I looked at Issac, I couldn't stop the tears from flowing. Betrayal, hurt, anger, pick an emotion. I have plenty. I turned my head away from his line of sight to sustain what little dignity i had left. I felt his hand graze mine; I can only assume he was trying to grab it to pull me closer to him.

"Olivia please. Don't." i could hear the pleading in his voice, the sound causing my blood to boil. *

"NO." I shouted and he winced slightly. "No. You don't get to do that. You threw five years down the drain. Five long years. Five years I spent doing everything in my power to show you I loved you and you were everything to me. Five years of my life I could of been continuing my own dreams, seeing the world, anything i could think of. But I didn't i stayed here with you because I MADE A VOW." I seethed chucking the closest thing i could get my hands on at him, luckily it was only a throw pillow he caught it and set it on the table.

"You are acting like we are over! Nothing is changing. I still love you." He shouted back at me.

"You took a job in another country Issac. You didn't talk to me about it. You didn't bring it up. You didn't even tell me i found out checking our VOICEMAIL." I seethed. "By the way you have a flight Monday morning at 8 am." The tears burned my skin at this point. I was crying before i even saw him today.

"I didn't know how. I didn't know what to say, how to say it. When to say it." His hands lifted up above his head and he turned his voice getting choked up. "You have been my rock forever. I knew you wouldn't be able to go with me, but I couldn't deny this. This is the biggest opportunity of my life. An entire buried civilization barely below the surface. I couldn't say no." My emotions turning numb. I looked at him dumbfounded.

"Do you think I'm that controlling? Do you think I would tell you no? I would make you stay? Beg you to stay? Do you think I would sabotage you into no being able to go? I'm some terrible psychotic freak? I'm not upset you are going; I'm pissed off that you fucking lied to me Issac." I shrieked; I'll be it an obnoxious shriek i immediately wanted to take back. I'm not a pick me choose me love me girl, but this man has been my everything for the past 5 plus years.

"How did I lie to you?" He yelled back. I hope hes acting because if not he is genuinely an idiot.

"I found out on a voicemail Issac. A VOICEMAIL. Not even that you got the job, but that you were leaving Monday to start it. IN CHINA. That means you found the job, or maybe they found you. You talked about the job and or interviewed for the job, you got the job and accepted it, AND THEN YOU GOT A FLIGHT TO HEAD THERE. FOR THE NEXT THREE YEARS! AND I KNEW NOTHING. I'll give it to ya you kept it hidden really well. Honestly I wish it were another woman this would hurt so much less." I wiped the tears streaming down my face and headed to the kitchen for a glass of water. At this rate I'm going to need it. I could hear his footsteps behind me. I grabbed a glass and turned on the faucet on filling the cup and bringing it to my lips. His arms finding my waist and puling me close. The warmth familiar and I melted into it like I always did.

"Liv. This isn't the end baby. Please listen to me. Let me explain." I finished the glass of water and filled it again before pulling away and walking away from him. I walked into the Livingroom sitting in my recliner with my feet up i grabbed my blanket and took another sip of water before setting it on the side table.

"Fine." I looked at him ready to hear what he had to say.

"I tried to tell you so many times. Every time I panicked and chickened out like a coward. I looked at you and everything would disappear. The thought of leaving was to much I would talk myself into turning it down. I would have easily decided against it. My mind knew I had to do this. My heart wouldn't have let me. I can't begin to imagine this adventure without you. I briefly thought about sneaking you onto the flight with me." I chuckled and immediately regretted it. " Baby I am so sorry that is how you found out. It should have been from me. I am so incredibly sorry." A few tears slipped down his cheeks, and I lost it. I ran to him embracing him. He fell to his knees kneeling and I wrapped my legs around his waist. I cried into his neck, and he cried into mine. "Liv I can't imagine life without you." He cried plastering my cheeks neck face with small kisses like we were trying to memorize the feeling of our faces. His beautiful brown eyes sparkling with the tears he let free, many others being held back. His blond hair messed up and sweaty probably from how worked up we both were getting.

"You are going to have to." I said wiping the tears from my cheeks and eyes.
