"'Cause time wasn't in our favor

This isn't goodbye, this is simply see you later"

Lili tried to calm her nerves down, but it wasn't working.

This was it.

She was finally going to find out the real truth of why Cole broke up with her so suddenly.

"So?" Lili asked, raising her eyebrows.

"Lils, my agent,..uh...he told me he had a discussion with your agent, and he said that both of us are not going to have any more roles in both movies and TV if we keep our relationship up. You know how much the fans love us, Lili, we're their favorites, and they will just keep prying into our relationship if we don't end it. That's why I broke up with you, Lils, I don't give a damn about my career, not if it means I don't get to have you. But..I'm not about to let you screw up your entire life for me. Not when I know I'm going to hurt you again, and I really can't have that. I would rather see you happy with someone else than you being alone and hurting because of me. I would do anything to make you happy, Lils. Please understand that. You might not think this is the right decision right now, but believe me once you become even more famous than you already are, you will understand why we had to break up. I'm sorry for hurting you." Cole said.

Lili's breath had become even more unstable, but that didn't stop her from noticing the tears that were sliding down Cole's face, even as he tried to hide it from her.

She always knew when he wasn't okay, and he loved that.

"I'm willing to fight for you, please, Cole.." Lili begged, tears sliding down her own face.

"No, I'm not letting you ruin your life for me, Lils. this is not goodbye, Lili. One day, when we're tired of acting, we'll find each other again. I know it, we're meant to be, I don't want anyone else, Lili I'm serious, you're the only one I want." Cole tried to convince her.

Lili just stared at the ground, tears still streaming down her face.

"Bye Lils, for now." Cole said, then leaned in and kissed her cheek softly.

He was walking away when Lili grabbed his hand.

"Lili, I already told you we can't--" Cole tried to say..

She kissed his lips softly but passionately. He couldn't help but kiss back.

"Something to remember me by." Lili told him when they were done with kiss.

"Oh, love" Cole said, then pulled her into his arms.

They just stayed there, hugging, until both their phones lit up with Roberto's message saying that they had to head to filming now.
