They had grown up together sharing their expectations for life, sharing their dreams and hopes. Ayida was the first person he told about getting into Michigan State and since she was just as excited about him being able to follow his dreams he never changed what he shared with her.
    In their fourth year in secondary they decided to become a couple which everyone basically assumed they were the entire time. There were no days they were not together Sedric knew what she wanted in life, he knew her fears, but most importantly he knew her heart and loved her. They had made it through all the different twists and turns teenage love came with and where headed toward their futures together.
    Two months before he made the decision to enter the draft Sedric had come home and wanted to talk with her about what was going on. Since she was just as busy with school and her own studies she didn’t have the same time she had when they were younger so the conversation didn’t go well between them. A few conversations later they were going to make things work as friends because they had different lives and he didn’t want to do anything to hurt her.
    To her mother, sister, and a few friends it was a noble act for him to walk away so that she wouldn’t have to endure the possibilities of what was going to happen next in his life. To her heart it was a rip right down the middle and being honest it still wasn’t healed since every single time she saw him it felt like someone had wrapped the rope around her heart and started tugging.
    No matter what she was feeling his family had always been great to her, his sister even still called from time to time asking about her studies and how she was. A few times she had seen Nanny K out at the market and even she had been just as sweet to her so she made up her mind got up and dressed and headed over. After all life wasn’t exactly the same for her anymore she was no longer the completely lonely girl wishing she could rewind time and have her love back. There was an amazing guy who genuinely liked her possibly loved her and she had that to keep her strong for those heart tugging moments that would come when she saw Sedric.
    ‘You look pretty fancy to be just going to see Nanny K little sister.’
    ‘Oh would you stop that it’s just a sundress…and yes I am going to say hi and give her the gift I got for her see its right here.’
    ‘Ok well don’t let me hold you up…but that dress is pretty fancy.’
    ‘Shut up Bridgette…I’ve had this dress on before and it’s a party I can’t wear my work clothes.’
    ‘Ok…so did you have fun last night with Evan?’
    ‘Yea…he took me dancing then we went down to the beach for a while…that’s why I got in so late we fell asleep down there.’
    ‘Really!, sleeping on the beach and what else?’
    ‘Bridgette! Nothing else we were talking and that’s all.’
    ‘So Evan hasn’t made his move yet I see.’
    ‘Made what move…’
    ‘The one to get him more than just talking on the beach.’
    ‘What!...we are not even really a couple that is crazy Bridge…I have to go.’
    ‘Hey well call me later let me know what the party was like….and tell Sed hey for me…have fun Aydee.’
    ‘Shut up Bridgette.’
    Not talking to much about her personal life with her mother and sister was best for Ayida at this point. What she was keeping from them would cause so much uproar and questioning that she would have had to completely cut them off for a while just to get some peace of mind. They would be expecting her to change her life completely. Then how they always pounced on the relationship that was no longer in existence between her and Sedric did not make things any better, it took her months to stop crying herself to sleep after they broke up. Crying that she did under the covers and pillows so her mother wouldn’t hear her and come to try and make it go away as she always did. 
    But now she was headed right to her heartache and he was
