Little Bit of Truth (Sequal to The Overprotective Brother)

Chapter 6: Sex And Politics A Dangerous Game We Play

"I was beginning to wonder where you got to," Sam said as I sat on the bed next to him.

"Oh....erm... I went to talk with Mikey, Sean and Ricky," I said.

"Ok, love what's bothering you?" Sam asked a look on his face that I had never seen before. What it was I didn't know.

"Sam.... We need to talk," I said playing with my hands.

"What is it?" He asked sitting up with the duvet still covering him.

It was now or never.

"Erm... well you know, when you brought everyone back to the house, and I was still talking to Josh. Well we went back to his car and..... and.... Oh Sam I'm really sorry. I can't do this," I stuttered.

He looked at me, "Go on", he said.

"We.... we...... erm...... we had sex. Sam I don't know what came over me. He took me back and he practically seduced me. I could have said no but...but... I'm sorry Sam. I'm a good for nothing whore, that doesn't deserve you. And now you're going to leave me for someone better than me, who won't cheat on you and I shouldn't have done it, I hate myself, I guess I best give you this back-" I said pulling my ring off my finger, and cowered away from Sam. I was having a panic attack and I knew it, for the second time tonight and in the space of 45 minutes. Where's Sean with his bag when you need him?

"Hey, I'm not mad at you," Sam said taking a hold of my hand calming me down.

"What how? How are you not?" I asked utterly confused.

"Barry was walking around the car park and heard moaning coming from Josh's car. He looked up and saw your dress on the head rest, he told me and walked away, strange man. Anyway, that's beside the point, I'm not angry because you told me rather than hiding it like some girls would. I'm mad at Franceschi for talking you into it. Hey, if Josh Franceschi, seduced me into sleeping with him I would. I mean who wouldn't. I mean, never mind forget that bit. But.... I need to tell you something too," He said.

"You didn't sleep with him too did you?" I asked slightly amused at the last part of Sam's fast speech.

"I kind of might have cheated on you too, Alex. I'm sorry," He said.

"With who..." I admit I was slightly angry, but played it off, he wasn't angry at me, I can't be angry at him.

"Claire..." HIS FUCKING EX, who cheated on him the whole time they were together, hey, she even tried to lure poor Sean into bed. Sean was the bigger person and declined, escaping the situation with a slap.

"Claire, Sam I thought you had standards." I said, shit why did I say that.

"Standards, I thought you had standards, Franceschi, seriously Alex. I would prefer you to have cheated on me with Ricky, or even Jacky Vincent, but Josh." He said beginning to get angry, this was a side to Sam I rarely saw and didn't like.

I got off the bed and removed Sam's shirt I was wearing and replaced it with my own, and pulled on a pair of shorts.

"I tell you what Sam, I would have preferred it myself if I cheated on you with Ricky or Jacky Vincent," I began to get angry myself and shoved my stuff into my case and grabbed all of my chargers and laptop.

"What are we going to do then? Where are you going? Upstairs to Josh?" He asked walking towards me. I grabbed the car keys (well it was my car that he was driving around).

"Upstairs to Josh. Don't make me laugh Sam. I'm going no-where near that man. I'm going to get my daughter and go home, you can take the train home with the rest of your band. I'm getting my stuff and moving back to Sheffield with my mum." I said unlocking the door.

"We're not done, what about us?" He asked.

"We need a break from each other. I love you Sam, I really do, but we have to do this. If not for us but for Cass. I need to figure out some things. Who knows in the future we might get back together. But for now-" I fully removed the ring from my finger and placed on the bed side table. I kissed him one last time before walking to the door and collecting all of my things.

I smiled at him. The man I loved.

"I love you too, Alex." He said.

"Goodbye Sam," With that said I exited the room and closed the door. The tears I'd been holding in fell freely and I collapsed in a heap on the floor.

"Alex...." It was Ricky.

He picked me up and carried me into the room he was sharing with Mikey and Sean and now I'm guessing Sam Douglas and Chris Motionless as they were there too.

"R-Ricky, Sam and I....." I stuttered. He cut me off and kissed my forehead and handed me a glass of water.

"I know, I heard everything," He said.

"We all did," Mikey said as he came over and hugged me. He was soon followed by Sean, Sam and Chris.

"What do I do?" I asked no-one in particular.

"Try and get some sleep we'll talk about it in the morning," Sean said.

Everyone, with the exception of myself and Ricky, who was still hugging me, went back to their areas of the room and fell asleep pretty much straight away.

He sat on the double bed that he managed to win to sleep in, and pulled me down to sit next to him. He lay down and pulled me into his side. I lay my head on his chest still sobbing. I could tell from his breathing he was still awake.

"Ricky, what do I do?" I asked him.

"I'll drive back to Glasgow with you. Get your things and Cass' things and come back to Scranton, I still have 2 spare rooms in my house, you guys can have them. A new place where you know virtually no-one sometimes is best." He said.

"Rick, you don't have to you know, I could just live with my mum and Matt," I said looking at him. "Hang on won't your girlfriend find it weird if you just randomly move another woman and her child into your house?"

"Hello... earth to Alex, I'm a single man. I want you to live with me because, well I get lonely ok, but don't tell Chris or any of the other guys that," He said.

I nodded.

"Ok, I'll move to the US and live with you Ricky," I agreed.

His breathing changed and I could tell he fell asleep. I snuggled into my best friend even more and finally drifted off myself.

Thank God for Ricky Olson.

Author's Note: Well, here's the next chapter. I kind of know where I'm going with this now (she said hoepfully).

Also I cried writing this chapter. I hated breaking Sam and Alex up but it had to happen. It will help a lot with future chapters.

Another note, look who's made a return (well they've got the song/title for the chapter) the lovely Young Guns (YEY!). And Ricky just being a top notch (I swear that phrase isn't used enough) dude.

Leave me a comment and let me know what you think of the book, predictions for the future or just come say hi !!!!
