After Kelly realized what she had done, she quickly pulled away from Lance. "I can't do this." She said as she placed her hand up to her mouth. She just looked at him and shook her head.

Lance could see the hurt in her eyes. "I'm sorry."

Kelly just shook her head. "No, it was my fault. I should have never let myself get that close again."

"I'm really sorry-- about all of this. You not being able to trust me is all my fault. What can I do to fix it? I'll do anything for you to trust me again--" Lance pleaded with her.

"You can't fix it. Right now, you just can't," she told him flat out. Kelly wasn't sure if she'd ever be able to trust him fully again.

"Are you saying it's over?" Lance asked her. The pain of losing her again was not a feeling he wanted to revisit.

"What I'm saying is we need space. You finish your tour and I'm going to finish school up for the year. In the next 2 months we'll think about what we want. Maybe we'll be ok or maybe we won't. Like I said before, I'm moving to Florida in a month-- and maybe that will be good for us, and maybe it won't. Right now I don't know what's going to happen. I'm too hurt right now. You ripped my heart out. I swore to myself that I wouldn't let anyone do that to me again!" She explained to him. "And I did--I let myself get lost in you. I lost who I am and I need to find me again. I have to do that before I can decided what to do about us."

Lance understood what she was telling him. He never wanted to be the one person to hurt her. He swore to her that she could always count on him not to. "I understand. I really do."

Kelly just nodded. "And if you happen to meet someone new--"

Lance interrupted her. "I won't. This whole mess has taught me something very important."

"What's that?" Kelly asked.

"It's taught me that I love you. It's made me realize that you're the one for me," Lance finally admitted to her. "You're it for me. So I'll do what you ask, I'll give you time. I just want you to know that if you do want to be with me again that I won't do it again. Never." Kelly just nodded at him. Her eyes locked with his as he neared the door. "I do love you." Lance told her as he left her dorm room.

"I love you, too--" Kelly whispered through her tears. Lance had left his hat behind. She went over and picked it up and brought it up to her face. This would be the only thing, besides the photograph, that she had of him.

Justin, Chris, Joey and JC entered the bus. They usually took different buses, but this time they didn't. "Where's Lance?" Justin asked as he took a seat on the sofa.

"I'm here--" Lance replied as he walked onto the bus.

"It's about time. We're running late," JC grumbled.

Justin looked over at JC on the sofa. "What's with you? Bad night?"

JC shook his head as he stretched out on the sofa. "No. I just-- well, I tried to call Leah and she wasn't out."

Joey walked into the room. "And what? You're upset with her?"

JC looked at him and shook his head. "Of course not. She has the right to have a life and have fun. It's just that I haven't talked to her in awhile. I've talked to her machine more than her lately, and I--"

Lance sat in a chair across from JC. "Whatever you do-- make sure she knows how you feel. Don't let her slip out of your fingers, leaving you feeling helpless and empty." Lance muttered.

"You all right, man?" Justin asked. He knew these next two months were going to be hard on Lance.

"I'll survive. I mean, it's just two months, right?" Lance asked. 'Two months' he thought to himself. A lot could happen in two months, but he knew he had to be positive or it was just a lost cause.

"Yeah, two months--" JC repeated, almost to himself.

Kelly sat on her bed with a small box in front of her. She had been sitting there for the past hour and a half. She was so fixated at the box that she didn't even look up when Sarah walked in the room. "Kel?" Sarah repeated for the third time.

Kelly finally glanced up at her. "I'm sorry. I guess I spaced out."

Sarah kneeled down next to her. "What are you doing?" She asked softly. Sarah noticed Kelly holding the picture that Lance's Mom had given her.

"You know, I've been sitting here for almost two hours. Trying to pack up the things that remind me of Lance," Kelly muttered as she stared at the picture.

"But you can't, can you?" Sarah questioned. She knew her best friend was in love, but she also knew that her heart was in a million pieces.

"I don't know why, either. It's not like we were engaged or anything," Kelly chuckled. "But I love him so much that this is killing me."

"What did he say to you when he was here? Are you sure this girl wasn't to blame? Are you absolutely positive he betrayed you?" Sarah asked her.

Kelly quickly looked at her friend. "How can you ask me that? I know what I saw. I saw him kissing another girl! He had his hands on her-- I saw it!"

"I know you did. But maybe it wasn't as bad as you think it was. Maybe she kissed him," Sarah said to her. "I mean, I know he loves you. He told me so himself."

"I guess his love isn't enough for me. I need to be able to trust him, and I just can't right now. I can't be with him right now-- and maybe I never will be able to," Kelly whispered as she placed the picure frame of the two of them in the box. She put the cover on the box. "It's done. We're done."
