Shane's POV

I rub my sweaty palms against my jeans. This is going to be the hardest thing I'll ever have to do. But I know it's for the best. I impatiently tap my foot on the floor as I sit on the couch at Lisa's apartment. I moved out a little while ago, about the time I got home from filming my movie Not Cool. We both knew that our relationship wasn't exactly going too well and that we had to do something to try and fix it.

We were constantly arguing about almost everything. Stupid things and serious things. Sometimes I feel like we just fought for the hell of it because that's what we were starting to get used to.

So Lisa and I decided that I should move out into my own apartment. We have been casually seeing each other since, but we've been growing apart recently. Well at least I feel like we have. I'm assuming she feels the same way. We haven't seen each other in about a week. We haven't had sex in quite a while. When we kiss, it's usually just a short peck. And the worst part is that we are trying so damn hard to hold on. Honestly, we probably should've broken up when I moved out. We just didn't want to let go. And I still don't, but I have to. For our own good.

My heart starts to beat rapidly when I hear the front door start to unlock. I've never been more nervous in my life.

The door opens to reveal a very tired looking Lisa. She shuts the door behind her. When she looks up she smiles at me. "Oh hey! I didn't know you were coming over today."

She puts her purse down and walks over to the couch, taking a seat beside me. She snakes her arm around my neck and leans in to kiss me. I kiss her back lovingly. It saddens me that this might be the last kiss we share. I hold her close to me, not breaking the kiss. I never want to let go of her. I don't want to see the look of disappointment and sorrow when I tell her how I feel.

She pulls away and smirks at me, "Somebody is eager today."

I give her the best fake smile I can muster before nodding. She grins and reattaches our lips in a sweet and slow moving kiss. "I love you so much," I say against her lips.

Lisa pulls away and gives me a look I can't quite determine. She then puts her hand on my cheek and kisses my nose. "I love you," she whispers. It feels as if someone stomped on my heart with a steel toe boot as hard as they could.

I cup her face in my hands. I just look at her for a minute, taking in her beautiful features. "Lisa. I think we need to talk," my voice cracks at the last part.

She nods in agreement. She gives me a knowing look and starts to tear up. "I-I agree."

Lisa puts her hands on top of my hands, which are still cupping her face. We look at each other for several moments. Tears now streaming down both of our faces. Lisa launches towards me and buries her head in my chest. I move my hand to the back of her head and message it. "Sweetie, shhh it's okay. I know this is hard," I say quietly and as gently as I can. I stop crying so Lisa will hopefully calm down.

She looks up at me. It takes all that I can not to break down in tears at the look on her precious face. I never wanted to make her feel this way.

"I knew that one of us was going to have to bring it up. But now that it's happening it feels so unreal," she whimpers, "We were supposed to end up together. What happened to us, Shane?" And there goes my heart.

I put a strand of her hair behind her ear and out of her face. "Sometimes things don't work out. Maybe this is a sign. Maybe we are meant to be in each other's lives in a different way. I think that we're soulmates, Lisa. I guess just not in a romantic way. You're my rock. You're one of the only people that I fully trust. You're meant to be my best friend forever. I love you so fucking much."

A small smile spreads across her lips. She hugs me tighter. "I love you so fucking much, too."

My eyes scan her face before they land on her lips. Lisa pulls my face down to hers and into a sweet kiss. I kiss back instantly.

As things slowly start to become more and more heated, I pull away slightly. Lisa shakes her head, "Don't stop. I need to do this one last time."

I nod and start to pull her shirt over her head. We take off each piece of our clothing so that we are both now completely naked. I carry her into her bedroom and carefully place her on the bed.

As we make love, neither one of us seem to care  that this is the last time we'll be doing this. We're so in the moment that that doesn't even matter. Other than our first time, this is probably the most passionate sex we've ever had.

She was my first, but sadly she won't be my last.
