*the next day*
Cam's POV

Watching her get on that plane again was like deja vu. Same pain, same heart ache, but this time it felt like my fault. I had no idea saying those things in the arcade yesterday would make her so upset. I thought that in the moment she would finally fall for me, everything would finally fall into place and we would kiss and it would be like a fairytale. Instead I watched her run out the door, and I didn't get the chance to speak to her until this morning when all we shared was an empty goodbye.

Phoebe's POV
After what felt like the longest two hour flight of my life I finally landed in New York. The warm North Carolina weather soon left and in came the blistering New York City wind. I miss home already but I knew this day was coming, I knew I couldn't get away from my actual life forever. I took a cab back to my building and just my luck, the elevator was broke so I had to take the 8 flights of stairs up to my apartment. When I finally made it, I trudged my tired body into my apartment and collapsed onto my bed. As I felt my heavy eyes begin to close I heard a knock at my door and groaned.

"Can I just be left alone?" I complained to myself. I picked up my weak body and groggily opened the door and I was surprised to see the person on the other side.

"Hey Sammy." I slightly smiled

"Hi." He smiled and glanced at the floor, "I missed you so much."

"Yeah I missed you too Sammy." I replied a little less enthusiastically then him.

"Can I come in?" He pointed to the room behind me.

"Uh yeah sure." I hesitated and moved out of the door way. He came in cheerfully and made himself at home, plopping himself onto my couch. I sat down next to him and there was an awkward silence before Sammy's voice cut in.

"I really did miss you Pheebs. It was hard not seeing you for two weeks," I sighed.

"Listen Sammy....," trying to  interject.

"No please. Let me finish. I really like you," he grew closer to me, my stomach forming into a knot. "I knew you were special after that night we spent together," his face now almost inches from mine, his eyes beginning to close. Before our lips met I jumped up from the couch, receiving a confused look from Sammy.

"Look," I sat down next to him again, gaining his full attention, "Sammy I like you and you're a really nice guy but something these past weeks have taught me is that the feelings we think we have aren't always real." 

His eyes traced the ground and sighed, "is this about that guy that left you a message?" Wow what is it with people listening to my phone conversations?

"No Sammy. This is about the fact that you and I don't know each other very well. You don't know anything about my past, my family, or even what my favorite color is."

"But I can get to know you." He grabbed my hand, pleading with me.

"Sammy, you have to understand this is hard for me too, because a couple weeks ago I would've been happy to be with you, thrilled even," I sighed heavily, suddenly coming to my own epiphany, "because being with you would be easy. It doesn't require work or heartbreak but love isn't easy."

"Listen, I think you're really tired and I should've never tried to push all this on you," Sammy says, leading himself to the door, " I'll just give you some time, okay?" He gives a soft smile and I nod before closing the door, my body resting against the cold wood. Suddenly a huge weight fell onto my shoulders, I have a decision to make between two great guys. What am I going to do.
