Now and Forever / s.w

Chapter 25

I was helping Jack find a plan, for asking Mallory out. We had everything worked out, and we were sitting in my basement.
Yes they were still sleeping upstairs.
Jack made a plan, and said, "Um, can I possibly, like, practice on what I want to say? Like, say it to your face?"

I nodded and he started.

"Mal, I've liked you for so long. Longer than I can remember actually, and I'm falling for you. You're beautiful face, your hair, the way it falls perfectly in place, your smile. Damn, your smile is gorgeous. I love when you smile, and laugh. The way you read books, I can't get enough. I love when you're focused on something. I just love everything about you and you might not feel the same way, but it's worth a shot. You deserve the world, and I want to be the one to give it to you. Will-"

Jack was cut off by the slamming of a door, and an angry Sam standing above us two.

"From what I just heard, I'm seriously confused. Yesterday was our 7 months, and what the fuck. Johnson, you know how much I love her and you decided to be selfish and do this shit. Why the fuck wouldn't you tell me about you feeling that way about El? Am I not giving the world to her because I'm trying so damn hard. Fuck you man, and El, call me when you make up your mind."

Sam stormed upstairs and out the door. I was shocked.
Jack and I looked at each other and we both bolted up the stairs. We tried running out the door, but we saw Sam driving in another direction.
We fucked up huge, major.
Everyone woke up, and looked at us two confused. We just shook our heads and we sat down with them. I started crying like crazy and Nate came over and hugged me.

"I think he broke up with me."

I was crying so hard, everyone came to hug me. I hated crying in front of people, I thought it showed weakness.
I decided to wait until Sam got home to talk to him, so I walked over to his house and saw Emily in the kitchen. She hugged me and I told her what happened.

"Sam, he's so fucking over dramatic. He'll for sure understand once you tell him, don't worry."

I nodded and we talked until we saw Sams car pull into the driveway. Once Sam walked into the house, I saw he wasn't alone.
The British girl, from that party we went to when Sam and I started dating.
No fucking way.
Sam held her close, with his arm around her waist, like he used to do to me. Emily saw and she said,

"Julianne, I'm taking you home. Sam and El have some talking to do."

Julianne kissed Sam goodbye, but Emily literally shoved their heads away and pulled her out the door. I looked at Sam and a tear slipped down my face.

"Looks like you moved on quickly."

Sam looked down at his feet and I said, "You didn't even let me explain. But that's okay, there's no need to anyway."

I started walking towards the door, crying more now, when I felt Sam take my hand and spin me around.

"I'm sorry Eleuthera, I should have let you explain."

What the fuck, where was the Sam that was here yesterday? He did not just call me by my full name.

"When you get your mind set on a decision, let me know."

I walked out the door, in tears, and headed straight for my place. I went straight to my room and watched Sam and I's cover that we posted, it got more than 100K views. I wanted to call Sam so bad, but I couldn't.
I watched Netflix, and ate some food while crying every once in a while.
My mom came into my room and saw me, she came and hugged me.

"Hey mama."

"What's wrong?"

"Boys are stupid."

My mom climbed into my bed and said, "I agree."

She brought us some ice cream and we spent some mother-daughter time together. I can't remember the last time we did that.
She made me feel so much better.
It was about 12, and she went to go to bed. I put everything away and decided to go to bed. I started to cry some more, and the tears wouldn't stop falling. I guess 7 months really did seem like a special month to celebrate, because there wasn't gonna be an eighth.
