*KATS POV*

'Stuck In The Moment' By Justin Bieber blared through the speaker. What a perfect song for this moment.

I sat with my hands in my lap, staring down at my purple dress with tears in my eyes that I was trying so desperately to blink back.

I knew what I had to do, I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I was just picturing Madison getting hurt over and over again. My heart was telling me this was the worst decision I would ever make in my life. But my brain, it knew better. It knew that I had to do this, I had to let him be happy.

"Madison?" I looked at my boyfriend, still managing to blink back fresh tears. "Could we dance?" He nodded, absolutely unaware that this would be our last dance together.

"There's something I have to tell you Madison." I looked up at him and immediately felt guilt. I couldn't do this to him, not when he was so happy. But I had to, or else it would kill me.

"Listen, we both know that we leave tomorrow after finals. You go back to Jersey, and me to Los Angeles with Lauren. We will be across the country from each other, with no way to contact except for on the phone. I cant do this to you, I cant hold you back. Madison, these past few days were beyond perfect, but that's just the thing. This was just a fling, and I cant see you get hurt, I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I broke your heart" I couldn't tell him how strong I felt about him, it would just hurt him more.

"What happened to never forgetting?" His voice cracked and I looked up at him. The sparkle in his eyes faded and was replaced with pure sadness and unshed tears.

"I think we need to forget." I whispered to him and leaned my head back on his shoulder.

"We can break up, we can move across the country, we can even never talk again. But no matter how hard we may try Kat, we will never forget what happened these past two weeks" He kissed the top of my head gently.

"I wish we could just live here forever. Just you and me, never having to worry about the distance keeping us apart. But Madison, you can't love me. You have to move on. Promise me that you will move on? For me?" I said and looked back at him again. He just nodded his head and pulled me closer to him.

"Can we have one last dance?" He asked as a familiar but unknown song came through the speakers. I smiled sadly and nodded.

The both of held on to each other like it was a life or death situation. But I guess it was, because our hearts were breaking slowly as we swayed to our last song.

The song faded out as a dance song came on, and the both of us knew it was time to let go. I pulled him off the dance floor and into the practice room with the grand piano.

It was the place where it all started and it was the place where everything was going to end.

I pressed my fingers upon the keys, reliving every moment I shared with him. I felt my whole body heat up with love and admiration as I pictured the first kissed we shared, as if it was happening all over again. I heard the faint music as I remembered the two of us singing together. I saw the look of happiness on his face when I told him that I was in love with him. Lastly, I saw how proud he was when I told him about Lauren and I signing with Scooter Braun.

Every kiss we shared replayed in my head, like the end of a Romantic Nicholas Sparks movie where the good guy finally got the right girl. I knew he was the good guy, but I wasn't too sure that I was the right girl. Every fiber of my being was reaching out for him, wanting his strong, protective arms around me and his warm, delicate lips on mine.

I looked up to see that he had been studying me, watching my every move to see if I would break and fall back into him. But I couldn't let him see my pain and heartbreak, I couldn't let him watch me fall apart at the seams because I was letting our love die.

"So, I guess this is the end" I stared at nothing, afraid to make eye contact with the boy who once gave me such immense joy.

"Yeah, I guess so" I could hear in his voice the sadness that he was trying to keep inside himself. I kicked off my heels and ran to him, over lapping my lips with his and jumping up to wrap my legs around his torso.

I kissed him with every ounce of energy left in my body, as my heart and head fought for dominance of whether to hold on or let go forever. I ran my hands through his hair as his hands pushed me as close as possible to him. All of our raw emotion, anger, hurt, sadness, pain, was expressed as we kissed each other eagerly and hungrily, knowing that it would be our last.

I felt the outside world drift away from us, like it felt every time I pressed his lips upon mine. It was just me and him, our bodies molding into each other and every moment seemed to perfect to be true. We were miles away from the drama, anger and violence. It was me and him, and I wished it could stay perfectly that way for the rest of time, but I sadly knew it couldn't.

I used my last bit of self-control and pulled my lips from his, separating our entangled bodies and blinking back newfound tears.

"Goodbye Madison" I pressed my lips to his once more.

"Goodbye Kat" He stated and we both walked out the door.

We went our separate ways and once I rounded the corner I fell to the ground and sobbed.

I will never forget.

Okay, so the song on the side is the song that was playing during the last dance Kat and Madison shared.

I made Candace cry reading this chapter to her, so it might be a tear-jerker and I am sorry about that!

BUT KEEP READING BECAUSE YOU WILL BE HAPPY WITH THE END OKAY.

I love you all! Comment  and vote!
