Chapter 35

I hadn't ate or slept in days since reading the contract.

Jon was due home and I had no idea how to face him without breaking down and demanding he stay by my side forever but a long distance relationship would never work. I couldn't bear to say goodbye to someone I basically worshipped and adored, so I didn't.

By working long hard shifts I had gathered a substantial amount of money for the both of us but instead it would be used to remove myself from complicating Jon's path to freedom from here. As I packed away the few clothes that I had, the tears blurred my vision. A life without Jon wouldn't be worth living but at least I could survive knowing he had made it out of here.

My hand vigorously shook as I wrote a note to leave to him:

Dear Jon,

You made it. The sacrifices you have made for me over the past year I can never repay you for. You saved me and made me feel love I have never experienced. I cannot hold you back from pursuing your dream so I have decided to leave and make it a less difficult goodbye. Please do not mistake this as abandonment, I simply do not want to be the obstacle you cannot avoid. I pray you make something of your life and I shall try to do the same even if this is the hardest decision of my life.

I will love you forever.

-Willow

It took every bit of will power I had left to pick up my belongings and walk out without waiting behind for him to come home and I try to stop me. I locked the apartment door behind me before slipping the key back through to the other side of the door so I could not go back. It wasn't planned, I had nowhere to go and only the savings I had from the supermarket job with me.

I removed the sim card from my phone so he couldn't call to change my mind. The first place I thought to go to was the airport and purchase the cheapest ticket for the next flight to wherever. The entire taxi journey there I sobbed.

Perhaps making the crazy decision to leave the man I worshipped whilst suffering severe period mood swings made it that bit worse. As I was surrounded by my inside thoughts it dawned on me I hadn't even gotten my period.

I was on my way to a whole new state alone with a new problem added to my list: unprotected sex with Jon.

THAT'S A WRAP!

This story has been a huge part of my life for almost 4 years and it has taken me this long to end it however….

Of course I couldn't leave you guys on a huge cliff hanger like this so I have decided to make a sequel to the Jon and Willow saga!

Stay tuned my lovelies xx
