"Jace, we need to talk." Alison says, looking up at him as he approaches.

Jace raises an eyebrow, looking back at her. "Okay. About what?" He asks curiously, pulling her aside.

Alison studies his deep brown eyes, filled with curiosity in that moment. "I think we need to break up. We both have different plans for the future. You want to go to Stanford, and I want to go to NYU. Complete opposite sides of the country."

"Are you sure?" Jace answers carefully, already starting to agree with her.

"Yes. I'm sure. You know how it goes. Long distance relationships never work." She says softly.

Jace pulls her into a tight hug. "I know." He murmurs, kissing the top of her head. "They never work out."

"I'm really going to miss you." Ali whispers, her voice muffled in his shoulder. "I love you, Jace Spencer Roust."

"And I love you, Alison Lynn Keller." Jace replies.

She looks up at him, a sad smile on her face. He leans down, kissing her gently before pulling back.

"Goodbye, Jace."

"Goodbye, Alison."

And with that, the two parted, going their separate ways.
