37 Days This is where I leave you
POVMillieJulian and Steph walk into the suite and without a word or even a look X is gone.My heart feels as if it’s imploding by the lack of his presence, his touch, just him.Steph runs over to me and hugs me “Are you okay Millie?” she asks while petting my hair.“Yeah, I’m okay,” I say.Julian is standing there looking at us and when Steph pulls away from the hug, Julian has a raised eyebrow, eyeing the hoodie I’m wearing, X’s hoodie.He says nothing though, I know he can probably piece together what he just broke up.He walks over to Steph and whispers something in her ear and she nods, he kisses her cheek and leaves, closing the door behind him.“C'mon let’s get ready for bed and we’ll talk,” Steph says.I nod and follow her into the bedroom. After we’re finished changing and get ready for bed, we lie down, only leaving a small lamp on to still see each other while we talk.“So what happened? I was so worried about you that I immediately ran back to the club to get Julian.” Ste

POVMillieI arrive at Chase’s apartment building and park where he told me to before I left the house. I hope this isn’t going to be awkward staying with my ex-boyfriend but my choices are slim to none at this point. If I stay with him for a week I can probably afford a motel until I move into my apartment that is only ten minutes away from here. I step out of the car and walk up the few steps and into the lobby.This apartment building is beautiful, it has a small fountain inside and it makes me instantly think of X. I look away not wanting to let the thought of him in my head any more than he already is.I walk over to the elevator and hit the arrow facing up. When I get in I press the 4 button, it lights up and I let it take me up. The door opens and I search for apartment 411, when I find it I knock on the cream-colored door.After a few seconds of waiting, Chase opens the door and I shrug my shoulders with a small smile. “I’m sorry Chase,” I say embarrassed.“Please Millie, don’
