Distance (A Sam Woolf Fanfiction)

Chapter 8: Telling Her

"Sometimes life has a cruel sense of humor, giving you the thing you always wanted at the worst time possible."

Lil's POV

The car ride to the hotel was dead silent. Not even Papa Roy or Jackie spoke. Every so often, I could see Sam glance in my direction, but instead of saying something to him I kept my gaze focused on the city as we drove by. It wasn't long till we reached the hotel.

Quietly, the four of us got our luggage and entered the hotel. Sam and I awkwardly sat on one of the leather couches while his grandparents got our keys.

"Lil, I don't know what to say." He mumbles.

"Neither do I." I respond hastily.

What if Sam didn't mean to kiss me? What if it just happened in the spur of the moment? I mean everyone was so excited I could've just happened. My heart sinks at the thought of that actually being the truth. It had to be. Sam could never love me.

After those few short words the awkward silence continues. Thankfully, Jackie and Papa Roy return and hand me a key.

"Alright so Roy and I will just be in the next room over, if you need anything." She smiles.

"Wait we're sharing a room?" I say as politely as I can manage in reference to Sam.

She nods before giving me an apologetic smile. I know she didn't see what happened but I think she knows something is wrong.

Somewhere along the way to our room, I seem to have lost Sam. Hopefully, I'll be able to collect my thoughts before he returns. I huff out a breath as I throw myself into the bed and rest my head on a pillow. We really do need to talk. But what am I suppose to say to the one person who holds my heart in his hands?

Sam's POV

As casually as possible, I disappear behind one of the potted plants in the hallway and watch as Lil proceeds to our room unaware.

She hates me. I've totally just ruined everything. What was I thinking! Why on earth would I kiss her when I knew she loves Josh!

But in that moment everything had seemed to fall into place. For that split second in time the world stopped spinning and it was just me and her. In that moment she was mine and I was hers. In that moment I think she loved me too.

If I had to do it over again, I wouldn't change a thing.

Yet here I am, in the hallway, wondering how I'm going to salvage what's left of my friendship. I can't loose her, I'd rather die.

"Dammit Sam! What are you gunna do!" I whisper quietly to myself as I close my eyes and lean on the wall behind me.

"You have to tell her before someone else does." Jimmy's voice echoes in the back of my mind.

But how? How am I suppose to tell my best friend that I'm in love with her? Right now I don't even know if she'll listen to me.

That's when suddenly, it dawns on me. If she won't listen to me here, then I'll take her somewhere where she will. I know her and this is one place she's dying to see. A smile plays at my lips as I picture her reaction.

Quickly, I text Papa Roy, letting him know where I'm going. Hastily, I call over a cab. There's a lot of things I need to do to prepare for tonight.

Tonight everything could change.

Liliana's POV

*BUZZZZZ* I'm broken from my far from peaceful dreaming by the vibration of my phone.

*BUZZZZZZ* I plant my head further into the pillow.

*BUZZZZZ*

"OH MY GOD JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!" I angrily shout, throwing the covers over my head.

"I didn't realize I was bothering you." I hear someone say softly.

Removing my head from the covers and sitting up, I see Sam sitting quietly on the edge of his bed, with a small smirk on his face.

"Sam I.....I didn't mean you. Sorry." I guiltily respond blushing.

"Lil, I know that, but we need to talk about earlier." He gently says.

I nod as I take a seat next to him on the bed. This conversation would be awful with anyone else, but this is Sam. He makes me feel safe.

He takes in a heavy breath before speaking. "I'm sorry."

"You're what?" I ask in awe.

"I'm sorry." He repeats. I can feel my throat close slightly and water fill my eyes. Don't cry. Not in front of him.

Instead of answering I stare blankly at the wall. I don't even know what to say to him.

"Do you hate me?" His voice cracks slightly, sending me over the edge and allowing a tear to roll down my cheek. I turn my head to find tears streaming down both of his cheeks, only causing mine to fall faster. Sam never cries.

"Don't you get it?" I suck in a breath, "I could never hate you. You're the only constant in my life and I'm so proud of you that you're gunna live your dream. But Sam you're leaving." My voice shakes as I speak.

"I know that I'm leaving. I know that everything could change. Things aren't going to be the same after this. I know that. But I also know that I love you Liliana."

He loves me. Samuel Joseph Woolf loves me. All at once, my heart begins to race and before I know what I'm doing my lips are crashing into his. He's stunned at first, but immediately kisses me back, placing his hand gently on the side of my face.

"I love you too." I whisper when we brake apart.

Looking into his green eyes, I'm greeted with a warm smile.

"I got you something!" He says while reaching into his back pocket retrieving a crisp white envelope.

"What is it?" I ask excitedly as he hands me the envelope.

"Well open it and find out!" He giddily replies. Is he as nervous as I am?

Slowly I tear open the envelope to reveal two tickets. They're not just any tickets though! They're Red Sox tickets.

"YOURE TAKING ME TO A SOX GAME." I shout ecstatic, throwing my arms around him.

"Haha you like it!?" He hugs me tighter.

"I love it! Thank you!" I squeal.

With my arms wrapped around him I make it a point to take in his scent and everything about him. He would soon be gone. However, not even those thoughts could ruin this moment. Nothing could ruin this moment, not even the sound of my phone vibrating against the bed behind me.
