Today was my last day to see Danny. When he had to leave, I wouldn't let go of him. I cried nonstop. I didn't want him to leave. Danny said that he'd visit me as soon as he could. Between the tears, I smiled. Then I leaned in and kissed him one last time. It was a long and sweet kiss. He broke apart while I was still in the trance. He hugged me one last time before he got on his plane. I tried to run after him except I couldn't get past security. I cried more as I walked away from that spot. Danny waved, so I waved back slowly. I could also see small tears in his eyes. He turned around and headed for his plane. I just couldn't believe that he was leaving.

As for the throwing up, that sorta went away. I have no clue why this is happening. Anyway, I'm still packing for my leaving for college on Friday. I met my roommate already. Her name is Katie and she seems really sweet. Also, I'm going to my doctor in two weeks to find out why I'm feeling so horrible all the time. (A/N: By this time I'm guessing everyone knows what's gonna happen) But now that Danny's gone, I don't have anybody else to be with. Tuck is leaving tomorrow morning, which is really typical. Also, Hannah left yesterday afternoon. I'm in a slump.

I tried going to the pool again to work on my tan the next day. Didn't work. I was about maybe one shade darker. Anyway, I hung out at the house that afternoon by myself. It's lonely these days. Suddenly, my cell rang. I literally raced to it and anxiously picked it up.

"Hello?" I said impatiently

"Sam?"

"Danny? Is that you?"

"Yeah."

"It's so good to hear your voice again. I've been so bored lately. How's college?"

"We haven't started classes yet. This is just orientation."

"Oh, cool. Meet your roommate?"

"Yeah, he's cool."

"I guessed. I miss you so much, Danny."

"I miss you too honey."

He called me honey!

"Wait— no, ugh, I'm sorry."

"It's okay, I know what you mean," I said with a smile

"It's just— y'know."

"Yeah. With all the stuff happening. You just don't notice these things."

"Exactly. Speaking of which, I have to go unpack more. I'll see you soon. Bye, love ya."

"Danny—" the line was cut, "I love you too."

It's finally Friday. I boarded my plane and watched my parents waving from behind. They were headed off to the Carribean to celebrate the fact that I left for college. Joy for them. I sit down in my seat, which is unexpectedly in first class. My parents wanted me to be comfortable while they party it up. Anyway, this was my first taste of freedom. I didn't want it to end. As soon as I graduate, I'm getting my own apartment. Until then, I'll figure out why I have a sudden craving for pickles and ice cream. (A/N: I'm sorry! I just had to put that in there!)
