Eleven Years Before
Narrator's POV

Everything had seemed so perfect for the two young teens. They had their whole lives mapped out. Brian had planned on attending college for music, a passion of his. To better himself with the music language and to obtain himself a career in the music industry once he completed his schooling. Kadence had her hopes set on becoming a pediatric doctor and helping young children who suffered from cancer.

Both had high hopes, the only thing stopping them from achieving their dreams, was each other. In order for Brian's dreams to come true he had to stay in California and attend a local college before making his way into the university. Kadence on the other hand had to move away, out east to achieve her dreams of becoming the pediatric doctor she wanted to become. Neither wanted to say goodbye. Neither wanted to let go of what they had…

Looking into his chocolate eyes Kadence felt her heart skip a beat. She felt like nothing else in the world mattered. All she wanted was Brian, and to be with him forever. But she knew if that were to happen, she'd either have to give up her dream. Or Brian give up his dream. Kadence bit down on her lower lip lightly as she sat in the small café in town waiting on Brian to arrive. Tapping her fingers nervously she knew this would not go like she'd hope. She knew it'd probably turn our worse than anything.

Feeling a hand place upon her shoulder as she glanced over seeing Brian standing there. His choppy black hair in perfect place on his head, as he pulled his dark sunglasses off his eyes and slid them into his pocket. "Hey babe." He smiled lightly leaning in and kissing her lips lightly.

"Hey." Kadence replied softly.

Kadence watch closely as her boyfriend of six years sit down in front of her. A smile plastered upon his perfect lips as he stared into her deep blue eyes. Smiling lightly Kadence took and moved her thumbs in a circle motion as she took and glanced up at Brian to see him eyeing her in a funny manner. "What?" Kadence gently asked.

"What's wrong, Kade?" Brian asked wanting to know what was wrong with his girlfriend.

Kadence sighed as she looked down a moment, "You know I got accepted into Harvard right?" Kadence glanced up staring at Brian as he nodded. "I leave tonight." She whispered hesitantly and lightly.

"You what?" Brian asked dumbfounded and stunned by what he had just heard come out of her mouth.

"I leave tonight Brian…" Kadence mumbled sighing dropping her head. "I know you're not willing to give up your dream of music, and I am not willing to give up my dream of becoming a pediatric doctor." She began as she sighed heavily looking up at Brian. "What does this mean Brian?" She asked/

"I've always heard that long distance relationships are rough." Brian stared at her.

Kadence nodded her head lightly and ran her tiny hand through her hair lightly sighing. Her gaze glanced down at the promise ring on her marriage finger knowing what was coming from this. This was going to be the end of them, something she didn't want to happen. "Kade, I don't want to do this… I love you too fucking much…" Brian said his voice cracking towards the end of his statement. "But maybe it's for the best… That we go our own ways…" He muttered his voice cracking more.

Kadence glanced up lightly and saw the tears brimming the edge of his chocolate orbs. Tears brimming her own deep blue orbs. Wiping them away before he could notice the tears. Standing up lightly she walks over hugging Brian tightly and walking away to save the two of them anymore heart ache. She knew this was the start to something new, and leaving behind a big part of her life and heart…
