Thomas Brodie-Sangster imagines

Sam (Love actually)

I'm sitting in my best friend Sam's room playing a new video game he just got 'Mario cart'
my mum and his stepdad have been best friends since I was nine so me and Sam have became best friends We're now thirteen

Our parents are downstairs having their cup of tea like they do every Saturday to 'catch up' with the others lives
"I win!"I laugh
"I let you bloody win"he scoffs
"sure you did Sammy"he sticks his tongue out at me i do the same

"Y/n time to go say goodbye to Samual!"I hear my mother shout from the bottom of the stairs I grab my jumper that was on the edge of his single bed and we go downstairs I see my mum waiting by the front door and Daniel
-Sams Stepdad- leaning against the wall by the door

"I'll see you later Sammy"I hug him
"Bye Y/n"he hugs me back
We let go of each other
"Come on honey let's go"My mum opens the door

"Bye"The boys say as a union we walk out and into the car i wave from the passenger seat as we reverse out of their driveway

Sam POV
I wave as Y/n leaves my stepdad grabs his jacket
"Let's go get some lunch"I put my shoes on and grab my jacket

We're now sitting on a bench looking out to the water as we eat our lunch
"So um Samual what's the problem? Is it just mum? Or is it something else? Maybe school are you being bullied? Or is it something worse? Can you give me any clues?"i sigh and look at him

"Do you really want to know?"He nods
"I really want to know"
"Even though you won't be able to do anything to help"
"Well if that's the case then yes"
"Okay well the truth is...actually....I'm in love"

"Sorry?"he looks at me with confusion
"I know I should be thinking about mum and I am but the truth is I'm in love and it was before she died and there's nothing I can do about it"He chuckles
"Aren't you too young to be in love?"I frown my eyebrows

"No"he ruffles my hair
"Well I'm a little relieved"
"Why?"He takes his hand away from my hair
"Well because I-I thought it would be something worse"

"Worse from the total agony of being in love"he looks at the water I follow his gaze
"No you're right who is it exactly?"He looks at me
"It's.."

Y/n POV
We finished dinner about an hour ago and I'm sitting in my room staring blankly at the walls with movie posters and pictures of me and Sam or me and my parents

I get up and walk downstairs Into the kitchen I see my mum sitting at the table staring at the photo of my dad on the wall
"Mum"She looks at me redness under her eyes,tear stains on her cheeks I could tell she had been crying moments before I sit down next to her rubbing her back

"Let's watch the movie I'll get the ice cream"She nods and goes into the living I take out a big tub of ice cream out the freezer and take out two spoons I walk back into the living my mum has put 'Titanic' on the tv which we watch when we're sad about dad because it was his favourite movie...for unknown reasons

I sit down next to her she puts a cover our body's I hand her a spoon and we eat the ice cream as we watch the movie
"honey you look a bit sad today,is there something wrong?"I sigh she pauses the film and turns on the lamp on the table beside the couch

"Well...I-I think I'm in love"she smiles
"Don't you think you're to young to be in love honey?"I shake my head
"No you can never be to young to love if you know it's right,like...you and dad"
"I guess your right...who is this lucky young man?"

"I think I'm the lucky one mum he's so nice and sweet he's such a lovely boy"
"Who is it?"I take a deep breath and let it out shakily
"It's Sam I'm in love with my best friend"She smiles
"I don't know what to do mum"
"What about you sing at the Christmas show"

"I mean maybe but it's in two weeks I won't be able to sign up in time because the last of the sign up end today"She looks at her watch
"We still have ten minutes till the school closes quick"we jump and slip our shoes on not bothering to put a jacket on we get in they car rushing to the school with three minutes left we made it we run inside to the office

"Oh Mrs Y/L lovely to see you"The woman at the office says kindly to my mother
"Hello uh can my daughter sign up for the Christmas show?"The woman smiles
"Why of course,what's your name dear?"she takes out a piece of paper and a pen
"Y/n Ma'am"She writes down my name on the paper

"Your lucky you made it on time Miss Joanna cancelled on us last minute if it weren't for you we wouldn't have a Christmas show"The old lady chuckles
"I guess Shes really lucky then"My mum rubs my shoulder
"Well thank you for letting her sign up have a good night"we say to the old lady and walk back to the car
I sigh as we drive back home

"What are you gonna sing?"
"Well obviously a Christmas song"She playfully rolls her eyes I shrug
"I was thinking I could sing
'All I want for Christmas is you' it's my favourite Christmas song"she nods we pull up in the driveway
