Gillian and Ben had known each other for years and years. They had gone to school together and had remained as friends in all that time. Gillian's life had led a totally different path. She had met up with Nick who had literally taken control of her life. And with the control people had been led to believe that she was a kept woman. With her slinky little outfits and her peroxide blonde hair. All the make up and the false nails. Who wouldn't think that? Gillian was tired of it all. She had always been driven to succeed. Gillian realized that she would have to make a drastic move. She needed to get out of town fast. She would make it big wherever she went and come home a success. She had the drive. But then there was Ben. Ben who she had always loved. Who had just announced his engagement to Sally. Even more reason for Gillian to get out of town. Ben drove her over to the airport. But he had to tell her. He had to tell her how he felt. Before he never saw her again.
