Hey everybody! I'm back with a new Digimon story. I'd like to point out that this story is based on actual events from my life.

Most subjects in this story are very near to my heart and soul so please bare with me.

Chapter One: Parting Ways

"Are you going to be okay?"

I sighed at my boyfriend's question and broke our eye contact. 'Of course I'm not going to be okay…but I have to put on a brave face...for Tai.' I try to hold back the tears as Tai lifts my chin.

"Matt…you have to look at me. It's okay if you cry but if you don't talk to me now, it could be a long time before we see each other face to face again." I could see those chocolate eyes watering and couldn't stop the tears from falling.

"Don't remind me…" I couldn't bare to think about it. Neither of us had cars to travel with or friends that would possibly take us to see each other as often as we'd like. If we were lucky, we'd get see each other once every two months. My breathing was shaky as Tai gently wiped my tears away but I knew that he was right and savored our last moments. I stared deep in his eyes before laying my head on Tai's shoulder and wrapping my arms around him tight. With a small sigh, Tai pulled me close and kissed my forehead.

I felt Tai jump as we heard a loud honk and yelling from outside my apartment. Silently, I cursed Tai's soccer buddies that were going off to college with him and clung to Tai tighter. Tai embraced me briefly but I could feel as he began to let go. My eyes watered enough to overflow but I stopped the tears from falling. I wanted to cling longer but I gave in and let Tai go; I felt my heart break a little as I did.

I turned away as Tai swung his duffle bag over his shoulder and flashed a half fake smile at him when he looked back to me. He pulled me in for one last hug and kiss before opening the door just as another honk rang out from four floors down. I watched as Tai ran down to his friends and, even though I knew Tai was hurting inside, I still felt that he wasn't as hurt as I was. He was moving on to better things while I was getting left behind.

After Tai greeted his fellow jocks, he looked back up to me and mouthed an 'I love you.' I mimicked his words and blew him a kiss. He smiled and I could only stare as the love of my life sped down the road.

I walked around my empty apartment and found that everything reminded me of him and all of the times we spent here. Since my dad is never home, we usually spent afternoons here without the hassle of anyone checking up on us constantly. In my mind, I could see our memories playing out before me like a movie. I could see him hugging me from behind with that big mischievous grin on his face while I tried to cook to no avail. I felt more tears filling up my eyes and clenched my fists tightly.

"Come on Matt. He's only an hour away from here. You cannot be serious about being this upset…you're acting like you're never going to see him again." My voice echoed throughout the apartment but as much as I tried to talk myself out of it, I simply could not keep from crying. Defeated, I dragged myself to my room, locked the door behind me and collapsed into a pile of tears on my bed.

How was it? Please Review! Any suggestions or constructive criticism is welcome (as well as praise.) I know it was a short chapter but this is only the beginning. Also, the title for this story was thought of just so I could post it so if anyone has a better title that they think would work, please tell me. Or if you think that the current title is great, tell me that too.

:What's Up Next:

Chapter 2 will go back to the beginning where Matt and Tai's relationship first began in one fateful moment.
