The cafe by Seamus’ apartment was advertising an open mic house. He was extremely excited as he absolutely loved music more than anything. He sat down on the stool and began to play. The crowd seemed to enjoy the few first songs. Nobody told him to shut up, at least. He hummed a bit at the light applause happily. “Does anybody have a song request?”
Beckett sat down at a table with his coffee, ready to look over some essays from his students while relaxing a bit. He looked up as Seamus asked for requests and after a moment of thought, he said “How about ‘Let Her Go’ by Passenger?”
8: You’ve been given a week left to live. What do you do?I would travel as much as I possibly could so I could say I saw everything I could before I died.
20: You’re laying in a hospital bed, about to take your last breath. Any final words?Right now, those final words would mostly be apologies.
40:What are some of the events in your life that made you who you are?When I was 5 and my father and I spent a week doing everything that he thought he needed to do in order to teach me “how to be a man” before he died. Shaving, changing a tire.. Things that I absolutely wouldn’t have had a concept of then but do now.
The first time I picked up a book and absolutely fell in love.

“Wow.. I didn’t know it before, but now I know that was exactly the thing I needed to hear today.” Evelyn said, smiling softly. “You’re really knowledgeable.”
“I’m glad it helped a little.” He said with a small smile.
“well, to be fair,” casey puffs up her cheeks then exhales almost comically. “i’ve only seen the movies. well, i’ve seen some of the potter stuff, and i fell asleep half an hour into the first lord of the rings, so i guess i partially saw it, but i’m guessing the main dude became the lord of the ring or something,” she shrugs.
“Fantasy isn’t quite your thing, is it?” He asked with a chuckle. “That’s okay, what kind of books do you like to read?”
Summary: Beckett makes his final decision between Annelise and Isabella and returns to his old apartment to let Isabella know.

After his last encounter with Annelise, Beckett knew he needed to make a decision and stick with it. He couldn't play both sides anymore. Which was why he was headed to the apartment he had once shared with Isabella to discuss his final thoughts with her and to get the rest of his things. Emotionally, he was not ready for this but he had to do it. He knocked on the door, unsure if that was even necessary but he didn't want to barge in.
IsabellaYesterday at 11:20 PM
After Isabella left Beckett’s apartment she knew that she had to make a decision herself. Either have hope for this marriage or try to get into his stupid head and think about what he could have with Annelise. Continuing to be successful with her job and living on her own, she still missed Beckett. Hearing a knock at the door, she went to open it in shorts and a t-shirt and saw Beckett, and honestly, she was surprised as this was without warning. “Hi,” she said with a small smile. “What’s going on?” She asked opening the door for him to come in.

"Hey." He returned her smile as he stepped in. "I thought maybe it was time for me to come and get the rest of my stuff.. Most of my books, at least."
IsabellaToday at 9:45 AM
Isabella nodded. “Yeah, okay. Do you want any help?” She asked before biting down on her lower lip and running her fingers through her hair.
BeckettToday at 9:47 AM
"No, it's okay. I think I have a couple of boxes in the office that I can just fill up." He said with a nod as he moved into the office to do as he said.
IsabellaToday at 9:53 AM
“Okay,” Isabella said as she watched him move to the office. She had only stepped in there a few times to clean and dust but other than that she stayed out. Walking into the kitchen, she poured herself a glass of wine and sipped on it trying her best not to think the worst right now.
BeckettToday at 9:56 AM
Beckett put all of the books he knew he would miss into boxes and stacked them, carrying them out to the living room and setting them down. "I feel like I should tell you that I have decided to be with Annelise.." He bit his lip before looking at her. "I'm sorry. I just don't know what is left to salvage between us."
IsabellaToday at 10:02 AM
When Isabella heard his footsteps, she turned to face him with the wine glass in her hand. Hearing his words, she stared at him for a few long moments wanting to throw the glass down but kept her composure and nodded. “If that’s what you want then okay,” she said feeling very emotional but didn’t want to break down in front of him.
BeckettToday at 10:03 AM
He nodded his head, glad that she wasn't showing too much emotion because there was a great chance he would back down. "You can always call me if you need me and I don't want to do this on bad terms. So.. Just.. Keep that in mind."
IsabellaToday at 10:06 AM
Isabella looked away and nodded again. She could feel the tears beginning to form but she held them back. After a moment, she took a sip and looked back to him. “I’m not sure if you’ll need me but you can call me too,” she said. “Also, thanks for telling me now instead of waiting.”
BeckettToday at 10:07 AM
"I want to be honest with you. You've been my best friend for a long time so this is hard, but.. It wasn't fair of me to have both of you."
IsabellaToday at 10:10 AM
Isabella swallowed the lump in her throat. “This is more than hard...it’s painful but I get it,” she said before looking back down. “I’ll miss you,” she said quietly.
BeckettToday at 10:10 AM
"I'll miss you too. Thank you, for everything." He felt like he could cry, letting go of something that had been such a big part of him for years was hard.
IsabellaToday at 10:13 AM
“Thank you too,” Isabella said still looking down as a tear quickly dropped to the ground. Looking back up to him after a moment, she didn’t know what to do or say. She wanted to hug him and kiss him but he probably didn’t want that.
BeckettToday at 10:14 AM
Beckett didn't want to drag this out to the point of causing more pain, so he picked the boxes up again. "Goodbye, Bella." He said softly.
IsabellaToday at 10:27 AM
Isabella held her breath as she watched him. “Goodbye, Beck,” she responded. When he walked out and closed the door, she let the tears fall.
