Chapter 16

Amanda Estelle I looked at myself in the mirror and I looked like a zombie. Last night, I fell asleep with Logan beside me and I was holding him tightly completely afraid to let him go but today is the day that.. I really have to send him off. I jumped into the shower and cried again. I sat there for a few minutes completely having a breakdown. I love Logan.. I love him a lot and now reality hits me so hard. I got out from the shower and put on my denim jeans and white shirt. I dried my hair real quick and put on my sneakers. I put my phone, took my paper bag, my purse into my bag and I walked out of my room. My grandfather was already waiting for me in the living room. "I have my chauffer ready, you can go to the airport with my car." He said as he walked closer to me. Tears started to fill up my eyes again and my grandfather pulled me into a hug. "There there.." He said and I bursted in tears. My heart hurts so much, it feels like I'm dying. "You have to go, pumpkin. You don't want to be late right?" My grandfather said as he released the hug. He wiped my tears and he smiled. "You'll see him again, Amanda." He said and I nodded. Me and Logan decided to meet at the airport around 11 and we will spend time at the VIP lounge together for 3 hours before he has to go. I looked at the paper bag and I sighed. My grandfather and I walked outside and he gestured to me to go inside the car. I got in and my grandfather told the chauffeur to go immediately. Now.. I'm on my way to the airport. I kept looking out the window and blankly looked at the streets. I let out a deep sigh and I closed my eyes hoping that everything is just a dream. Suddenly my phone rang and I quickly took it out from my bag. It's Logan. "Hello." "Are you on your way?" He asked and I sighed. "Yeah, why?" "I'm already here, waiting for you." My tears filled my eyes again. "Okay." I said in a husky tone completely trying to hold back my tears. "I'll text you, okay?" "Okay." I ended the call and he texted me the place. I told my grandfather's chauffer about the place and apparently he knew about the VIP lounge because my grandfather always goes there every time he's going abroad. After a good 20 minutes, I arrived at the place. I saw a lot of guards standing in front of the VIP lounge door. I got out and they led me inside immediately. I saw Logan sitting next to the window that's facing his royal jet. He turned to me and he smiled. He was holding a flower as he got up from his seat welcoming me. I walked to him and gave him a hug without saying anything. We both sat on the chair that's facing the window and I put the paper bag in front of him. He gave the flower to me and I looked at the flower blankly. "A present.. for you." I said and he smiled. He looked into the paper bag and he took the dark blue box out. He opened it and he took it out. "I love it." He said and I looked at him completely trying to hold my tears from filling my eyes. "I know you will." I said and I gave him 2 ties and a scrapbook full of our crazy photos. He opened the scrapbook and started to look every photos one by one. "It's only a year but.. it felt like I've known you for a life time." He said as he opened another page. "Yeah." I said nodding. "When will I see you again?" I asked him and he turned to me. "As soon as possible." He said as he turned his attention fully to me. "Do you like the flower?" He asked as he pointed at the beautiful bouquet full of yellow flowers. "Yeah." "Okay.. I want to begin my lecture." He said as he clapped his hand together. I raised my eyebrows looking at him. "First, text me.. a lot. Second, call me a lot too. Third, if you're meeting a cute guy.. make sure to tell me about him. Fourth, no one can call you Mandy except me and your father. Fifth, you swore to come to my coronation. Sixth, I promise you that I will tell you everything if I found the girl that I'll marry." The last one hit me hard. I was like being struck by a thunder. "Okay." "Don't you have any words for me? All you answer is okay." He said and I sighed as I looked out the window. "I don't know what to say.. I want to ask you to stay but it's impossible. I can't say that I'll be happy without you too because I know I won't." I said honestly and Logan held on my hand. I turned to him and he gave me a warm smile. "I wish.. some things could be different, Mandy, but we have to go to our path now." He said as he held my ahdm tightly. "Yeah, we have our own path. We'll be okay right?" I asked him as I looked at the jet blankly. "You and I will have our own happy ending, Mandy." "I hope so.." I let out a dry laugh. "Our journey starts now, Mandy. You will be a great businesswoman and I will learn to be a king. You'll expand your wings to all over Europe or maybe to America too and I'll try my best to rule Denmark. It's not like you and I won't see each other again." "I know." I said as I turned to him trying to smile. "That's my girl." He caressed my head and he pulled me into a hug. It was the most painful hug for me. I have to let him go.. I have to learn to let him go even though I don't want to.
