Gus picked me up after he got off work and we headed over to Colton's house to pick up the rest of my stuff and Gus says once again " You don't have to go in I'll get it." I roll my eyes "Gus for the thousands time I want to go in I need to talk to him." Gus glances at me then back to the road he's hesitant but he drops it.

We pull into Colton's drive way and James isn't home it makes me wonder if Colton is. I get out of the car looking over the top at Gus giving him a smile then closing the car door and heading up the walk way to towards the front door. Gus steps up behind me as my finger tip leaves the door bell, he sets his hand on my back comforting me. I smile at him over my shoulder then look back at the door, I assume no ones home and go to get the extra key from under the door matt when the front door flies open causing me to jump up. Colton stands in the door way no shirt on and all sweaty, "uh.. hi" I say standing straight and stepping back beside Gus "uh hey.. sorry I was working out had head phones in wasn't quite sure if some one had knocked." Colton says.

I clear my throat looking in his eyes avoiding the sweat rolling down his body, he hit you remember? you like Luke now.., "uh yah I'm here to get the rest of my stuff." his eyes fill with sorrow but its hidden fast as he steps aside welcoming us in" oh yah of course.." he says as we step inside.

30 minutes later Gus loads the last box into the trunk of the car closing it and I turn to Colton, " well I'm off..." he nods looking down scratching the back of his neck nervously. "I'm gonna miss having you around.." Colton says looking up tears in his eyes making my heart break, god this is harder then I wanted it to be, he continues taking my hand in his "look Alex I know I messed up I let go of the one good thing in my life, I hurt you and I wasn't nice I took so much out on you, I realize this now and I know its too late now but.. I'm sorry for everything but know I do love you, and I'm so happy for our time together I wish it was longer but I'm happy I still got it, got to know you. I'm so happy you never went through with those thoughts in you're head because I would have never met you I wouldn't have ever known what real love was... just thank you Alex and I'm... I'm so sorry." a couple tears escape his eyes and I throw my arms around his shoulders as tears stream down my face "Colton its never to late to be sorry and its ok, okay? I forgive you and you showed me love to and I thank you for all the good time, just.." I pull away looking in his eyes, " just don't beat you're self up to much ok? be happy its all I want for you."

"goodbye Alex...." he says choking on the words and the tears fall harder on me as I whisper, " goodbye Colton.." and get in the car driving away from the same infinite he gave me.

And in this moment that I realize every love last forever, forever is the moments within and everything in between, forever doesn't always mean what its suppose to be...

Jess messages me saying we need to have an girls night that it's been too long so I grab some clothes from the back and ask Gus to drop me off.

Jess's mom welcomes me in telling the girls are in the back I thank her then head to Jess's room. I tap once on the door with the back of my knuckle then walk in, Kasy's laying flat on her stomach with arms out stretched in front of her, nail polish glisters on her nails and the smell fills the room. She looks up at me smiling then says "ALEX!! I've missed you!!" I laugh as she struggles to sit upward on the bed and tries to hug me with out smudging the fresh paint on her nails, I hug her back and say, " I've miss you to, its been too long." "Yes is has." says Jess walking into the room from her attached bathroom. I smile at her and embracing her in a hug.
