.........
No, this is not goodbye
I swear that I'm gonna change
No, baby, please don't cry
It doesn't have to end this way

Enrique had watched the love of his life walk out that door.

Liza had gathered her bag from the foyer, giving the room one final look over. Her eyes glistened with unshed tears. They had shared this space for the past two years and now...

in just a few short moments she would be gone with any trace that she had lived there as well.

Quen could feel his heart breaking as she slid into the driver's seat of her little car, her fingers mindlessly brushing through her hair as she pulled it back. Her tires chirped as she turned out of the drive way, and he knew wherever she was headed...she was speeding to get there and away from the past that dwelled in the home he now lived in alone.

Liza hands were tense around the wheel as her knuckles turned white; she was still fighting back those tears. Desperately she tried to think of anything but the pain coursing through her veins. Their last fight had been the one that shattered their already fragile love life.

The strain of Enrique's career- his constant traveling, the fans, the back-to-back albums...they had strained their relationship. But the one moment that changed it all was when he walked into their home smelling of booze and shame. He had been out late and the whiskey on his lips was unmistakable.

Liza had laid awake in their bed praying he was safe. Her calls and texts had gone unanswered. She had been worried to say the least, until she heard the front door slam and the unstable footsteps of her boyfriend. When she appeared at the top of the steps she could hear him slur out a 'hello'.

The furry filling her chest pushed her on. It was six hours until she reached her destination and she didn't plan to stop until she made it there.

The images of Quen sitting in a strip joint flashed in her mind, as her foot pressed harder against the accelerator.

.......
Cause when I think of all the nights I'll be alone
I get terrified
Please don't say goodbye
........

It's been a few hours since she began her drive and her eyes are fighting to shut. Liza's hand flies to face, sternly she begins to pat the sleep from her face.

"Come on...wake up.." she mumbles to herself as her hands begin to play with the dial on the radio. Within moments the device comes to life with angry static...fumbling she finally lands on a station playing music. The car began to fill with the opening notes of a sad song, and in that moment she realized the voice surrounding her was his. Quen's voice was haunting and sad, and in that moment she couldn't take it. Her voice cracked as she sang along.

...........
Cause girl, if you leave me now
If you give it up and just walk right out
You will take the biggest part of me
And all the things that I believe
Baby, if you leave me now (yeah)
..........

Liza swayed to the beat of his voice, remembering the feel of his arms around her and the warmth of his breath against her ear as he sang to her. Liza had never felt more numb inside then she did at that moment. Her heart was back in Manila, sitting in the hands of a boy whom she had loved since they were 13.

.............
When did we lose our way?
My whole world was unraveling
And girls driving me insane
There's no road worth traveling
