste. I had tuned in to watch Owen, but instead I got treated to this joke of a performance.I had no interest in watching Anna's grade-school routine, so I closed th
Goodbye for Good Chapter 6 A Warm Welcome Home
As soon as I stepped off the plane, I saw my mom. She stood there holding a bouquet of flowers, welcoming me home. I shoved my emotions aside and gave her a bear hug.Mom never wanted me to follow Derek. I was the one who had insisted on chasing after him. Three years later, I finally understood why she'd tried so hard to stop me."Mom, thank you for waiting for me.""Silly girl. What are you thanking me for? I'm your mother, not Derek."I laughed at that. She had a point. Derek would make things difficult for me because of someone from his hometown. My mother would never do such a thing."Sweetheart, there's someone else here to see you.""Who?""Me." A familiar yet unfamiliar man stepped forward. "Owen Parker."I looked at him in surprise. "Aren't you Derek's teammate?"I'd only met Derek's teammates once, and only briefly. So, I could barely recall any of them. Still, I remembered him. There had always been something about him that stood out to me.Owen smiled. "I am Derek
Goodbye for Good Chapter 5 Walking Away
I walked down the street alone. The sun had just risen, and the soft morning light wrapped around me with a gentle warmth. But my heart still felt cold.Three years ago, Derek had traveled everywhere chasing his dream. And I had followed him everywhere because I was chasing Derek.I thought that as long as we stayed united, we could build a good life together. I believed he'd achieve his dream.But three years later, I had nothing. I had arrived surrounded by excitement. Now I was leaving completely alone. I had nothing left.Love. Dreams. I had failed to hold on to either of them. Only then did I realize what a joke the past three years had been.How could anyone be as foolish as I was? Foolish enough to love someone with everything I had. Foolish enough to give up everything for him. Foolish enough to abandon my own dream just to support his.It had to end here. I would treat this pain as a warning from life.… Derek spent the entire day looking for me after he woke up. He c
Goodbye for Good Chapter 4 The End of Us
I had booked a ticket to leave the next morning. Just like that, my three-year relationship with Derek came to an end.But I did not sleep well that night. My dreams were filled with all the times Derek had chosen Anna over me and left me feeling hurt.Then, a deafening crash jolted me awake. I glanced at the clock. It was a little after four in the morning.At first, I thought someone had broken into the apartment. But the next second, my bedroom door was kicked open with a violent bang.Before I could even see who it was, Derek's furious voice rang out."What was that message you sent Anna supposed to mean? Do you have any idea she cried all night because of you? I finally managed to calm her down. You're not getting any sleep tonight until you explain yourself."I rubbed my temples, exhausted. I really did not want to keep getting tangled up with them. So I grabbed my suitcase and headed for the door.But as I passed Derek, he grabbed the suitcase and hurled it away. It slamm
