Month 1:
It had been exactly 1 month since Sam had left. Since my world was turned upside down. I missed him coming through my window late at night. I missed that smirk that was constantly plastered on his perfect face and the puppy dog eyes. Oh my god the puppy dog eyes, he could get anything he wanted with them and he knew it. Every time I closed my eyes I saw him and every time I dreamed I re-lived that day when he left. But he'll come back.

Month 4:
Life wasn't much better, nothing seemed to make me smile anymore, not like he used to. Each morning I would look at that picture in my locket and count down the days until I would see him again. Until I could feel again.

Month 8:
I had started a job at a corner shop in attempt to calm my mind, it worked for a while but as soon as I got home the same thought poisoned my brain. What if he doesn't come back. No he wouldn't do that. But what if he did? It was just a nagging thought that I couldn't seem to escape.

Month 12:
Still no Sam. It had been exactly a year now. Maybe he's just taken a little longer than he expected to? I kept telling myself, it was the only way to stay sane. But as hard as I tried, the same thoughts kept running around my mind. What if he's found someone else? Someone better than me?

I had lost hope. 14 months he had gone by and I hadn't heard a thing. What was I thinking, why would he come back for me? He was gorgeous and could have anyone he wanted, I was just an average sweatshirt-wearing teenager.
I sat on my bed with my head in my knees, stroking the locket around my neck as my head shook with painful thoughts and memories of that day still on repeat. Taking a deep breath I put on Sam's old denim jacket, left my apartment and headed on a walk in attempt to escape my thoughts. I did this most nights, I found it helped to get out sometimes, especially at night as the bright lights of the city against the black sky was very calming to me. I headed down the streets to the same place I always go. The park where I first met Sam. As I approached my usual spot on a bench beside the lake I saw a figure already occupying it with their arm extended across the back of the bench. I was about to walk away when a familiar voice stopped me in my tracks.
"Thought I might find you here." He said standing up from his seat.
Sam. I couldn't believe it. So many emotions hit me like a truck.
"Sam?!" I turned to face him and sure enough the love of my life was standing in-front of me. My heart was beating at a million miles per hour.
"Hey there Princess." He smiled his signature smile as he walked up to me.
I don't know what came over me in that moment but next thing I knew I had slapped him around the face. "Ow!" He exclaimed as he put a hand to the now red mark on his cheek. "What was that for?"
"Don't you ever leave me like that again Sam." I said with gritted teeth trying to fight back my tears.
"Look I'm sorry, we ran into some problems I had to make sure it was safe to-" I cut him off as I practically jumped into his arms and he held me close to him.
"Thank you." I said between tears, hugging him as tight as I could.
"For what?" He questioned.
"Coming back for me."
"Well I promised you didn't I?" Sam said softly as he lifted up my chin to face him and I smiled as he kissed me. This was all I needed, and I knew that all my problems were fixed now that he was here. My hands around his neck and his around my waist, I was happy again for the first time in a year. I had him back. We had our lives back, we had each other back and this time nothing could ever take that away from us.

I had to do a second part because the 1st one was just too sad 😂
