The various tones in which Carly calls Sam by her name
Chapter 10: Sam (heart broken)
Sam and Carly got on the elevator. Carly's father was downstairs waiting to take her to Italy and away from Sam. Sam knew this wasn't the case and that Carly needed her father but that's what it felt like to her. As soon as the elevator door closed Sam hit 'L'.
'I'll call and write everyday,' Carly said as she wrapped her arm around Sam. 'There's only like a 9 hour difference so we can figure out a good time for both of us and talk everyday too. We can set up Skype and watch movies together on Netflix. It'll be like a long distance date.'
'No.'
This response cause Carly to let go and stare at Sam. 'No? What do you mean no? You can't say no.'
'Carls, I'm breaking up with you.'
'What? You're breaking up with me? Why?'
'Because you're to nice to breakup with me and I can handle being the bad guy,' Sam said as her own heart cracked and began to shatter. 'Sure we could try the long distance thing but then what? Carls you're going there to spend time with you're father who you haven't seem in years. I don't want to take that away from you.'
'So you're going to take your love away? How does that even make sense,' Carly asked.
'My love for you is right here,' Sam said touching her heart. 'And here,' She said as she touched Carly's heart. 'You're going to Italy. The birthplace of spaghetti and pizzas. I'm sure they have great museums and other sites that you'd enjoy. I don't want you half there and half here trying to make this relationship work. Let's be honest things would be great in the beginning and then things would slow down for one reason or another before they stopped altogether. I'd rather stop now.'
'What if I don't want to stop now?'
'This isn't a discussion. I'm not giving you a choice in the matter. Once we step off this elevator that's it. I'm not coming to the airport with you.'
Carly realizing they were just now passing the third floor immediately hit the second floor button and the elevator slowed to a stop as the chime sounded signaling they'd reached their destination.
'Why'd you do that,' Sam asked.
'Just trying to make the moment last as long as possible,' Carly explained as she turned around and looked at her. This would probably the last time they'd see each other. She grabbed Sam and pulled her so they we blocking the sensors so the door wouldn't close. 'There's nothing I can do to change your mind?'
'It's better this way. Besides, they say absence makes the heart grow fonder.'
'They could be wrong.'
'No amount of distance or time is ever going to change how I feel about you. I just want you to focus on reconnecting with your dad and having the life experience a teen traveling to Italy should have. Visit the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Venice. Ride scooters.'
'Date other people,' Carly asked. The elevator started beeping and the door started closing as if answering her question.
'Yea, you can. But return to mama someday.'
The elevator dinged and the doors opened. Sam quickly grabbed Carly and hugged her tightly. Carly hugged Sam just as tight trying to somehow merge their bodies. Sam released her as she whispered 'I'll always love you Shay and I'll wait for you' in her ear. Sam kissed her on the lips softly and stepped off the elevator and out of her life.
'Sam,' Carly said as the tears rained from her eyes.
End.
A/N: Back after another hiatus. Going to try to stick around a bit longer this time as I have many thought roaming around in my head and I just got a new net to catch them. Review. I'd like to know how I did.
