"Ari, Ari," A voice came through the room, lights coming through the room as well. "Ari, it's time to wake up." Ari opened her eyes to see her grandmother. She sat up, rubbing her eyes. School was starting in two weeks, and Ari's Grandmother was getting her in the habit to wake up at six in the morning and heading to sleep early.

"Grandma? When's daddy or mommy coming back from work?" Ari asked. Ari's parents were always out on job trips because they were either movie directors, or a head of making music videos for all singers everywhere, even the no well known singers.

"Ari, they just left two days ago, they won't be back for a month. You know that already." Grandmother explained. Ari nodded in response. She just wanted her parents to be home when she would be starting highschool. She wasn't happy about highschool, she always hear bad stuff about it, thanks to her bother, who was now in collage and not home anymore. Ari sighed at the words of her grandmother.

"I know." She mumbled and her grandmother gave her a kiss on the forehead. Grandmother backed off and looked down at Ari.

"How about I make you some of your favorite breakfast and you just stay up here, I'll bring the breakfast up here to you." Grandmother explained. Ari nodded as her grandmother walked out o the room.

"Why is it so hard for my parents to just figure out that I need them?" Ari thought. She rolled her eyes and grabbed her phone off her night stand. Ari looked at the one message she missed. It was sent a minute ago by the one person who only care about her. Sam. He was the one who loved Ari with all his heart. Ari loved him back, and since they were now fourteen, they went out, but no one knew about it. Not even her Grammy, who knew everything.

From: Sam<3

Look out your window lovely! <3

Ari opened the shade more and looked at the house next door. Sam lived next door, which was a bonus for their relationship. Sam stood infront of the window and smiled. He waved and made a heart with his hand. He then grabbed his phone and called Ari.

"Hi Sammy!" Ari smiled out the window.

"Hey Arianna, how's my sweet heart this morning?" Sam asked her.

"Very good, now. How's my Sammy?" She giggled. He gave her a thumbs up and flipped his golden hair back and forth, making her giggle even more. He laughed into the phone and smiled at her.

"Babe, let's go the lake today. I have to tell you something inportant there." He said, his facial expression getting hard. She looked at him from across her room.

"Is everything alright?" She questioned him.

"Fine, just I'll be at your house in twenty minutes. Bye baby." He smiled at her, and she nodded, smiling back. They hung up the phone and he left his room, from what she saw. She closed the shade again and shut the door,did her hair, and she got dressed; wearing her bathing suit and tank top and shorts over it. She walked downstairs, and sat at the table. Her grandmother just finishing up the pancakes. She placed them on two plates, with everything Ari liked.

"Enjoy sweetie." Her grandmother smiled, and Ari nodded being happy. Soon, they finished off the pancakes, and Ari ran upstairs to brush her teeth quickly before Sammy came. The second she finished the doorbelle rang,and she could hear Grammy talking to Sam. She rushed downstairs, slipping on her flip flops.

"Ari, I'll see you later okay?" Grammy said to her, kissing her on the forehead.

"Okay, Grammy! See you later!" Ari kissed her cheek and left the house with Sam. They walked down to the lake, which was a few blocks away from their house. Once they reached the lake he smiled at her awkwardly.

"Sammy," Ari paused for a moment. "What's wrong?" He looked at her, tears starting to fall. She hugged him, making sure he wasn't hurt. "Sammy, why are crying?" She looked at him with a concerned look.

"I-I'm-" He cut himself off with tears.

"Sammy, if you're breaking up with me, I understand" She felt tears stinging in her own eyes.

"No, no sweetie! I would never do that to you!" Sam paused, wipping away his tears and building up the courage to say what was happening. "It's just that I'm-my family is moving. My father got a job somewhere else. Sadly, I can't stay here, with you. Now, sweetie don't cry. I'll be here until school starts. We have two weeks together. Now lets make the most of it." Sam gave her a weak smile. She nodded, and started playing with his hair. He took off his shirt and ran to the rope, that hung on the tree. He ran with it, then his body flew over the lake, and when he reach the middle of the lake with the rope he let go. He held his breath and finally fell in the water. Ari got up and looked at the bubbles rise from where Sam was. She started getting worried until she away his figure under the water. She took off her shirt and short, showing her bathing suit, and ran to the same rope. She did the same thing as Sammy and he meet with her.

"I love you, Sammy." Ari said.

"And I love you more, Arianna." Sam said and grabbed her hand as he went under water, bringing her with him. They locked lips under the water. Ari knew she was going to miss his lips after those two weeks were up, but for now, she had to make the most of it. They finally came up for air, a tear slipping down Ari's cheek. "Sweetie, no tears. I'm still here. I'll be in your heart when I'm gone too. I won't ever leave you." Sammy gave her a smile. She nodded as Sam wipped away her tear.

"How will I survive without my baby? Sammy, don't leave me!" Her heart ached.
