Two months had passed. It was March. Graduation was two months away. Sam had been busy the last couple months preparing to leave for London. She was so glad Randy was supportive of the idea. Sam was just pulling in her driveway returning from school. She was walking into her house. John came outside.
"Sammy!" He yelled from acrossed the street. She stopped.
"What?"
"Come here." She went acrossed the street and into the house.
"What's up?"
"I got a letter from Springfield College."
"The one in Massachusetts?"
"Yeah."
"I know you really wanna go to that school." "Have you read the letter yet?"
"No." He picked it up and handed it to her. "I want you to open it."
"Me?"
"Yeah."
"Ok." She took it and opened it. "Oh man."
"What?"
"You got in."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"Yes."
"Congratulations." They hugged.
"Thanks." "I'm gonna miss you next year."
"John you're not gonna get all mushy on me are you?"
"I might."
"I'm gonna miss you to." "Apart from AJ you're my best friend."
"Well apart from Randy you're my best friend."
"Aw that's sweet." "I know you'll miss him to next year."
"Yeah." "It won't be the same without either of you."
"You know one of the things I'm gonna miss the most?"
"What?"
"Well your house has always been a sanctuary of sorts for me." "Ever since I was little I could come here and you always made me feel better."
"Next year for the first time in my life I won't have that." "I won't even be in the same country."
"You know I'm only a phone call away."
"I know."
"Does Randy know you spend the night here sometimes?"
"No." "He wouldn't understand."
"I don't think he would either."
"Not like there's anything to tell." "I mean we've never done anything."
"No but I've always wanted to because I'm in love with you." He thought. "Yeah but it would sound kind of funny." "How would this sound if you were Randy?" "Hey Randy every once in awhile Sammy sneaks over to my house as an escape from her problems." "She sleeps in my room but we don't do anything we swear."
"Yeah that does sound bad when you put it like that."
"What Randy doesn't know won't hurt him."
A few nights later Sam and Randy were laying in her bed. Both of her parents were gone.
"I got into the University Of Michigan." Randy said.
"That's great." "I'm so proud of you." "Did you get the football scholarship?"
"Yeah." Sam noticed a strange look on Randy's face.
"What's wrong baby?"
"I need to talk to you." "I should've did it before we had sex." "Sam- They heard the front door open downstairs.
"Anybody home?" They heard her Sam's mom say.
"Fuck she's early." Sam whispered. They hurried up and got dressed. Sam went downstairs first. "Hi mom."
"Hi where's Randy?" Her mom said.
"He's in the bathroom." A few seconds later he came down.
"Well I'm gonna go home." Randy said. He gave Sam a kiss. "Bye."
"Bye." Sam said. "I love you."
"I love you to."
The next night Sam was in her room doing homework. There was a knock on her bedroom door.
"Come in." She said. Randy walked in. "Hey baby." She said smiling. "I wasn't excepting you."
"I know." He sat on the bed next to her. "Sam we need to talk."
"Alright."
"I've been thinking about this a lot the last couple months." "You know I love you." "It's just we've been together a long time." "I think it's best to explore other options then just us."
"What?" She said completely shocked. "You're breaking up with me?"
"I think we should."
"No we shouldn't." She said with tears in her eyes. She started to cry. "If this about London I won't go." "I'll stay in the states."
"It's not about London I want you to go." "It's not you, it's me."
"Don't do this Randy." She said as she continued to cry. "Please." "I love you."
"I know." "I'm sorry Samantha." He got up and left. She laid on her bed and sobbed.
