Justin's POV:

I was laying alone in my bed and staring to the ceiling. My house didn't felt like home anymore when there was none by my side. I might sound pathetic, like it would have been the world ending happening.

I wasn't just got used to that I lived alone.

Of course, there was Esther that lighted up my days but it wasn't same like a real person. It wasn't the same when you was able to kiss your beautiful girlfriend who laid next to you in the bed in the morning, spend time with her, hug her.

I missed the closeness and warmness when I was still able to wrab my arms around someone's body and make her feel good.

I felt lonely in that big house of mine.

I opened the Instagram and scrolled through it. I liked posts without even looking whose they were before I just had to stop and scroll back to look closer one post.

Julia had posted it yesterday. She was middle of group of men and smiling. No caption needed, there read. She was right, the picture tells more than thousand words.

She made me jealous already. Why did I leave her? Did I really thought that Claire would run back to me, after Robert treat her the way, nobody should treat their girlfriends? Did I really think so?

Did I still love her that much that I couldn't just move on when I had a chance to it? I closed my phone and stood up the bed.

I went back on that time when I visited at Alfredo's place. That time when I last time saw Claire. When I felt her arms around me, when I saw her tears on her eyes. How scared she was when she thought that Robert had sent me there.

I remember the question which I gave to her. She hasn't answered it yet, and probably even will. She didn't want me no more. She didn't want happiness, she wanted stay in that dark side. It had caught her forever.

But it didn't remove that fact that I still loved her. I always will love her no matter what. I couldn't move on beside she will be by my side. I just had to accept it that the fate was there.

My fate was being stuck in her and thought of that she could love me one day again

Claire's POV:

It was midnight and I hadn't sleep yet. My mind was full of thoughts once again. It wasn't new for me. I thought about Robert and his call. His offer to meet him and end this thing between us in peace.

I would have wanted to do it but I wasn't sure at all could I resist him. That thing had faced me too many times that I was pretty sure that things would go the same way as they always had gone.

But same time I knew that I was stronger now against him. We both knew the facts and nobody could change them. The had written on the stone wall with red paint which nothing could wipe away.

But then I started think about Justin and his words which he said out months ago to me when he visited at Alfredo's place

"You don't deserve that kind of life and boyfriend. You deserve only the best"

He was so right but now Robert wasn't my boyfriend anymore, at least I thought so. But he wasn't that for me either. He was right of that too that he had always been the best he can be to me, I hadn't been that to him.

However, there was always some side of me which yelled for extreme and surprises. I could nothing about those voices who fight inside me and that I chose always the option when the game ended. I was a player; I was addicted on playing and losing it all in the end.

Someone's problem was slot machines, mine was love and danger. I couldn't anything to myself and my problem. I was weak against it.

When my alarm clock rang in 5am, and I walked downstairs to get my morning coffee, I had finally found my answer to that question. I will go meet him, it would be the best choice to us both. I heard how Alfredo walked to kitchen too and smiled me weakly.

"Do you want me to drive you to work?" he asked but I shook my head to him. "No, I think that I will just walk here so my brain will wake up too" I chuckled and went change my clothes. It was my first day after my break.

I was a bit nervous even I knew that there was nothing to worry about. The day will go just fine Claire, I told myself. The day will go just fine.
