Kierra’s Pov

No one said a word after the burial. Everyone simply went home, Xander, Maya, even chase and Kate, everyone was gloomy,sad,her death made us know that no matter how much people get on your nerves you can never wish them death, it’s really nice to know sadly her death brought us closer,because Now she’s only a memory in our hearts we would never see her again.

 

I refused to come out of my room for the rest of the day I simply slept and by the time I got up it was already late in the night,so I put my phone to charge and went back to bed immediately.
Sundays we’re never my thing so I did my morning prayers and a little chores before going back to bed for some strange reason I really didn’t want to face mom right now her words struck me deep,i know am being really selfish by choosing love over a six months tour which would bring me exposure,mom would be proud and dad would be extremely happy,but instead I’ll rather drop out of the competition and be with Xander instead and that makes me feel so fricking bad.
I don’t even want to see anyone right now am too confused to even think straight but I really need to make a choice the finals are tomorrow after school so whether I like it or not by tomorrow I would have to decide on what to do.

I kept staring at the window silently as my eyes watered up,i can’t leave Xander it hurts too much but my parents would be extremely disappointed if I drop out of the competition everything is just so damn complicated.

I covered myself off In my little dark room before shutting off the night light even though it was barely noon,although my room was dark because the curtains were closed still I just wanted to close my eyes and imagine things weren’t so bad like they are right now.

“Hey baby girl.. Mum said walking in.

“Hey mum… I said trying to sound neutral.

“You’ve barely come up since yesterday you sure you’re okay.

“Yeah am just tired the finals are tomorrow anyways

“You know we’ll always be right beside you win or loose dear.

“I know mum…I said standing up.

“Whatever you do dear don’t forget to do whatever makes you happy no one else matters here… She said pecking me lightly.

“Sleep tight hun…She said shutting the door.

“Whatever makes me happy… I thought before closing my eyes going back to bed.

 

My alarm wouldn’t stop ringing as I raised my hands to hit the snooze button,groaning as I steeped in my slippers before taking a good look at myself in the mirror.
So much has changed about me in the past few months I’ve grown much more mature my body has developed greatly and I have xander Thompson.
A few months ago I would have slapped someone hard if they ever told me Xander would be mine but right now he’s at my fingertips I have him all to myself but toddy I might as well just loose him.
I can’t do this to my family I can’t be so selfish as to choose Xander over them so I made up my mind I was gonna participate in the competition and I was gonna give it my everything now it’s up to the judges to trade us apart.
Seeing this might be my last day at every green,i took my time to get dressed applying more make up than usual before picking a beautiful Maron green floral dress which stopped just below my knees,i grabbed my headset and my phone practicing my song for today before heading downstairs as it hit me I hadn’t spoken to Xander in two days, I wonder if he was still gonna pick me up today or not.

“He’s waiting outside… Max said as I forced a smile.

“Knock em dead sis but don’t forget whatever makes you happy… He repeated as we hugged.

I stepped outside my whole being shivering from what I was about to do as I heaved a sad sigh before opening up the passenger door as I stared at Xander silently.

“Xander I…

“I love you Kierra… He said before claiming my lips,his seat belt causing troubles for us.

“I love you more… I said holding his neck as we stared into each others eyes.

“I know you can’t back out… He said caressing my face.

“I want to Xander heaven knows I want to… I said staring at him.

“But you can’t I get it… He said moving away.

“Xander… I said my heart shattering.

“Skip school with me seeing this might be our last day together.

“Where to… I said putting on my seat belt.

“Anywhere… He said driving off.

 

“Xabderrrrrr… I screamed as the Ferris wheel went down.

“Scardy cat… He said chuckling

It’s been approximately 6 hours now,i kept track of time since I didn’t wanna miss the finals first we saw a movie, had brunch and now we’re at the fair, I told xabder I was scared of the rides but instead he dared me to go on every one of them and this is the last one before he would have to drive me to the finals.
The most scary ride of them all the Ferris wheel.

“Hey Kierra… He said as I held onto the rail scared of falling.

“Ever heard of the Ferris myth.

“Common Xander that’s not funny there’s no such thing.

“There is it’s this myth that when two people love each other if and when they kiss at the top of the wheel they’ll never ever be apart… He said as I smiled.

“Do you believe.

“It’s worth a try… He said smirking.

“Well I don’t believe if it’s meant to be it’ll be.

“And if you want something you grab it and you never let it go… He said before leaning in to kiss me hard as we were at the top of the whelk for a split second before we descended.

