Chapter 1

New Life

I opened my eyes to a beautiful Sunday morning, I was happy. I have the perfect boyfriend, he was sweet and caring, he made me laugh when no one else can. I have parents that support me to no end and siblings that annoy me until the crack of dawn. Finally, I can say that I am happy. I smiled as I got up from my queen sized bed.

I made my way to the kitchen, living alone has its perks, I only cook for one. I made myself a light breakfast and put on my jogging pants and sports bra and went for my morning run.

I was full of sweat as I went inside my apartment.

"You look hot" I was greeted by my blue eyed boyfriend sitting so casually on my living room, clearly I lost track of time, again.

"You look hot yourself" I said checking him out. He was in his usual way of dressing, black suit and pants, together with his black leather shoes. His blonde hair was slightly disheveled and his body was still the same, you know, lean but not muscular. "I lost track of time again, didn't I?"

"Yes, yes you did but you can make it up to me." A hint of mischief in his eyes. He walked in my direction and I backed away, I didn't care if he was my boyfriend, I stink of sweat!

"Maybe I should shower first" I told him and walked towards the bathroom and locked it before he could protest.

After a short shower, seeing as I'm already late, I went to my bedroom and got dressed. I settled for my sky blue sundress. I tied my hair in a pony tail and put on some mascara and some eye shadow for my dark brown eyes.

"Babe, you ready?" He called out from the living room.

"Yeah, be right there" I went out of my room and walked towards him, he was reading a newspaper from the coffee table. "What are you reading?" I asked as I sat on his lap and kissed him, there goes my lipstick.

"We should go." he ended the kiss all too sudden but I paid no attention to it, maybe he just has a problem. We went out for lunch to my favorite bistro and savoured the sweet smell of pasta and chicken. We sat at a table for two and his next words had me hate one of my favorite spots in the world.

"Babe, we need to talk."

I looked up at him from my menu and put on a curious face "What's up?"

"I have something to tell you." He sounded scared and nervous.

"Okay then, what is it?" My curiosity was peeked. Is he going to break up with me? Oh no!

"I'm moving." And just like that, my appetite was gone. You know in movies where time seems to slow down and everything you worked hard for crumbled to the ground? Well, that was what I was feeling at the moment.

"Moving where?" He's leaving me? Tears were starting to form in my eyes but I refused to let them fall.

"I'm moving to Europe." He said with a sad smile on his face but I can see it his eyes that he's happy. He wants to leave. Am I not a good enough reason for him to stay?

"Why?" He's really leaving me. I feel like every single bit of my happiness faded away and I'm afraid I can't bring it back. Just when I thought I had it all.

"The company I'm working for opened a new branch in Europe and they wanted me to manage it." He said slowly, waiting for me to react. The truth is, I didn't know how to react. Do I scream at him? Should I throw something at him?

"Er-" I was speechless, I didn't know what to say, how to respond. I am not used to guys breaking up with me, usually, its the other way around.

"Babe, talk to me." He looked so sincere and sorry and there it was, pity. I hate being looked at like I'm one pitiful human being. I'm supposed to be happy remember? I woke up happy and now, I don't know what I am. Sad? Depressed? Angry?
