It was my last day in Virginia. When I woke up I was so tired because I hadn't slept the night before. This was the day that I was going to say goodbye to my perfect life, my perfect friends, and my perfect boyfriend.

I got ready slowly and it was 8 o'clock when I went downstairs to eat breakfast, my last one in Virginia. After breakfast I went over to Jacob's house.

I hesitated before knocking on his front door.

"Do not cry, Alice. You gotta stay strong." I told myself. Then Jacob opened the door. I couldn't help myself. I burst into tears after looking in his eyes and collapsed in his arms.

He dragged me to a sitting position on the front door and I sat there in his arms crying. This was my last day with Jacob Sartorius.

After a few minutes, I sat up and held his hands. He looked at me, and looked like he was trying to hold back tears.

"I don't want to leave Virginia." I said, my voice cracking. He nodded.

"I don't want you to leave either." Jacob said, his voice strained. A tear leaked out of his eye and he quickly wiped it away. "I love you."

"I love you too." I said hugging him.

"When's your flight?" he asked me when we separated. I wiped my face.

"11 o'clock." I said. He looked so sad. So was I.

"What will happen to us?" he asked. I was hoping this question wouldn't come up.

"I don't know." I said honestly. He sighed.

"You just can't leave. I love you! We all love you!" Jacob said exasperatedly. Another tear leaked out of my eye. Then his face lit up. "What about long distance relationship?"
I smiled faintly. "I'd love to Jacob, but usually those relationships don't work out and--"
"Please Alice." he begged me. He grabbed my hand. "Can we just try? I will text you everyday, FaceTime you when I can, love you every second--"

"Jacob," I said cutting him off. He looked at me, his face filled with anxiousness. "I will try a long distance relationship with you."

His face lit up. He took me into his arms and squeezed me. I squeezed him back, knowing that I won't hug him for much longer.
