Nick rolled his suitcases down the walk way from his front door to the drive way where a car was parked, waiting for him. He turned around to face Miley and quietly said, "I guess we say goodbye now?"

Miley nodded, her eyes glistening from the tears forming that were about to fall at any minute. "I'm going to miss you while you're gone." She shyly looked down on the ground so Nick couldn't see her crying.

"I'll miss you too," Nick said as he tilted her chin up with his finger, "but we'll be together again before you know it." He used his thumb to wipe her tears away. "I love you," he whispered, bringing his lips to hers, kissing her softly.

"I love you, too," Miley choked out as they pulled away from each other. "Don't forget me while you're away."

"I could never do that," Nick replied. "Here, I want you to have this," he said, pulling out a box from his pocket. "Don't open it until after I leave," he commanded, giving it to Miley. She held it in her hands and nodded. Nick pulled his girlfriend in for a deeper kiss before getting in the car.

Miley raised her hand and wiggled her fingers, waving goodbye to her boyfriend in the car, driving off to New York University.

Miley closed the front door to her house and took out the black box from her pocket. She opened the box and inside was a diamond necklace. As she held it in her hands, examining the beautiful stones, she smiled and thought about Nick. She wouldn't see Nick for four years.

She felt like she could handle a long distance relationship. They could talk on the phone, video chat, and text eachother. How hard could it be? As long as they kept in touch, it'd be pretty easy.

Although, she had no idea how it would really be like. It wasn't as easy as she thought. She stayed up late during some nights, waiting for a text, phone call, letter, e-mail, or anything from Nick that never came. She began to give up on him, just like how he gave up on their relationship.
