-Emily's POV-

"Hanna no! What do you think you're doing?" I yell at Hanna's anxiety.

"You're not going to New York with me. You have a very nice swimming scholarship ahead of you at Danby. You're not gonna let it go because of me." She reasoned out. We regularly have our own sleepover to which both of our parents allow. They don't even ask us to keep the doors open so we have the freedom to do everything we want. We could just be having a hot make out session now but instead we're having this freak of an argument.

"I love you more than swimming Hanna. I don't need that scholarship. I'd work my way through college or maybe I could get another swimming scholarship on a school in New York." I don't see the point of talking over this. I've always dreamed of going to Danby when I was younger but my dreams had changed since Hanna came. I love her so much that I'm willing to sacrifice my own dream for her to reach hers.

"Emily don't. Your future is as bright as sunshine with that scholarship. We both know I might not get into the Fashion Institute. You shouldn't be risking your future gambling into mine. Think about your mom, you're all she has Emily. You can't be away all the time, she'll be alone and she'll get sad and lonely." I take a moment to process. My dad is always away and if I left for college she'd be all by herself. Danby's 45 minutes to an hour away from Rosewood while New York had to take at least 4 hours on the road.

"She's been supportive now of my decisions. She could always come visit us or stay with dad. Nobody gets to tell me what I should do in my life." I prove to her that I was in control

"I can't let you waste that opportunity Em. I can't be the jealous girlfriend who leads you to an accident that takes away your life and is left with nothing but a cold lifeless body to cry on to." I saw her covered face covered in tears, just the way how she looked like on her sleep last night.

"Is this about your dream? I told you it wasn't real. It was just a dream Hanna. You're awake and I'm here very much alive. You will always get jealous wherever I may be." This was getting nowhere

"It's not. It's about your future. From now on I want you to focus on yourself Emily. Stop thinking about me… and start thinking about your future" she was crying but she looked serious. Now I'm taking back what I said. Apparently this was getting somewhere. Somewhere that I don't want to get into.

"What are you trying to say Hanna?" I wish she don't mean it the way I understand it.

"I'm setting you free Emily" the words echoed my mind. The world turned into slow motion. The five words that broke my heart once again to pieces.

"You're setting me free because you're afraid to lose me? Are you stupid?" I laughed sarcastically "It's not just my future we're talking about Hanna. It's OUR future. I thought THIS is what's it's all about" I raised my hand that had the promise ring on.

"If we're meant to be then we'll find our way back together." All I was hearing was crap. I couldn't take it any longer. I broke down and curl to the side of the bed. She made her way to console me but I pat her hand off me. No she's not gonna console me after she just broke me.

"Go away Hanna. Leave!" I scream at her. Being the stubborn Hanna that she is, she sat down across me with her knees close to her chin and teary eyes staring at me.

We just sat there in silence. There's too much that I don't understand. It was a struggle to be with her, a battle to speak for my true feelings and get back with her again, and now it all comes to this? We had a lot to risk before reaching this point and I can't let it to go to waste. We risked our friendship for this. I wanted to risk my dreams for her. I would always risk anything for her.

I raised my head and look at her. "I'm going to take the Danby Scholarship"

A.N. So I'm ending this chapter with a cliffhanger. This probably is the 3rd to the last chapter of this story. I need to know your reviews whether I should end this and start a new story or extend this story for a bit and add more fluff.
