Riley's POV:
I sigh as I wake up to my alarm on my 24th birthday. I know I'm still young but I feel so old - it's nearly been 5 years since the next step won internationals... Nearly 5 years since I spoke to A-troupe... Nearly 5 years since I spoke to James... I snap out of my thoughts as my sister, Emily walks into my room with an envelope in her hand.
'Happy birthday, Ri.' She says as she hands me the envelope. I open it to reveal a beautiful hand made card with a '24' written in silver glitter on the front. As I open the card, some paper falls out onto my lap. I pick it up and realise what Emily's done.
'Omg Em! Concert tickets? You shouldn't have!' I say.

'Thank you.' I say as she walks out of my room.

Walking into the living room, I sit down on my decaying couch and turn on the tiny Tv. This is all the furniture I have in my living room thanks to that bitch and her divorce settlement. Just thinking about her boils my blood. I don't why I even married her - I guess because I'd already lost the love of my live...

James POV:
I wake up in my luxurious hotel room, stretching across the king size water bed. As I stretch, my mind falls to Riley. I wonder how she is, what she's doing, if she's married... If she remembers me.... I have everything a guy could want: nice house, sports cars, money, I'm in the biggest boy band in the world but there's still one thing missing and it's her. I know I should've gotten over her by now, but I just can't. She was the one and I let her go...
