Rachel was standing at her locker, looking at a picture of Sam. Rachel and Sam had been dating since the end of junior year. And tomorrow was graduation. She gave a weak smile at the picture. She loved Sam so much, but knew they couldn't stay together after graduation. She had been accepted into Julliard, while Sam was staying in Lima and going to a community college. He had been so excited that say he got accepted. It broke her heart. Rachel hadn't told Sam about Julliard yet. "I haven't gotten any letters yet" she told him countless times. When really, she had received her letter three months ago.
She was looking at Sam's picture when he walked up to her.
"Hey" he kissed her on the cheek.
"So, I was thinking. You. Me. Color Me Mine. Six o'clock?" Sam smiled
Rachel started tearing up.
"Rachel, what's wrong?" Sam gave her a worried look
"I got accepted into Julliard. In New York"
"What?..." Sam could barely breathe
Sam was in love with Rachel. After Quinn dumped him for Finn, Him and Rachel had become best friends. Then, It became something more.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Sam asked, tears forming in his eyes
"I don't know. I was scared"
"Where does this leave us" Sam asked, but he knew where this was heading
"We can't be together anymore" Rachel said through tears
Sam shook his head. "I love you Rachel. I don't want this to end. You're the best thing that's ever happened to me"
"We couldn't make it work, Sam" Rachel shut her locker. Then she took off the necklace that had "Sam" on it in gold letters. Rachel put it in the palm of his hand. "You were the best thing that ever happened to me to, you know. She gave a fake smile. She turned around and walked off, crying.
