Il mondo è un libro e quelli che non viaggiano ne

Valarie,
I held up my hand,"Don't,"I said sharply as I zipped up my only suitcase. I stood straight as I looked at him,"Goodbye Giovanni,"I said swallowing hard as I moved past him, heading downstairs. I would find a hotel till my plane took off tomorrow. I blinked fiercely back the tears.

Giovanni,
I stared at her back as she walked out. I couldn't do anything else. I wasn't going to win her back, she was leaving and there was nothing I could do. All I could do was watch the love of my life disappear. No matter how many things I would try to make me feel okay, nothing would be able to fill the empty space.

[lauren.]

Valarie,
I made it outside, slamming the door behind me. I stared out before me, realizing that I would be walking now. I shook my head, who cares? I stared walking away, my heart breaking more and more with every step I took. I didn't look back though, that's a sign of weakness.

[haileyjordan]

Giovanni,
I didn't move from where I stood until I sat back down on my bed. She was gone. Gone forever. My throat became dry as I buried my face in my hands. I didn't even know what to do anymore.

[lauren.]

Okay.... shall we move to when it's been a really long time? Maybe Gio can have a vacation by himself to New York or something? Cause we know that we want them to get back together of course xP haha

[haileyjordan]

Lol that sounds good to me!

Giovanni,
I was staying in New York for three weeks, my first time venturing out of the country. It was so exotic to me, but I loved it. I was relaxed, and doing better than I had in a while. After Valarie left I didn't do much for months. But I slowly began to let go until I was finally able to release myself. I was walking down the streets, feeling great.

[lauren.]

Valarie,
I've been a wreck. I haven't been going to work, which resulted in me getting fired. I'm getting evoked from my apartment and my electricity is already been turned off. Every since I left Giovanni's house my life has gone downhill. I'm a strong girl, I was a strong girl, but I've been broken. I've tried getting contact with my parents but they won't have anything to do with my of course. So in a few weeks I will be on the streets. I breathed in the fresh crisp air as I walked down the side walk.

Giovanni,
The bustle kept me on my toes as I carefully made my way through people. But New York was a busy place and you couldn't avoid everyone. I accidentally knocked into a woman walking past me as I took her arm to keep her from falling. "I'm terribly sorry ma'am," I said before I looked at her, instantly freezing. Valarie.

[lauren.]

Valarie,
"It's alrigh-"I said as I looked up at the guy, my body freezing as I recognized those eyes all too well. I couldn't say anything, nothing would come out. What the hell was he doing here? I blinked in shock as I quickly removed my arm from his hand and walked past him, my heart squeezing tightly to where I couldn't breathe.

[haileyjordan]

Giovanni,
I turned and watched her quickly walk past me. This just flooded all the memories back into my head. All the passion we had together and most of all, how much I missed her. I wasn't letting her leave that easily. I quickly followed after her, "Valarie wait, please." I said as I walked alongside of her.

[lauren.]

Valarie,
"I don't want to talk to you,"I said sternly as I kept on walking as quickly as possible. He has ruined everything, everything. I don't know what the hell he's doing here but I don't want to rip open wide the wound that I have been trying to heal.

[haileyjordan]

Giovanni,
I sighed as I looked at her. Damn, she walked fast. "I just want to know how you are. Nothing all. I know you hate me, but please just be civil with me." I practically begged.

[lauren.]

Valarie,
I felt my anger flare up,"Be civil with you?"I said as I turned on him. "That's the last thing you deserve from me,"I snapped at him. "You want to know how I am? Ever since I left Italy, my life has gone downhill. I've lost my job, I'm getting kicked out of my apartment, and of course my parents want nothing to do with me. And it's all because I'm broken, Giovanni. You've broken me! Are you happy? Now get the hell away from me,"I said harshly, my anger for him blazing in my eyes.
---
Holy crap! Tears!

[haileyjordan]

Giovanni,
I stared at her, unable to say anything. I deserved every brutal word that came out of her mouth. I was a jerk. "Do you have anywhere to go Valarie?" I asked. I knew she wasn't going to stay with me, but I wanted to make sure she was safe.

[lauren.]

Valarie,
I felt my lip tremble slightly from the tears that were threatening,"As if the moment, yes I do,"I said swallowing hard. I don't know why I was still standing in front of him. I should have just walked away once I said what I said.
