Savy's POV

I can't believe that it's already been a year since the last time I saw Luke. I've been thinking about him a lot lately and I'm even thinking about moving up to Nashville to be with him. There's just to many memories in this apartment anymore. I couldn't tell you how many times over the past year I've just wanted to pack up my truck and drive up there. But something always told me to stay here and not go.

I've been talking to Jamie since she and Carter moved up there and she said there's a position open at the hospital she works at for a nurse in the ER. I had a phone interview with the director of the hospital and he gave me the job right away. I'm now officially an Emergency Room nurse at St. Luke's Hospital.

Go figure on the name right?

Jamie's been helping me find a place to live up there and she finally found a really cheap two bedroom apartment in the heart of downtown Nashville. Just based on the pictures she's sent me I'm already in love with it. All I have to do when I get there is sign my lease and get the keys from the landlord and the place is mine.

I quit my job and since then I've been packing up my apartment and I'm finally sending the majority of my stuff up there today. After the movers left I finished loading up my truck with all my clothes and stuff. When I only had one box left I took the keys off my car keys and set them on the kitchen counter.

I went and stood in the middle of the living room and looked around the whole apartment. I was instantly flooded with all the memories that Luke and I had here. From our first night here to the ice cream fight that ended up with Luke punching the wall with his elbow. Our first fight here and me throwing the vase of flowers at him. Then there's the one that hurts most of all. Having to stand here and watch Luke leave. That has to be the worst memory outta this whole place.

I took a deep breath and grabbed my purse off the box then picked up the box and put it on my hip before walking outta the apartment. I pulled the door closed then went downstairs and closed up my truck. I put the box on the seat next to me before starting my truck and heading up to Nashville.

Luke's POV

I can't believe it's already been a year since the last time I saw Savy. I miss her every day and still wanna just give up everything here and move back down to Georgia to be with her. But whenever I wanna do that I just read the letter she gave me when I left and it reminds me every time about why I'm up here.

I'm following my dream and this is just a step closer to me becoming that big country star I wanna be.

I keep the necklace I gave her in my truck and whenever I look at it it reminds me of her every time.

I've been writing a few songs for Captiol Records here in Nashville and some of them have gotten picked up by some really big artists. Travis Tritt picked up my song Honky Tonk History and Billy Currington picked up Good Directions. I still can't get over the fact that it happened and with such big name artists either.

I've even been writing some of my own stuff too but it's some stuff that I don't think I could ever record in a million years. The one I wrote is called I don't know if I can do that and it's basically a song I wrote about Savy.

I ended up writing it the first time I thought about going back down to Georgia. I had a million emotions running through my head back then and I ended up getting a good song out of it.

But like I said before it's one I don't think I'll ever be able to record.

One time when I was thinking about going up there I stopped myself and ended up going to a bar instead. Well I ended up having a drunken one night stand with the one person I never thought would walk into my life ever again.
