"Lili, we need to talk." Cole told her.

"Oh of course love, what do you want to talk about?" Lili said.

"Not now, come by my place today at 5," Cole said, his intentions not clear yet.

"Okay, baby, love you," Lili said cheerfully, clearly having no idea what will come later on.

Later, at 5 pm exactly, she was knocking on his door, a bright smile on her face. He opened it and she leaned in to give him a kiss but he avoided it, moving out of the way to let her in.

"So what exactly did you want to talk to me about?" she asked him, her eyes glancing up to his.

"Um...I kind of met someone else, and I really really like her. I'm sorry Lili, but I don't love you anymore, I don't want to be with you." Cole said, not glancing up at her, just looking at the floor.

"You...you lost feelings for me?" Lili said, surprised, her eyes tearing up.

"I'm truly sorry, can we be friends?" Cole said, sounding heartless.

"I can't even look at you anymore. You..you..you promised you would never leave me and now you suddenly say you don't love me anymore? I lost everything, everything, for you and now you decide I'm not worth it?" Lili says, standing up and wiping her tears.

"Lili, please--" Cole begs.

"No, don't say my name, I'm leaving now," Lili said.

and she did.

Lili wakes up, panting, her breath too fast, causing her sleeping boyfriend to wake up beside her, extremely worried.

"What, Lili? Are you okay?" Cole asked worryingly, his sleepiness all gone the second he saw the love of his life's beautiful crying eyes.

"yes, I'm fine. Just had a bad dream" Lili said, reassuring him.

He rubbed his hands down her arms and asked her what the dream was about in a soft, smooth voice. She teared up again because of how much he cared about her.

After she told him what the nightmare was about, he looked at her in all seriousness.

"Lili, do you really think I'd ever break up with you? You're the love of my life, the person who'd been there for me more than everyone else combined. I'm not one of those people who say 'I want to spend my life with you' then break up with you in a second. If there's anything I'm sure about in this messy life, it's you, Lili. So please, Lili Pauline Reinhart, don't ever for a second doubt my love for you ever again, because I love you more than anything."

Lili nodded, and he kissed her passionately then pulled her into his arms once again, considering himself the luckiest guy in the world to have the most beautiful girl in the world in his arms and call her his.

His, he would never get tired of calling her that, and he didn't want to, she was his, and he was hers, hopefully forever.
