Skinny Love

Chapter 33: Consequences

Annemarie's pov

Sam is really upset with Collin and Dylan. If only she let me slap both of them. Oh well. We've been trying to comfort her but its just not working. Every time Collin or Dylan passes by she runs. Jake is having a hard time not beating the shit out if them.

Collin keeps on begging me to tell Sam to take him back. I always tell him no but he won't listen. Its getting quite annoying and I beg Matty to beat him up but he said it would upset Sam even more.

How could it get even worse when Dylan is sending her love letters. Everyday there's at least 2 or 4 found in her locker. Maribel asked if she could burn them and Sam gladly said yes but I'm not sure she agreed to giving the ashes to Dylan.

Collin's Pov

I have to get Sam back. Yesterday it was a living hell without her. Imagine seeing someone you love but cant have every single day!

Plus i think she got a new boyfriend. There's this kid in our grade that she always talks to but ever since we broke up they have gotten even closer.

They are always together in the hallways and fooling around. But anyways back to the mission. So its Sunday and im on my way to her house.

Its really cold and snowing but not much. I walk up to her house and as soon as i reach the door a little yorkee comes out. Its cute and has plaid onesies on. I reach down to pet but it bites me and starts growling.

"Ow!" Then the door opens and out comes Sam with her pjs. She has on a hoodie and pjs that match her dogs. As soon as she comes out the dog lets go of my hand and goes behind Sam.

It goes behind her legs and keeps growing getting ready to jump at me. "Ok Humphrey stop and go back inside its freezing." Sam says and to my surprise Humphrey goes inside.

"Collin? What are you doing?!" She yells. "If you haven't noticed it snowing." She adds and crosses her arms.

"Sam, i need you back." I plead and she rolls her eyes. "Collin we just need a break. You think im with every guy i talk to!"

"Well you-"

"Uh!"she said and went back into her house. I was about to turn around and leave when Jake opened and started walking towards me.

"You got guts to come here when I'm here. Now back off and leave my sister alone or else I'm gonna beat you up!" he yelled.

"No. Not until I fix this and Sam and I are together again." I stood my ground determine to stay. I guess that was a long shot but who cares.

That was when Jake grabbed me by my collar. I never realized he was taller than me but boy was he pissed.

"Like I said leave or els-" he was interrupted by Maribel. "Jake! Don't hurt him!" Annemarie, Alice, and Ellie was with her too. Why the hell were they here? My thoughts were interrupted by a punch in my jaw. I fell to the ground.

"There are consequences when you don't listen." he spat then Matty came out and took Jake back inside. Damn everyone is here but me, its like me against everyone.

"I'll stay here guys. You go on ahead and comfort Sam." Maribel said sighing. The others went inside while she helped me up. "Collin what are you doing here? You're putting Sam in pain by coming." She brushed the snow off and sighed.

"I just needed to see Sam." I said.

"Just go home and put some ice on that bruise. It might be there for a while. See you tomorrow Collin." Maribel said and walked towards the house, opening the door and closing it.

I got up and brushed more snow off me then started walking back to my house. I walked into my house and yelled that i was home.

"No one cares!" My older sister yelled. Typical. I walked into the kitchen and my mom wasn't there, probably doing some election or law thing as always.

I walked over to the fridge and got some ice cubes. I put them in a plastic bag and headed upstairs to my room.

I sat on my computer chair and wiggled the keypad. The first thing that i see is a picture of me and Sam.

Sams on my back and we are both smiling like crazy.

That was before Dylan came to mess everything up. I click on the tab and YouTube pops up. Its on a video of The 1975, Sams favorite band.

Why does everything remind or lead back to Sam! I pressed play and the song fallingforyou came on. I remember i listened to this song twice with Sam.

Once when she just got out of the hospital, we were laying on her bed and the second time we were laying on my bed. Her head was on my chest as i played with her hair.

She told me that she dedicates this song to our relationship. She said that it reminded her of how she felt when she started liking me.

I lay down on my bed and listen to the song and it does remind me of when I started falling for Sam. I just laid on my bed thinking about things.

Like how many times I have been hit by Sams group. And how much of a douge i am. Me compared to Dylan, im a total d-bag.

Im so stupid, thinking every guy is with sam. Im just so scared of losing her, but look at where that got me. Me being to over protective. Now i face the consequence of losing sam.

I sat there and listened to the album.

I liked this band and Sam. The last song came on and it was called Undo.

I searched up The 1975 on google and the first thing that popped up was a picture of a guy. "Matty Healy, huh" i whispered.

"Still trying to get that girl that clearly doesn't like you." My sister said scaring me. "What no!" I said hiding the tab.

"Ok.." she said leaving my room. I closed the door and opened the tab again. I looked at the picture of Matty.

The sides of his hair were shaved off so the middle made a Mohawk. I heard the door open and see walk up the stairs. "Dad!" I yelled. "Yeah" he yelled back.

He opened the door to my room and i said "Im going to the barber's shop."
