Chapter 14

Amanda Estelle Time flies so fast that it's for us to graduate high school. I don't know if I'm happy or sad right now because for sure that Logan will go back to Denmark soon. We're closer than ever and our friendship never changes except for the fact that I have feelings for him. I'm in love with Logan Nielsen, the Prince of Denmark. I know that falling in love with him was the biggest mistake that I've ever made. I know I can't control my feelings but still.. I feel like I commited a huge sin. 1 week before graduation, I had a breakdown. I know that I only have one week to enjoy his company before he has to go back to Denmark. I cried alone in my room and my father caught me. He knew that Logan would leave soon and he comforted me. For the past year, Logan has been supporting me and always stays by my side no matter what. My grandfather let me learn about his company and I've never been so excited. Logan was so happy for me and he said he's so proud of me. He said he can't wait for me to be a successful business woman and just spread my wings through all Europe. "I know that you've been crying all night." Logan said and I turned to him nodding. We're still in our graduation gowns sitting on the bench outside his mansion. "It's weird if I don't." I said as I looked up to the sky. "Promise me.." He said and I chuckled. "Promise you what? Not to miss you cook? Not to miss your weird jokes? Not to miss your presence? Not to-" "Mandy.." "Don't give me that tone, Logan." I warned him because I'm starting to get emotional again. "Swear me one thing.." "Swear you what?" I turned to him and my eyes started to water. He gave me a heart warming smile. "You'll come to my coronation." When he said that, it made me realize once again that he's leaving me soon. "Mandy.." He said when he saw me tearing up. "How can you say that like we will never see each other again after you go back to Denmark?" I said coldly as I wiped my tears quickly. "I can promise you that I will come here once a month. I promise you that, I swear." He said and I bursted into tears again. He immediately pulled me into a hug and he caressed my head. "Mandy, I'm sorry." "I want you to stay." I said, completely sobbing my heart out. "I can't, I'm sorry but I promise you I will text you everyday." "It will never be the same, Logan." I said as he released the hug. He smiled looking at me as he wiped my tears with his thumbs. "You're such a cry baby." "I hate you." I said as I smacked his arm. "You're not sad huh? You're happy to leave me huh?" I asked when I realized that he doesn't express his sadness leaving me. "Trust me, I am. I'm just a little tougher than you." He said as he pinched my cheek lightly. "You promise me that you'll visit me right? You promise me that you'll text me right? You promise me that.. that.. you will never replace me right?" I asked as I looked straight into his eyes wanting to know what's going on his head. "Yes, Mandy. I promise I'll visit you, text you and I will never replace you." He chuckled and I let out a heavy sigh. "I'll go to the airport with you tomorrow." I said and he nodded. He's reaching for something inside his pocket and he suddenly put a small black box in front of me. "For you.. as a sign of promise from me." He said and I shook my head. "I rather have you here than you leave me with something like this." "Mandy, you know I can't." He said and he put the box on my hand. I looked at it blankly and I didn't even want to open it. "Open it.." He said and I decided to open it. It was a beautiful M necklace. He took it out from the box and put it on me. "Thank you, Logan." I said as I looked at the necklace. I swear that I will guard this necklace with my life and I will never take it off. "You'll be okay without me, Mandy. It's not the end of the world and besides we still can talk to each other even though we won't be able to be with each other 24 hours like we used to." Easy for him to say that it's not the end of the world but for me it is. I don't even want to go to college anymore. "Yeah, I know." I said completely lying and Logan ruffled my hair. "Let's go.. We'll drive you home." He said as he got up from his seat. He put his hand in front of me and I took it. He pulled me up and we walked together towards his car. His chauffeur opened the door for us and I got into the car. He got into the car and the chauffeur closed the door for him. Logan told the chauffeur to go to my house. I looked out the window and I wish I could slow down the time because I don't want this to end. I hope that there will be a big thunderstorm so his flight will be delayed. I wish the plane has problems so he has to take the flight tomorrow. I wish something would happen so he can stay in London a little longer. I felt Logan holding my hand and I turned to him. He smiled at me and I just looked at him without any expression. He knew about my feelings but he couldn't stay. His father wanted to pull him out of here as soon as he could. 20 minutes of ride home feels like 5 minutes when you know that the other person have to leave. When we arrived at my house, Logan got out and he opened the door for me. He put his hand in front of me waiting for me to come out but I looked at him sadly. "This will be the last time you're taking me home." I said as I took his hand. He only smiled and I got out from the car. We walked in together and he pulled me into a hug. This time.. he hugged me tightly. We both knew that it's our last time spending time together and none of us want this to end but I guess the world just doesn't want us to be together. "Can you stay with me until I fall asleep?" I asked as I wrapped my arms around his hips. "Yeah.. I can."
