Jake rushed into his apartment and saw Kelly sitting on the couch by herself with a sad face. A guilty looking Jake said, "Kelly. Look I am so sorry I didn't come to the doctor's with you. It's just we had a huge number of orders being made at the restaurant. But I promise you I will be there for you next time you..." Kelly immediately interrupted Jake and said, "It was a false alarm. It turns out I'm not pregnant." Jake immediately sat down next to Kelly in relief as he said, "Phew. Well.. I'm still sorry anyway Kelly. Look, I promise you though. If this kind of scare happens again and you are pregnant, I will definitely be there for you and..." Kelly interrupted Jake again and said, "There isn't going to be a next time Jake. I needed you today Jake. I needed you to think about something besides the restaurant for once and you... didn't." Jake then said, "But Kelly. I told you, it got really busy today and..." Kelly cut off Jake and said, "It gets busy all the time Jake. And it never will stop getting busy."

Jake then with a little smile said, "Yeah but we've talked about this before. This is my dream. And to make dreams come true, you've gotta make sacrifices." Kelly nodded and said, "Yeah. Sacrifices for your dream. But what about mine?" Jake then said, "What do you mean? We're together. You work with me at the shop, and I'll forever be thankful for all the help you give and..." Kelly cut off Jake once more and said, "No, I mean... Jake, I don't even know what I really want to do with my life. For the majority of my teenage years, and the entirety of my adult life so far, everything I've done is to help you and make your dreams come true. And I'm so glad your dreams are coming true Jake. I really am. But... I've taken no time yet to figure out what I want." Jake then with a simple expression said, "Well what do you want Kelly?" Kelly then said, "I want... to do something besides cooking finally, and then... have a family. I want kids Jake. But I want kids who will have two parents that are there for them. And when I thought I was pregnant, I was sad not because I believed I was pregnant... but because I believed I would be raising a child who would never have their father around." Jake then touched Kelly's hands and said, "Kelly... I want us to work."

Kelly nodded and said, "I know. But you love your work. And it is good work. And I could never tell you to walk away from it. Jake, it's time we admit to ourselves we don't have a future together... so we can make the best one we can apart." Jake then said, "Kelly... I love you." Kelly then gently grabbed Jake's hands as tears came from her eyes as she said, "I know. I love you too Jake. But I can't let you keep loving me until I figure out who I truly am. But please know, I don't regret falling in love with you. I don't regret losing my virginity to you. I know that I will love you till the day I die. But I need to set you free so you can follow your dreams without anything holding you down." Kelly then moved her face forward and kissed Jake on the lips for a moment. Eventually the kiss ended and then Kelly stood up as she said, "I'm going now. All my stuff is in my car." Jake then stood up as he said, "Kelly, please..." Kelly turned her head away from Jake and closed her eyes as she said, "My key is on the kitchen counter. Don't come after me Jake. It'll only be more painful. Goodbye." Then Kelly headed out the door as Jake simply remained standing still with a sad look on his face.

In Hannah and Darbie's apartment, Hannah and Darbie were looking through a catalogue as Darbie said, "What about that?" Hannah then said, "I don't know. Are you sure I should wear a white wedding dress? I mean white is supposed to represent purity before marriage, and I think we're both way past that mark." Darbie smirked as she said, "Hannah, it'll be official in just a few months, but when you think of it: we've been married in spirit for years now. We've been faithful and loyal to just each other, so... I say we're pure." Hannah giggled, but then the two suddenly heard a knock at the door. The two both got up, opened the door, and saw Kelly standing at the door with two large bags next to her. A concerned looking Hannah said, "Kelly... are you all right?" Kelly with a calm face said, "Yeah. It's just... I kinda need a place to stay for a little while because me and Jake... we... we..." Suddenly Kelly's facial expression quickly changed from calm to completely sad as tears began to quickly stream out of her eyes and she began to sob and cry. Hannah and Darbie immediately reached out and hugged Kelly, as Kelly fell into their arms and continued to cry.

*Six Months Later

Darbie and Hannah were both wearing white wedding dresses as they danced together in a large social hall. Kelly stood by herself nearby watching them wearing a long blue dress with her hair tied back while drinking some sparkling cider. Suddenly from nearby Jake walked up to Kelly and said, "Hey Kelly." With a slight surprise Kelly said, "Jake. Hey." Jake nodded and said, "Hey... again. So... how are you doing?" Kelly then said, "Good. So... how's the restaurant?" Jake then said, "Great. Finally opened that second store." Kelly then said, "Oh. Congratulations." Jake then said, "How about you?" Kelly then said, "Well I've started college finally in Bay City. Zoe says hi by the way. And I've gotten a part time job taking care of kids after school. It's actually pretty fun." Jake made a little smile and said, "I'm happy for Kelly. So... you ever gonna swing by the restaurant again?" Kelly then said, "Oh, of course. Me, Hannah, and Darbie first met there, so we still plan to have lunch at our favorite table every year for our friendship anniversary no matter where we all live. Although be forewarned, one year you might see all of us twice at the same time." A confused looking Jake said, "What?" Kelly smirked and said, "It doesn't matter. But um... anyway, I have to get going. But um... yeah. So... bye." Kelly then walked away from Jake as Jake simply remained standing still as he softly said, "Goodbye Kelly."
