Hey, guys! Firstly, I totally want to thank everyone for the lovely reviews. They were very sweet and you guys are awesome for being so nice. =)

Guest: I'm actually working on my own story right now called "Scars" that I might publish eventually. Once I get a few more chapters written, I might put it up on fictionpress. Thanks for the encouragement! =)

I listened to "Impossible" by James Arthur while writing this chapter if you want to listen to it. Enjoy!

Sunny POV

I feel my heart shatter into a thousand pieces. The pain is almost unbearable and I fall into Burns's arms as I begin to cry. He holds me and kisses my head as he tells me it'll be ok, I'll be ok. But I know it isn't true. I'm not going to be ok, at least for a long time. I hear Wanda crying, too, and my heart somehow manages to break into even smaller pieces. My arms wrap tightly around Burns's waist and I feel tears of his own fall onto my head. I know that my make-up is running, but I don't care.

Burns is leaving, Wanda is leaving. They are leaving me. Why must people leave me once I learn to love them? The thought makes me cry harder and I know there will be no calming me for a long time.

"Why?" Rhiannon asks. Her voice is smothered by her obvious anger.

"I don't know," Wanda says quietly, the tears evident in her voice. "It's ok, though, I suppose. We're going to be fine, you guys will be fine. Eventually, you'll forget about us and that's ok. People are forgotten."

"You will not be forgotten," I say loudly and firmly. I look over at Wanda, loosening my death grip on Burns slightly. He just holds me tighter. "You will be remembered. No one can forget the happiness you bring everywhere with you." Wanda smiles at me, though I see the pain in it.

"Thank you. I'm sorry," She says. Her voice breaks and my heart threatens to rip more. "I'm so, so sorry." Rhiannon's expression changes then. Before I can comprehend it, Rhiannon's arms are around Wanda and after a moment, Wanda's arms go around Rhiannon as well. This is the first time I think I'll miss two people besides my parents and the thought breaks my heart yet again.

How will I be able to survive?

Ian POV

My phone vibrates and I jump up for it, instinctively thinking it's Wanda calling me. Mel's name lights up the screen and I debate not answering, considering how I'm not really in the mood to get yelled at for some shit I probably did that I didn't want to. After a minute, the phone stops and goes still. I shrug and reach to put it back down when it vibrates again. I look at it and see Mel's calling again. I grumble to myself and answer the phone.

"Yeah?" I ask rather forcefully.

"Wanda's leaving," She says quickly, obviously pissed. I feel my hopes begin to rise. I quickly try to dash them; I'll just get my heart broken if I let them rise.

"When?" I ask, praying the hope wasn't as obvious in my voice as it sounded.

"She's not coming here," She says, her voice getting louder with anger. "She's being sent to Wisconsin with Burns. I just thought you'd like to know." I know she's about to hang up on me, so I quickly say something that'll get her attention.

"I broke up with Haley." She's silent and I begin to worry that she already hung up.

"That's nice," She says. "Whatever brought that on?" I sigh.

"I didn't like her too much. Also, she kept bugging me about unimportant shit." She snorts.

"That's literally all that was wrong with that picture?" She says and I can hear the small smile on her face. It makes me smile a little, too.

"She's a total bitch that annoys the hell out of me and everyone around me," I say. She chuckles with me. "I'm sorry I was an ass for a while. Wanda leaving and breaking up with me….I needed something to distract me."

"And did it work?" She asks after a minute. "Getting distracted, I mean."

"No. It just made the pain of losing her hurt more when I didn't have anything to distract myself with." She sighs.

"She misses you. Do you want to know the real reason why she broke up with you?" She asks and I pause. She lied to me?

"What do you mean?" I ask. She sighs again, more irritated this time.

"She didn't want to be a burden on you," She says. "She thought that you'd be happier with a girl that could be there beside you every day. She thought that she was taking away from you."

"She was giving me more than I needed. Now look at me: I'm not really me. With Wanda gone, there's nothing holding me here." We stay silent again and I sigh. "I love her-really love her, Mel. I just….All I can think about is Wanda. It's like, 'Wanda would like that' and 'Wanda loved to do this' and I can't keep my head straight sometimes because I get so caught up in the memory of her smile or her giggles. It hurts, Mel, and I don't think it'll ever stop hurting. Because that's what love is, isn't it? The pain of loss once it's gone is a preview to Hell."

Burns POV

The Next Day

I wake up with a small body draped across my chest. I lift my head and see Sunny lying contently on me. I smile a little and lay her on her side beside me. She had some into my room late last night with more tears in her eyes. I had been lying in my bed, wide awake with only my thoughts for company. She hadn't been able to sleep so she crawled into my bed. I held her until we both fell asleep.

The movement awakens her. She smiles up at me a little, but it soon falls and she sits up, instantly awake.

"It's today, isn't it?" She asks as she looks down at me. I nod sadly.

"Yes," I say. "Today is the day."

And that's it for this chapter. Yes, yes, I know. It's short, yes, but the next chapter is when Burns and Wanda leave for Wisconsin. I wanted to choose a state that isn't really thought about much, considering they're currently residing in California which everyone knows and is frequently mentioned. I hope you enjoyed the chapter. Feel free to tell me in a review! =) Until the next chapter!
