The beanbag boys

Sam

I couldn't believe I'd done this to Charlie, he was supposed to be my friend, I knew him first. But Isabelle, well I've never felt this way about anyone before. And she was so pretty and deep down she was kind, I knew it.

I stood in the bathroom my eyes rested on the spot that Charlie was once angrily stood in. I felt overcome with guilt and I had no idea why I was so drawn to Isabelle. So compliant to anything she'd say to me.

"Well, I guess you're my boyfriend now" she shrugged drinking the milkshake that Charlie had gotten for her.
"Woah woah woah, don't you think we should wait for a while, I mean you and Charlie have only just broken up" I said.
"Sam, waiting is the worst thing you can do" she said looking at me as if I was stupid.
"How?" I asked.
"Well just think, if we wait, I start dwelling on Charlie and realise that maybe I do still like him then I'm stuck with a dilemma and you know me I can't handle that so I'll just cut you both off and then neither of you get what you want" she explained. Somehow she had a point.
"Oh" I said quietly.

"So are you coming to dance?" She asked. I envied her carelessness to the situation.
"Um sure" I muttered taking her hand in mine. We walked together swinging our arms back and forth until we got to the dance floor. Isabelle began jumping and swinging her hips and flicking her hair around as if nothing happened. It was almost funny to me and I have to admit I let out a slight chuckle.
"Come on Sam dance with me" she called over the music.
I nervously looked around me at all the people that were surrounding us. That was when isabelle gently placed a hand on my chin leading my eyes to hers.
"Don't look at them, pretend their not even there, come on do you really think I'd let anyone even laugh in your direction?" She scoffed. I laughed at her and began copying her movements on the dance floor.

That was when I felt a feeling I hadn't felt in a while, I felt safe.
