I slowly blinked my eyes open, getting the sleepiness out of them.

When I recognize I wasn't in my own room I remember I fell asleep at Soyers house yesterday.

I sat up in the soft bed and look around for him.

That's when I noticed the sound of a shower running. He must be taking one.

A sudden soreness kicked in, reminding me the events from yesterday.

I stabbed someone..

"It was for self defense" I reminded myself with a sigh.

I fall back onto the bed, staring up at the ceiling.

Things have been quite hectic recently. It all started after I met Soyer.

But I don't regret meeting him, he's nice and.. I love him.

I don't know what I would do without him.

I was pulled out of my thought at the sound of a phone going off.

I look over to see Soyers phone on the bedside table.

Masons calling.

I look up at the shower door before grabbing his phone.

I'll just tell him he's in the shower.

I clicked answer and put the phone up to my ear.

"Hey, Dad said he already purchased the plane tickets for you to come back to Italy. Are you all packed?" I heard his voice come in through the speaker.

"Wh-what?" I ask in confusion and shock. He's going back to Italy?

"Oh... Hey Delaney" I hear Mason say in a quiet voice.

"Who's going to Italy?" I say in a harsh whisper.

"I'm guess he didn't tell you?"

I stand up from the bed with the phone still up to my ear. "Obviously not" I replied bitterly.

"Calm down Dee, everything will be fine. he's coming back in 2 years".

"2 years?!" I practically yelled into the phone. "So he decided I wasn't important enough to know this information? was he gonna just leave me here after everything?".

I felt tears prick up in the corner of my eyes as my heart feels like it's gonna drop.

"I'm sure he was going to tell you.. he just didn't know how".

"Bullshit! I can't believe this.." I say as I grab at my hair in frustration.

"Please calm dow-"

I hung up the phone before he could finish his sentence and throw the phone down on the bed.

I exit the bedroom and make my way downstairs and to the front door.

but before I reach the handle I looked down at my attire.

A single button up shirt.

"crap.. where did he put my clothes" I say to myself.

I walk to the bathroom that's downstairs and look inside, but my clothes weren't in there.

where could they be...

Maybe he put them with his dirty clothes.

I rush upstairs and into his room again looking for a dirty clothes basket.

When I spot it I walk over to it.

But I don't see my clothes.

I sigh in defeat and plop down on the edge of the bed.

I hear the shower still going in the background.

Wait..

I saw a laundry room downstairs!

Getting up once again, I leave the room and make my way downstairs.

If I remember correctly the laundry room should be near the bathroom..

I find the laundry room and see a washer and dryer.

I walk over to it and crouch down to open the dryer.

I smile as I see my clothes sitting in there.

I quickly grab them and exit the laundry room but when I do I bump into something making me stumble backwards.

"Be careful" I hear a voice say playfully. I look up and meet Soyers gaze.

I furrowed my eyebrows at him, giving him a glare. "move" is all I say to him.

"wha- have you been crying? baby what happened" he asks as if he wasn't the reason for my tears.

"You not being honest is what happened" I say as i avert my gaze away from him.

"I have been honest.."

" Oh so you not telling me about you leaving is being honest!?"

His eyebrows furrowed in confusion "how would you know about that?"

I let out a short sarcastic laugh "So you really didn't want me to know.. you where just gonna leave me without saying a word?" I ask but it didn't sound like a question.

"I'm leaving" I say and try to push past him but he grabs my arm.

"I was going to tell you, I promise" he says while looking me in the eyes. "I just didn't know how".

I bite my lip as I try not to give in to his touch. I should be angry... no, furious. How could he just leave after everything we've been through. All of that time we spent together.... did it mean nothing?

"So what? did you just want me to wait around for 2 years? Or... was you planning to just forget about me? I know I'm not the best to be with but you could have just told me straight up" I say while I ball my hands into fists.

"No! that's not it Delaney.. I love you, i really do and if I had the choice to stay i would. I never want to leave you.... can we please just talk?"

I feel my eyes water up and slowly nod my head. I guess it wouldn't hurt to hear what he has to say. I quietly follow behind him into the living room. We both sit down on the couch and he faces towards me.

"Listen" he starts and looks off as he finds his words. "My father wants me to go back so Italy so I can help him with his uh.. business. I tried to tell him no but he wouldn't take that as an answer".

"But I don't want you to leave" I whisper out as a tear falls from my eye.

"I know.. but there is no other way" he says as he wipes the tear from my face.

A few more tears fell form my eyes. But then an idea hit me.

"You could take me with you.." I say quietly and he pauses.

"what?"

"I turn 18 soon so you could take me with you... to Italy" I repeated.

"but, your family is here.. and your friends. you can't just leave them for me" He says with furrowed eyebrows.

"It's not like I'm leaving forever" I say looking up into his eyes

"n-"

I reach out and place each of my hands on the sides of his face and place a soft kiss on his lips "please Soyer... take me with you" i whispered desperately as I pull away.

He looks down at me before his lip tilted up into a smirk "okay".

A/N: Sorry if the chapter format looks weird. I wrote most of this on a computer rather than my phone :'D

Anywayssss this is the last chapter of this book. I'm not sure about this ending but there may or may not be a second book that features Delaney and Soyer as side characters, but it would be written by my girlfriend and not me. As I've mentioned before I'm working on a new book and it will have my full attention so it will be my new main book basically.

Thank you guys so much for getting through this book i love you guys all so so much and i had so much fun writing this and reading your comments and opinions on the characters. I know you guys will probably hate me for this ending buuuutttt i didn't know how to end it sooo. Anyways, thank you guys so much for reading<3
