Colleen POV
I ripped the envelope open, I had been anxiously awaiting this letter for weeks. I was nervous and excited at what the letter might say. I read it silently then rushed in the house to tell Dad.
Colleen- Dad! Dad! where are you?
Brandon- what is it?
Colleen- the letter came.. I got in
Brandon- you did.. that's amazing
Colleen- I can't believe I'm going to Julliard this fall
Brandon- I'm so proud of you.. your mom would be proud of you too
Colleen- you know.. maybe I shouldn't go
Brandon- what? you have to go.. you got a full scholarship
Colleen- its just so far away from here and.. I don't wanna leave you here by yourself Dad..
Brandon- I'll be fine.. you don't have to worry about me
Colleen- I don't think I can do this without you..
Tears came to my eyes, Dad came over and wrapped me in a hug.
Brandon- honey.. you remember your first day of school
I nodded.
Brandon- you were so excited.. you slept in your clothes the night before, but when I went to drop you off at the classroom.. you didn't want to leave me. You cried and screamed and clung to me, but I made you go in.. I watched you take a deep breath and walk in the classroom.
Colleen- I remember..
Brandon- Colleen, this is the same thing.. just take a breath and start walking
Brandon POV
I headed out of work, I had dropped Colleen off at college a few days ago and life without her felt pretty empty.
Molly- uh.. Excuse me.. Mr. Foster
Brandon- I'm sorry, have we met?
Molly- uh.. no not officially, I'm Molly Wells
Brandon- uh.. Brandon Foster
We shook hands.
Molly- I just wanted to say I loved your song, what was it called..
Brandon- Outlaws..
Molly- right, you deserved to win that award.. its an amazing song
Brandon- well I had amazing inspiration for it
Molly- um.. do you.. would you want to go get a coffee with me?
Brandon- uh.. sure, that would be great
I loved Callie, I loved her more than anything. The pain I feel from losing her can never truly go away, I will miss her forever. I can never completely let go of the ache in my heart, because by letting go of that, I let go of her. But I have learned to live again and I still feel Callie around me all the time. I still see her in Colleen's eyes and feel her every time the sun shines on my face. Me and Callie's love will never go away, it lives on.
