Max's P.O.V~

Well this is it. I'm leaving today. I've packed my bags and I'm heading back to Dublin. I'm gonna miss it here, I always do when I come to visit. But this time was extra special.

I grab my bags and have one last meal with my parents before I go. I make sandwiches and pour a bowl of chips to go with it.

At this point my mom was crying because of the sad tension that filled the air. Dad rubbed her back and I looked down at my plate.

"Well, *sniff* at least it's not good bye for ever." My mom smiled through sobs.

"Exactly, I mean there's always spring break." I hug her and dad.

"Exactly." She replied.

After lunch, I took a moment to take one last glance of my room to see if I missed anything. I looked to my book shelf and saw a picture turned face down. It was the picture of Sugar.

I picked it up and stared at it for the longest time, when finally, I couldn't stand it anymore. I placed the picture on my forehead and burst out into tears . They streamed down my face and landed on the picture. It was so disappointing! Knowing that the one chance I had with Sugar blew up in my face. When I come back again, she'll probably be in an even more serious relationship with Jared than she was before. Just the thought of that made my teeth clench together. I very much disliked Jared. It was torture watching Jared and Sugar have little make out sessions all the while I was sitting back trying my very hardest to be happy for her. It was torture having to use Lillian that way just to maybe get the slightest bit of jelous you out of Sugar. I really felt bad after that. It was torture to not have Sugar in my arms every second of every day that we were apart. I've never stopped thinking about her since the day I said good bye. Not once. And I never will.

Sugar's P.O.V~

I'm doing it. No I'm not. Should I? I can't. But at the same time maybe I can. Ugh! I don't know! If your wondering what I was trying to decide, it was probably the worst. I was trying to decide weather I should break up with Jared.

It's a huge decision. I mean, I have feelings for him...and Max. That's right, Max. Should I follow my heart to who I think I love the most? Well of course I should, but that's just it. Who do I love more?

As I was in the middle of thinking, I heard a knock on my door. I got up and answered it. I opened it to the smiling face of Jared.

"Hey, Sugar!" He said and kissed me on the cheek.

"Hey-" I reply and wince. "-why did you come over?"

"I don't know, just to see you I guess." He looked at me and smiled.
"So what's new?" He asked.

After a couple seconds, I answered.
"Why don't you come and sit."

He came in and closed the door behind him.

"Is everything okay?" He asked once he was seated.

"Yeah everything's fine." I had a pit in my stomach. Was I really going to do this?

"See the thing is." I began. But I couldn't finish. Thoughts raced through my mind. If I did this, how would he react? And what would the point be if this was Max's last day?

"Yeah, keep going." He said.

This was going to be so hard. I can always make something up and pretend nothing happened, but was that really how I wanted this to happen? Did I really want to brush something that may still be there for Max away? In my head, I try to compare the two. Who was better? Max was my first person who I truly loved, but Jared, did I really love him? I mean Jared's a great guy, but I don't know if he's right for me. Well, here I go. Let's see what pop's out of my mouth.

"See, Jared. You don't know this and I probably should have told you this a very long time ago. See, Max and I. We used to date." I stopped to see how he would react. He kind of moved in his chair and put a hand under his chin.

"Okay I'm following. Is that all?" He asked.

"Well no not exactly. I...I still... ... ...like, Max." This time I closed my eyes and waited for yelling or too many questions that I'm not able to answer.

"I have two questions. How long have you had feelings for him, and do you still have feelings for me as well or just him?" He said very calmly.

"Well for your first question, ever since he gave me that necklace. And for the second, I think I like Max more." I wince at the last few words.

There was a long silence before someone spoke.

"Sugar. Follow your heart." He smiled and brought me into his arms.

"Thank you." I said. He squeezed me tighter.

"I will never forget you Sugar." He said.

"Me neither, Jared." I give him one last hug and I release.

"Now he's leaving today right?" Jared asked.

I nodded.

"What time does his flight leave?"

"One." I say. I got all this info from Lillian.

"It's ten minutes to one. You have to get to the airport as fast as you can and-"

"I know where he is." I cut him off.

"Okay bye Jared I'll see you later all right?" I kiss him on the cheek one last time before I leave him alone in my house.

Max's P.O.V~

I've driven to the beach just to see if she might come. She knows my flight leaves soon and she comes to the beach often. I don't see her anywhere. Maybe she'll come?

Sugar's P.O.V~

I run down the rode because the beach is not that far at all. Running there might take about two minutes.

Max's P.O.V~

I wait a little longer to to see if she'll show up. I hope she makes it.

Sugar's P.O.V~

I hope I make it.

Max's P.O.V~

Does she know I'm here?

Sugar's P.O.V~

Is he even here?

Max's P.O.V~

I start heading up to my car.

Sugar's P.O.V~

I made it to the beach!

Max's P.O.V~

I really thought she'd come.

Sugar's P.O.V~

I search the beach for Max. Finally I see him at his car.
"Max!" I call.

Max's P.O.V~

"Max!" I here.

Sugar's P.O.V~

He turns around.

Max's P.O.V~

I turn around to see Sugar.

Sugar's P.O.V~

He runs down and pulls me into a hug.

"I knew you'd come." He says.

After a while I looked up at him.

"Max?" I started. "I'm sorry I never came to you sooner I just-" He cut me off with a kiss. Oh how I missed these lips! His soft, warm lips against mine. I smiled. After a few seconds, we released.

"Oh, Sugar I missed you so much!" Max said.

"Me too." I replied as hot tears streamed down my face. Max was crying too.

Max's P.O.V~

I held onto her for as long as I could. I wish I could hold her forever. I've missed everything about her. Her hair, her smile, her face. I've missed her arms wrapped around me. And now it's all came back.

"Well what do we do now?" She asked.
"Do you think we should get back together?"

I wanted to say yes. A thousand times yes! But I had to go back to Dublin.

"What about my college? Do you think we'd be able to maintain a long distance relationship?" I asked.

"I think it's worth a shot." She smiled and leaned in to kiss me. I leaned in and once again we were caught in a long, passionate kiss.

Max and Sugar's P.O.V~

Max: And that's when we realized we couldn't stand life without each other.

Sugar: We're still together and we're so happy. That's when we both realized:

Max: I love her.

Sugar: And I love him.
