Chapter 2: My Sacrifice

My name Will Vandom and I had a boyfriend named Matt but we broke it off for a while and decided to just be friends. Why did we, I had to sacrifice a lot for him. My mother and I moved away and Matt went and got a band. Now he didn't want to break up but I knew that it would be best and so I broke it off for him. Now I have returned to Heatherfield six years later. No doubt that I love Matt still and now the thought of seeing him again is a little awkward but I will eventually have to face him at one point. I am scared to see him again, why you may ask. Because I told Matt that I would wait for him and then we moved and I ended up in another relationship just to help keep Matt off my mind. I know that's selfish and it was totally stupid but all I could think of was Matt and so I needed a distraction. So the relationship didn't last long but hey, that doesn't mean I didn't have them. I promised Matt that I would be his forever and that I would wait and I broke that promise but at least on the one hand; I didn't make a vow on the heart or any heart actually. Now here I am walking through the streets thinking of what to say and even how to say what it is I want to say.

Will went walking through the streets of Heatherfield thinking of what to say and nothing coming to mind. She could only hope that Matt wasn't going to be home when he said he would but then again, Matt would call and tell her. She felt like she would die right then and there. 'Maybe I won't even see him tonight and maybe he will have another girlfriend. Not that I want him to have another but it would make me feel better.' Will thought about what she just thought about and came to a realization. 'Man, I am so selfish.' She thought and then she saw something that she hadn't been to in years. 'The Silver Dragon.' Will walked up to the door and walked in just to run into a medium sized Chinese girl with long hair. "Hay Lin, is that you?"

"Will, you're back. It's so good to see you but a lot has changed since you left. I do realize that it wasn't your fault that you moved and everyone else realizes that too but the fact is; things have changed. Ever since that sacrifice you made for Matt, things have turned odd for lack of a better word. Matt came home earlier then expected and came looking for you. He quit his job because he wanted to be with you and when he came home, he never found you. He wants to go back to being just more then friends but now he feels like you betrayed him almost. You did say that you would wait for him and when he didn't find you, he thought that you didn't try very hard to not move like you did the first time. Matt thinks that you don't like him anymore and so he hasn't been out of his house very much. He is beginning to think that that sacrifice you made for him was to get away from him." Hay Lin said in a very depressed tone of voice.

"I love him Hay Lin and he needs to know that. Where is he?" Will asked almost too quickly.

"He is" Hay Lin paused and then pointed behind Will.

Will turned around and saw Matt standing in the doorway of the restaurant. "Matt." Will yelled. She ran over to him and just stood there forgetting what she could possibly say.

Hello my friend, we meet again
It's been awhile, where should we begin?
Feels like forever
Within my heart are memories
Of perfect love that you gave to me
Oh, I remember

When you are with me, I'm free
I'm careless, I believe
Above all the others we'll fly
This brings tears to my eyes
My sacrifice

"Will." Matt said as nicely as he could.

"Matt, I… my… after" Will said trying to figure out what to say.

A small tear ran down Matt's cheek. "You left me after you promised that you wouldn't. What other promise have you broken?"

Will could tell Matt is angry and he has every right to be angry. "Let's go into the basement ok." Will then headed to the basement and Matt followed close behind. When they reached the basement, Will turned and kept her face looking toward the ground. "Matt, I did date when I moved." As soon as she said this, Matt looked away from her and let some more tears fall. "I'm sorry Matt. I was being selfish to have done that. I only dated to keep me from thinking of you because I thought that I would never see you again. I never meant to hurt you Matt." Will said with a river of tears flowing down her cheeks.

We've seen our share of ups and downs
Oh how quickly life can turn around
In an instant
It feels so good to reunite
Within yourself and within your mind
Let's find peace there

When you are with me, I'm free
I'm careless, I believe
Above all the others we'll fly
This brings tears to my eyes
My sacrifice

"I know that the so called sacrifice that I made doesn't sound like much but I swear; all I wanted to do was help you fulfill your dreams. You wanted to become a rock star Matt and I thought that letting you go would help you but then my mother asked to move for reasons that I couldn't argue with. What she said wasn't very nice but it was how she felt and my mother didn't want me here anymore. My mother said that you don't love me enough because you wanted to leave me for who knows how many years just to work on your career. I tried my best to tell her that that isn't correct but my mother didn't listen to me and refused to hear your name again. She was very angry with you Matt and even trying to talk about you was impossible. She didn't even give us three days. It was an instant move Matt. I do love you Matt, more then anything." Will didn't get the chance to say anything else before Matt cut in.

"Why didn't you call me and tell me about your move Will. It would have hurt me Will but to come home and found that you moved after promising that you wouldn't leave me; that hurt me so much more. The only thing that came to mind was that you hated me." Matt said, tears rolling down his cheeks.

"I wanted to call you Matt but my mother forbade it. She wouldn't let me talk to you and she even made me delete your phone number. Believe me Matt, I love you. No one else but you." Will said with a river of tears rolling down her cheeks.

"I forgive you and I am going to assume that you only dated because of your mother as well." Will nodded and then felt something press against her lips. She is being kissed again and she gladly kissed back.

I just want to say hello again
I just want to say hello again

When you are with me I'm free
I'm careless, I believe
Above all the others we'll fly
This brings tears to my eyes
Cause when you are with me I am free
I'm careless, I believe
Above all the others we'll fly
This brings tears to my eyes
My sacrifice, My sacrifice

I just want to say hello again
I just want to say hello again

My sacrifice.
