Chapter2 Bitter Sweet Goodbye

Seventeen year old Bianca DeSousa had been through a lot in her life from losing her parents at the age of six to a random shooting to being forced to live with an aunt who at times seemed like she couldn't care less about her if she wanted to which resulted in her getting into quite a bit of trouble when she was younger.

Luckily for her someone was there to save her before she was too far gone down the path of self destruction that person was her best friend turned boyfriend Mark "Fitz" Fitzgerald the two had been dating since grade ten and had grown closer even though Fitz left Degrassi junior year to live with his grandfather who was sick during that time the pair had discovered that they were attracted to each other in more than just a platonic way and began dating.

At first it took them a while to get used to the idea of dating but eventually the relationship grew stronger and being a couple came naturally to them.

Fitz would spoil Bianca to no end bringing her flowers and other gifts every chance he got.

Bianca on the other hand was a bit more tame when it came to showing affection she would tease him about being whipped and having him wrapped around her finger a fact Fitz didn't mind admitting to sometimes.

When it came to revealing their relationship to Owen who was the couples closest friend they expected him to be anger because even though he wouldn't admit it the pair knew Owen had a crush Bianca but when they finally did tell him they were shocked to find out he was complete fine with them becoming a couple and had come to realization that they were the ones that were meant to be together.

Knowing this made the bond between the trio stronger than ever this allowed Bianca to fall harder for Fitz than she ever thought possible in fact with senior year only a month off she was already making plans for how Fitz and her were going to spend the summer before the start of her senior year.

Little did Bianca know he plans where about to be dealt a major blow the Friday before school started Fitz had called her and said he needed to meet up with her at the DOT to tell her something important and it couldn't wait so Bianca left her house and took the long agonizing walk to Dot to see what it was that Fitz wanted.

Twenty agonizing minutes later Bianca walked into The Dot to see Fitz had already ordered for them as she sat down.

"Hey Fitz so what was so important you couldn't tell me on the phone?"

"B what I'm about to tell you is going to make you want to kill me but I'm doing this because its the right thing to do for both of us."

Bianca sat stoned face fiddling around with her chicken salad that Fitz had gotten her.

"Fitz baby whatever you have to tell me cant be bad enough to make me get to the point I would want to kill you."

"Bianca knowing you the way I do this will make you want to kill me and I'm sorry from the bottom of my heart because you deserve way more than what I'm about to do to you."

"Fitz you're scaring me whatever it is just tell me we can get through this together I promise."

"Alright but again I'm sorry."

"Fitz you're stalling tell me whatever it is now or I swear to everything good in this world I will walk right out of here and never look back."

"Alright I'll tell you."

Just spill it already Fitz." Bianca said getting agitated with her boyfriend.

Well remember how I dropped out of Degrassi and got my GED and you kept telling me I should do something with it?"

"I do."

"Well I did."

"Fitz I don't get it this is great news."

"Hold on you wont think its so great when I tell you what it was I'm using my GED to do."

"Whatever it is can only be good."

"Bianca the thing I'm using my GED for is the army and with me going straight in I want to go in one hundred percent focused no strings they offered me the chance at culinary school after basic training and the chance to double up and become a mechanical specialist afterward, which could mean not only a better life for me but I could finally get my mom out of our old neighborhood".

Bianca was stunned and angry on one hand she was happy Fitz was finally going to be able to make a better life for himself and his family but upset because she would be losing him.

"Fitz I'm not going sit here and act like I'm completely happy with what you're doing because I'm not but I understand why you're doing it and because of that all I have to say is good luck hope this is what you really want."

"Bianca I know this sucks right now but think of it this way us ending as a couple doesn't mean we stop being friends I'll always be here for you no matter what just in a different way who knows with us done you may find someone who can give you the stars no questions asked you deserve you're a queen whoever you end up with next could be your dream soul-mate."

After Fitz's speech Bianca couldn't hold back anymore the tears began to flow.

"Fitz we were supposed to ride off together and now we cant because of you why this why now?"

"Bianca its whats best even if you don't see it now you will soon I swear it'll all work out and when it does you'll thank me and we'll both be stronger than ever from this." Fitz said as he got up and pulled Bianca up into a hug.

"I swear Fitz if you're wrong about this I'm going to kill you myself." Bianca blubbered into Fitz.

"Noted now go wash up and lets hit the ravine for a bonfire girlfriend or not I'll be dammed if I leave without one last bone-fire."

With that Bianca cleaned off her face and headed off with Fitz hoping this bitter sweet goodbye was indeed worth it in the end.

Update this Sunday which includes the identity of the third person involved in this web of love is revealed.
