I stayed with her that day too , I think I have managed to convince her . but I wanted to show her how beautiful life really is . so I borrowed some money from my parents and took Ellie to a trip to Paris .
I talked to her manager and convinced him to give her a vacation for four days . I rented a very beautiful room in a five stars hotel . Ellie was so happy when we arrived there . she wanted to see every street in Paris .
We were walking by Eiffel tower and she said " Mason , I really cannot thank you enough this is just fabulous , you really changed my life " .
" you know , when I was a kid I always wanted to be a footballer . I was very good and my future was almost guaranteed but I had a career ending injury in the most important match in my career . my dream was shattered . I am a religious person so I wondered why did god do this to me . until now I exactly know why . the reason was that I could meet you . if I became a professional footballer I probably would have never met you . so I now know that god closes one door for you to open another one that is even bigger " .
" I had a dream too , I have always wanted to be an artist , I think I am gifted I can draw paintings that express my feelings . but when my parents died I just lost my passion " .
" I think your dream is not shattered just yet " I replied .
" no , it is , besides I forgot to say , I want to be an artist in Paris right here with you " she smiled .
" aww thanks , but no kidding I know people that may help your dream come true but I have a question , why did not you say anything about this before ? " .
" I thought it was not important " .
" your dreams are important to me and by the way you have to show me one of your drawings when we come back " .
" okay it is a deal " she replied .
Three days passed and we came back home , I began to contact a few people I know and sent them Ellie's drawing which was very good . I really wanted to help her achieve her dreams , even if it was at the expense of losing her , I decided I will not be selfish about it whatever her decision is .
The people I contacted have responded back and it was good news .
I went to her house straight away to tell her about the news .
" hey , Ellie , open up " I knocked on her door hard .
" what is going on ? " she said .
" I have the best news ever " I replied .
" what is it ? " .
" remember Jason the guy I contacted to help us with your drawings ? " .
" yeah , I remember " .
" he replied today by saying that he managed to secure a job for you with very good profit " .
" are you being serious right now ? " .
" that is not all , this job is in Paris , all you have to do is sign the contract " .
" wait that is not good news , I don't want to leave you " she replied .
" Ellie , I would never stand between you and your dreams , come on accept it you deserve it " .
" I don't know man , I want to think about it " .
" don't think here Is the contract , sign it , I know you want it , I am your best friend and I am telling you , you have to accept it " .
" but , I want you to come with me " she replied .
" unfortunately , I cannot but maybe one day I will come and visit " .
" you know you cannot and this is a good bye " she cried .
" it is okay , look Ellie , I want to tell you something , since I saw you I had a crush on you , I didn't want to tell you because I know you consider me as a friend but in Paris I don't know what happened but I fell in love with you . so I love you Ellie and because I love you , I want you to sign this contract for me " .
" now you are making it harder for me , because I love you too , since I saw you and I fell in love with you . I knew you were different from day one " .
" if you really love me then sign it " I cried .
She signed it with tears in her eyes .
It was hard to say goodbye to her . but as I said I will not be selfish .
It was a matter of days before she packed and left . that was the last of me and Ellie at least that is what we thought .
