Spinelli's POV
Flashback
The whole gang was separated, Gretchen was going to Princeton in New Jersey, Mikey got into Julliard, so he will be in New York, Gus enrolled into the military, so he would be on a base in Florida, and Vince got a basketball scholarship to a collage in Illinois. The paths our friends chose were not surprising, they all knew what they wanted years earlier, Me and T.J. were different
I have family that lives in Minnesota, so I applied for, and got accepted at Winona, while T.J. went to Georgia Tech, just like his dad did, so we were pretty far from each other
Me and T.J. were sitting out on the dock like we usually did during those times when it was just the two of us.
He was leaving for collage tomorrow, and me in three days.
We had already decided that neither one of us could handle a long distance relationship, and we thought it best to break up.
I wasn't happy about this, and I didn't think he was too happy about it either, but it was for the best
"So" T.J. said breaking the silence "Are we going to still talk?"
"Of course" I said, chuckling a bit "Of course we'll talk, were still best friends right?"
"Yea, your right" He smiled, but it soon faded "Are we, uh...dating other people?" He asked nervously
"Oh, well, uh, we can, we aren't together anymore, so I don't see why not" I said,
"Well, tell you what, in four years when were all done with this stupid collage crap, if were both single, your mine, ok?" He grinned, and wrapped his arm around my shoulder, pulling me close
"I can't wait"
We sat there for a while longer before he spoke again
"Never forget this"
"Forget what?" I asked, confused
"This moment, the way you feel, what's going through your mind, the color of the sunset, none of it, never forget it, ok?"
"I won't Teej, I promise" I said, snuggling back into his chest, at this point, trying not to cry
Once it hit 12:30, we got up and started walking to the car, the ride was quiet, no music, no talking.
When he pulled up in my driveway, which he always insisted on doing, even though I told him I was fine with walking next door, I stayed there for what seemed like an eternity, I didn't want to say goodbye, if I said goodbye, that ment going inside, if I went inside that ment going to sleep, if I went to sleep that ment tomorrow will come, and tomorrow ment he was leaving
What I wanted was to just stay in his car forever, if only
Eventually he spoke
"Tomorrows going to suck"
"I know" I said quietly
"Spin?"
"Yea?" I said, turning to face him
"I uh..I love you" He said, scratching the back of his head
This killed me, Now, four hours after we break up, thirteen hours before he leaves for the next four years, now, he tells me he loves me, great, and what makes it even worse? I love him too
"I love you too T.J." I said, looking back into my lap
"Hey, hey, hey, I didn't tell you that to make you sad, I told you to give you something to look forward to" He said
He always knew what to say to make me smile when I was upset
"Now, give me a hug, and go get some sleep, ok?"
I reached over and hugged him, and we stayed like that for a good five minuets, till I pulled away,
"Goodnight Teej, I'll, uh, see you tomorrow" I said, getting out of the car, I was still fighting tears
"Night Spin"
Once I got to my bedroom, I went straight to my bed, although just because you lay in bed, doesn't mean I actually fell asleep, When I did, by the time I woke up I felt like I had slept for five minuets
I got up and checked the time, it was 10:28 T.J. was leaving in about two and a half hours, I decided to take a shower, then get ready
When I got out, and was all dressed, and ready, it was 11:46
I looked out my window, and the Detweilers were packing their car with T.J.'s things. His dad was going to drive him down there, spend the night, then drive back tomorrow, he would have stayed with T.J. longer, revisiting the campus, but he wanted to come back to say bye to me.
I just stood there by the window for a few minuets, waiting for him to walk out, but he never did
When I finally walked away, I went over to my desk, and took one last look at the big piece of paper that had been laying there for almost two months, I sighed, then rolled it up, sealing it in a tube.
I made myself some breakfast, and before walking outside, I stopped to look in our hall mirror, promising myself many times I would not cry in front of him, setting the tube on the front steps by the door, I walked over
"Hello Spinelli!" Mrs. Detweiler called "How are you doing today dear?" She asked
"I'm doing fine" I said, smiling weakly, I think she knew how hard this was for me.
"Well, I'm sure T.J will be out in a minuet." Mr. Detweiler said, then looked at his watch "Oh, well he better be, we gotta get a move on if we want to be there before dark, T.J.!"
" I'm coming, I'm coming, He said, walking outside, glancing at me, giving me a quick smile, before turing his attention to the box he was putting into the car. 'Your not going to cry Spinelli!' I had to remind myself
Once it was there, his dad closed the trunk, and T.J. walked over to me
"I'm really going to miss you," He said, putting his fingers under my chin, pulling my face up to make me look up at him, 'Don't cry Spin!'
"But hey, in four short years, it'll be just the two of us again, ok?"
I smiled "Ok Teej, I'm going to miss you too" I said, before crashing into his arms, we hugged for a while, then it got awkward with his parents standing there, so we pulled away from each other
"I have something for you" I said, walking to the door, and getting the tube
"What is it?" He asked when I handed it to him, then he started to open it
"No, don't open it now, open it when you get there" I said,
"Ok, but here, I have something for you too" He said, and started taking his jacket off
"Teej, no, I am not taking your jacket! I said,
"Yes you are, I've already come to terms with the fact that I'm giving it to you, now take it" He said, and put it around my shoulders
He leaned over and kissed me softly, he whispered 'I love you' and I said it back before he started towards the car 'Seriously don't cry in front of him!'
I walked back inside, and went to my room. When I went to the window, they had just turned the corner
I laid down on my bed, and cried.
I cried because I lost him, I finally had him, there was no Ashley, or Lawson, or Elliot, just me and T.J. I had him for a summer, just one summer, before I lost him.
Tahh-Dahh, so... What do you think? :D Were you expecting that?
Review? Maybe? Please? :)
