Things have been going great since the ball which was two weeks ago, everyone has put it upon themselves to spend as much time as possible with Wilmer and me before we finally leave for Brazil.

I have to try to create a time where Wilmer spends some time with my family and also with Chance's family even with my friends just so everyone would have time with Wilmer.

Wilmer seems to love the attention he's getting from everyone and it hurts me to take this away from him but I guess this is for the best.

Today is the day I would be leaving, we are currently at the airport after going through a security checkup, and every other thing I am currently waiting for my boarding ticket to be announced.

I sigh deeply as I seat beside Chance away from everyone, we have been seated here for five minutes in complete silence both lost for words to say.

I sigh loudly once again before turning my gaze towards him deciding on breaking the silence overwhelming us" I never imagined I would be leaving in this manner" I say with a slight smile on my lips as his eyes lock with mine" I thought when I would be leaving the only people who would be here to watch me leave would be Summer, Shane, William and Chole but everyone is here today even Mr.Colt is here" I say with a bright smile on my lips.

I was really surprised to see Mr.colt here with mum Elaina, he has gotten so fond of Wilmer, he even pampers Wilmer with toys and attention in which I am grateful for.

"Yeah he's trying to make up for his mistakes and he loves Wilmer," he says with a smile not reaching his eyes.

I know this is difficult for him, he has been trying as much as possible to spend time with us and now he is going to watch us leave.

I feel bad for doing this but I just have to be selfish for once, this is the best way because we both need time to heal before we can ever have a healthy relationship.

We started a relationship based on the wrong reason so we both need to go our separate ways to be able to grow in our different way.

I stare at his eyes focused intensely on me deciding on saying what I have been dreading to speak to him about.

I lick my dry lips feeling anxious because I know what I am about to say would only hurt him" Chance I have a request" I say softly gaining his full attention on me" I have talked to my parents about this and they agreed. I am not asking this of you because I haven't forgiven you, because believe me I have, it just I think it for the best" I felt his hand on mine cutting me short.

"Shiloh what is your request," he asks softly with curiosity.

"Please I don't want you to come to visit me in Brazil, I want you to stay away," I say watching the sad and confused look appear on the face.

"What? Why? I know I won't be able to see you anymore but I was hoping to come to see you least once in a while to see how you and Wilmer are coping over there" he says frantically.

"I know but we both need time to heal, I need time to create something new for myself, I need time to build myself up once again," I fret with the sleeve of my jacket avoiding his intense gaze on me.

"How much time do you need?" He asks sounding calm but his eyes say a different story.

" I don't know how long I will be staying away but I promise to keep you updated with Wilmer," I say calming down a few of his worries.

He sighs loudly taking a deep breath before intertwining our hands together locking his eyes with mine"I know being with me is not easy but I want you to understand no one has me or has ever had me except you and I understand your reason but please don't push me out totally" he pleads.

I avert my gaze from him" I won't shut you out" I say not trusting my own words.

I have forgiven him but I just need to do this and I hope he truly understands" Thank you" he says squeezing my hand in his lightly before standing up pulling me up with him with our hand still intertwined.

"Let go its time to say goodbye," he says with a sad smile, I reply with a nod before making our way towards everyone.

We walk in to find everyone seated chatting with Mr.Colt holding Wilmer in his hands before gaining their attention.

I smile walking closer" It's almost time to leave," I say trying to hide the sadness in my heart to escape through my voice.

"Know dear, I can't believe it's finally time for you to go, " Mum Elaina says sadly, I walk towards her pulling her into a hug.

"I will miss you so much," I say with my hands holding her tightly.

"I will miss you so much," she says pulling away before wiping the tears under my eyes"Take care of yourself and Wilmer, away keep in touch" I reply with a nod while fighting back the tears.

Mum Elaina is an angel in my life, she was always there when I needed her even though I am not related to her by blood" I love you dearly take care, okay"

I smile hugging her once more before pulling back" I love you so much mum" she smiles wildly before placing a kiss on my forehead.

Next, I walk towards my mum who was standing close to Dad with tears in her eyes" my baby" she says pulling me into her motherly embrace" Take good care of yourself okay if any problem arises remember you are always welcomed back home" I reply with a nod" I love you"

I pull away " I love you," I say before focusing my eyes on dad.

He smiles sadly" I will always be protective over you but I will let you do this on your own but as your mum said if you can't handle being there come back home okay"

"I can dad, I can do this on my own," I say determined.

"I know" he whispered before placing a kiss on my hair.

Next, I stare at the little guy clinging onto his dad's hand" ain't you going to tell your aunty Shiloh goodbye" I ruffle his hair with a smile on my lips.

"Goodbye aunty Shiloh don't stay too long over there because I will miss you and Wilmer so much" he sniffs with tears in his eyes.

He has gotten so attached to Wilmer and he always seems happy anytime he gets the time to play with Wilmer" I promise to come to return and I also promise to call, then you will get the chance to talk to Wilmer" I say making him grin widely.

I ruffle his hair before placing my focus on Garrett, he wished me good luck and I also thank him before locking my eyes with Sylvia standing beside him.

