Sam's POV
Sophomore Year
I love you Colbs.
I love you too Sammy.
He kisses me and I melt into him.
Junior Year
Prom Colby's POV
I pull Sam into my arms and we dance close together as couples sway back and forth around us.
I kiss him and lead him away to our hotel room for the night. I think you know what happened after that.

Sam's POV
Wait, you're leaving?
I want to chase my dreams Sam.
Well, I'll come with you.
No. I have to do this on my own.
But I'm your boyfriend! You said you loved me!
It's over Sam.
I start to cry. Colby, I love you... I thought you loved me too.
He sighs I'm sorry Sam. But I'm leaving.
Fine, go then. I tear the pictures of us from my wall and shove them into his hands. And take your memories with you!
Sam...
Go away Colby!
He leaves my room and I fall on my bed, crying. He could have been the love of my life.
Colby's POV
Los Angeles
I get settled into my new apartment. I tape together the pictures of me and Sam and tape them on to the walls of my apartment. I stare at them and smile slightly. But then tears roll down my face. Sam hasn't talked to me since I left. I text him.
Colbear💕 (I need to change that... ) Hi Sam. I made it safely to LA.
Sammy💖: don't talk to me.
Sammy💖 has changed his name to Sam💔.
Colbear💕 has changed his name to Colby.
Colby: I'm sorry. I won't contact you again.
One month later:
Sam💔: I need to talk to you.
Colby: why now?
Sam💔: my parents are splitting up and I need someone to talk to.
Colby: I thought you didn't want me to talk to you. Find someone else Sam.
Sam💔: I have no one else... Please Colbs... you're all I have now... Everyone hates me...
Colby: I'm sure that's not true Sam.
Sam💔: my parents are fighting, you and I aren't talking. Allison moved out, Ben's too young to understand. Our old friends are busy with their own lives.
Colby: I'm sorry Sam. But I don't see how I can help you.
Sam💔: I just need someone to talk to.
Colby: okay.
Sam💔: you'll do it?
Colby: yeah, but tomorrow okay? I'm tired.
Sam💔: okay
I lock my phone and turn over.
I feel so bad for Sam. But how I can help him? I can't fix this...
I wake up to Sam calling me to facetime. I answer, still half alseep
Morning Colbs.
Hmm, hey.
Sorry if I woke you.
It's okay.
I hear something in the background.
What's that noise?
Parents are fighting again. Dad wants to take Ben with him. I see a tear rolling down his cheek and I wish I could wipe his tears away and hug him.
I'm sorry Sammy.
He smiles slightly at the old nickname. A door slams and all is silent. I hear another door open.
"Sam are you alright?" his mom asks.
He nods. "Who are you talking to?" she asks.
He shows her the phone. I wave at her.
Hi, Mrs. Golbach. I'm sorry for what's going on..
"thank you Colby. I'll let you two talk."
Are you alright Sammy?
I'm okay. I just, I wish things were normal. I wish they weren't spliting up. And I wish... He looks down.
Yeah?
I wish you were here...
I could visit or you can come here for a visit. Get away for a bit. I'll buy you a ticket.
Umm, I'll think about it.
Two days later. Wednesday.
Sam💔: can you buy the ticket? I need a break from the fighting.
Colbs💕 has changed Sam💔's name to Sammy💖
Colbs💕: are you sure?
Sammy💖: please Colby, I need to get away.
Sammy💖: Colbs?
Colbs💕: I bought the ticket. Used your email address to send the ticket to. 2 days from now.
Sammy💖: Thank you.
Friday
Sam's POV
Sammy💖: I'm taking off soon.
Colbs💕: safe flight, see you soon.
Sammy💖: thanks, see you soon.
I turn off my phone and buckle my seat belt. I close my eyes as the plane moves down the runaway and takes off. I stare out the window as every mile brings me closer to the love of my life. I get off the plane and get my bag. I head outside to see Colby waiting for me. I hug him tightly as my bag falls to the floor. He kisses me and everything feels right again. He pulls away.
I'm-m sorry Sammy.
I pull him back in and kiss him.
