My Life with the Boys

Chapter 9- Junior Year (Almost)

Yes! It was finally summer! And that means no school. God, I hate school. Whose idea was it to gather a bunch of kids and put them in a building with uncomfortable chairs whilst the adults stand around talking about boring shit? Or even worse. Making you do work or even exams. Well anyway, now I don't have to worry about that for three glorious months. I just have to worry about making sure not to get sunburnt, and what fun activity to do every day. Oh and saying goodbye to my amazing boyfriend who is off to college soon.

"Wow. I think we just keep on getting better and better." I pant all sweaty laying on my bed.

"Yeah, definitely. I am going to miss you." Brett says lying next to me.

Well that just killed my good mood. "Me too." I say sadly.

"There is something I have to tell you." Brett looks at me seriously.

"What is it?"

"I just found out that they want me to go early for football practice." Brett was going to Florida State on a football scholarship which was a long way from here. A long way from me.

"When do you leave?" I roll over to curl up next to him.

"Monday."

"That's only three days away. I thought we were going to get the whole summer together before you go." I pout.

"I know. I am sorry. I only just found out yesterday." He frowns.

"I think we should break up." I suddenly blurt out.

"What?" he sits up shocked. "Because I told you I leave in three days?"

"No. Yes. Sort of." I mumble. "Because I don't think the whole long distance thing is going to work. I really like you Brett. But I am not in love with you. And I just don't see it lasting with us across the country. And I am not going to tell you not to go because that is unfair to you. This is a great opportunity for you and you should be excited. You should be able to have the whole college experience. Go out drinking and hook up with girls. Not sitting around in your dorm skyping me or something. I don't want to hold you back. And I don't want to be here worrying about you getting to drunk and cheating on me or something."

"You wouldn't be holding me back."

"Yes. I would. And we both know it. I think it would just be fairer on both of us to end it now on a happy note instead of trying to hold onto something and both being miserable and drift apart." I continue.

"You right." He frowns. "I just really like you and will miss you a lot." He leans in to kiss me.

"We can still be friends?" I suggest. "I still want to know how your life is going and how college goes."

He grins. "Friends sounds good. But one last thing. Before we go to being just friends. One more time? Like a goodbye?" he says suggestively.

"Oh, definitely." I grin before kissing him hard.

Who knew that goodbye sex would be so good?

"She is alive!" Sam announces.

After saying goodbye to Brett I decided to drive over to Noah's house where all the boys were chilling by the pool.

I roll my eyes at Sam's comment.

"So how is lover boy?" Noah teases me.

They have all been obsessed with my relationship lately. I think it is because they are all single and bored so my love life is more interesting than theirs. Or because I am pretty sure they worked out that Brett and I were sleeping with each other. Though, that isn't too hard to work out. We had sex. A lot. Like once or twice a day. I am amazed that my parent's never caught us. Though his mum caught us once. Talk about awkward.
