Julie's P.O.V:

"Julie, wake up. Sunshine?" I hear someone say as they softly shake me. I groan and stuff my face into my pillow.

He chuckles. "Come on, I have a surprise for you."

"Go away." I mumble and pull my blanket up higher. I feel something lick my face and I sit up.

"Did you just li-" I stop when I see lucky.

"LUCKY!" I hug my dog and he wags his tail.

"Finally! Stupid day care took you for a whole day!" He licks my cheek and I look up at Zach. I grin at him and he smirks.

"Morning beautiful." He says, he kisses my forehead and walks out of my room.

"Oh, that wasn't our surprise. I'm taking you somewhere. You can bring lucky." He says and then leaves. I look back at lucky and furrow his fur.

"I'm glad your back boy." I say and he barks. I take a shower, brush my teeth and get ready. I put on some white ripped jeans and a blue tube top. I put on some gold accessories and a white bow on the side of my hair. My wavy brown hair falls over my shoulders and I slip on a pair of Blue converse. I walk into the kitchen and smell bacon. YUMMY!!! I rush in and grab some off the plate.

"Hey, you're supposed to eat th-" Zach stops when he turns around and looks me up and down. This is a violation of my personal bubble. I put my hand on my hip and raise my eyebrow. His eyes reach mine and he smirks. His cheeks grow red and I smile.

"You look great." He says quickly and looks at the plate of bacon. I giggle and take a seat. Zach places a plate of bacon, eggs and 2 pancakes In front of me with a cup of orange juice. Classic breakfast. I thank him and stuff myself with the food her made. When I'm done he chuckles.

"Who knew someone your size could eat so much." He says raising an eyebrow. I grin and shrug.

"I'm driving." I say excitedly.

"Sure, you can drive us to the place we are going to. Wait, you don't know where we are going yet!" He says sarcastically. I frown.

"Awwww! But my car!" I pout and he takes my hand. He laces our fingers and leads me to his car.

"You'll be able to use it another day, sorry princess." He says and opens the passenger door for me. I frown and slip in. I pat my lap and lucky jumps on me. I smile and cuddle him as Zach walks over to the driver's seat.

"Ready?" He asks. I nod and turn on the radio.

Zach pulls into the parking lot of the mall. I smile and he hands me a credit card. I raise my eyebrow.

"Shopping spree." He says laughing. I jump out of the car and run to the entrance, lucky running behind me. I run to Aldo and but 6 pairs of boots and 3 pairs of shoes. I walk out and Zach pulls up with a big shopping cart.

"Where did you get that? Malls do not have shopping carts." I say. He shrugs and looks at the bag.

"There was just so many! I'm sorry. It's a lot I'll return some." I squeak.

He shakes his head and places the bags into the cart.

"Nope." I smile and hug him. I buy a bunch of clothes from Macy's, Aeropostale, Tilly's, JC Penny, Forever 21, and a bunch of other stores. I but some more shoes at Journey's and then we got to the food court to eat. After I'm done shopping I pick up lucky and we head to the car. Zach drives us home.

"We have to talk...." He whispers. I snap my head up to look at him. I nod and look at my feet. We have to talk? Has he not watched movies? Those words mean bad news. Ugh, way to ruin my shopping spirit Zach. I pout and he leads me up to his room after carrying my bags inside my room.

"I ummmm..... I have to leave tomorrow..." I stare at him.

"What?"

"It's business stuff......I have to leave for a while."

"How long?"

"A while."

"How long Zach?" I demand, tears welling up.

"Maybe a year." He says quietly. I gasp and start to walk away. He grabs my wrist and spins my around. The tears flow. He hugs tightly.

"My dad says I have to go to Chicago and help start up a new building. I have to add furniture to the whole building and focus all my time on building up the bus was there. It will take a year, maybe more. I leave tomorrow. Im sorry. I will be back though." He says softly. Anger rises up in me.

"And you just took me shopping and then decided to tell me this? Maybe to lessen the blow? Go to hell Zach." He flinches and I wrench out of his grasp. I storm off to my room and lock the door after I slam it. I slide down the door to the floor and sob into my hands. I knew dating a rich guy would be hard. I knew he would work a lot and that I probably shouldn't let myself fall in love, but he's leaving. For a minimum of 1 year. I rack with tears and scream. There's a soft knock on my door.

"Julie." He pleads. I sniffle and try to contain my cries. No use. I shake furiously as I cry.

"Julie, please. I hate hearing you cry." He says quietly. I walk, grab a tissue from my table and blow my nose. Ugh. I hate crying. I hear lucky scratching at the door to get in, but Zach is there. I continue to cry until I drift off to sleep on the floor next to my bed. A while later I hear a key turing the door creaks open and I jolt awake.

"NO!" I shout at Zach. He flinches but continues to walk to me. "No, no, no! Go away!" I scream at him he pulls me close to him and I punch his chest multiple times. He lets me hit him and slowly my punches get weaker.

"No." I break down and cry. He hugs me tightly and I sob into his chest.

"Why?" I whisper.

"I don't want to go Julie. I want to take you with me, but I can't. Will you wait for me?" I think about this. One year. Maybe more. At this age all I want is to have a family. I don't want to wait.

"I-i don't know." I whisper, my heart breaking. I hear Zach cry softly and I look up at him.

"Don't wait." He says through gritted teeth. "I love you, I want you to move on and find someone who can give you more than I will ever be able to." He says, tears streaming down his face.

"Goodbye Julie." He says quietly.

My heart lunges. My pace quickens. I feel like someone just choked the life out of me.

"Zach." I croak out. He shakes his head and hugs me.

"You deserve so much more." He cries. I cling to him.

"No no! I'll wait! I love you! I'll wait! Please Zach. I promise! I'll wait for you!" I sob. He shakes his head. He cups my cheek and kisses me.

"Goodbye." He whispers and get sup. I cry and cling to him. He lays me on the bed and takes my hands. He kissed my forehead.

"I...... Will always love you." He says and kisses me. I sob loudly and he runs out. I try to run after him but my legs weaken and I fall down.

"Zach!" I cry out. No answer. I cry and cry.

This can't be happening. No. Please. Come back. I need you. I want you. I will wait for you. No matter what, I will always love you.
