A/N- Ok, ok, I'm so sorry. I know that this was supposed to be out a few days ago, but my life suddenly decided to get busy again. I've been trying to update, but I just haven't had the time. I could say that I was just waiting until I had this perfect, but that's only part of the truth. Anyways, here's the next chapter, and I hope that you like it. :)
Aimee- Well, ya know. Thanks. :)

I get up to go to bed, to make this day end, but I can't seem to bring myself to walk to my bedroom. Instead, I walk over to my stereo, and turn it on. I settle back into the couch, and close my eyes as the haunting melody of Richard Marx's 'Right Here Waiting' begins to float through the air.
Oceans apart day after day
and I slowly go insane
I hear your voice on the line
But it doesn't stop the pain.
All I can think is how unbelievably true this song is. This guy must have had to go through a separation with the one he loved, because there is no way that he would be able to write lyrics like these if he didn't. I breathe deeply, and allow the lyrics to consume my body.
If I see you next to never
How can we say forever
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
I only hope that Max knows that I'm here waiting for her.
I took for granted, all the times
That I thought would last somehow
I hear the laughter, I taste the tears
But I can't get near you now
Oh, can't you see it baby
You've got me goin' crazy
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
The song ends, and my stereo turns off. It's so apropos that that song is at the end of the cd. I begin to rise off the couch to go to bed when I hear a knocking at my door. Figuring that it probably is another one of my neighbors complaining about the music, I decided to just ignore them. Then on second thought, they know I'm home, so I can't really ignore them without being rude. I tiredly walk towards the door, and open it up. My heart literally stops and my legs feel as though they will quickly fail me. There she is. There's my love, and she's standing right in front of me. I look into her eyes, and they look so different. She's not the girl that I have been building up in my mind. She is someone different. We regard each other for what seems like an eternity. I begin to think that my last letter was a mistake. I should never have asked what I did. She's different now. I look deep into her soul, and that's when it happened.

A/N- Yes, I know, that was cruel, but look at it this way. Baring any unforeseen problems, I will have the next chapter out in two days, and then the final chapter this weekend. I know you've waited through all of my inconsistent updating, so hopefully you can make it through this week. :) Until next time!
