Prologue

In my mind I never thought it would come. I wasn't looking forward to it. I held her so tight. I was scared that there might not be a tomorrow for Jen and I. Then I watched her walk away. For the third time in my life, I watched one of my prized possessions, my girlfriend, walk away from me. Far too many times, 'my girl' had walked out of my life. I felt this really sharp pain in my heart for Jen. When I got back to the hotel, I tried to close my eyes and sleep. But Jen filled my thoughts. She was gone and there was nothing I could do about it.
Nothing.

I figured the best way to leave Nick, would be to just walk away and not say anything. So that's what I did. I boarded the plane with tears in my eyes. I knew I wouldn't see Nicky again for at least three months. I was glad to see my mom, but no matter how hard I tried, I wanted it so much to be Nick holding me. But it wasn't.
