Authors Note

I have entitled each chapter of this fiction according to songs that would set the tone of what the theme of the chapter is gonna be like. The lyrics of the song for each part would also encompass the feelings of the characters more or less in that point of the story. I will beposting those along with a link of the song whenever i post each new chapter.

Just thought that i'd give fair warning to all that this story is going to be really, really angsty but it will definitely have a Happy FinChel Ending..

If you want to be a part of my PM list so that i can message you whenever a new chapter is up, kindly add me as a friend and i would do just that.

Comments are LOVE! So i hope you'd find the time to leave a note!

Thanks and Happy Reading...

Prologue

Rachel: There you go again with your casual wave and your cheerful smile... Like everyday's a blast and that nothing is missing from your life... You open your car door as you gave me one last honk... I stood there in the almost empty parking lot with a smile in return as you back your car out of your slot like i'm having the time of my life... Like i am not pretending... like i've done for the past eight years of my life...

Do you ever think about me when you're alone? Of what could be? of dreams not realized? Do you ever wonder if we should have tried a little harder? a little better? A little longer?

I wonder if we'd be happier? Be bolder? Be stronger?

But that's all you left me... A future of what if's...

And as i watch your car get smaller and smaller as you drive away... my smile gets wider and wider...my face almost splitting... and only then did i feel the wetness of my cheeks as the tears that i've not cried, fell from my eyes...

Finn: There you go again... you're beautiful as always... Like you've truly found peace when i left and that nothing is missing from your life... You gave me a wide smile and a wave as i get inside my car and i took the time to watch you for awhile like i've done for countless number of times just like the past years of our lives...

Do you even know how that image of you is enough to last me for days? and that in my head sometimes i still pretend that you lie beside me in my bed? Though it hurts, it's better this way... you found your place and i found mine...

I wonder if you're happy? At peace? Enlightened?

But that's all i can do... ask about you and never get answers...

And as i back my car off my driveway... i watch you as you grow smaller and smaller... I let out a smile that quickly grew into laughter and only then did i realize... being without each other... we can finally stop with the lies...
