It's the night of the party for the two new guys. After my date today, I wanted to talk to Will about it. It's bothering me a bit, but I believe he won't do those things to me. In the last few weeks that we've been together, I saw the real Will and his genuine feelings for me.
As I walked to the kitchen, I found him talking to the other islanders along with Valentina. We talked about what was happening. I was shocked by Dylan's lies about our date and also about coupling up with him. I pleaded to Will with teary eyes that those things were not true.
I feel hurt and astounded as I heard these words "You know what, I think we should spend the night apart to clear our heads. I'll see you in the morning". He walked out without looking back at me.
I just stood there and no words came out of me. It's just too much and tears start flowing like a waterfall. Everything is a blur, I just know that Thabi arrived and hugged me while she was saying something along with the other girls but I'm just overwhelmed with anxiety and fear that I don't even know what's going on anymore. I ran off going to the daybeds, glad no one followed me. I just wanted to be alone.
After a stressful night, I woke up with puffy eyes crying from last night's incident. I'm livid as to how Dylan could spew those lies about liking him and coupling up with him which in a million years will never happen.
I'm hurt as to why would Will let those lies get into his head and ask me to spend the night apart, I thought that we have something special and I never believe anything Dylan told me about Will and Valentina during our date. I'm just afraid that what we had will just be a lingering memory sooner.
I talked to Thabi about what happened and told her everything. She just told me everything will be alright and things can still be mended. I saw Will approach me for a chat and we headed to the lover's nook where we can have our privacy for this important talk.
I poured all of my feelings into our conversation and respected Will's feelings. I love him to the point that I don't want to lose him but Will feels he's being cornered with all this talk and thinks that we're not meant to be.
"Maybe, we're not just meant to be". these words felt like a stab in my heart. I'm absolutely gutted, just felt weak in the knees and just sat there. I looked up at him but he avoided my gaze.
He stands up and walks away with tears in his eyes. I just can't believe that this is happening to me. I just want to have a wonderful summer and the love of my life. Now I found it, I'm losing it in a blink of an eye.
I cried my heart out. After that, I find myself going to the kitchen and when I saw Dylan, all my feelings exploded. I confronted him and said all the things I want to tell him. I told him how a jerk and manipulative snake he is. The argument continues but after the final blow, he lost the plot and walks away as fast as he could.
Hours passed in a blur and I just isolated myself from all of them. I don't feel like talking to anyone after what happened. If Will doesn't want me anymore what's the point of staying on this show? I only came here to find love and now that everything's a mess, I don't feel the need to be here anymore.
I talked to the producers telling them that I'm walking out of the show and there's nothing that can't stop me. I hurriedly walked to the bedroom and packed all my stuff in my suitcase, also got all of my beauty kits from the dressing room. I went to the roof terrace to sat down and sobbed, letting myself feel all the pain and loneliness. I heard someone shout that there's a recoupling tonight and it's a girl's choice.
Evening arrives, We're all sitting in the firepit. I heard a ding from my phone and read the text.
"As the most popular girl in the show, you will be picking first". My mind was all over the place. I could have walked away this afternoon but I'm still wishing for Will to talk to me but he didn't. I looked at him and saw him talking to Tiffany without sparing me a glance. The others are staring at me with a worried look.
I stood there for a minute, and another few minutes pass. Someone called out to me from the crew to make a choice as my mind drifts off somewhere. My tears betrayed me as they trickled down my cheeks and my lips started to tremble. I saw Will looking at me worriedly. He is giving me the look that he wants to run in my direction and embrace me but he is also at war with his inner self and conflicted.
After calming myself, I began and look directly into Will's eyes full of sadness.
"I don't even know what to say right now, my emotion is getting the best of me. I already found the one that I want to be with and I think I'm even falling in love with him but you know all love stories have their downside. He doesn't want to be with me anymore. After that talk we had, I don't know what's my purpose of being here anymore. So, I decided I'm walking out of this show, I cannot continue this journey anymore if it is not with Will. He took my heart away and now I'm leaving without it. Goodbye everyone".
The islanders are currently in a state of shock. Sadness can be seen on their faces even Will's. They hugged me and they were all telling me not to go. I just shook my head and gave them a sad smile. I can see Will still in a trance looking at the firepit.
I took that as a sign to go and got my bags ready and waiting for me at the door. I walked out and gave the villa and the islanders one wistful look. I went to the car to take me to the hotel to stay the night. I need a good sleep after all of this and also to clear my head. It's good preparation for myself before my flight back tomorrow to the UK in the evening.
I closed my eyes and lie down uncomfortably as my mind drifts to Will. How unlucky is it for someone to be in love with a person who doesn't want to discuss things about your relationship and fix it. But fuck it all, I still love him. The heart wants what it wants. I frowned at the thought. "Will don't you really care about me anymore?" I mumbled as my tears roll down and fell asleep.
I woke up from the sound of the birds chirping outside the window. It's 6 AM, and still absolutely knackered from everything. I rubbed my eyes, still stinging from all the crying since yesterday. I groaned and started my morning routine. It's still early morning, a good coffee sounds great but I decided to go out to visit a nearby park nearby that I saw yesterday from the drive.
After crossing the street and reaching the other end, I tried to look back to the hotel just to remember the way back. I kind of saw a figure that looks like Will but decided to ignore it since it's impossible and he's in the villa enjoying the summer of his life without me. I sighed and continued walking until I reached the park.
I sat into one of the beautiful stone-carved seats. I closed my eyes and feel the morning breeze brush against my face. A few minutes passed by, and I felt a presence standing in front of me, surprised as to who it was.
It's the most gorgeous face of the person I love. I'm surprised and at the same time can't believe he is here in front of me. I stand in front of him to be met with his warm and loving gaze. He cupped my cheeks and stroked them lovingly.
"Will" I said in a whisper.
He hugged me tightly and kissed my forehead gently. I'm overwhelmed with all the mix of emotions coming through me astonishment, joy, love, and a lot more.
"I'm truly sorry babe, I'm a fool. Sorry!" He whimpers while hugging me. "I'm a coward for letting my issues and ideals of a perfect relationship control me. After you left, I realized that I don't want to lose you. I feel lost and empty. You took my heart away from the villa. I love you so much that I can't lose you. Fuck, I don't care about winning anymore. I just left everything there so I can chase the sunshine to my grey skies. My only muse." he gazed at me lovingly as he leans on me to kiss me gently until he deepens the kiss full of emotion and longingness. I pulled away as that kiss leaves me breathless. I stroked his cheek and look into his eyes.
We embraced each other again and let our emotions do the talking. I'm ecstatic that I found myself in his arms despite everything that happened. It's not a bad summer at all, we're together again. No more games, No more show, No more Dylan. Just two people in love with each other along with the stars of their fate aligning together.

Antoine/MC - that dream and the 'under the towel' scene. Lol.
His eyes flashed with desire and he leaned in, his voice uncharacteristically heavy.
“This isn’t an if, Millie. It’s a when. And when I get my hands on you, I’m locking the doors, and we’re not leaving bed for a week.”
