The days were dwindling down and summer was nearly approaching, of course to Rick and Kate's dismay.

"And your sure there's no way you can stay?" Kate and Rick were lying in the grass outside of his house holding hands. She in a white sun dress and he in a sky blue shirt and jeans.

"K, you know if I could, I would. I'd much rather be with you then in a New York hotel with nothing to do, but play with the key card."

Rick and Kate had been planning for weeks. They were going to spend as much time together as they could. They'd lay in the grass, run, watch movies, truly have a summer of love before they started their first year of high school. Unfortunately their plans were derailed by Rick's mom, Martha getting married to some rich guy in New York City and he had to go there for the entire summer for them to trial run their living arrangements.

"Richard, it's time to come in darling we have to pack." His mom called.

He stood up and helped Kate up off of the grass. He then pulled her in for a very forceful bear hug.

"Ricky, it'll be okay. It's just 2 months." He suddenly pulled back from her and he saw the question on her face.

"Uh, actually sweetie, if this works out, us living together, me and my mom will be permanently moving to New York."

Silence, and then running away.

"Ugh... KATE!" He ran as fast as he could. When he finally caught up with her she was half way home. They only lived 5 blocks away from each other so the distance wasn't that much, but it was still enough. He grabbed her shoulder and turned her around only to see her tear stained cheeks. "Kate..."

"What Rick? God, when were you planning on telling me, when you didn't show up in the fall?!"

"Kate, I'm sorry. I just I- I didn't know how to tell you and I kind of didn't want to believe it myself. Please forgive me."

"I'm not mad at you, Ricky," she put her arms around his neck and leaned their foreheads together "I just don't want you to go."

He pulled back and grabbed her hand. "Come on, I'll take you home."

They walked the rest of the way to her house in complete silence, once in a while rubbing a thumb over the backs of each others hands.

When they got to her door, she hugged him and they stood, hugging for what felt like a life time. Finally, her mom came out and told her it was time for dinner.

"So..." At this point she had no idea what to say.

"Hey, I've got something for you." He began mussing around in his pockets before saying, "turn around."

She turned and a few seconds later felt something cold and silver come across her neck. Once the shiny piece of jewelry was properly in place, she turned around to face him while looking down and reading the words inscribed on the necklace: 'Always'

"What's this?"

"That's so you won't forget me while I'm gone. And so any potential smoking hot wrestling captains won't get the wrong idea."

She laughed. It was amazing how much he'd made her laugh since they'd started dating. She was lost in thought when she felt something touch her lips. She looked up to see- oh, he was kissing her! She wrapped her arms around his neck and couldn't keep her thoughts straight. Once he pulled back, he place one small kiss on her nose and said, "and that's my promise to you. A promise that I will be back."

She kissed him again. "So...you promise?"

"Always"


Tried to make this super fluffy and cutesy.
