Tom's Girl

•33•

About an hour later I hear a knock at my door. I roll over and don't say anything but the door opens anyway.

"Hey." I hear Sam say. I don't answer him and he slowly closes my door. I hear a quiet click and I can tell he locked the door. I was actually pretty happy he did cause I didn't want anyone else to walk in here. He walks over to my bed and sits down. "Are you ok?" He asks.

"mhm." I lie.

"So what's going on between you and Tom?" He asks as he lays down, his head against the headboard.

"Nothing." I say.

"Please just tell me. I won't tell him anything." He says. I lay there for a couple seconds, not knowing what to say. Now that I think about it, Sam actually has been so nice to me. He's never been mean or snapped at me. I'm pretty sure Harry was mad at me though, I could tell by the way he looked at me and Tom when I asked if Tom looked pissed. He was definitely on Tom's side about this even thought he didn't know what was going on. But Sam seemed to be on my side about this, specially with that kiss. I needed to talk to someone, and it definitely wasn't going to be Hannah.

"I kissed him." I say, still not looking at him. A couple seconds of silence go by before he says something.

"What'd he do?" He asks. I sit up to look at him while we talk.

"At first he just pushed me away, and I was going to accept the fact that he didn't want it. But then I asked him why..." I say, Sam listening closely. "He lied to me twice about the reason why."

"What was the reason?" He asks.

"He said I was too much."

"Like too much to handle??" Sam quickly questions.

"Yea..."

"God what is wrong with him." Sam says as he crosses his arms over his chest.

"And then he went on to explain every reason why I was too much."

"Sometimes he's just an ass." Sam says. I give him a soft smile and lean against the headboard with him. "I'm sorry that he said that. He's been so nice to you and treated you like a girlfriend, if he didn't want to be with you he shouldn't have treated you like he did." Sam says. I smile a little since now I knew he was on my side about this. "Well how bout we watch something to cheer you up." He says.

"That'd be great." I say. He grabs my remote and searches for "After" on Netflix.

"I was told these are your favorite movies." Sam says. I laugh at him while shaking my head. He plays the movie and gets up, shutting off the lights as he sits back down. "Come here" he says, motioning me over. I climb over one of his legs, sitting between his legs with my back against him.

He takes the hair tie out of my hair and starts playing with my hair as the movie starts. We watch about 20 minutes of the movie in silence but he continues to play with my hair.

"Thank you." I say.

"For what?" He asks.

"For being with me on this. Harry is obviously with Tom on this." I say.

"Why do you think that?"

"He made it worse. He asked Tom what he would do if Hannah kissed him, knowing it would make me upset. And then Tom decided to make it worse." I say, my voice cracking as a tear slowly drips down my face. 

"If it helps you feel better, Tom didn't kiss her." Sam says.

"What?"

"As soon as you went upstairs he said he wasn't going to actually kiss her and then everyone got into an argument." He says. I turn around to look at him.

"What do you mean everyone got into an argument?" I ask.

"Harrison started yelling at Tom for using Hannah to get back at you. So they started arguing and Harry was brought into it for making Tom answer that question in front of you. And then everyone started arguing about this whole situation and how you and Tom were being treated." Sam explains.

"Were you in the argument?"

"Kinda." He says. "But I was only backing you."

"Thanks."

"Of course. I'd chose you over Tom any day." He chuckles. He curls some of my hair behind my ear and looks into my eyes. "You're not too much. I want you to remember that." He says. I smile as another tear slowly drips down my face.

He wipes it away with his thumb and smiles at me. I peer down at his lips, his eyes quickly following mine. He wraps his hand around the side of my neck and pulls me into him, placing a soft kiss on my lips.
