The world is wide open... and she couldn't allow him to factor her into his dream.
Her long chestnut locks swayed against the wind, as she stood on the front steps.
"So what are you saying?" His voice boomed with volume, standing in front of the love of his life.
The tears glistened in her eyes, clinging to the tips of her eyelashes, as they fluttered closed. Taking a deep breath she spoke, her voice so soft, "That this is goodbye."
The world crumbled around him, as he called out for her.
Even as she heard her name slipping through his lips as he called out for her. She walked with poised, and disappeared into the distance.
She needed to let him live his life. To follow a dream so much bigger than she could ever imagine.
So with a goodbye. They went their separate ways.

8 years later.

Their lives changed, and slowly everything they dreamt became a reality.
"It's the pain of knowing that another person's life is in your hand. And its up to you, to give them another day, another chance, another beginning." His voice cracked, as the tears came pouring down, "And as much as you wish for the best, sometimes... you end up with the shorter end of the stick. For every life you save, is another person taking their last breath."
"It's a torturous feelings, that cuts so deep down inside of you, to know that you couldn't do anything. To watched the faces of a family member crumble, as they lost their world." His voice was beyond audible, it was so soft, his breath heavy and shallow, "But its the thrill, the joy of giving just another breath. Another chance at hope. It's the part where they made it through another day. Another opportunity to say the things that we all hold back on. I would never trade this job for the world."

But things can fall off track, in a single moment.
The piercing pain she felt, as she laid against the hard alley floor. The tears that ran down the side of her face, the radiating pain that ached through out her entire body. Becoming numb, she just didn't want to feel. It was the dwindling feeling of lost hope. The lose to fight back, as she gave in, refusing the struggle. And just like the dirty deed, he left her alone, exposed to the world. Violated.

And with a glance at the name his world came crashing down. Struggling to control his emotions
They are reunited, and in the glimpse of hope.
Will the pain hold them back?
Without waiting for a reply, he gripped the metal handle once more, tugging it open, before he stepped beyond the doors. His open wounds laid open, on the examination table, only praying to god that he could stitched them close again.
Or will they take the plunge?
"You are living your dream, Jake. You are doing the one thing you dreamt to do. Would you be here if I was in the picture?" Miley voice quivered in pain, as the tears fell from her eyes.
Jake shook his head, the tears forming from the sparkling green eyes, that met the vibrant blue. He felt vulnerable, as he took her hand in his, bringing his other hand to raise her face to meet his gaze, "Don't you get it.. without you in my life. The dream doesn't matter. My dream changed when you came into my life. All I needed was you."
Will it be worth it in the end, to give it all up.
To follow the dream.

My Dream Changed, When I Met You
By: ttran59
Jake and Miley
A/N: Reviews would be appreciated, I have been so uninspired to write niley, so this is my second attempt at Jake and Miley. It's an Alternate Reality of Jiley. It deals with a lot of mature content, such as: Rape, Sex, and Occasionally Mild Language.
I'm truly putting my heart and soul into this story, and I have a feeling in the pit of my stomach that this may be another inspirational story. An attempt to tip the scale. Hopefully it will surpass The Light at The End of The Tunnel.
If there is a general interest in the stories, and the reviews reflect that, I will be posting the first chapter very, very soon.
