'Never Again' (Jack Gilinsky)

43. End of this Month

43. End of this Month

Sam's P.O.V.

About 1 week ago, I got this call from University of Southern California (USC) saying they want me to attend their college. It all started when we had a basketball game against them. We lost but I guess I was good enough because they want me. I couldn't turn down an offer like this so I gladly accepted. I wasn't thinking when I said yes because after the call I realized that I would have to leave Alana, Jack, Jack, and all my other friends. I don't think I can break up with Alana. I finally have her after liking her for 10 months. I'm taking her on a date tonight to tell her the news but right before I'm letting Jack and Jack know. I leave at the end of this month which makes that 1 week away. I honestly don't know how I'm going to tell everyone but I have to.

Jack's P.O.V.

"Hey man what's up," I said to Sam as he walked in our dorm. He knocked about 2 minutes ago. He has a worried look on his face.

"Dude is everything all right? You seem tense like something traumatic happened."

"The three of us need to talk.." We all agreed as we sat on the beds.

"Look when we faced off USC, apparently they liked the way I play so they are asking me too leave here and attend their school for the remaining of the 4 years.." He started.

"What did you say.. are you gonna go?" Johnson asked.

"Honestly I can't pass up this opportunity you know? so I accepted the offer."

"When do you leave?" I asked.

"End of this month."

"Wait how does Alana feel?" I asked concerned.

"Well.. I haven't told her yet, I'm telling her tonight when we go on our date," He said.

"Good luck," Johnson said. 'Why do all of her relationships end badly?' I thought.

"Well I have to go get ready for the date and how to tell her so I'll see you guys later," He waved goodbye and left. If Alana isn't feeling well after tonight then I have to be there for her like she was there for me a few nights ago.

Alana's P.O.V.

It's been 2 days since the talk between my and Jack. He told me he was feeling a lot better and that he's not going to let Leigh's action control him. It was Sam's and I 2 months together a couple days ago. I have to admit I and so happy with him. I wonder how things would be different if I was single as well. Of course I still have feelings for Jack.. I mean he was my first love, boyfriend, and kiss. He's one of those guys where you never loose feelings for. You know? He's been acting super weird for the past week, but I didn't want to get involved because I'm gonna see if he's going to start acting the way he did before. We have a date tonight and I'm so excited.

** Later that night (They're on the date) **

"Hey so I need to tell you something," He started. I'm afraid of what he's about to say.

"Yeah what is it?" He grabs my hand and starts.

"So you know that these past 2 months have been amazing with you, but you know how I faced USC a few nights ago in a basketball game? Well the school offered me a full on scholarship to leave NOU and attend USC for the rest of the remaining 4 years. I honestly couldn't pass up an opportunity like this so I accepted. But I want to know what you thought before I officially leave because if you don't want me to leave then I will stay for you" What he said of course broke my heart but I have to be honest.

"Sam.. Dating you has been amazing and you've always been there for me and I love you for that but I cannot let you pass up an opportunity like that just for me," I say.

"So you want me to go to Cali?" He seems so sad.

"I don't want you to leave but I know how much education and basketball means to you so please go to Cali. I promise this will be an amazing time for you," I smile at him hoping to cheer him up a little bit.

"But Alana.. I don't want to leave you.. I'm gonna miss you so much," He says to me.

"Let's not talk about saying goodbye right now.. When do you leave?"

"End of this month.. So in 1 week."

"Then we'll think about goodbyes then," I smile at him reassuring that he shouldn't be sad.
