Our Last Day Novels & Stories

Chapter 32 I could feel Jen and Karmi's sticky looks at me the next morning when Esra woke me up. I even had breakfast. I feel like they want to gossip, but they can't do it until now, because even now Esra is still with me. I don't know why he is like this. In fact, today is our last day here at the resort. Last shoot for this location. And most of all, I am excited to go home. "Triah," Esra grabbed my attention while my eyes were on something else. Earlier, I watched them with Direct and our colleagues who were already preparing for the final scene.

“Um… is there anything we should know?” “NO, and do NOT bring it up while Ryan’s there, okay?” “Jeez, we’re not STUPID. We just wanted to know.” “Well, now you know.” “Alright, well… see you soon.” “See you soon.” The last thing I heard before I hung up was Rob saying in the background, “We totally need to get those selfies before they break up, dude.” We left two days later, and said goodbye to the MacCruders the night before.

All of us. Whole. I woke to pre-dawn light. One day left. One final day to prepare. To finalize. To make peace with the possibility we might not survive. I dressed. Headed to the training yard.

"Are you ready?"

I really have made it clear to him, earlier, to just walk so that he would be safe. Then, as the afternoon went on, while the party continues at the gym, I took my girl to our rooftop as the sun is about to set. We just want to witness it together for our last day in this place. We might not be here for a long time since we would finally be saying goodbye to this awesome and wholesome academy. We are gonna miss this place because this is where we spent most of our time together. And, here is where it all began. Me and her, my redhead angel.

I placed the papers on the table, neat and tidy. I was going to leave a message for her, but I did not go through with it. Instead, I said it in my mind, 'Hey honey, this is the last time I'm calling you that, I guess. I spent ten years in love with you. It's really hard doing that, I know, but I'm giving up anyway. Congratulations, to both you and me.' I grabbed my suitcase. The moment the countdown was over, I put my hand on the doorknob.

The struggles and sorrows of that other life were finally sealed away—gently, tenderly, by the hands of time. -THE END-

I nod, throat tight, adrenaline finally starting to drain out and leave something rawer underneath. "Ten minutes," I say quietly. "That's how close I came to losing everything I've built here over one deleted file." "I know." His expression doesn't soften. "Which is exactly why this ends. Soon. However it has to." I find Octavia at the coffee station twenty minutes later, composed as ever, like the last hour never happened anywhere near her. "Rough day?" she asks, not quite looking at me. "You could say that."
