I'll see you again soon...

Immy's POV

You could say a lot has happened in the last few months.

I met a boy.

An amazing boy.

I played in the Junior Olympics and made so many amazing memories that will be with me until the day I die. 

I also met an amazing group of hockey players who I can safely say are my friends for life, and my family.

About a month after our championship win against Iceland, the Ducks team is offered a scholarship to The Eden Hall Academy. I even believe coach attended this school. 

Now, being offered a chance to attend a prestigious school is one thing. But being offered to attend a prestigious school AND board there WITH your long distance boyfriend is just the highlight of my teenage years, honestly. So to say I was beyond excited was an understatement.

Just the idea of being able to see Adam everyday made my heart leap for joy. 

Once the JGWGs ended we all eventually had to pack up our things and leave. While I was able to drive home within the matter of under an hour, Adam had to board a plane all the way back to Minnesota.

Over 1000 miles away.

Thats a 30 hour drive. 

Insert sad face here please.

Before he left we were able to go on our second date. We had a picnic date at the beach and watched the sunset. I may have cried a little.

Ok. Fine. A lot. I was sad that my new hunky boyfriend was leaving me to go home!

We ate pizza and tonnes of ice cream to drown our sadness. We cuddled a lot and made out for god knows how long, and damn girl when I tell you his lips are soft .....

AnYwhOOOOO.....

I know for a FACT that you bitches would love to hear all about it so here's a little flashback...

*2 months ago*

Adam has his hand firmly clasped in mine as we walk down the street towards the beach. I can see the ocean slowly getting larger as we make our way towards it. 

Adam and I are in no rush to get there, it's as if we are trying to make time move in slow motion to delay tomorrow morning from happening when I'll be hugging him goodbye at the airport. 

I look up to stare at his gorgeous face like the creepy stalker girlfriend I am. The sun shines down on him, softly highlighting his perfect facial features. It's like god sent down my own personal angel tbh. 

He catches me staring and I look away blushing, he nudges me playfully. 

"Staring at my good looks are we?" He chuckles,

I roll my eyes, "Nah just the massive booger up your nose," I say calmly while shrugging my shoulder.

He laughs and shakes his head. 

Damn I wish he fell for that. 

Before we know it we reach the beach, just as the sun is starting to set, slowly changing the clouds in the sky from white to yellow and pink. 

Beautiful.

We sat with each other in silence for a bit, but we knew the serious conversation had to happen sooner or later. 

"What are we gonna do now?" I ask Adam, doubt slowly flooding my mind.

A 30 hour drive is such a long way away, especially for a new couple. Is what we have serious enough to stay committed to one another? I know I want to give everything my all because I've never felt like this with anyone before. 

But I don't want him to feel pressured into anything. Especially if he doesn't feel the same way as I do.

Thats how people get cheated on, and get heart broken. 

I think he could tell that I was starting to freak out, so he grabbed my chin and made me look into his eyes.

The now pink and purple sky swimming in his irises. A gorgeous site to behold, really.

He gave me a small, yet reassuring smile.

"Immy, I know you're probably overthinking a lot of things right now ..."

Uh huh...

"I want you to know I don't doubt my feeling for you one bit. I know 30 hours is a long way away, especially for two young teenagers who can't drive yet and are still in school."

I nod my head, anxiety slowly flooding out of my system as I drink up his soft, sunset-lit features.

"Besides all that, I'll be damned if I don't try and give us a shot. I have never met anyone like you in my entire life, no one has made me feel the way you do, butterflies and all."

My cheeks blush at his last comment. His eyes are staring into my soul and I feel completely vulnerable, but I can't bring myself to look away. 

"Immy, I want to keep dating and keep whatever it is we have going because I know how I feel about you is real, and it's strong. Sure we may have difficulties, but we can cross those mountains when we get to them." His speaks with complete reassurance and determination, while gliding his finger along my cheek to catch the stray tear that escaped my eye. 

I was so overwhelmed with emotion I kind of forgot how to talk, I laughed and cried at the same time and he held me close to his chest until I calmed down. 

I pulled away and faced him once again, I didn't need to say anything, I think my eyes gave him my answer. Of course I wanted to keep what we had going. Long distance and all.

His head slowly inches closer to mine, our noses almost touching. My breath hitches and I bite the corner of my lip anxiously. His eyes shoot down to them, and back up to me again. He brings his thumb to my bottom lip and tugs it away from my teeth. 

He turns his head slightly, his lips only millimetres away form mine. I could hear my head beating in my eyes at how close he was. When I didn't move away, he took that as permission to seal the space between us.

His soft lips connected with mine and pure bliss erupted within me. His hand cupped my cheek as his lips slowly moved with mine. 

This wasn't like any typical hormonal teenager kiss though, it wasn't rough, or dominating or filled with tongue, it was sweet and reassuring and spoke many words. 

It was if he was saying he loved me with his lips...

But he can't love me yet... can he?

Do i?
