"I'm gonna miss you."

"I'm gonna miss you too. Most of all, your rodeos." I said, making him laugh.

"I'm glad we could spend my last day here together." He said. "Me too."

I then notice him tearing up.

"Aww, Dwayne. When you're gone, I promise the first thing I'd do is write to ya." I said. "I know it's just..."

"What if I get too busy with hockey and I won't remember you or think to visit you and you'll end up marryin' another man?" He said.

"Dwayne. I ain't marryin' no one but you. And, there is no possible way you could even forget me and I know that. No matter how busy you might be with hockey, you will not forget your family and me." I said.

He then gave me a kiss and we continued to watch the stars.

The next day I woke up early so I wouldn't have to miss saying goodbye to Dwayne.

I got all ready and left the house. I walked to Dwaynes house which isn't too far from mine. I already saw him on his front porch with his suitcases.

"Dwayne!" I shouted, getting his attention. He ran to me, hugged me, picked me up and spun me around. I landed back on my feet as we chuckled.

"I'm surprised you woke up early." He said. "I'm shocked myself too." I said. "C'mon, I ought to miss my bus if we stay here for too long." He said. He packed in his suitcases in the trunk of his car and the taxi drove us and Dwaynes parents to the bus station.

We waited for the bus. While waiting, he then looked at me then hugged me.

"Bye sweetheart. I'll miss you a lot." He said. "Keep an eye on the television, I might just pop up there." "I will." I said with tears in my eyes.

He wipes them and kisses me.

"I love you." He said, right when I could hear the bus coming. "I love you too, Dwayne. I always have." I said.

"C'mon son, let's go." His dad said.

He smiles at me and runs to the bus. He sat near the window as I saw him go away.

•DWAYNES POV •

I miss Y/n, a lot. I'm glad we still write to each other. It's only been two years.

Talking about how good I was and how I was on TV, talking about my new friends, many things.

One day, I was just practicing with everyone. We was havin' fun like we always do. Then we had a break.

During that break, Coach Orion said there's someone wanting to see me.

"Did ya get a name?" I asked. "I think it was Ms. Or Mrs. Y/l/n? Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's that." He said.

My jaw dropped, my heart skipped a beat, and I was shocked to hear what I just heard.

"Where is she?" I asked. "She's just on the other side of the rink." I then immediately got up and skated all the way to the other side. I heard the others follow me too.

"Y/n!" I shouted but as I got closer, it didn't look like Y/n. It looked like her mother. I finally got to her.

"Dwayne!" Her mother said. "Mrs Y/l/n! It's good to see you!" I said. "It's good to see you too. Your skating skills are getting better." She said with a giggle.

"Where's Y/n?" I asked, looking around her. She then looked down at her feet and looked back up at me this time with tears in her eyes.

"Mrs Y/l/n, what's wrong?" I asked, starting to get worried.

"I wanted to tell you this in person." She started.

"Y/n, umm. She caught a virus that the doctors couldn't find out what virus it was and she was getting sicker and sicker everyday." Mrs Y/l/n said as she starts to sob.

"She was fighting, Dwayne. She fought hard but she wasn't strong enough." She said. "She didn't want to worry you."

"Wh- where is she now? Is she alright?" I asked, way more worried than I was before.

"She's gone, Dwayne. I'm sorry but your girlfriend is gone. She didn't make it." Mrs Y/l/n starts to cry.

I was at lost for words. She's gone? Why didn't she tell me? I could've took care of her. Why didn't I just stay in Texas? I'm such a fool.

"She wanted me to tell you that she loves you, Dwayne. She really did and I could tell too." She said.

Charlie went up to me and put his hand on my shoulder. "Dwayne, you okay?" He asks.

I didn't say nothin'. I just skated back off to the changing room and just sat on the toilet for hours, crying and not knowing what to do anymore.

My girl is gone.
