The next day

"Wooooooo wait a minute! Go back a second…" Philby exclaimed.

"Well, we were kissing and"

"No, after that" Philby interrupted before Finn could continue with the details he didn't need.

"Oh" Finn chuckled "she said 'maybe I don't have to go to California"

"Ok, wow. What happened after that?" Philby asked.

"I didn't say anything, I just stared at her and she left."

"Wow"

"I know" Finn sighed as he put his head back against the wall.

There was a slight pause in the conversation before Philby spoke up. "Do you think she was serious?"

Finn scoffed "I don't know anymore. Either way, she's going to California."

"What do you mean?"

Finn's face saddened, "I won't let her stay here for me."

…

"You said what?"

"Calm down Jess…"

"You told your boyfriend you don't have to go to California and you want me to calm down!"

"What's the big deal? I'll just stay here so we don't have to go through the separation…"

"Amanda" Jess calmed down and said softly "You have to go."

"No, I don't" Amanda replied calmly.

"He won't let you do this" Jess raised an eyebrow. Amanda realized Jess was probably right. "You know I'm right."

"He'll be happy about this" Amanda tried to convince herself of this fact, but it wasn't working.

"Want a bet?" Jess asked as she ran downstairs and opened the front door.

"She didn't…" Amanda whispered to herself.

Jess soon returned with Finn behind her. "Of course I called him" Jess answered Amanda's questioning face.

Finn wore a serious face as he approached Amanda. He turned around to send Jess a look that said 'thanks but I can take it from here.' She quietly made her way out before Finn started talking. "I won't let you do this."

"Finn, no. Let me do this, for us. It'll make things easier and we don't have to deal with any crap."

"Who said life was going to be easy?" Finn chuckled "We have to move on with our lives outside of our comfort zone, which involves you going to California."

"I'm scared" Amanda whispered as she hung her head "that we won't make it."

Finn finally realized why Amanda was so reluctant to move away. He knew without a doubt they could make it work, considering all they'd been through together already. "We will. I'll be here, waiting for you. I won't let us break, I promise."

Amanda giggled a little "You have gotten better at keeping your promises…"

"I'm not going anywhere" he said, turning to the matter at hand. Amanda just stared at him with sad eyes, knowing he was telling the truth.

"I know."

Finn smiled down at his beautiful girlfriend, "So, why don't you tell me more about this internship."

One month till graduation! What will happen? I DON'T KNOW EITHER! I apologize if some of your hopes were high that Amanda was staying in Florida…
