Imagine: Austin Mahone Edition *EDITING*

Reality

A phone ringing on the nightstand beside me is what I woke up to on that Saturday morning. My emotions were everywhere but grief as the lady on the other line offered me the job of a life time. There was no way I could say no.
As I hung up, I looked over and into your hazel eyes.
"Congratulations baby," you said.
I couldn't even think let alone speak to reply. My mind had been blown. Chances like this never happen to me.
I remember how you kissed me. I remember how that was the last time I ever felt like you truly meant it. How you held me just a little bit tighter than normal, and maybe how you used a little more aggression, but I thought it was because you were just as excited as I was.
I soon found out you weren't.
If I took the job, I lost you.
Your life was there and you couldn't just get up and leave. As I pleaded I would stay, you laughed. Your hand came up to my cheek to caress me like I was your only treasure and your thumb did the little swoop over my bottom lip.
"Go, you're not staying here because of me. I won't let you."
"We can do long distance, we'll Skype every night and we can FaceTime some-" I started babbling, but the look in your eyes shut me up entirely. You didn't want that. You didn't want us at all because you knew it would only hurt us more than heal us. You pecked my cheek and helped me pack. As I left I had hope that I could come back a couple years from then and be with you again, but it's been 4 years and today I saw on Twitter that your wife tweeted a photo of you and your 2nd new born son.
