A World Apart.

If For a Day.

I woke up and wanted to be taken back to my sleep, the place where I could be with Sam, the place where I could escape my reality, where I could escape the pain. I gazed to my phone and noticed 2 new messages from Sam, they read "Good morning pretty lady", "I have a suprise for you if you wanna ft... hehe :)" I called him and noticed he was in his kitchen, he looked back at his phone and showed me a plate of golden brown pancakes he had made. "I made them for you, this took me awhile to master cause I wanted them to be perfect for you." Sam said. My eyes slightly watered but quickly stopped as I asked him why. "Because..... I talked to your dad the other night, and he said that if I bought the tickets I could fly you out to Miami. But if you don't want to come I totally understand," Sam said cheerfully. I was shocked, I couldn't speak my mouth just hanged open as he starred at my face through a screen. "Hello? Alyssa? Are you ok?" Sam slightly laughed. I instantly said "Sam... I can't wait. When can I come out." Sam smiled, "As soon as I can affored to fly you out. Which should only be like a few weeks, 2 at most. Kinda crazy right?"  "Crazy?" I said. "Yea, in a few weeks you can actually eat my pancakes. I will make you new ones by the way, I won't make you eat these old ones." Sam joked. I giggled in excitment and told Sam I had to go. "Ok, i'll talk to you later, have an amazing day pretty girl." Sam spoke softly. I hung up the phone and sighed in joy. I only imagined what we would do once I flew out to Miami, swim in the ocean at 2am, cuddle all night, obviously eat his delicious pancakes. I imagined sitting next to him as he drove down the road suddenly stopping and looking into my eyes and telling me he was in love with me, my heart dropped. I felt truely excited for the day.
I got dressed then walked out into the living room to grab my bag so I could leave for school, my dad looked at me and smiled. I smiled back and ran up to him and hugged him, I wispered into his ear, "thank you." He just smiled as I walked out the door. I began walking to Liam's house wanting to tell him the news, as I walked up to his house he walked out the door smiling. "Heyyyy Alyssa, how was your sleep?" Liam said cheerfully. "Good thanks for asking, why are you so smiley?" I said in curiosity. Liam never answered he just asked me about the homework completely changing the subject, I didn't question it again and never got to mention my trip. The day went by until eventually me and Liam were walking home, I was on my phone while Liam talked about this girl he liked for a long time now, I didn't pay much attention of it though I was more focused on writting down the things me and Sam would do once I was in Miami.
I walked into the house to see my dad sitting at the table, and across from him my mom. My throat began to feel dry, and it was hard to breath. My mom slowly looked up at me, she tried to smile, but it wasn't a good effort. "Your mother is clean, and will be staying with us again. Come say hi honey!" My dad said trying to make the best out of the situation. I didn't say a word, I dropped my bag and walked into my room, thats where I stayed for the night. I texted Sam telling him about what happened. He replied saying "Common babs, I know this is gonna be tough. But shes your mom, if shes clean that means shes trying. It's better than losing her, trust me that hurts more. But maybe try and think of all the things we'll do once you come to Miami." I was. I sat there and just imagined every detail until I fell asleep into a dream where everything I imagined was happening. If for 1 day I could be with him. I would be happy.

If only thats how my story could end.
