Sam is coming to see us onto the plane.Then i have to wait another YEAR till i can get a plane to come back to France to see him. Who knows what will have happened by then? He might have a French girlfriend by next year for all i know! It didn't really strike me that this was maybe the last time i would see the love of my life......

My mum is finishing packing up all our clothes and toiletries to take back home and dad is trying to get his suitcase closed. But I'm just sitting in my room, watching all the people having fun in the sunshine and the dogs barking happily to their owners,waiting for Sam. I'm trying to work out what to say to him,it's the hardest thing i have ever had to do. It's quarter to twelve which means only fifteen minutes till the torture. I haven't got dressed,brushed my hair or put any make up on today which makes the whole 'feeling horrible thing' WORSE. I wish i didn't have to do this and could just hide away in a cupboard until i have to go to catch the plane! I need to get dressed and stop thinking about what I'm going to say to Sam for a minute.....but what do i have to be so nervous about anyway? He knows I'm leaving today and he should know that I'm going to be really upset,after all,this could be the last time i see him for a while.

"Sarah,Sam is here!!" My mum was screaming the words, deliberately doing that 'aw how cute!' voice. You know that voice where you talk really loudly and high pitched?.....no?

"Coming mum,I'm just going to bring down my bags!" I was screaming back.

"Ooh and sweetheart,i need to come and see your horse! She sounds gorgeous from what Sam has said!" I think we really shouldn't go and see Magic. She might scare Sam and Magic away before i can say goodbye! I would rather we all could just go to the airport. I picked up my bags and started walking down the wooden,creaky,stairs. When i got down the stairs, i saw my dad looking at Sam up and down,almost as if he was scanning him with his eyes. Very strange. I dropped my bags as soon as i saw Sam and walked over to him almost knocking my mum over! He is a bit taller than me so he lifted me up to his height and said "Are you ready gorgeous?"

"I think so" I smiled but we both knew that i really wasn't ready to leave,i really wasn't. This was all going so fast!  

"Ok then! We better hurry,the plane is in two hours and we want to get there in plenty of time. Sorry hunny,i don't think we will be able to see Magic today but Sam,maybe you could send some pictures of Magic to Sarah? Then we could see what she looks like." Dad looked at Sam with his eyebrows raised,he looked like a cartoon character! 

"Of course Mr Fortly" Sam is soooo polite and cute! I was looking around the corridor we were standing in,at the blank walls. Even though i was only staying here for about two weeks,it felt like home a bit. I laughed because they were all wondering why i was looking at the walls!  "Let's go then?" I think that has been the first time i have laughed all day.

Mum wanted to stop of for a drink on the way to the airport and now we are very late for the plane. In fact,we have got half an hour till the plane leaves and we aren't even at the airport yet! Dad is driving so fast that i think we have broken the limit by at least thirty miles an hour and I'm feeling really sick. Sam is sitting next to me in the car and we are really squished because the car is really only meant for two people in the back. But because the boot is full,mum and dad had to pile up their suitcases next to me and Sam. I'm starting to feel claustrophobic! I don't think we are even half way to the airport,GRR. At least Sam is next to me,holding my hand. I really want to kiss him but my parents will probably embarrass me even more (if that is possible?). 

"Sarah,stop shaking your legs,you will be ok!" Leave me alone dad? He can obviously see that i don't want to leave France but he isn't saying anything nice to me today. I think he is a bit annoyed that Sam is coming to the airport with us and wants to ditch him as soon as possible. He better not kick Sam out of the car!

"Ok! The plane is leaving in twenty minutes and we are less than ten minutes away from the airport. I think we will make it!" If mum hadn't stopped for a drink we wouldn't have to put up with dad's reckless driving. I hope she just shuts up.

Five minutes till the plane leaves which means five minutes to say bye to Sam. Dad started running to the ticket booth to see what seats we were in and mum was running after him with all our suitcases. Haha she just dropped dad's suitcase and it exploded with all his underwear  flying onto the floor! Right,stop laughing at dad's underwear and focus Sarah,ypu need to say bye to Sam,the love of your life. I was turning round to Sam really slowly, smiling but in a sad sort of way. 

"Sam,i have had the greatest two weeks of my life with you and I'm never going to forget ANY of it. When i come back next year,i hope we can just start from where we left. Maybe you can teach me and Magic some new tricks?" I grabbed his hand and kissed him on the lips. 

"Of course Sarah,i have a few tricks i can teach you! But before you leave i must tell you that you are the most beautiful girl in the world. You are my one and only." Tears were welling up in both of our eyes! He started kissing me again,running his fingers through my hair. 

"Sarah,the plane is leaving now,we have to go." My mum said a word that i hate. 'Go' . Buckets of tears were pouring down my cheeks. Sam started crying to,i had never seen him cry before.

"Sarah, i love you with all my heart" He was looking at my water-filled eyes and i was looking at his.

"I lov-" I didn't even get to finish my sentence because my parents started running to the plane,dragging me along as if i was a little child. I looked back at Sam who had put his head in his hands and started walking away. I felt awful. Next minute i was boarding a white plane,sitting down on a blue chair and putting my seat belt on.

I was rumaging in my suitcase for a white bit of paper,probably crumpled up and torn now........found it. I got a pen out of my pocket and started filling in the gaps.
