Exhale - Sabrina Carpenter

11

James put his phone down as his attempt to call Sabrina failed. He doesn't understand why she wasn't answering any of his calls, and her texts were starting to minimize. He still sent her a text that said she looked beautiful everyday though.

James knows Sabrina is busy a lot, but what changed? Why won't she contact him?

Suddenly James phone dings. He immediately picks it up and it's a text from Sabrina.

Sabrina: hey can we talk? I need to tell you something

James: yeah of course,"

Sabrina: can you come over?

James: yeah sure I'm on my way

James gets up and starts his journey to Sabrina's house.

Sabrina's POC

Something is telling me to go to Paris. I don't know why, but it's like I'm being drawn there. I love Paris so much, and maybe that's why. I don't know, maybe I just need a break from all this, from James, from work, from everything. James is coming over, and I'm not sure if I should tell him I want a break. I might meet someone in Paris that I might fall in love with who loves me more then James does. After all, it is the city of romance.

3rd person

Sabrina runs downstairs to see James being let in by Sarah. She smiles at him and he follows her back upstairs.

They got to her room and she closes the door. James leans in for a kiss so she kisses him. Sabrina will admit that she felt an explosion of butterflies, fireworks, and every good feeling you can think of every time she kissed him.

"So what do you wanna talk about?" James says, flopping down on her bed. She sits next to him.
"So." She says and continues. "I'm going away for a bit.

James looks at her in confusion. "Where are you going?"

Sabrina sighs. She doesn't know how James will react to any of this. He could be totally supportive or not at all.
"Paris." She says.

James continues to look confused but he stays normal. "Why are you going to Paris?"

Sabrina looks down. "I don't know, I guess I just need a break from everything."

James nods. "That's understandable." He says. "Do you want me to go with you?"

Sabrina shakes her head. "No, I think I wanna be alone."

James nods. He looks sad a little, but he knows Sabrina needs this. He also knows what Paris has to offer: romance. He loves Sabrina a lot, but he knows she needs to figure out what she wants. She could come back with a new guy that will make her even more happy then he does, or come back to him. He hopes she will come back for him, but whatever makes Sabrina happy.

James leans over and wraps his arms around Sabrina and hugs her. She hugs him back. Sabrina takes in his scent that she's grown to like.
"You know I'll miss you." James says, pulling away. Sabrina nods.

"Well, I have to pack." She says, before kissing his cheek. He stands up and walks to the door.
"Sabrina I wish you the best in Paris and I hope you're happy. I love you." He says and walks out the door, closing the door behind him.

James leans up against the wall and sighs. This could be the last time he sees her.

Sabrina falls back onto her bed.
What am I doing? She thinks to herself. I just need to get away.
