Lucas's POV:
Life was… weird, you could say. One second you're in high school, enjoying life as best as you can and the next second, you graduate and have to say goodbye to family and friends as you move away to a good college.
It was hard for me, knowing I had to leave my girlfriend and my sister behind to go into a dancing school in Hollywood. Until, of course, Ashley convinced me to let her come along with me. Truth to be told, I hoped she would. Come with me, I mean. The time I spent apart from her… during our misunderstanding, it was the worst time of my life. I was miserable. I wanted her next to me everywhere, and now she was coming with me. It was like a dream come true, except I was upset because it felt like I was taking away her dreams so she could be with me.
It was hard. It was really, really hard. I didn't know which step I should take, but she was sure about the step she wanted to take. So I accepted it. We'd stick together, forever. I would make sure of that.
Eden's POV:
Saying goodbye is the hardest thing I ever had to do. To my parents, to my brother, to my best friend… I wasn't very good with goodbyes. The one thing that kept me from breaking was the fact that Sterling would be with me.
Sterling, my boyfriend. My best friend, my life. We decided on the same college, we'd stay together in the same apartment… When we came to that conclusion, I was ecstatic. I wouldn't be alone. I would have someone to hug, to talk to, to spend my time with…
I was upset to see Lucas and Ashley off. It was terrible seeing them off, knowing I wouldn't see them every day again. It was a sick feeling, but I was doing better. Because Sterling was beside me, I was doing much better. The ring he gave me… it gave me support when he wasn't here. Things were… okay. Life was okay. College was good, classes were nice. The people… were different. But I guess different was good.
Anyway, I was looking forward to my new life with Sterling. With him beside me, life was colorful. I felt like I could conquer the world. I guess that's what love does to you.
I, Eden McArthur, found love. And I wasn't going to let anything get in between us.
