The Same

Chapter 20

~about a year later~
{Sam's POV}

To say I thought about her a lot would be an understatement. She never left my mind. After she moved to Maine, I was just in shock. I didn't know what to do with myself. I felt like texting her, but it would just hurt me more to talk to her with the knowledge that I'll never be able to hug her and kiss her and whisper in her ear and do the things with her that had seemed so little before. You don't really realize how much the little things mean until they're gone.

Anyway, I was up in Boston doing something I couldn't really believe I was doing.

I was sitting in a room waiting to audition for American Idol.

And I was freaking out.

No matter how hard I tried to calm down, I couldn't. Since April left, I found it hard to calm down. She seemed to be the only one that could make my hands stop shaking with just her eyes.

Ok, Sam. Stop thinking about her. Think about the music. It's about the music. I started to calm down a little, but I was still pretty nervous by the time my name was called.

Wait. My name was called.

I jumped up and followed the hallway into the room where either my life could change or my self-esteem could be ruined.

It's either a yes or a no. And it's time to find out.

•••

I couldn't keep the smile off of my face as I hugged Papa Roy, golden ticket in hand.

"I knew you could do it, Sam!" he smiled at me, and in that moment I knew that my life would never be the same again.

It wasn't, but American idol wasn't the only reason.

"Sam?"

I knew that voice. I whirled around and my heart skipped a beat before I ran into her arms and spun her in a circle.

"I missed you so much," I mumbled into her ear.

I held onto her until Papa Roy came over to see what was going on.

"Well, if it isn't the Ms. April Waxler! What are you doing here?"

She gave him one of her amazing smiles I had missed so much and said, "Well, I'm auditioning for American Idol, Mr. Woolf."
