I continued to stare at him. The tears started to come but I brushed them off angrily.

"Tell me why Niko",I said bawling my hands into fist.

"I have to go Kaitlyn",he said and gently pushed me away from the door. I let him. He opened the door and picked up his bags.

"If you leave don't ever come back and forget that you ever met me",I said letting the tears fall.

He looked back at me his expression pained.

"I have to",he said again and stepped out shutting the door behind him. The minute the door shut I fell to the floor and cried. I cried and cried. My whole body shook with rage.

"He left me",I gasped out.

I put my head in my hands trying to stop the tears but they kept coming.

He left me.

He left me.

He left me.

I kept repeating those three words in my head. It was happening again I thought. I sobbed harder. I hadn't felt like this since him.

Since James.

He had left me too. He had left me just like Niko had. He never gave me an explanation he just left. I laughed at the irony. It came out sounding more like a cackle. I quickly stood up and ran to my room. I tried hard not to look at the bed. Memories from last night flashed in my mind but I pushed them away.

I grabbed my phone and dialed Niko's number. He answered after a couple of rings.

"Hello?",he asked.

"Please don't go"I whispered. My eyes filled with tears again. He sighed and stayed quiet.

"I love you Niko please don't leave me please I need you",I said my voice breaking.

"I'm sorry but I have to go",he said.

I pulled the phone the away and covered my mouth. He was going to leave. I put the phone back to my ear.

"....are you ok?",he asked frantically.

"Come back"I whispered.

"I'm sorry I have to go...they just called my plane... I'm sorry Kaitlyn I really am",he said and then the line went dead. I pulled the phone away and stared at it. I pulled my arm back and threw it at the wall. The back of the phone came out and the battery fell out. I didn't know if the screen crack but I didn't care. I had made a small whole in the wall though.

I balled my hands into fists my nails digging into my palms. The bastard. I had fallen into his game. He slept with me and then he just left. I was just like them. I was just like all those girls. I was never different. I was so stupid to believe that I was different.

Raphael.

I had cheated on my boyfriend. I was a terrible person. I buried my head in my pillow and let the grief take over.

I didn't know how much time had passed but I heard the front door open. I scrambled off my bed and ran into the hallway.

He had come back.

He had come back.

He had.....back......

"Hey Kaitlyn",Angie said placing her bags down. She looked at my face which I knew was tear stained. Her hand came up to her mouth and she quickly walked over.

"What happened? Are you ok? Where's Niko? Niko! Niko"she said. When I heard his name I slid down the wall. I started crying again.

Why am I still crying? Why?

"Where's Niko Katy?",she said in a soothing voice.

"He's gone",I gasped out. Saying the words made me cry harder. If that was even possible at this point.

"What do you mean gone?",Angie said this time her voice was hysteric.

"H-he went back to C-california",I whimpered.

"Why?",she said this time her voice less agitated.

"He..he slept with me and then he left",I said looking up at her.

She seemed confused for a moment and then her eyes widened. Anger and hurt flashed in her eyes. I didn't even see her hand come up. I just felt the pain on my cheek.

"Why?",she asked angrily. Tears were brimming from her eyes too.

"I'm so sorry",I said cupping my slapped cheek. She stood up and walked away slamming her bedroom door shut.

I stood up and glanced at the front door. I had to go. I had to leave. But where?

Isaiah. He had to help me he helped me last time with James. He could help me again. I walked into my room and put some clothes in my backpack along with my wallet. I looked at my broken phone on the floor and sighed. I grabbed a few other things and then zipped up my backpack. When I walked into the hallway Angie's door was still closed. I looked down at my shoes and a lone tear escaped.

I took a deep breath and walked to the living room. I looked around one last time my eyes stopping on the couch. Niko had been writing something. I walked over and looked around. I was about to turn around when a single sheet of white paper caught my eye. It was folded in half and placed in between the couch cushion.

I picked it up, noticing it was actually more than one sheet and stuffed it in my back pocket. I looked around the room one last time and walked over to the door and slowly opened it. I shut the door quietly behind me and walked to the elevator. Once I was out of the building I walked to the nearest bus station and waited for the bus. As I sat there rain drops began to fall. I pulled out the now crumpled paper and tried to straighten it out.

The front fold had my name written on it. I looked at his handwriting trying to remember it forever.

This is the last thing I would ever get from him. I took a deep breath and slowly opened the paper.

Kaitlyn

You have no idea how many times I have tried to write this note to you. I just didn't know how to say goodbye. Especially not after yesterday. But I have to because I'm running out of time. And as I sit here watching you sleep the words came to me.

Kaitlyn when I first met you I though you were a hot little rebel girl. And you were but you were so much more. You were sweet and funny and so kind. And again I'm so sorry. I'm not going to lie and say that the minute I saw you I wanted to sleep with you. Yes it was a game to me at first. But then I got to know you and that day at the slide it was amazing. And I would have kissed you if I hadn't seen Angie walking towards us.

And everyday after that I dreamt of kissing you.

I flipped over to the other paper.

And then that day we went to the pool and saw Isaiah there. I was so pisses off at the evident connection between you two. I just had to get away. And all those girls I was with it was just so I could forget you I'm so sorry. And then I came home drunk one night and you kissed me. And I know you think I didn't know but I did I just thought I dreamt it.

I let it go though. I didn't want to ruin your life with all the shit that was going on with my life. And then you met Raphael and even though I should have left you alone I couldn't I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I ruined your life and I'm sorry I had to leave but I had to.

I'm sorry Kaitlyn I really am.

P.S. My name is Nikolai but for you I will always be Niko.

"Ma'm",a voice said. I looked up and saw the bus. A man was standing in the doorway looking at me.

"Are you getting on?",he asked scratching his head. I quickly nodded and stood up wiping my face. I looked down at the note and crumpled it up and threw it away. I wanted forget him. I needed to forget him.

I got on the bus and it took me to Isaiah's house. I knocked on his door praying that his parents were out.

A few minutes later he opened the door. He was standing there shirtless and wearing a pair of blue boxers. He looked surprise to see me and then concerned.

"What's wrong?",he said. I threw my arms around his waist and let the floodgates open. Isaiah's arm instinctively wrapped around my body.

"Its happening again",I whispered.