“You did it k…He said as the ride stopped.

“Now we need to get going… He said lowly staring at his watch.

“I really don’t want to… I said hugging him.

“Yeah I know… He replied as he walked to his car.

“Whatever happens I’ll always love you… I said as he started the car driving off.

 

“Kierra where have you been I was worried sick.. Maya said the minute I walked in.

“Am here now that’s all that matters…i said lowly.

“I know how you must be feeling Kierra.

“I don’t want to leave Maya.

“I don’t want you too it’s all my fault I should have never made you sign up… She said burying her face in her palms.

“Maya it’s not your fault… I said raising her chin up.

“Now you’re gonna leave us all.

“I might not win Maya.

“Of course you’ll win have you heard yourself.

“Contestant number 3…the announcer called.

“Do whatever makes happy in the end… Maya repeated as she hugged me tightly.

 

“I love you Xander… I thought grabbing the mic.

I’ve got my ticket for the long way run… I said as my eyes watered up.

Two bottle whiskey for the way.

And I Sure would like some sweet company.

I’m leaving tomorrow what do you say.

When I’m. Gone..
I said staring at Xander.

When I’m gone when I’m gone when I’m gone gone gone.

You’re gonna miss me when I’m gone

You’re gonna miss me by my hair you’re gonna miss me everywhere oh..

You’re gonna miss me when I’m gone… I said as tears rolled down my cheeks the audience applauded loudly.

“That was beautiful… The announcer said as I wiped my tears.

“The moment of truth… He said as my heart began to race.

“Only one would get the opportunity to leave only one would be crowned this year’s winner only one would leave happy and the person is…..

“In third place Jennifer Lopez… He announced as everyone clapped.

“First runner up is…. Hard hart… He said as my tears began to flow.

“And finally this year’s winner…Kierra Leah… He said as everyone got up applauding.

“You won… Xander said as we stared at each other.

“Your flight leaves tomorrow… The announcer said.

“What… I screamed.

“Xander wait… I screamed running after him.

“Kierra… Kate said holding me back.

“Let him go Kierra just let him go… Kate said hugging me tightly as I cried in her arms.

 

I cried my eyes out while getting my things ready I haven’t heard a word from Xander since I was announced as the winner, mum thought it was tears if joy but I was broken inside once again I was gonna loose Xander and this time there was nothing I could do about it so I cried until there was no more tears left and even then I wailed in my pillow so no one would hear.

“I love you Xander Thompson… I thought letting sleep take me.

 

“Kierra… Mum said walking in.

“It’s time.. She said hugging me tightly.

“But…

“I know dear but this is a really great opportunity I can’t hold you back… She says as I scoffed.

“I’ll miss you mum… I said hugging her.

“Can we get in on that… Max and dad said walking in.

“big bro… I said nearly crying as we hugged.

“How about us… Kate Maya and chase said walking in hugging me tightly

“I haven’t heard from him… Maya whispered as I sniffled hugging them.

 

I tried as much as I could to delay but it was obvious he wasn’t gonna show up, I needed to leave right now or else I might actually miss my flight.

“He wanted you to have this when you were about to leave…Chase said handing me a note.

“Kierra we need to leave now… The representative said as I hugged chase.

“Whatever makes you truly happy… He repeated hugging me tightly as I stared at max.

“I love you sis …He whispered as I blew him a kiss before getting into the car.

“Kierra,by the time you’re reading this you should on the way to the airport and I should be in the states or heading to the airport myself … I read out slowly as my heart shattered.

“Noo… I said reading further.

“I can’t stand watching you leave and I can’t stand staying in California everything reminds me of you,your smile your laugh I can’t take it so I decided to leave for the states today.
I wouldn’t forgive myself if I didn’t say goodbye which is why I had to write this I’ll always love you Kierra Leah always and forever you were right if it’s meant to be it’ll be so maybe this is fate’s way of telling us we shouldn’t be together I’ll never stop loving you Kierra but I also can’t hold you back which is why we have to part ways it hurts so badly but I just have to let you go..

I love you Kierra … I read as my tears stained the paper.

“I love you more Xander… I said sniffling.

“Stop the car… I screamed opening up the door.

“What are you doing miss we’re gonna miss the flight.

“I’m doing whatever makes me happy… I said taking off my bag running out of the car in the direction of his house.

“Please wait for me… I thought trying to clean my tears as I ran as fast as I could.
