You loved Ben, with everything you had, but sometimes it was hard to agree on something with him when he was dead set on being right. But at least he always owned up to his mistakes and apologized afterwards. You both are very supportive of each other, especially knowing what kind of family he grew up with.

Lately, Ben’s been stuck between the options of leaving behind his current life at Wiskayok High School in order to fully commit to your relationship and potentially leaving you behind to focus on his career. It’s been one of the main topics in your daily conversations, with both of you trying to meet in the middle, but it seems like none of your ideas has stuck yet.

Now, the day before the team leaves for nationals, he’s finally made a decision on what he’s going to do. So, he comes over to your apartment, his suitcase already packed and in his bedroom at home, to tell you what he decided on. “Babe? Are you home?” He asks, setting his keys on the table near the front door.
