The morning was cold, unusually cold for Ohio. Which isn't saying much, I'd gotten up at the break of dawn to see Sam and his family off knocking on Sam's door it opened and Sam's mother; Tammy stood there looking at me groggily.

"Hey Rachel, good to see you so early you do know where not leaving for another two hours?" she said, she obviously had just woken up.

I put a smile on my face "I know Mrs Evan's it's just I wanted to speak to Sam before he leaves" I said, she took a deep breath and sighed.

Nodding, she held open the door wider "Come in Rachel" she said, she didn't like me obviously. She would rant on hours and an hour's about Quinn was perfect for Sam and they would one day be together despite the face I was in the room.

I nodded and walked in, they still lived in there hotel room. Sam was sprawled out on the couch, he was fast asleep. Snoring slightly, I smiled. I was going to miss him, I walked over to him leaning down I pecked his forehead. He frowned and mumbled something, I bit into my lip stopping myself from laughing.

"Sam" I said in a whisper, he took a deep breath.

"Rachel, five more minutes" he said, rolling over to face the wall.

I pursed my lips at him and smiled slightly.

"Samuel, get up and greet Rachel" his mother said, I turned and smiled at her.

He groaned "Seriously?" he said I smiled slightly.

"Seriously Sam" I replied, he fluttered his eyes open.

Looking directly at me he smiled, grabbing my hand with his. He gave me a weak squeeze, I took a deep breath. I promised myself that I wouldn't cry today, even though he's going away. He sat up slowly, yawning slightly. He looked over to his mother and smiled half heartedly, Stevie and Hanna where still asleep on the bed besides there packed suitcases. I bit into my bottom lip, standing up. I helped pull him up. Standing up he wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed my forehead.

"Morning, why are here?" he said, I frowned slightly.

"I mean like why so early where not leaving till nine and where all packed..." he started to say.

"Samuel, she has come to say good bye obviously now don't forget to say good bye to Quinn before you leave, you might see her soon and you don't want her to be too mad at you" she said, her eyes almost gleaming from speaking of her.

I clenched my jaw, god she was a bitch! Sam frowned slightly too.

"Yeah, I fucked you son" I blurted, she frowned.

"What did you say!" she demanded, I cleared my throat and smiled.

" I said 'city of sun?' Phoenix isn't Mrs Evans?" I said sweetly, she eyed me suspiciously.

"Um I'm not too sure what it's called Rachel, I must of misheard you" she said, smiling slightly.

Turning back to the table she was standing near, she continued to write in a book on the table. Sam squeezed me tight then leant and whispered in my ear.

"Don't ever word play my mother again" he said, chuckling slightly.

I bit my lip and nodded "Sorry, it sort blurted out" I apologized; he shrugged and kissed the top of my head.

Shrugging, I helped Sam pack his few final things into a parka. Stevie and Hanna where awake and running amuck, from what I could hear them screaming about. They were playing Cops and Robbers., I smiled. I missed those days, even though I never had any friends to play with. I'd watch from my dance class's to the park across the road. Sam's father came barging in through the front door. Sam was a splitting image of him, my stomach churned. He was know leaving, I took a deep breath.

"Okay Rachel are you fine to get home?" he asked me, I smiled and nodded.

"Yes Mr Evans, it was nice meeting all of you" I replied, he chuckled.

"Sweetie this won't be the final good bye, Sam never stops raving on about you we'll see you in ten months" he said, Sam mum pulled a face to the floor.

"Oh Tammy cut it out, Quinn was a tramp and cheated on Sam you should hate her!" he demanded, turning and winking with a smile at me.

I laughed slightly, bitting my lip. I followed them out to their car, Stevie and Hanna jumped into the car and instantly started to fight over which movie to watch. I smiled at them, Mr and Mrs Evans got into the car. I turned to Sam, he was frowning and bitting his bottom lips. I looked at him and smiled, pulling out my ring that was linked to my chain. I showed this to him and smiled.

"Ten months, I love you" I said, he smiled.

Leaning down he kissed me deeply, pulling away he looked at me.

"I love you, I'll see you in ten months" he replied, kissing me once more.

He reluctantly got into the car, winding down the window. I looked at him, I felt myself starting to tear up. I took a breath to steady myself, a single tear rolled down my cheek as the car engine stared. Looking out to me, he waved to me. Kissing his hand, he blew it to me he was slightly red in the cheeks and obviously was upset. Seeing I could read him like a book, I swallowed back the lump in the back of my throat and waved him good bye. As the car slowly rolled away, taking Sam with it.

*.*.*.*

The next day, I was half asleep in my bed. I couldn't figure out what the annoying beeping noise was, I slowly fluttered my eyes open. My phone was buzzing on the bedside table, groaning. I grabbed my phone, flipping open the phone I looked to see who had texted me. I smiled brightly whilst I read my message.

Only 299 days till I see you again, I love you don't forget that

X. Sam

THE END... For now, until next time I bid you farewell!
