I apologize for this short chapter, it is merely a transition to the next chapter.

Sophie POV

I come to the realization that I will never get over losing the baby, but I know there is only one way I can deal with this.

I manage the courage to call Teddy. I don't care if its two in the morning, there is no better time than the present.

"Sophie, I am so glad that you called, I've missed you so much."

"Can you come home, I'm ready to talk."

"I will be there in 30 minutes."

That gives me enough time to do what I need to do and change my clothes.

I hear the front door open and grab my phone out of my room and go and find Teddy.

"What the hell is this?" He says looking at the packing boxes. "Sophie you are scaring the hell out of me, what's going on?"

"I'm leaving?"

"What do you mean you're leaving?"

"I realized that the only reason you proposed is because of the baby and now that the baby is gone there is no reason for us to be together."

"I proposed because I love you, that's why. Do you know that even if there was no baby I was still planning on proposing?"

"Teddy, please don't make this any hard than it has to be."

I grab my purse and text Michaels to come load up my things.

"You are upset and grieving; you don't know what you're saying."

"Teddy, stop, you are trying to live your childhood fantasy that someday we would be together in the end and it worked for a little while, but I know that I can't be with you now or ever and once you accept that you can move on."

I head to the elevator but Teddy jumps in front of me.

"That's it, you are just going to leave me with that bullshit excuse, and you know you don't feel that way. You are hurting and not dealing with this the right way."

"Stop telling me how to feel, now get out of my way."

"Don't you love me anymore?"

"I will always love you, but no, I'm not in love with you anymore."

"I don't believe that, where are you going to go?"

"To New York, I still have my apartment there. Now, please move, my flight leaves in an hour."

"You're joking right; I'm not letting you go, not like this."

I step in the elevator and turn around to face Teddy.

"Teddy, you need to let me go, I don't love you anymore."

Teddy POV

This has to be a nightmare, please wake up.

I have to stop her from leaving. I know I can't wait for the elevator to come back up so I take the stairs down 30 floors. I fly down the stairs. I make my way down to the garage just as Michaels drives away.

She's gone, she's really gone.

I pull out my phone and call Sophie.

I can't believe that she's blocked my number.

I call Phoebe.

"She's gone," I cry into the phone.

"What do you mean?"

"She broke up with me and is on a flight back to New York."

"Tell me you're joking,"

"Where are you?"

"I'm at Escala."

Phoebe says she is coming over. I tell her not to say anything to mom and dad. I don't want them knowing or Taylor for that matter.

I go back up to our apartment and look around. Every trace of her is gone. She has emptied all of her drawers, the closet.

I fall onto the bed; I can't believe that I might not ever see her again. I have lost so much in the last 48 hours. I don't know how I can live without her.

That's when I first notice it. Sophie's engagement ring on the bedside table.

Phoebe finds me on the floor of my room sitting against my bed holding up her ring.

"Teddy, I'm so sorry."

"I just don't understand."

"I called Sophie."

"What, did you talk to her?"

"Yes, she was just boarding the plane."

"Sophie, did she say anything?"

"She said she was sorry for hurting you and this is what's best for you."

Really, it's for the best?

"I'm so sorry Teddy, what can I do?"

"I need a drink," I say getting up and head to the kitchen. "Want to join me?"

I fix Phoebe and I each a whiskey sour. I think I've lost count after my third one and start to drink straight from the bottle. Phoebe fell asleep hours ago. I'm just sitting out on the balcony waiting for Sophie to change her mind and come back to me.

I don't even know how long I've out there when Phoebe comes out to check on me.

"Are you still drinking?"

"Nope." I say holding up the empty bottle.

"I called mom and dad to let them know you're okay. They already know. Gail told him.

"Phe, I don't know how I can live without her. She was my life."

"It will take some time, and we are all here for you."

"You are the best little sister anyone can have."