I hug her tightly" Remember what I told you on the night of the party," she says softly " Always keep in touch okay," she says placing a tender kiss on my forehead.

I will miss her presence so much " Thank you" I say with a smile.

I was a bit awkward with Mr. Colt since we never actually talked or get along but he was friendly and spoke softly to me, he places a kiss on my forehead wishing me luck.

Next, I said my goodbye to Chole, I thanked her for everything and also for the support, then I said my goodbye to Louis and Damien, I will miss both of them so much because they were like family to me.

I said goodbye to Summer who hugged me tightly while crying on my shoulder, I wish her luck and success for when she started her first semester in college.

Next, I said goodbye to William, who would have imagined the stranger I met in the park would be one of my very good friends and he is right here wishing me luck.

I grin wildly wishing him all the best, next I embraced Shane tightly, he advises me like he always did, I thanked him, letting him know I will miss him a lot.

After that, I hug my best friend tightly as tears run down her cheeks" I will miss you so much, don't forget about me" she sniffs letting tears run down her cheek.

"I will never forget you and you can always come to visit me and Wilmer," I said patting her back.

"Really?" She asks wiping the tears on her cheek with a wide pleasant grin on her lips.

"I am sorry I won't be here for your birthday," I say apologetically which she shrugs saying it was okay " I love you"

"I love you too," she says hugging me tightly" my mum sends our greetings since she could not make it," she says pulling back while I reply with a nod and promising to call if I get there.

I will miss Emma so much and I know she is feeling down since I am leaving and Damien would be leaving in a few months to Italy but I know she will keep in touch and sometimes visit.

I hug her one last time before walking towards Chance who Wilmer is clinging onto while he holds Wilmer's baby carrier in his left hand.

He helps me in placing Wilmer on the carrier before helping me place it over my chest and then fasten the buckle around my waist.

I place a kiss on Wilmer's hair resting on my chest before focusing my attention on Chance with a sad smile on my lips.

He placed a tender kiss on Wilmer's hair" Take care of mum and be a good boy " He whispers to Wilmer placing a long kiss on his temple.

He stares into my eyes with a glimmer of tears in his eyes before locking his lips on mine in a short and tender kiss, he pulls back resting his forehead on mine with both hands resting on my shoulder"I love you don't forget that" he says softly.

I close my eyes at his words placing my both hands on his cheek.

I still love him but I can't let him know that now because I know it will only break his heart, I can't let him know I love him then leave him behind to hold on to my words hoping on the day I would ever come back.

It's just hard to admit something is over, it's hard to admit that our relationship failed because my left is the end. The end of what started as a perfect relationship for us even though it was based on a lie, still feels real and worth holding on to.

My boarding ticket being announced snapped us to the present, he placed a kiss on my forehead before kissing my lips one last time then pulling back with his hands tucked into his front pocket.

I sigh waving everyone goodbye before following the people moving towards the boarding plane with my mind running through an overdrive.

"Wilmer, it's me and you against the world," I say caressing his cheek" daddy loves you so much"

I don't know what the future holds for us but I am sure everything would turn out good.

Chance stands still as they walk away from him with tears running down his cheek, he doesn't care if people are weirdly looking at him because all he cares about is they both left and he couldn't stop them.

He promises to fight for her and his child, he promised her that he would never let her walk away but here he is watching her walk away without doing anything.

But it for the best, he has to let her go hoping she would return to him one day.

He has nothing now but to hope that they are both okay and would return someday, he promises to be a better man and a better father for when they finally return.

He promises to correct all his mistakes and work hard for a better future for them.

He promises to do this for her because after all, he was the one who pushed her away.

–————––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

Shiloh wishes from her heart that everything turns out good as she takes her seat on the plane, she knows things would be complicated and hard getting used to but she believes this is the best thing she can do for her and her child.

This was supposed to be a love story filled with promises of love and a happy ending but things had to work this way because she had to build herself up through the lies and pain.

She could not just forget everything and continue living like nothing ever happened, she can't continue loving him the same way she always did, she can't keep letting him see her as the soft and love craving girl she once was.

She didn't want to leave him or her family but she has to, she has to move on from the lies and broken promises.

She has to do what is best for her, she has to push him away not because she wants things to end but because she wants what is best for her, she just couldn't handle it anymore.

She can't keep leaving in his life because she needs time to herself, it has gotten to the time where she has to put herself first for once and decided it was time for her to stop making excuses.

She wants to forget every wrong thing and just stay happy like always with her family but things weren't the same anymore and no matter how long she waited for things to get better, no matter how hard she tried to make things work it just wasn't happening.

She just didn't want to be unhappy anymore, she would run back to her family and into his waiting hands because the truth is she is scared of the changes going on in her life but for now, she has to do what is best for her her her and her baby.

She just needs to go hoping to return as a better version of herself.

Maybe it's not about the happy ending, maybe it's about the story and maybe a happy ending doesn't include a guy, maybe it's you, on your own, picking up the pieces and starting over, freeing yourself up for something better in the future.

Maybe the happy ending is just moving on.
