Flashback to 2 years ago..

Maddie POV:

"Hey mom, hey dad" I said as I was walking down the stairs to them sitting on the couch. They both had the look of guilt on their faces and I knew something was up.

"What's going on..?" I said with a lot of concern in my voice.

My mom chose to speak up.

"Honey, sit down.."

Oh shit please tell me this isn't the dreaded "sex talk."

I did as I was told and threw myself on to the love seat. "Okay what is it?" I said with fear in my eyes.

"Madz, were moving...."

Those words literally changed my life forever.

-------------

I don't know how I'm going to tell Sam that I'm moving 2,000 miles away from him. I know he will be crushed. I know that he will be alone.

Sam and I have been friends for 8 years. We've been friends since the first day of first grade when he first moved here.

I text Sam and ask him to come over. The quickly texted back with " k" and I sat on my bed waiting for him to come.

Not much later, I heard my door creak open and see Sam pop his head in. "Hey" he said sitting next to me on bed. "Sam I'm moving." I said breaking down into tears....

"To where Madison?" with concern in his eyes also calling me Madison, I rarely go by.

"Chicago" I said trying to catch my breath. Leaving him is going to be the hardest thing about this whole situation.

" N-n-no you a-aren't, y-you can't be." His voice was hitched and I saw a tear glide down his cheek.

"Sam I'm sorry" I said asking him for a hug.

He didn't accept, got up, and left the house within seconds.

Sam POV:

I can't believe she's moving. She's my best friend, she's helped me with bullies and coping with stress. She's my everything and I don't want her to leave. Then I got a text.

I'm leaving Sunday. - Madz<3

Well today was Friday..

What if Maddie wanted to move? What if she's moving to replace me. If she really wanted to stay then she knows she can live with me. I've told her many times before. Maybe she never listened.

Since what she's doing is not in my favor then I'm not going to be in hers.

I'm just going to block her out for the hardest two days of my life.

Maddie POV:

It's Saturday night and I'm leaving tomorrow morning. Sam hasn't talked to me yesterday or today and I'm starting to get worried. I sent him back to back texts, calls, and even knocks on the door. I just wanted to spend time with my best friend before I leave.

I finish packing and I'm ready to put everything and everyone behind me to move to Chicago.

----------

I wake up in the morning and text Sam that I'm leaving at nine. I told him to come over at 8 if he wanted to say goodbye. Sam is an early riser and I know he gets up at 6:30 every morning.

I check my phone for a response a few minutes later and it said he read it. It's 7:45 now so if he comes he will be here in 15 minutes.

I grab a banana and a granola bar and sit down to watch spongebob. Before I knew it, it was 8:15 and still no Sam.

Then there was a knock at my door. I run off the couch and through the hallways to see my Sam. I open the door and no ones there except for a note. I open it and it says

"Don't forget about what's in California. In other words, don't forget about me. Maddie I love you and I have since we first met. Goodbye Madz.

I love you, Sam."

I felt a whole bunch of tears sodden my eyes. Why didn't he tell me? Why didn't I realize? I stare at that note until my mom said it was time to go. I get in my car and look out the window. I started to cry when we passed Sammie's house.

He may have loved me, but little did he know, I loved him too.
