Not How it Goes

"Let me tell you a story…" The man says, "It's about a couple I once knew, years ago. They were in love, but it wasn't easy for them, not in the slightest…"

"Sam, we knew this was coming" He says, looking down at her sprawled over the couch.

"I know that nub, I'm not stupid" Sam replies sarcastically. Freddie rolls his eyes and knows that she is just using her sarcasm to cover up what she is feeling.

"It will be fine, it's not that far" He tells her.

Sam snorts, "Yeah only 413 miles apart, no big deal"

"We can make it work. A lot of couples have long distance relationships" He points out and sits on the edge of the couch.

"Yeah" She whispers. Sam shouldn't act like she is surprised, I mean she knew this moment was approaching since the beginning of the summer, but now it's real. Now the boxes are packed and the classes are scheduled and the moving dates are set, now it's really goodbye. At least Carly will only be an hour away, Sam thinks, So not everything is changing and I guess my classes might keep my mind off of not being able to see Carly and Freddie every day. Still…. it's different and it won't be easy.

"You okay?" He asks, pulling Sam out of her thoughts.

Sam looks at him silently before finally answering, "Yeah I'm okay"

"This is a sad story" The little girl, Rachael, says, interrupting him.

"Ahhhh, but this is just the beginning, you have to let me finish" He says.

"But they are already getting separated. I thought you said they were in love?" She asks.

"They were_"

"So then why did they leave each other? This isn't how love stories go, you know…" She pouts.

"Ha-ha, well you are just going to have to let me continue to find out how it ends…." He says and continues on…..

I know short, but sweet.

This just an intro, a new idea for a story. Now I know what some of you might be thinking, "Gosh this plot line is so over used and stupid and blah blah blah…." I do realize the general idea may be generic, but it will be good and I'll make it my own. I mean if you have ever read anything of mine you know that I never keep my stories "generic" or "plain"; I always have action and twists in my stories so don't write this story off.

So just let me know what you think!
