One year later,

Isaiah Briscoe helped his girlfriend pack for the trip back home to Canada since he had to move back to be with his family till the NBA draft starts. Jamal was crying when he knew he had to leave the dorm. All he had was his SpongeBob plush toy that he brought when he went to the University of Kentucky to attend the same university as his boyfriend. However, they know in their hearts that they will see each other again. Thus, Jamal's family were there to pick him up to head back to Canada until the NBA draft. The rest of the teammates decided to help him with the packing. In the meantime, Isaiah would still feel the imprints that Jamal had made when they were playing for the Kentucky Wildcats. Although, they will keep in touch. 3 hours after the packing, they loaded it in the car of Jamal's family since he was leaving the University to go back to Canada.

"Mom, before I leave, I'm going to say goodbye to my friend," "Okay Jamal, no rush," His mother lets him have a talk with his friend. Jamal goes to the campus as he and Isaiah were talking next to the Mulberry Area. "I wanted you to thank you for everything you've done and all the greatest things we did together and I'm sad to share that I'm leaving the dorm," Jamal smiled thanking his teammate and boyfriend for everything. "Anytime Jamal and if there's anything you need to vent and have any problems, we can always keep in touch. Not only that, I am proud of the person you've become," "Same to you Isaiah and we did everything together," They smiled at each other despite of the ups and downs that they went through, Isaiah was lucky to have him as his girlfriend. When Jamal was about to leave the University of Kentucky, he took out his phone to call Isaiah.

Isaiah Briscoe: Jamal babe? What's up?

Jamal Murray: Isaiah? I really need to talk to you.

Isaiah Briscoe: What happened?

Jamal Murray: I'll miss you 😢.

Isaiah Briscoe: I'll miss you too!

Jamal runs to him with the tears on his face and hugs Isaiah.

Isaiah Briscoe: Hey maybe I can visit you to Canada.

Jamal Murray: wait! You are?

Isaiah Briscoe: Yeah. Besides, I'll see you anyway.

Jamal Murray: Alright.

Before he left, they hugged one last time as Isaiah Briscoe tells him. "Don't worry Jamal, we will see each other again," "Okay and take care Isaiah," "You too," He and Isaiah went on their separate ways as he heads back to Canada to be with his family.

~ 2 weeks passed ~

Jamal calls Isaiah on the phone while he was relaxing in his bedroom. "Hello?" He picked up his phone. "Oh Hi Jamal, is that you?" Isaiah heard the familiar voice on his phone. "Yes Isaiah, it's me. I'm so sorry I didn't get a chance to answer all of your calls and texts," He said expressly. "That's okay Jamal, I know you were busy, so what's up with you?" Jamal had explained to Isaiah that he made it official on why he had declared for an NBA draft. "Actually, I made it official that I'm declaring for an NBA draft," "Wait! You are?" He nodded at his boyfriend's question. "Oh my goodness! That's amazing! Do you know who they can select you for the NBA draft?" Isaiah follows. "No not yet. Although, I hope they'll select me to any different team so that we can play together," He added. "Besides, if we could do anything in our lives, we would have some more fun," He smiles hearing the voice once again. Although, Isaiah Briscoe would plan to visit Canada just to see his girlfriend. He looks at the phone screen of him and Jamal playing at the fun house together when they fell on each other's backs. Plus, they went to the arcade together. In fact, Isaiah Briscoe would have the best time of their lives. Somehow, Isaiah would always think that one day he will take Jamal will him to the beach.

One night,

Isaiah was in his room when his phone rang,

Isaiah Briscoe: Jamal?

Jamal Murray: Hi, sorry to bother you, but can I talk?

Isaiah Briscoe: sure! What's up?

Jamal Murray: are you coming to Canada?

Isaiah Briscoe: Unfortunately, I can't make it, but I promise you, I'll see you in the draft.

Jamal Murray: Okay

Isaiah Briscoe: I know, I feel bad.

Jamal Murray: Why?

Isaiah Briscoe: it's just that I don't think it would work.

Jamal Murray: what? When did you decide that you weren't going to Canada?

Isaiah Briscoe: Jamal, I know I was about to but you know how I couldn't make the most out of the- Jamal I'm sorry I didn't think you would be hearing this.

Jamal Murray: I can't believe you! 💔

Isaiah Briscoe: Jamal, please hear me out!

Jamal ends the phone call.

Isaiah Briscoe: Jamal? Damn it 😢

He couldn't believe what had happened and all he could do was to plan on how he could make it up to him. However, this will be the time to make it up in the NBA draft.
