In the last chapter:

"Good morning everyone. Please take a seat and take all your books." Said the teacher. It's official. I am a university's student and this is the beginning of a long year that I hope will be a good one.

I hope so...

The last bell of the morning rang, causing me goose-bumps. The clock was showing that it was now noon; Ethan is supposed to come in a minute. I took all my books and greeted the teacher.

As I went downstairs ,I received a text from Ethan:

<I'm waiting outside:)>

I smiled and hurriedly got out of the school to find my lovely boyfriend sitting on a picnic table, waiting for her girlfriend to come join him. I slowly came towards him and whispered in his ear:

''Hi babe...''

I could see that he was smiling, I kissed him on the cheek and sat down in front of him. Even if it's been only 4 hours since I last saw him, I missed his hazel eyes matching with his curly brown hair.

''I missed you...'' He said with a small voice and a cute little smile.

''Missed you too.'' I answered. He took my little hand and said pointing me the food bag.

''I've brought food from your favourite fast food place. I knew you were going to ask me if we can eat in a place where they aren't a lot of people.''

It made me smile because he knew that I hate it so much when they're a lot of people around me, especially around us. I don't know, it feels as if every girl was looking at MY man. Jealous? Probably, but who knows what can happen when you have a handsome guy in front of you...

''Aww! Thank you...'' I said and gave him a kiss.

We scattered the plates on the table and began to eat. There weren't a lot of people here, two girls were eating on another picnic table and another couple, that I couldn't see were eating too. The weather was just perfect for October, not too cold and not too hot and the sun was out. It was as if we were in a movie or in a romance book. You know, where everything is perfect...

But just as I said that, someone caught my attention. It was as if I knew this person for years, but I didn't recognise him... It was a boy, sure, but who? I didn't know. Plus, he was walking with his friends so I could only see his back...

''Who are you looking at?'' Ethan asked and turned to search who it was.

''No... Nobody. I thought it was Julia for a moment...'' I lied continuing to check this mystery boy.

Ethan shrugged and continued to eat.

You should too Elena. Probably all the stress that I had this week that plays with my mind...

"I thought we can do something before I leave. What do you think about going to the movie theater?"

Ethan was going to leave this Saturday, so in exactly 3 days which made me really sad. I always thought that long distance relationships won't work and that there would be a lot of complications. And here I am, living it. Let's be honest, I'm really worried about our relationship. What can happen when we'll leave each other? Maybe he will find another girl? Maybe it will be too complicated?
