Shayla smiled and nodded,"Of course." She said,"This is what you've always dreamed of. You can't just let it go. This is your big chance." She kissed his cheek,"So, as your girlfriend...this is goodbye. But as your friend, I'll always be here for you." She was going to wait, wait til she was alone to fall apart. She didn't want to him to see her cry

Shayla watched him go before getting to her feet. She went outside to, watching him head home before she looked over at Stefan,"Chase got accepted to teach cooking classes in the city with Maya." She said to him,"So he and I decided to break up."

Shayla nodded, looking down and starting to cry quietly

Shayla couldn't stop her tears. It felt like everything was falling apart. She saw the letter in Stefan's hand,"I guess you have to leave too?" She murmured, feeling even worse.

Shayla couldn't stop her tears,"I knew it." She murmured quietly,"I'm not mad, so please don't think that. It just sucks...I've lost my boyfriend and now my best friend has to go too..."

Shayla hugged him gently,"I know. And you should go so you can see her." She said gently,"The timing just really sucks. But what can you do?" She sighed, calming down a bit,"Chase and I will always be friends at least. It just sucks."

shayla nodded,"I gotta take care of my animals first. I'll be back over in a bit." She said, hurrying off towards her farm. Once she was inside her house and alone, she sank in a chair and cried quietly. How was she going to act like this would be okay? How would she deal with losing her boyfriend-now here close friend- and her best friend in the same weekend? After a few moments, she washed her face, went to take care of her animals and watered her crops.

After making sure she took care of everything, she changed her clothes and went to the cafe to meet with Stefan.

She hugged him back and shook her head,"No not really." She said quietly, sitting down with him. You could tell by her eyes she had been crying.

"I can just walk to your farm and take care of them. It's not too far away." Shayla murmured, laying her head on her arms, face down in the table.
