Years went by before change occurred. The break that they all took was long and needed. Most of all it was long wanted. Two albums and two tours later all three couples stayed in tact. It wasn’t until fame failed and life settled down for good that changes came around.
After the famous life came to a halt so did Lynn and Zac’s relationship. They were both now 19 and wanted different things. Lynn initiated the break up. After she spent her whole teenage life in love, she wanted to see what else life had to offer. She forgot what it was like to be single, and to be wanted by someone. She wanted to have the feeling of solidarity. Zac on the other hand felt much differently. He loved her with his entire heart, and to have that love end stopped his world dead in its tracks. Lynn tried to explain that this wasn’t where she belonged. These people that she thought were real weren’t anymore. They were just figments of a dream life that once lived. Zac continued, after the normal groveling to live life. He found a new love her name was Ariane. She was a year older than he was, but everything fell together perfectly. Within time they wed on October 23rd, 2005. They are both still living the most fulfilling life every imaginable.
Once the camera flashes blackened so did the relationship Isaac and Elizabeth shared. They both wanted to take a break, the love never faded, just the feeling of togetherness. Luckily, only a few months later, they were back together. They lived the life they always wanted, finding one true love and sticking with it for their whole lives through. They wed at the age of 23. They were lucky enough to learn that all you need in life is the one person that can take you away to that place. It’s a place they both grew to love and cherish together. When life boils down you realize that your future is merely your past reborn with a few more twists and turns added in to trick you. If it was one thing that Liz learned it was that sometimes you must experience loss many times to experience love. Liz and Ike have one child, a little girl named Skylar…Liz’s mom would never see her. After what Liz went through with her father and all of the “support” she received from her mother she blocked her out completely. All she needed was Ike and that’s exactly what she got.
If anyone said that a loving relationship was easy, then they must have never experienced a loving relationship. That is exactly what Bre and Tay learned from their encounters together. Some believe in fate, others luck, all they believed in was love. And love…love is what brought them to never ending happiness. There are always those people in life, the ones that bring you down, then there are always the ones that make you smile. Yet, Tay and Bre realized the most important rule…neither love you completely. The love they have is pure; they both bring each other up and down…together. They learned to love, hate and deal with whatever comes between them. Because of this they are still together at 22. Still dating, they are not yet married nor have kids. Their not rushing anything either. Tay and Bre realized that life is full of options, and instead of just leaving them all untouched, everything should be tasted at least once. They know that within each other they see all that they will ever need in life…and that’s the greatest gift. In order to learn this, it’s never easy. But if they could learn through love, and learn through hate, anyone can. They are normal people, just like you and I. They never gave up on the most important factor in life…the heart. They stuck through the pain, hardship, and strife. What if they hadn’t?
What would become of us if we were to give up on love? What if we gave up on hate even? They’re the world’s crudest, strongest, and closest emotions. If we are lucky enough to go through life and just feel a pinch of each…then we truly lived. What matters most is Tay, Bre, Ike, Liz, Lynn and Zac didn’t necessarily live happily, what matters most is that they lived.
