Ember sat in her room staring at the computer screen ready to watch Ash's concert. She was moving into her appartment next week and wasn't ready to live alone. It had barely even been a week and she already missed him more than she thought she would.
The concert started and smile spread across her face when he came on screen. He looked happy out there. As the song played she knew it was about her. She wished she was with him. At the concert backstage waiting to congratulate him afterwards. A wave of sadness spread over her as she watched the concert. How long would it even be till they saw each other again? She hugged her pillow tightly and tried not to cry. She had to hold herself together. He was on tour and she was going to college. It was best for both of them.

It had been 3 months since I had last seen ash. I missed him so much that it hurt. He was out in the world somewhere. Without me. I wanted to see him again. In person, not over Skype. We didn't talk as much as we used to. My friends thought it would be best for me to dump him, but I just couldn't do it. I had also met another guy I kind of had feelings for. His name is Connor. He is tall with short blonde hair and brown-green eyes. He was very cute, and very in to me.
"you really should just break up with Ashton." Kari said.
I looked at her like she was crazy. "no. I can't and wouldn't do that."
Taylor rolled her eyes at me. "ember, he left you to tour the world! You two barely even talk now!"
"Taylor! You don't know what we've been through! Ash is not someone I can just let go!" I snapped.
"don't get so defensive, I'm only trying to help you!" Taylor said.
I shook my head and walked into my room slamming the door behind me. I plopped down on my bed and curled up in a ball. I couldn't break up with ash. I couldn't lose him.
Sometime passed before I heard someone walk into my room. They closed the door softly behind them before crawling into the bed next to me. They wrapped an arm around me and pulled me close to them.
Was it ash? Did he come back by surprise? I turned to face the person and sighed. "Connor what are you doing here?"
"your friends told me you were upset." he said softly.
"...I'm fine." I said.
He smirked. "biggest lie I've ever heard. I'm not an idiot em. You're not fine."
"don't call me that..." I said moving his arm away and sitting up.
He sighed and sat up next to me. "sorry... Ember, you should really just break up with him. You would be happier that way. You need to move on. Enjoy college instead of spend all of it missing someone."
I stared at my hands. "I can't just dump him. We've been through to much together. I can't throw that away..."
"you won't be. The memories are still there." he said. "plus, how do you know he hasn't moved on? He's half way across the world. He could easily forget about you."
My vision started to blur as tears stung the back of my eyes. "h-he wouldn't. He loves me." I said quietly.
Connor sighed and moved me so I was facing him. He wiped my tears away softly with his thumb. "it's okay ember... Just think about it." he tilted my face up a little and kissed me softly.
I hesitated before kissing him back. It had been so long since I've kissed ash. Kissing Connor made me feel like a hole inside me was being filled. I could feel myself coming back. Letting go.
Connor moved his hand to my cheek and kissed me a little deeper.
I sighed and moved his hand away before pulling back. "Connor... I'm still in a relationship."
"end it. Ember, I promise it will be better for you. I, will be better for you." he said looking at me.
I sighed and messed with my hair. "I think you're right... Maybe I should let go of him..."
He smiled slightly. "hand me your phone."
I hesitated before handing it to him.
He texted ash and told him I couldn't do this anymore and I was done with him. Then he changed my number before handing it back to me. "there. Pain free."
I took my phone back and looked at it. "....you broke up with him for me!?"
"ember, it's easier that way." he said.
"and you changed my number!?" I said looking at him. "why would you do that!?"
He sighed and held my hands. "ember, now you won't have to hear his response. It's like it never happened. He will be okay. He will handle it better this way. Just trust me!"
I looked at him and sighed before nodding lightly. "fine... I guess you are right. It is better this way."
"that's my girl." he said with a smirk before kissing me again.
