Chapter 1: Before the Break-up
Tommy Oliver and Kimberly Hart were sitting down at a restaurant. He could not help but stare at Kim in her pale pink dress, hair up in curls. It had been nearly three years since they had started dating. This would be their last night together. Kim was moving to Florida tomorrow, and Tommy wanted to spend every last second with her before she boarded the plane.
"Kim, you look so beautiful," Tommy said, taking her little hand in his, never wanting to let it go. Kim blushed and looked down. "Whom am I kidding?" Kim gave him a puzzled look. She was not sure what he meant by that. "You're always beautiful, no matter what you have on."
"Thanks," Kim replied with a smile.
"I still can't believe you're going to Florida," Tommy said as he sighed.
"I won't if you don't want me to," Kim said.
Kim did and did not want to go. If Tommy wanted her to stay, she would. Inside, she was begging him to tell her to stay.
"No, you need to do this," Tommy insisted. "You've already given Kat your coin anyway."
Tommy then let Kim's hand go as he reached into his pocket and took out a little black box. Kim's eyes widened.
"Tommy is that what I think it is?" she asked.
"No," he answered as he handed Kim the small box.
As Kim opened the box up, her face turned red as water filled her eyes.
"I don't get it, Tommy. Isn't this an engagement ring?" she asked, rubbing her eyes.
"I wanted it to be, but I just don't think I'm ready for marriage at this point," he admitted, wiping more tears off of Kim's cheek as she continued to cry. "It's a promise ring." Nick Lachey's Edge of Eternity began to play in the background. "May I have this dance?" Tommy asked.
"Of course," Kim said. She smiled happily as she took Tommy's hand and headed toward the dance floor. "Wait." Kim went running back to the table to retrieve her promise ring. "Sorry about that."
Tommy then took both the ring and Kim's hand to put it on her.
Destiny cannot be shaken
Fate will send us where we need to be
Many turns our love has taken
But in the end you're standing here with me
Now it's a long road to forever
But together I know we'll find a way
Now we're standing on the edge
Edge of the eternity you and I
We're standing hand in hand
Nothing will break our love
I'll cherish you each day 'til I die
For all eternity you and I
"I love you, Beautiful." Tommy said, kissing Kim and pulling her closer.
"I love you too, Tommy," Kim replied, putting her head on his shoulder, looking down at her ring. "I love my ring."
She was going to be on a plane heading to Florida in less than 24 hours. The only thing Kim wanted was more time, just another day with Tommy.
My heart's filled with such emotion
You're the reason for the air I breathe
I pledge to you all my devotion
Until death do part you away from me
I've never been so close to heaven
As the moment when I looked into your eyes
We're standing on the edge
Edge of eternity you and I
We're standing hand in hand
Nothing will break our love
I'll cherish you each day 'til I die
For all eternity you and I
And baby together
There is so much we have yet to see
And now and forever
I pray you'll always be here with me
Eternally
We're standing on the edge
Edge of the eternity you and I
We're standing on the edge
Edge of the eternity you and I
We're standing on the edge
Edge of the eternity you and I
We're standing hand in hand
For all eternity
ooo ooo
For all eternity
"Hey, you want to get out of here?" Tommy asked as the song ended.
"What do you have in mind?" Kim wondered as she gave him a smile.
"Well, it's your last night here. I was kind of hoping we could spend it together," Tommy said.
"You really mean it?" Kim asked, surprise in her voice.
"Yeah, I do," Tommy said. "But only if you're up to it though. I don't want you to be in any way uncomfortable."
"I could never be uncomfortable around you," Kim replied.

Tommy, Adam, Aisha, Billy, and Rocky were with Kim to see her off.
"Don't forget to write, girl," Aisha said as she hugged Kim.
"I won't," Kim laughed.
"Come here," Billy said, pulling Kim into his arms.
"I'm going to miss you all," Kim cried.
Billy let her go as she began to cry.
"If you need anything, you know who to call," Rocky said.
"You always know how to make anyone feel better," Kim smiled.
"Bye, Kim," Adam said.
One by one, everyone left until it was just Tommy and Kim. She was praying that he would tell her to stay.
"Kim, you know you still have time to bail and not go," Tommy told her.
"I know," she said.
Kim let her head fall. Tommy slowly lifted her head back up by her chin.
"Just ask me to stay already," Kim begged inside.
She closed her eyes tight as her flight was called.
"Well, that's you," Tommy said.
"Yeah, that's me," Kim sighed.
"Take care, Beautiful," Tommy smiled.
"I will," Kim said.
Kim leaned in to give Tommy one last kiss.
"Tommy I swear, you better say it now," she yelled to herself.
"Bye," was all he said.
"Bye," Kim sighed.
She turned and headed for the gate with her head down.
"Kim," Tommy yelled.
Kim's heart stopped as he called her name.
"This is it. He's going to ask me to stay," she said to herself.
With a big smile on her face, she turned to meet him.
"Yes?" Kim asked.
"Um, you forgot your jacket," Tommy said.
She walked over to him and took it from his hands.
"Thanks," Kim said.
With that, she turned back around and walked through the gate into the airplane that would take her to Florida.
