Start Again || Sam Fender

Chapter 1

"Why have you brought me here?" I groaned. No matter how much I love being here, I would much rather be at home in bed where nobody could find me.

"Because, Sam, we are going to get you drunk!" Dean expressed.

I groaned even louder. I couldn't think of anything worse. I would much rather get drunk on my own where nobody could see me crying. I broke up with my ex not even three hours ago, and I was forced down here out of my own will. All I wanted to do was just sleep.

"Listen, Sam. We are going to get you drunk, whether you like it or not." Joe said, with his arm around my shoulder. As much as I love these boys, I really do not want to be around them right now.

"And you never know, you may find someone new." Dean winked. Typical Dean. Always trying to get me to move on fast.

"Look guys, I appreciate the effort, but I really don't want to. Just let me go home." I begged.

Both boys shook their heads and dragged me over to an empty seat. I told all the boys about what had happened, but Joe and Dean were the ones who insisted on taking me out.

The boys left me on my own whilst they went to go and order an unnecessary amount of alcohol, and i just sighed. I wasn't too sure on why I was this upset, I was the one who ended things after all. The amount of times she cheated on me with her own ex made me feel stupid. I couldn't be with her any longer.

When I told the boys, they said they felt sad, but I knew they were more than happy I was finally out of the worst relationship in the world. Maybe Dean's right, maybe I should find someone new. I deserve it, after all.

"5 tequila shots for you, Mr Fender." Joe grinned. Is he kidding? 5?

"5?" I sighed in defeat. I had to get over her some way.

I downed all 5 of them after another, and strangely didn't feel anything.

"Fucking hell Sam!" Dean yelled.

I shrugged. I had no emotion, no feeling. I just wanted to drink. Drink as far as my lungs will take me.

About 5 more drinks later, all 3 of us began to get very drunk. I was no longer thinking about my ex, and Joe and Dean were shouting and screaming at the top of their lungs, as they do.

"Oi, Sam, look over there, she's fit." Dean pointed over to someone by the bar I've never seen in this pub before. She was pretty. Very pretty. I was quite far away, but her features were so beautiful.

"Should I go over?" I stumbled over my words. I didn't know whether to go over, or just stare at her like a weirdo.

"Go over man!" Joe nodded.

Shit. Why am I doing this?

I walked over towards the bar and placed myself next to her. She shuffled away, indicating that she had just ordered and that I was free too. What do I say? I looked back towards the boys, and they were giving me thumbs up, and violently nodding their heads.

"Um... excuse me?" I tapped her arm.

"Yeah?" She turned towards me. God, she really was beautiful. Her nose was perfect, her eyes were sparkling, and her lips. Her lips. They were perfect. Perfect for kissing..

"Um... Do you like Star Wars?" Oh no. What am I doing?

"Yeah, I guess?" She looked confused. I too was very confused.

"Because... Yoda only one for me..."

You fucking idiot. Why did you do that? That was quite possibly the worst pick up line in the history of pick up lines.

Her eyes widened. I couldn't tell if she wanted to jump off the roof, or hit me around the face.

"I'm sorry, that was terrible. I am very drunk right now. I'm usually better at this I promise." I mentally cringed.

She laughed. I didn't know whether she was laughing at me, or with me. Hopefully it was with me.

"Let's start again?" I hoped.

"Yes please, I would like that." She chuckled. Wow. She was adorable.

"I'm Sam, by the way." I hadn't drank for a few minutes, so I could feel myself slowly start to sober up.

"Juni, It's nice to meet you." She smiled.

30 minutes earlier:

"Yes, I'll meet you there, I'm just getting ready!"

Today is my best friend Lola's birthday, so we're going to the Low Lights to celebrate. I haven't been to this pub in well over a year, which was to celebrate Lola's last birthday. You can tell it's her favourite place in the whole world.

There's no need for me to really dress up. The last time I was in there, it was filled with old men, so I definitely don't need to dress to impress. Lola on the other hand will probably be going full out, as she should.

I haven't had a boyfriend in a few years, so I wouldn't really even know how to properly talk to someone. Lola, however, "doesn't do boyfriends".

I arrived at the pub ten minutes later and entered to a crowd of noise. I never remember the pub being this loud? I look over to my right and see three boys dancing and going crazy. Someone had a rough day.

I spot Lola sitting on a table by herself, and make my way over to her.

"Hiiii, happy birthday!!" I jump onto the seat next to her and gave her the biggest hug.

"Juni!!!!" She hugged me back and I moved to the seat which was opposite where she was sitting.

"So are we getting drinks?" I ask a stupid question. Of course we're getting drinks. When do we not?

"Duh! Get up and get them!" She nodded.

I rolled my eyes and smiled, as I made my way over to the bar. It wasn't too busy tonight, it was quite quiet. Well, other than the boys screaming. I didn't mind, though. They seemed to be having a good time, that's all that matters.

I peered over to my right, paying more attention to the boys. I notice there's three of them, one slightly taller than the other two. One has dirty blonde hair, whereas the others have more darker hair. They were all quite cute, but the taller one grabbed my attention straight away. He was cute. Very cute.

"How can I help you?"

The barman shook me out of my thought, and I ordered drinks for Lola and I.

I felt warm air towards the right of me and shuffled over a bit, so whoever it was would know I had finished ordering.

"Um.. excuse me?" I felt a tap on my arm.

I turned around and I was faced with the same boy I called cute, not even 30 seconds ago.

"Yeah?" I smiled at him.

His eyes were beautiful. He was beautiful. Everything about him was so so beautiful.

"Um... Do you like Star Wars?" He slurred.

Is this a pick up line? This is such a random question. He is obviously very drunk.

"Yeah.. I guess?" I was so confused. He looked confused as well..

"Because... Yoda only one for me..."

My eyes opened in shock. Oh my god. That is quite possibly the worst pick up line I have ever heard in my life.

"I'm sorry, that was terrible. I am very drunk right now. I'm usually better at this I promise."

I could see him cringing in his mind through his eyes, the way they kind of quivered before he even finished his sentence.

"Let's start again?"

"Yes please, I would like that." I chuckled. He was quite funny.

"I'm Sam, by the way."

Sam.... Sam. I like it. It fits him very well. He looks like a Sam. Is that weird?

"Juni, It's nice to meet you."

I smiled.
