"I'm going to miss you when all this is over." Dolph said. He was lying next to Dolph outside on the field. They had a week with no training or games so they were just lying around. Every now and again they would glance at the others who were playing football.
"We Still have plenty of time." Randy said.
"I still can't believe that only four of us are getting football scholarships." Dolph looked over at Randy. "Do you think any of us will get one?"
"I hope so but I'm not riding on it." Randy said. "I'm just an okay player but I know for sure that John is getting one."
Dolph sat up. "So once we leave what are you going to do. Are you guys going to break up or try a long distance relationship because I've heard that it can be pretty tough."
"A long distance relationship will never work." Randy said. "But even if we break up were still going to stay in contact. I'd rather have him in my life as a friend then not at all." He groaned. "You know what I told my mom before I came here? She said don't fall in love or its going to be hard to fall out of it when it's time to go. In a matter of weeks John and and I are going to be over." He looked over at Dolph. "Then what am I suppose to do?"
"Make every second count." Dolph said. "This might be the only time you'll get to be with him."
"I'm not ready for any of this to be over." Randy said. "I love being here, playing football and being with John."
"And don't forget about all the hot guys here either." Dolph said. "Man I love shower time."
"Dude that not cool." Randy said.
"Awe come on, I know you have let your eyes roam when others are around you. I know I have and dude you're not so bad yourself."
Randy smiled. "Can we please talk about something else?"
Dolph laughed. "So what did you tell your mom about John?"
"I didn't tell her anything because I knew what she would say." Randy said. "I told you so and I don't want to deal with it."
"It's not your fault." Dolph said. "I mean you can't help who you fall in love with."
"Easy for you to say." Randy said. "When all of this is over you get to go home and be with Alex. John and I lives miles apart from each other. Both of us want that scholarship to Golden state university."
"Why can't you just get the money?" Dolph said.
"Because I can't afford it." Randy said. "My folks did everything just to get me here. A scholarship would be everything to me and my family."
"Well only one is going out." Dolph said "But good luck in the future."
"Thanks." Randy said sitting up. "Come on lets get something to eat I'm starving." He got up and walked off, Dolph right behind him.
...
Dolph and Randy were sitting at one of the tables in the lunchroom. He watched as Randy picked through his food. "Okay you have to get over this Randy. You're the one who wanted to come eat and now you're picking through your food."
"I don't want to talk about this anymore." Randy said.
"Hey guys." John said sitting down next to him. He looked from John to Randy. "Whats going on?"
"Nothing." Randy said looking over at John. "What's going on with you and where have you been all day?"
"Playing football with the other guys." John said. "I saw you guys talking, what's going on?"
"We talked about our plans after we leave here." Dolph said looking at Randy who glared back at him. "How the both of you want to go golden state but only one of you can. He's afraid of what's going to happen to you two when it's time to go." He stood up. " I just remembered that I have to do something so I will see you guys later."
John watched him walk off then turned to Randy. "What was that all about?" He said. "And what was he talking about."
"What's the point of getting back together if were just going to break up again?" Randy said. "Maybe we should just stop what we're doing now because I'm not going to be able to do it when the time does come."
John sighed. "Randy I love you and all I want is for you to be happy. So if this is what you want then we won't."
"Are you serious?" Randy asked looking over at him. "You would do that for me?"
John smiled. "I would do anything for you."
Randy leans over and kisses John. "Thank you and I really do love you."
"I know you do." John said. "And no matter what I will always love you."
Randy's smile only got bigger. "Me too."
...
That night
"So you guys really aren't getting back together." Dolph asked. He was sitting on Randy's bed while Randy laid next to him.
"Nope." Randy said. "It's going to be really hard not to want to kiss him every time see him."
"I'm sorry you're going through this." Dolph said.
"I'll be okay." Randy said. "We just have to get use to not being together anymore. Ever since we got together we've spent almost every moment we could together. I'm going to miss not being with him."
"Do you really think you two can be together without being together?" Dolph asked. "Even when Alex and I broke up we still hooked up. For some reason we couldn't stay away from each other."
"John and I will be okay." Randy said.
"Hey I'm sorry for blurting everything out like I did." Dolph said.
"You were right I should have been straight with him." Randy said.
Dolph looked toward the door and saw a light heading their way. "Lights out." He said getting up and heading over to his bed. The door opened and someone walked in. His eyes were close so he didn't see who it was. When they were gone he looked back over at Randy. "You going to be okay."
"Yeah." Randy said. I'll see you in the morning."
...
The next day
Randy was still lying in his bed, on his back with his pillow covering his head. It was in the middle of the day. He didn't move when he heard the door open and close or when he felt someone sit on his bed. "I'm fine Dolph, I just want to be alone." A hand was placed on his back and he looked over to see John. "Oh it's you."
John smiled. "Are you going to stay in here all day?"
Randy sighed. "I guess I'm not in a good mood." He sat up and faced John. "What are you doing here?"
"I came to see if you wanted some company." John said.
Randy looked down. "Be honest with me, do you think we can do this?"
John kept glancing at Randy's lip. "I know we can if we try."
Randy couldn't pull his eyes away from John and he soon found himself leaning closer and kissing him. Pulling back for air he smiled. "Well this may be harder than I thought."
John laughed. "Yeah, so what do you think. Would you mind if I stay in here with you."
"Not at all." Randy said lying back down. John laid down next to him and they stayed their talking for rest of the day.
