"I thought you'll stay longer in LA" I looked down at my hands on my lap

"I'm sorry princess" Jamie sighed and zipped his suitcase

"So you'll leave just like that? You will leave and I won't see you another two years?" I tried to hold my tears

James hugged me when he saw my insecurity

"You're leaving like nothing happened these past days" I sobbed into his shirt.

I don't know why I didn't ask him sooner. Maybe it was because I actually hoped he'd stay with me and study some college in LA

"I can't stay. You know better than anyone else" James said in a soft voice and stroked my back

"I feel like all this didn't mean anything to you" I whispered and took a deep breath when he let me go

"The hell in means the world to me. I could finally see you. I know we made a deal to not text each other while I'm gone but shit, it was tough" he put a strand of my hair behind my ear "you don't know how much I've missed your kisses, your touch" James stroked my cheek "Remember you're my bad girl yeah? You're the strongest I know. Don't forget that"

I nodded and wiped the tears under my eyes "I'm gonna miss you" I bit my lip so I won't start crying again

"I'm gonna miss you too. We'll see each other on spring brake, I promise" James packed my lips before standing up "I love you" he said before walking out of the room with a suitcase in his hand

I started crying again right after he closed the door. I have to be strong for us but this makes me feel miserable and useless

A door knock made me raise my head.

I expected Jamie giving me a final kiss before leaving but it was Tom, softly walking into my room

"Hey, how's your hand?" I wiped my tears and smiled

"I'm sorry" he sat next to me

"For what?"

"That he had to leave. I know you liked him" Tom looked deep into my eyes

"It was like that too, when he left for the first time. It'll be better after some time" I pursed my lips and looked at James's shirt he forgot to remind me about

I felt the material between my fingers "he had to leave. It was his mom's last wish for Jamie- to graduate from medical college and become a doctor" I couldn't but cry again

"I thought I saw Grace talking to her parents on the gala"

"Her dad found a new wife. It's been over four years since she died" I sobbed

"I had no idea" Tom shook his head

"She's our little sunshine but she has past like everyone" I took a deep breath and stood up "you didn't come when I texted you" I started to pack my stuff

"I wanted you to say goodbye to Jamie so you won't regret it" I turned to look at him

"Thanks" I mumbled "I appreciate it"

"I owed him" Tom raised his hurt hand making me chuckle

"At least you're even now" I walked closer to him

"Not at everything but yeah" Tom tilted his head

I put my hands on his shoulders "what do you mean?"
