Chapter 4
Two months later
“I’m pregnant,” Sam says down the line. My eyes widen, I almost dropped the phone.
“What?” I mean we only did it once...
“APRIL FOOLS DAY!” She laughs.
“Phew,” Thank you God.
“But last week was awesome,” She tells me.
“It so was,”
“Yeah, it meant a lot,”
“Me too,”
A week before
Sam
I hear a knock at the door. Crap. I’m not dressed yet. I peak out of the window. It’s Justin. I answer the door in my underwear and dressing gown.
“Hey Justin,” He smiles,
“Sam, so I was wondering if you,” He sees what I’m wearing and steps inside. “Woah, new outfit?” He asks. I grin,
“No my underwear, I haven’t got dressed yet,”
“I should have come half way through,” He jokes. I beam.
“No,” I wave my finger at him.
“Do you want to come to my beach house in 10 days? I’ve got a concert,”
“I can’t university stuff,”
“ Then we better make the most of today. I’m going for a month,” My eyes widen.
“A month?”
“I’ve got twenty tours in America to do,”
“What?!” I sit down on my bed, my head spinning. “How am I-,”
“Going to manage? Same problem here. I’ve never been away that long. Should we just grab every moment?”
“Please don’t leave me,” Stop the spinning. Please. He leans towards me, grabbing my waist. Kissing me passionately, we lie next to each other on the bed.My eyes widen...
Two weeks later
Jaden enters. His eyes glazed over.
“Jaden?” I ask. He nods.
“I got fired, Ash dumped me and I’m drunk,” He announces.
“Why the hell are you wasted?”
“I was upset cause I have no money,”
“Right, well can you go to your Mum’s house,”
“Why aren’t you still in love with me?”
“Because you cheated on me and there’s someone else...”
“Your going out with Bieber right?”
“How the heck did you know that?”
“Two paparazzis caught you to at it two weeks ago,”
“Shit,”
“Yeah, I know. You love him right?” I nod. “No chance for me,”
“Jaden we where never going to work out,”
“What about two years ago, we were perfect,”
“No ones perfect and really its your fault,”
“Just go snog him you piece of shit!” He yells.
“Justin’s my boyfriend, so I can,” I close the door on his face.
“F,” I hear him say. The phone rings.
“Hey Justin babes,”
“Hey my baby,” I laugh.
“So what are you doing?”
“Being in love with you,”
“Same, I just shoved Jaden out, he’s hammered and thought he’d come parading it to the world,”
“You ok?”
“Yeah,” But I’m not. The idea of seeing him again has made me sick.
“So how’s the singing coming along?” he asks me.
“What? I don’t sing,”
“You do, I’ve heard you, your great,” I blush.
“Thanks. I’ve got university now, I love you,”
“More than the world,”
I hang up. My eyes close. Jaden? I fall to the floor.
Ash:
Hey Sam how you holding up sorry bout Justin. x
Twenty minutes later
Ash:
Y r u blanking me?
Three hours later
Ash:
R u @ uni?
Three days
Forty-nine missed calls from Ash.
Ash:
I’m coming round.x
Ash
Sam always texts back, or calls back. She can’t bare not calling back. Maybe, she’s lost her phone, or dropped it down the toilet, or its off because she’s eventually got annoyed that the ring tones Justin saying “I love you,” in his “sexy” English accent and he’s not there.
I knock on the door, I wait ten minutes. Nothing. I take the spare key from under the doormat and slip inside. I creep into the living room. The Justin posters are thrown accross the floor ripped up, the couch is upside down, all the plugs have been undone for the TV. I go into her room. Her make up is scattered all over the floor, some bright red nail polish has splattered on her purple carpet, Justin’s colour. The posters in her room are on her bed, most of them ripped to pieces. There are no sheets on the bed, or blankets, or duvets. In the kitchen everything is thrown all over the place, like there’s been a food fight, bottles of disinfectant sprayed on the cooker and washed so severely its starting to ware away. Don’t be gone Sam. Just don’t.
I walk into the bathroom. Loo roll is everywhere. And underneath I see Sam curled up on the floor, sleeping, sucking her thumb.
“Sam?” I shake her slightly. She’s always been a light sleeper, hey eyes open and she screams...
