Sam's POV
"Can I have a Pepsi?" I said to the blonde waitress.
It was Courtney's last night so me and the guys decided to take her out to Panera.
She nodded her head and turned to get our drinks.
"I can't believe I have to leave." Courtney said as she sighed. Her dark ombré hair fell in her face.
"You'll be back next summer." Connor said with a grin.
Courtney got accepted into that running clinic, and I couldn't be more proud.
She shrugged, "I know but I'll miss you guys."
.
"TREVOR, COURTNEY, GET UP." Nicole yelled while rummaging around for her purse.
It was currently 4 am LA time, and we were heading to the airport.
I slipped on my yoga Capri leggings and my 'I love LA' sweatshirt I got what felt like forever ago.
"Are we still getting the boys?" I called out.
"Yeah, call Sam and get them all up because god knows that they didn't go to sleep until an hour ago." Nicole replied, "and trev, go bring Courtney's bags to the car."
"Alright" Trevor said while rolling off his bed and onto the floor.
I giggled.
Once we were in the car it really hit me.
These guys are my friends now, not just my idols.
Once we got to the airport Sam stayed with me till my flight.
"I'll see you June 15th!" Nicole shouted from the moving car.
"Bye love you guys!" I said with a smile. I am sad about leaving but I'll be back soon.
We went thru security check and sat at the gate.
"Wanna split a breakfast burrito?" Sam asked.
The atmosphere around us was tense. Not because we were mad at each other or anything, because we both didn't know what to say.
"No thanks, I get air sick."
A few minutes passed and my flight was called to board.
"Sam, thanks for everything. I'm gonna miss you so much." I said while fighting back tears.
"Court, you won't have to miss me we'll talk everyday like we always have. You're my best friend." He said as he wrapped me into a hug.
The flight attendant called for my flight to board one last time and we broke apart.
"Before you go I want you to have this." Sam said while placing his necklace into my hand.
"Then you take this." I said as I slid my rope bracelet onto his wrist.
We hugged one last time and I stepped onto the flight.
Without looking back in fear that I might break down.
