The search for strength to carry on
My every hope had seemed to die
My eyes had no more tears to cry
Then like the sun shined from up above
You surrounded me with your endless love
And all the things I couldn�t see
Are now so clear to me*~
He looked down at his girlfriend, who was sleeping peacefully in his arms with a tiny smile tugging at the corner of her lips. He smiled down at the sight she made. He brushed away a strand of blond hair and tucked it behind her ear. He stroked her cheek tenderly, silently thanking God for bringing her into his life. He had been through so much pain within the past few years, and she had been there every single step of the way.
He sighed to himself, remembering how she had been there, when his parents were getting divorced, when he was leaving for the club, and when he decided to head for Orlando to hit it big with his friends. She wasn�t just his best friend, but his soulmate, his rock. He just wished he had realized it sooner, than he did. He remembered how she was there, lending a shoulder for him to cry on, when he had lost his first love. She was there by his side, consoling him, telling him that he would be ok, that it�d be all over soon.
~Flashback~
�Becky� what did I do?� he asked, She sighed. �Justin, it�s not what you did, it�s what she did. She used you. It�s not like it matters anyhow. You were too good for her. I knew that from the beginning.� He looked at her, surprised. �Then why didn�t you say anything? Why didn�t you do something?� She shrugged. �I need to let you make your own mistakes. I�m not always gonna be here, ya know.� His face fell when he heard her words. He couldn�t imagine what his life would be like without her. She was always the one he could go to and talk to, or just hang out with. He looked up slowly. �Why do you say that? Are you planning on leaving anytime soon?� She looked away. �Actually, I am.�
She looked back at him. �I got into Oxford, Justin.� His mouth dropped open in shock. �Excuse me?! Did you say Oxford? As in England�s Oxford?!� She nodded. �It�s an amazing opportunity for me, you know that. I don�t know if I could pass something like this up.�
~*You are my everything
Nothing your love won�t bring
My life is yours alone
The only love I�ve ever known
Your spirit pulls me through
When nothing else will do
Every night I pray on bended knee
That you will always be
My everything*~
He gulped, trying to hide his disappointment. �I�m� ahem, I�m really happy for you, Beck. I�m sure you�ll do great over there.� She forced a smile. �Yeah, thanks.�
~At airport~
They sat in silence as they awaited her flight to be called over the intercom. He couldn�t believe she was really going through with it. He looked over at her and sighed to himself. �This was it.� He thought to himself. �She�s really going to leave me like this.� �Flight 623 departing from Orlando to New York now boarding.� She stood up. �That�s me.� He stood as well. �Yeah. I guess it is.� She looked down at the ground. �Am I really doing this?� She slung her bag over her shoulder and smiled. �I should get going now.� He nodded. �Yeah. You should. Call when you, ya know, get there, aight?� She nodded. �I will.� He pulled her to him and hugged her tightly. �Bye Becky.� She sighed. �Bye Justin.�
She turned around and bit her lip. �If he asks me to stay, then I will. Just ask Justin� please�� she said to herself. He looked away to keep from letting the tears slide as he watched his best friend walk out of his life. She felt a tear come down, as she realized he wasn�t going to say anything. She slowly walked through the terminal, when she heard something behind her.
~*Now all my hopes and dreams
Are suddenly reality
You�ve opened up my heart to feel
The kind of love that�s truly real
A guiding light that�ll never fade
There�s not a thing in life that I would ever trade
For the love you give and won�t let go
I hope you�ll always know*~
She looked and saw Justin struggling against the security guards who held him back as he called out to her. �BECKY! No! Wait! Please! Don�t go� don�t leave me�� She whimpered and ran back to him and threw her arms around him. �Oh, Justin� I didn�t want to go� I want to stay with you�� He pulled back and smiled tenderly before capturing her lips with his. Her eyes widened in surprise at the sudden contact, but instinctively closed, savoring the moment.
After a heart-stopping kiss she pulled away and sighed before hugging him tightly. �Do you have any idea how much I�ve wanted to do that?� he asked. She grinned. �I don�t know about you, but I know I�ve wanted that for quite some time now.� He chuckled and wrapped his arm around her waist. �Let�s go home.�
~*You�re the breath of life in me
The only one that sets me free
And you have made my soul complete
For all time
For all time�.*~
~End Flashback~
He looked back down at her and saw her grinning up at him. �Do you enjoy watching me sleep? Cuz, I�d of thought that after 10 minutes now, it�d get kinda boring. What�s got you so lost in thought?� He smiled. �You.� She blushed. �Well.� He grinned and leaned down and kissed her softly. �Did I ever tell you how you�re my best friend and how I love you?� She groaned. �Uh-oh. What do you want?� He chuckled. �You, my dear. Nothing but you.�
~*Every night I pray on bended knee
That you will always be
My everything
You are my everything�*~
The End!
