�Do you have your ticket?�� Kathleen asked her daughter as they stood at the train station.
�Yes, it is in my purse.�
�Call me when you once you reached Chicago, so I know you made it okay.�
�I promise mom.�� Melissa smiled at her.� �I�m going to miss you.�
Kathleen hugged her daughter.� �I�m going to miss you too.� I�ll be up to see you next month.�
�Perfect, I�ll show you around Chicago and we can do some shopping.�
They pulled apart.� �Us shopping, that is dangerous for our wallets.��
Melissa laughed and pushed her purse back onto her shoulders.
�MEL!�� Samantha yelled as she and Brian made their way to her.� �I�m going to miss you so much.�� She quickly hugged her.
�What are you guys doing here?�� She smiled once the broke apart.
�You didn�t think we would come to see you off?�� Brian asked hugging her.
�I just figured we said our goodbyes at the party.�
�It�s not goodbye, it�s see you later.�� Samantha replied as Brian wrapped his arm around her waist.
�Yup, Sam and I are coming to see you often, so you better get use to see our faces.�
�I look forward to it.�� She grinned at her family.� She was going to miss them so much.� �I better go, I don�t want to miss my train.�
Everyone gave her a quick hug goodbye.� �Remember to call.�� Kathleen stated.
�I promise.�� She started towards the train, but turned around.� �I love you all.�� She blew them a kiss and headed to the train.
�Ticket, please.�� Melissa handed him her ticket and she boarded the train.� She found an empty section of seats and sat down.� She laid her luggage in the vacant seat to the right of her.� She looked out the window at all the people hurrying to get to their trains.� Not her, after last night dream or whatever it was, she seemed calm with everything.� It was so strange; she couldn�t remember any of it.� She just remembered feeling at peace.
Ring�ring�ring.
Melissa dug into her purse, searching for her phone.� �Hello?�
�Mel, its Nick.�
�Nick, why are you calling me?�
�I didn�t want to leave things the way they were between us.�
Melissa sighed.� �Me too.�
�Good, look out your window.�� She glanced out and saw him standing on the platform, looking straight at her.� She flipped her phone shut and exited the train.
�What are you doing here?�� Melissa asked face to face with him.
�I�m making a last chance attempt to make you stay and give me another chance.�
�Nick.�
�I love you so much, Mel.� I can�t lose you again.� You are my heart.�
�I love you too, Nick.� But��
�No, buts, just say you will stay.� Give me a second chance.�
�I can�t.�
Nick bowed his head and then looked at her.� �I had a dream about your dad last night.� He told me to never give up on you.� And I never will, no matter what.�
�I know that Nick.�
�He also told me to not worry about Bella that he was taking care of her.�
�Train 35 to Chicago will be leaving in five minutes.�
�I have to go, Nick.�� Seeing him and hearing him talk about Bella was too much.� She kissed his cheek and got back on the train.� She found her sit and sat down.� Melissa looked out the window and saw him still standing there.
She leaned back in the seat and closed her eyes.
�There are no guarantees in life.�
�You need to decide if you can picture your life without Nick in it.�
�Life is so short to be unhappy.� You have to take the moments you have with your loved one and cherish them.�
�And don�t worry about Bella, I�m watching over her too.� I love you.�
Suddenly all the memories from last night came rushing back to her.� �Dad.�� Her eyes opened up.� She sat up in her sit, she remembered everything.�
�You came to see Nick.�� In that moment, Melissa knew what her decision was.� Somehow she always knew, deep down inside she always knew.� She quickly grabbed her luggage and purse.�
Melissa ran off the train and stopped, looking for Nick.� Finally she spotted him and he saw her too.� She dropped everything and ran to him.� She ran into his arms and kissed him.� They pulled apart, keeping their foreheads resting against each other.
�What are you doing?�� Nick asked breathless from the heated kiss.
�I choice you.�� Melissa smiled.
�I don�t understand.�
�I had a decision to make whether I wanted to live my life without you.� I have made my decision.� I�m staying.�� Nick didn�t hear anything else and kissed her again.� Once they broke apart, Nick picked up and spun her around.� He set her back down on the ground and looked at the woman he loved.
�Thank you for giving me a second chance.�
