A/N: Hi lovelies! It's been awhile, but here I is, lol. This chapter shows what happened to Preston and Kayla after they got engaged. It's interesting, VERY interesting.

Don't forget to leave me comments (inline and then overall comments work best for me to get a feel of what you guys think). I love you guys! See you at the end. It's a wild ride.

When you're dreaming with a broken heart
The waking up is the hardest part
You roll outta bed and down on your knees
And for a moment you can hardly breathe
Wondering, "Was she really here?
Is she standing in my room?"
No she's not, 'cause she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone....

When you're dreaming with a broken heart
The giving up is the hardest part
She takes you in with her crying eyes
Then all at once you have to say goodbye
Wondering, "Could you stay my love?
Will you wake up by my side?"
No she can't, 'cause she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone....

Now do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?
Do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?
Do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?
Do I have to fall asleep with roses in my, roses in my hand?
would you get them if I did?
No you won't, 'cause you're gone, gone, gone, gone, gone....

When you're dreaming with a broken heart
The waking up is the hardest part

Seven Years Later

"Tonight, Olympic competitor, Preston Knight, is under arrest after a motorcycle accident. He was arrested after failing a breathalyzer test and is being held in the Los Angeles county jail on a thirty thousand dollar bond. More details will be available on our website."

"Hey! Don't I get a phone call or some shit!" Preston shouted as he kicked the bars behind the cell he was being held in.

"Shut up, rich boy! Your lawyer's already here!" The officer shouted back. Preston groaned and waited for the officer to unlock the cell. He was escorted down the hall toward booking, and twenty minutes later, he was all but shoved out of the jail.

"Where's Tom?" Preston mumbled to himself as he looked around.

"Your mom fired him, he was lousy. Hopefully, I'm better," someone responded. Preston knew that voice, he just didn't remember who it belonged to. He was still partially drunk.

"Wh-who is it?!" He shouted as the last person on earth he expected to see emerged from the shadow where she leaned against her car.

"Surely you remember your high school sweetheart. I have to say, I didn't see this day coming," Kayla replied as she stretched her hand toward Preston. It took him a minute, but when he realized what was happening, he got happy. Then he got angry.

"Why you? Don't you have somewhere to run off to?" Frowned Preston. Kayla winced and pulled her hand back.

"Pres, we don't have to talk about—"
