Dedicated to LuckyLuv22 because The Bite of an Alpha is making me feel the "feels" again. HUHU.

"2 days in this flippin country and you're already cry calling me?" she asked as she entered my room.
I just stayed silent as she walked towards me and set beside me on the bed.
"What the fuck happened?" she asked me.
I looked at her and felt tears flowing from my eyes again.
"He's leaving me," I said.
"Who is?" she asked.
"Nate," I replied as I sobbed.
"Wait what?" she said, clearly not understanding what I was saying so I told her everything.
"He is a bloody asshole," she said looking about ready to kill someone.
"Well, you can't blame him for not wanting that kind of life. I mean, I don't want this kind of life but I'm stuck here... like this. I think it's best for him to leave," I said but I knew I was just lying to myself.
"So, let's be clear here. You asked your mother and his mother to agree to your deal that you will be engaged in 5 years' time," she said. "But, there's no backing out."
"Yes," I said.
"So you'll still be engaged to him after 5 years and he's not allowed to cancel the whole thing?" she asked.
"Yes," I replied again.
"But then, why would you still delay it even if it's still going to happen in the future?" she asked, clearly confused with the whole idea.
"Well, I figured we both needed time--especially Nate," I said. "We're still too young now and I guess Nate needs his freedom for a longer time."
"What if..," she started. "Nevermind."
"What?" I asked.
"I mean, what if he doesn't want to marry you in 5 years' time?" she asked hesitantly.
I was shocked that I didn't think of that before and I contemplated the possibility in my mind.
"I... I don't know," I admitted, not really knowing what to say. "I guess, when I proposed that deal, I assumed that he would still want to be with me."
"Did you ask him about it? Have you talked to him?" she asked.
"Not really, no," I said.
She looked at me with sad eyes and said, "Not to sound cynical and make you feel bad even more, but does he love you?"
"He said that he did," I replied.
She just smiled sadly at me and we both sat on the bed silently. I had a lot of things in my mind that I think I might just go crazy
"You know what you need?" she asked with a huge grin on her face.
"A bottle of wine?" I asked with a smile.
"No," she said as she rolled her eyes. "You need to watch The Notebook!"
"How very... normal," I commented.
"Yes! Now come on! Up, up!" she said enthusiastically. "No time for moping, we have to watch Ryan Gosling!"
"Alright, alright," I said with a chuckle as I stood up as well.
