Roommates
Chapter 51
I stared straight ahead of me, knowing there were crowds of people ahead of me.
But, I couldn't see anyone, or anything, but Brett.
His oceanic blue eyes were glued to mine.
I bit my lip, and began running.
I ran straight towards him, and leaped in his arms, clutching on his built chest tightly.
Tears flowed from my eyes uncontrollably, as my tears left wet stains on Brett's t-shirt.
"Carson." he whispered, pulling my head away from him.
"Brett, I-I just wanted to say bye." I said, breathlessly.
Brett bit his lower lip, which just made me miss his soft lips even more.
"Carson, I-"
Before he got to finish, a voice boomed the entire room through an intercom.
"The 12:10 flight to JFK will be boarding momentarily. Passengers for group one please start gathering in line. Thank you."
I shut my eyes tightly, recieving an aching feeling in my heart.
"Carson, I wanted to tell you something a long time ago. I just didn't know how to say it to you." Brett continued.
I nodded. "Tell me, Brett."
He seemed startled, almost nervous. "Carson, I-I'm not returning to Brown next semester."
A tear rolled down my cheek, as I took the back of my hand, and wiped it away bravely.
"W-what? Why not?" I asked.
Brett took in a deep breath, and letting it out heavily. "I got accepted into Columbia in New York."
"S-so I won't be able to see you anymore?" I choked out.
He shook his head, with a painful expression spreading across his face.
"Promise me, Carson, that you'll always love me somewhere in your heart. But, you have to let go of me. You deserve someone better." Brett said, holding my hands.
"B-but I love you." I cried.
"I love you, too." Brett said.
I opened my mouth to say something, but I was interrupted by a chirpy voice.
"Oh, hey, Carson! When did you get here?" Angela asked, as Brett immediately dropped my hands.
I watched painfully as Angela wrapped her arms around Brett's biceps, and batting her eyelashes at him.
"Just a minute ago, to say bye." I lied.
"The 12:10 to JFK is now ready for boarding. Passengers in group one can now prepare for boarding." the intercom said.
"Oh! We're group one! We should be going now, Brett." Angela smiled.
"Yeah, we should." Brett said in a low voice.
"Bye, Carson! It was great meeting you!" Angela squealed, wrapping her arms around me for a tight embrace.
"Yeah, same here." I whispered.
Brett studied my emotionless, tear stained face.
"Hey, Angie, you go without me. I'm going to board in five minutes, okay?" Brett said.
Angela looked skeptical, and glanced over at me. "Fine." she pouted.
She disappeared through the terminal.
I swallowed the lump in my throat, and forced myself to look at Brett.
After all, this may be the last time I ever got to look in his beautiful, blue eyes.
"I'm going to miss you, Carson. And whenever you want to think of me, just look at the necklace, okay?" Brett assured.
I nodded, forcing back heavy tears. "I'm going to miss you, too, Brett."
Brett sighed. "I should go now. Bye, Carson."
I bit my lips, and unwillingly nodded. "Bye, Brett."
Brett looked at me one last time before turning away.
He walked to the line of people boarding the plane.
Just as he was about to give the ticket to the lady, he surprisingly turned back around.
He paused for a minute, before running back in my arms.
His body weight crashed upon mine, as he cupped my face.
He bought his force, and pulled myself towards him.
My lips crashed upon his, as the world seemed unconscious to me.
My legs started going weak, as the kiss deepened.
We finally pulled away, gasping for air.
"I just wanted to remind you that I love you, no matter what." Brett explained.
I blushed, and nodded. "I love you, no matter what, too."
He pecked my cheek one last time, before returning back to hand the ticket to the lady.
I clutched onto the necklace he gave me, as I watched as he went through the terminal.
