He picks up the phone.

"Hello, Abrams residence."

"Hey Artie, it's Sam."

"Hey Sam! So I was bought the newest Doctor Who season our Friday night marathon night! Do you think you could-"

"I can't come."

"What?"

"I can't come."

"Okay so next week can you-"

"No. It isn't just this week. I just can't anymore."

"Why not?"

Pause

"Sam?"

"We're moving."

"What?"

"Tennessee. We have family there. We can't keep staying in a hotel."

"How will you get to school though?"

A bitter laugh.

"They have schools in Tennessee too."

"But Sam…"

"I know."

"You could live here! Or get a TARDIS! Or… or… Something Sam. Something has to happen."

"Something is. I'm leaving."

"I mean-"

"I know what you mean. And I appreciate it. I want… but I have to go. My family needs me to go work."

"I can give you my address and we can write? Or will you have a phone? I don't want you to disappear."

"I don't want to disappear either. You're the best friend I've ever had."

Pause and ragged breathing.

"Mine too. You are I mean. I just don't want to believe this."

"We had to. We leave in a couple days."

"So soon…"

"Yeah. Can I come over?"

"Yes! I mean… sure"

"See you soon."

"Bye."

"Bye."

He hangs up the phone, wipes his eyes, and wonders why this is so hard.
