"Hey." I said.

"Hi. We need to talk, it's urgent." Nate said, calmly.

I pressed my phone into my ear whilst starting to worry. What would we have to talk about? I saw him yesterday and everything was fine. I had a strong feeling that whatever was about to be said wasn't going to be good.

"About?" I said, anxiously.

'"Can't discuss it over the phone. It wouldn't be right. See you at McFinley's in 10?" He said, with a hint of regret in his tone.

"Urm, okay." I said, as he hung up the phone.

McFinley's was a chip shop that was exactly in between mine and Nate's houses. It was where we always met up, and where we first met.

Atleast this way, if he says anything bad, we'll finish exactly where we started.

I got changed into denim shorts and a blue tank top. I slid on my converses and tied my hair up. I told my mother where I'd be and grabbed a jacket. After doing so, I walked out of the front door and started to walk down the road. I couldn't help but think Nate was going to dump me. Why else would he call me at 12 am and say we urgently needed to talk? After contemplating the decision with myself, I finally reached the small, old and battered up chip shop. It looked a state, but it was the best. I saw Nate through the window, he was sitting there playing with his hands. Something he always did when he was nervous or worried. He got his hand and ran it through his dirty blonde hair. I pushed open the chip shop door and walked over to the booth he was sitting in.

"Hey." He said, without making direct eye contact with me.

"Hi... What's up?" I asked, desperate to know why he had called me here.

"Well... I'm going to America." He told me, looking as if he'd just been told something shockingly disturbing.

That's it? I worried over nothing! He simply wanted to tell me he was going on holiday. Why did it take him so long and why does he look so worried about it?

"Oh! That's amazing!" I told him, whilst smiling. I was genuinely happy for him. He has wanted to visit the USA since I can remember.

"No... it's not. I..." He looked down as he put his head on the table. He quickly lifted his head up and looked me directly in the eyes. I did the same, and saw his deep blue orbs were full of pain.

"The thing is, I'm not going for a while. I-I'm going for two years, at the most." He told me, as he grabbed hold of my hands.

This wasn't good. We'd been together for 4 and a half years. This wasn't going to be easy. I tucked a strand of hair behind my ear as I felt my eyes filling with tears.

"Wh-What?! Why?!" I exclaimed.

"I have to! The band finally got a record deal." he said quietly.

Nate was lead singer in a infamous band. His band was called Undermimed. It was pretty amazing.

"Wait. When did you find this out?" I asked him.

"Today afternoon." he said.

I saw the pain and regret in his eyes. He really didn't want to go through with this, but when you have the opportunity to carry out two lifetime dreams, you do it.

I got up and walked to Nate and hugged him. He kissed me on the cheek as he told me the plane was leaving tomorrow.

"I'll see you before we leave." He told me as we were still in the middle of our hug.

"Ok." I said, calmly.

We finally broke up and as I walked home I remembered that Kai was in Undermimed too.
