Isla's POV
~~~~

Tonight when Daniel came for dinner, I really wanted to impress him. I guess you could say I would flaunt what he couldn't have.

Or, it seems like what he didn't want. The irritating voice in the back of my mind said.

Over the years he has been gone, I fully immersed myself in my school and work. I never had time to go on dates and try to get over him. To be honest, I am not sure if I want to yet.

I hope you know that you have no chance.

The feelings we shared seemed so genuine and bonafide. I never would have thought he would be the one who let me go. I didn't believe he would get over me and break his promise.

~~~

It was the day Daniel was leaving for college. Everyone in our little group took the day off of school and were throwing him a little farewell get together.

"Is everything set up?" I asked Jenna and Trevor.

Both of them nod their heads, but Trevor confirmed it. "Snacks out, check. Cake in fridge with candles already in there, check. Small gifts, check. Decorations, check," His voice dripped with sarcasm.

Trevor was kind of geeky, yet still hilarious. He was the joker of our group that held us together like glue. Trevor was incredibly smart and talented also. His brown hair was cut short and his brown eyes were mesmerizing pools of chocolate.

Sarcasm was one of his many talents.

"How long have you had that memorized?" Jenna snorts and I start laughing.

"Nice one,"

"Well actually I have had that memorized ever since you threatened me that if anything, went wrong you would kick me in the balls so hard I would never disrespect any woman ever again."

Jenna gasps and I just snigger. "I was kidding," I muse even though I was far from kidding. This was Daniel's last hooray and I was determined to make it perfect. Even if my heart would never be the same.

"I'm sure you were Isla," A familiar voice calls from the hallway.

Me and Jenna screech "DANIEL!" And bear hug him. Meanwhile Trevor just stands on the sideline waiting for his turn. Daniel reciprocates our ferocity and hugs us back with just as much strength. I didn't care that I could barely breathe.

"You might want to let them go soon Daniel. I think Isla's face is turning blue." As if Daniel woke up from a dream, he immediately lets go. That causes Jenna to fall on her butt.

"If that didn't look so ridiculous, I would be helping you," Trevor retorts while Daniel grabs Jenna's hand.

"Well, look who dipped her face in a bowl of fruit punch?" Jenna's face was bright with embarrassment.

She just punches me and we get the party started.

<3

When the party was over, and each one of us had gotten a hug from Daniel, Jenna and Trevor went home.

"Wait a second Isla, I have something to give you." He grabs my arm and tugs gently towards my room.

"Anything Daniel," He looks down at me with pain and admiration in his eyes.

We both sit down on my bed and he turns to me. From his jacket he pulls a small ring box. I gasp loudly.

"Don't get your hopes up too fast, princess. I don't think any one of us is ready for marriage." I giggle in response.
