I'm back! Sorry I didn't update as soon as I'd have liked. I've had brothers and cousins hanging off every bone in my body all day today. Writing another chapter is all I have strength left for.

"How could this happen to me? And right before my wedding to!" Gabriella half shouted.
"Sorry, Gabriella. If I could change all this, I'd do it in a heartbeat. But , unfortunately, it just doesn't work that way." Jessy said sadly.
"I just don't understand. You showed me this great future and brought all this hope of a happy life, but when everything is finally coming true you just have to show up and tell me that's all about to change!" Gabriella said plopping down on her bed.
"I never said it was going to be easy. Every future is subject to change. I guess I should have told you that before I showed you." Jessy sighed.
"Just leave." Gabriella said sternly.
"I just.."
"I said leave!" Gabriella shouted.
"You may not see me, but I'll always be here for you." Jessy said slowly fading out of sight.
Gabriella put her head in her hands as tears started to roll down her face. How was she going to tell Troy? It wasn't going to be easy. Shattering someone's dream never is.
'Now I know how Jessy must have felt.' Gabriella thought to herself.
She picked up the phone and with shaky hands, dialed Troy's all to familiar number.
"Hey, Gabriella!" Troy said on the other end.
"Troy, could you come over here? There's something I need to tell you." Gabriella said softly.
"Sure, ok." Troy answered in a very confused tone. "I'll be right over."
Gabriella hung up and slowly walked down the stairs. Soon she heard the doorbell ring. Gabriella walked over to the door and slowly opened it.
"Hi. Is everything ok?" Troy asked walking in.
Gabriella just wrapped her arms around him and pulled him into a big hug. Even though he didn't know the problem, he laid his head on top of hers and hugged her back. After about an hour Gabriella let go and lead him over to the couch.
"Troy..." Gabriella started. Then she stopped as the tears started to come back.
"Gabriella, if you're not ready to tell me you don't have to." Troy said putting his arms around her shoulders.
"No. I need to tell you now. Troy,...my company transferred me to Colorado." Gabriella managed to say before breaking down crying again.
"I's ok. It's ok." Troy whispered as he rocked Gabriella back and forth. "It's ok. We'll make this work. Somehow."
