Sam’s POV
I hate goodbyes. Not only do I suck at them but they make me feel so bad. Perhaps it is one of the reasons I tend not to build strong relationships. Because I know that I’d have to get away from those whom I cared about eventually. I sat in the kitchen, waiting for everybody to wake up. I had already packed everything up. So all I had to do was make breakfast. I decided to get to it so that I could get my mind off it. I made pancakes and also whipped up some cookie dough and baked it into golden brown round cookies. I figured Emily would need the extra dose of sugar today.
As the sweet smell of freshly baked cookies filled the air, Emily made her way to the kitchen with Damon in her hands and Jason in tow.
“Mmm what smells so good?” Emily asked me as she sat at the table.
“Cookies and pancakes!” I told her as I put on the oven mittens and got out the cookies.
“I could really get used to this.” Jason said as I placed the cookies on a tray for them to eat.
“Well… That’s what I needed to talk to you about. It’s time for me to leave.” I said going straight to the point.
“What?” Emily asked, diverting her attention from cooling the cookie on her plate to looking bewildered at me.
“I said I-“
“Don’t say it again. I heard you the first time! Why?” She interrupted me.
“You know me. I never stick around long enough. It’s time for me to take off.”
“Come on Sam, we’re a family now! You can’t leave!”
“Don’t worry. I’m going to leave you the house and the car.” I interjected, trying to calm her down.
“Do you really think this is about money or stuff? Sam you’re my best friend. I don’t know what I would do without you!”
“Em, do you remember what I told you when you moved in? I’m not the one to form bonds. It’s time for me to go. Period. I’m really sorry if it upsets you and I realise that this is my fault for letting you get attached to me. Plus, I’m sure that Jason and you would like some private time.”
“Yeah, but not at the expense of kicking you out of your own house! Is this the reason why you’re moving? Please don’t, I need you.”
“No, you don’t. Emily’ you’re a strong, independent and smart woman. You can do everything you want to if you set your mind to it. And now you have two guys make you happier.” I said glancing at Jason who had Damon in his hands. He smiled kindly at me.
“I’ll miss you so much, Sam.” She said and hugged me tightly.
“Yeah, me too.” I said and hugged her back. My eyes felt moist and my heart hurt as if it was shrinking.
