Connor twisted and turned restlessly in his bed. His mind swirling with random thoughts as he slept. He slowly drifted off to dreamland.

2 years later...
"What are you doing here?" Jude asked walking out of class to see Connor. Connor tossed his arm across Jude's shoulders.
Connor and Jude were both twenty years old and sophomores in college. They started to head back to there apartment through the cold October air.
"Do I need a reason to come see my Judicorn?"
"Forgot your key again?"
"Yes." Connor admitted.
"I swear I'm gonna glue that thing to your head."
"I promise this is the last time."
"You said that last time."
"Well what else do you want from me?"
"Dinner." Jude said. "I want pizza."
"We had pizza last night."
"I know, but you and I don't cook and there's not a lot of food places around so..."
"Fine then, but tomorrow I'm making dinner for you."
"And I'll have the fire department on speed dial." Jude smiled.
"Very funny." Connor rolled his eyes.
~~~
"We gotta talk." Connor said sitting down on the couch next to Jude.
"About..."
"The coach arranged for the team-" Connor was cut off by Jude's phone. Jude looked down at his phone.
"I gotta take this." Jude got up and answered the phone walking to their bedroom.
Connor sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. He figured he'd at least call the pizza place while he wait.
He finished the phone call and Jude came back.
"Who was that?" Connor asked.
"Mariana. She wanted to know when I was coming to visit her. Anyways what did you wanna tell me?"
"Coach wants the baseball team to go to Europe for a year." Jude's eyes widen.
"What?"
"I'm going to Europe."
"But what about school?" Jude asked.
"I'm gonna take classes over there."
"When do you leave?"
"In two days."
"So that's it?" Jude started out fast."In two days you're leaving for a year, then what? You're gonna come back and tell me everything 'Jude' you saw and did, then everything is suppose to go back 'Jude' to how it was now. Or we'll realize that the whole long 'Jude' relationship thing isn't going to work and 'Jude' we break up. Then you're off dating 'Jude' someone else and I'm being-"
"I WANNA BREAK UP!" Connor yelled finally getting Jude's attention.
"You do?" Jude eyes started to glisten with tears and his voice cracked.
"No. I just said that to get your attention." Connor scooted closer to Jude on the couch then wrapped his arms around him. "We'll make it through this like we always do."
