His music career took off faster than anyone could ever have imagined.
She was happy for him, of course: happy that his dream was taking flight even if it meant certain sacrifices on her part. Happy to see him go to the school he's always wanted to go to, instead of stuck here, with her, at Anubis.
Happy for him even if it meant they would never see each other again.
He had been accepted into a private school in London, a school for musical geniuses, a school that wouldn't accept her if her life depended on it. Just thinking about all the pretty girls who could sing and play guitar that he would undoubtedly meet at that fancy-schmancy school of his made Nina's blood boil.
She, of course, was the first person he went to when he got the scholarship. "Do you think I should go?" He had asked, fiddling with the letter.
She had forced a smile and bit her cheek and lied between her teeth. "Of course you should go!" She had said, and then went on about how it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience and he shouldn't throw that all away.
If he noticed, he didn't say anything.
She wondered, blankly, whether he would have stayed if she had asked him to. Whether, if she had begged and pleaded and cried like she so felt like doing right now, he would have stayed.
With her.
Here.
But she didn't and he hadn't and honestly she wouldn't have it any other way. Sure, it hurt now, but over time they'd both move on and then they would be okay.
They would be okay.
But for now, she was aloud to cry. For now she was aloud to let the tears slip down her cheeks and cry, she was aloud to let loose the screams of pain and sorrow that threatened to escape from her lips.
For now, left behind to watch his taxi disappear from view, she was aloud to daydream about all that might've been. All the places they'll never see together.
And maybe, tomorrow, she'd dream up another day.
A/N: Okay. How was that? I think I might just stick with one-shots now… my multi-chapter isn't coming along so well, I have massive writer's block and, anyway, it's not going to have a happy ending. (In case you can't tell by the way all my other fics turn out.)
So, in short… REVIEW!
