~Shelby's POV~

2 years later..

It's been two years since I left Justin. I felt guilty and broken ever since. His album, Journals, came out and I knew I was the reason behind it. It broke my heart to hear and see him in so much pain. No one knows how bad I wanted to go see him...to hug him again...to tell him I love him. We haven't talked, not once. I had received phone calls, texts, tweets from Justin, but I ignored them all. It was hard... but I managed to do it.I eventually got a new number, so Jacob, who is still on the loose, or Justin doesn't know it. I look at Justin's tweets and he looks at mine. I know because he favorites all of them.

I had to get away from Atlanta. There were too many memories of my birthday party, and of Justin. So I moved to Illinois, and started going to college. I live in an apartment that is walking distance from the college. I had taught myself how to ride a skateboard to get to the college and back home. With the money I have now, there is no way I could pay for a car on top of the rent and, when I feel like it,  food.  

I met a new friend at college, his name is James. He is like a big brother to me now. I trust him more than anyone at the moment along with Kierstin, as always. She had come down when I told her all that happened. We went shopping and she helped me move in to get my mind off of things. But when she had gone back, I had slipped into deep depression.

James had found me almost bleeding to death in my bathroom. He promised me he would always be at my side ever since. He knows everything that has happened with Justin and Jacob. It's nice to have someone beside me again. 

But still, without Justin, I feel as if a part of me is gone. I'm not me. It was like I left a huge part of me with him. To be honest, I'm loosing faith of me and Justin ever finding each other again. I just don't see it happening consider how busy he is and with me going to college now... 

~Justin's POV~

I'm finally on break. I haven't been myself ever since Shelby left. I miss her so damn much. I had release my full Journals album and I'm proud of it too. It 's different from the rest of my albums and my fans are going crazy about it.

Shelby. Every time I hear her name it's almost as if there is still a spark of hope, that maybe I will see her again. When I tried to call her it said that the number had been disconnected. I was heart broken that she changed it and didn't tell me. I know I am one who gave her the idea of changing her number but that was when I knew I was gonna have it. I tried direct messaging her over twitter but she reads them but never replies.

I wish I could see her just once. I would do anything to see her face again. I have been so distracted lately, I don't even know my schedule as well as I used to.

I talked to Scooter and explained to him how much I needed to take this year off. I'm wanting to go to college. I've always wanted to go, so maybe this year would be different. I asked him and he didn't think it was a good idea. But he said, maybe if I go to a small college then it wouldn't be too bad. So I'm going to Illinois. I don't know which college though. I am packing my things right now. I hope that people will treat me as I am a normal person. It would take some getting used to, but they will adjust. I leave in a couple days, so I have time to pack.

I just hope and pray I will find Shelby again...
