rivalry ( sam larusso x tory nichols ) { ON HOLD }

3

Robby POV :

OK. Shit. I can't even process what just happened. Sam has been off lately I mean I don't blame her. She had attacked, her boyfriend, or should I say ex got pushed down a flight of stairs she had to watch. Still don't know why she likes me to this day especially since I did that.

But this week she's been standing her ground but in such an odd way. I guess the whole rivalry with Tory taught her to fight back. But I never expected to see her like this let alone tongue me down in the middle of the hallway in front of the whole school I mean shit, I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy it, but that's besides the point. As I make my way to lunch I see Sam & Tory  walking down the hallway together.

" hey Sam" I say smiling, "Tory ? Uh hey ?"

" we'll talk about this later princess." Tory says looking at Sam. OK clearly I missed something.

* Flashback hours earlier. Between Sam and Tory *

Tory walks down the hallway with confidence. Nothing new. She knew she was hot , and she knew she had control over almost everyone in the school.
No one dared to mess with her. If you were special enough to win her heart, she might just care about you. Which is rare, she never cared about anyone after all she had a hard home life. Everyone remembers her as 'the girl who attacked Sam', or 'the girl who Miguel cheated on'.

She never let any of that define her.
She was out to the whole school and had only dated two girls before Miguel.

She didn't mind that Sam was closeted. She didn't need anyone to know about them. She just wanted to mess with your head and potentially fall in love with someone who she's hated for so long.

As Tory spotted Sam walking down the hall, she pulled her into the janitors closet putting your hand over her mouth.

" WHAT I- " Sam let out a sigh realizing it was just Tory .

" relax , princess ." Tory smirked .

God that made Sam weak.
She just wanted all of Tory . It hurt knowing that no one could ever know about the two of them, but it was just the beginning.

" god you're so hot." Sam said smashing her lips against Torys .

Tory Loved teasing Sam.
She never had felt this way about anyone. And even though her intent was to mess with Sam's head, she began feeling things she doubt she would ever feel for Sam.

Tory Walked out of the closet leaving Sam wanting so much more than just a passionate kiss. but Sam knew Tory would be back .

* back to Robby POV *

I couldn't tell if Tory and Sam are fake flirting or if Tory finally decided to squash the beef with Sam.

" OK Sam what the hell is going on? Do you have something to tell me I just don't understand. Between the kids, the sudden friendship with Tory?  God Sam you're a mess.  I hope you know you can tell me anything. Right?"

" Robby I-"
" brace yourself ,we're skipping."

" if you want to hear what's going on so bad ," Sam says heading to the School parking lot.

" come on Keene , we don't have all day."

Damn this girl is full of surprises.

* Time skip *

We've been sitting in the car , it's been nothing but dead silence for minutes now. God, I really wish I knew what went through this girls head.
" so ...."
I say I signal to Sam but get no response.

" Sam look."

Before I can finish my sentence

" imgay".

Sam blurts out regretting the two words.

It's almost like she never wanted to even think of the two words that just escaped of her mouth.

We stare into each others eyes, the silence breaks when samples into the beach parking lot, tears rushing down her face. She's frozen and looks almost torn. Just sitting there crying. I could tell she's in so much pain. God what have I gotten myself into. I can't see this girl like this. She gave me a place to stay when I had nowhere to go. What can I do .shit. I suck at comforting people.

" hey Sam look at me,"
I say gripping onto her shoulder. She pulls in for a hug crying into my chest. She continues
  " I'm sorry, I've just never told anybody this. It just hurts. I just don't know how to be myself and I don't even know if I want to be myself, if people are going to see me differently. It just hurts I kiss you because I need a cover-up. As shitty as it sounds, I need to hide. I can't let anyone see the real me. At least not in this town. I just - "

Sam says in between sobs.

Ouch. That hurt I mean this whole situation kind of hurts. Kind of hurts knowing that I'm just a cover-up. I'm used to being used but this is Sam, my little sister she's done so much for me and I can never stay mad at her even if I wanted to.

" it's going to be OK I promise."
I say trying to reassure her.

" no it's not! Can't you see? I just-"

She continues breaking down.

" don't worry OK. Will take care of this. You said you needed a cover-up, that's what you need I'm here. I mean after all everyone in the hallway saw us ... ya know ,"

I look up to see Sam chuckling. She's somewhat relieved now. She seems to be less overwhelmed and it looked as if she was crying less. God , she's beautiful. Shit I'm just a cover-up .
never mind .never mind .never mind .never mind.

" thanks Robby ." Sam says looking at me with puffy eyes

* HONK *

Someone beeps behind us. I looked next to me to see Tory parked next to us.

" Hey Larusso ! "
Tory says with a smirk on her face
....

" oh hey Keene !"
