Sam shorts

RUN

"Run!" You looked at Sam as he raised the gun, "but I won't leave you." His fingers tighten on the grip as he continues to point it at the monster. "Y/N can't get into it now just run." He huffs out the last part and in different circumstances that would drive you crazy. "Sam I can't," fighting back tears as your feet seem to be cemented to the ground. "You have to, do it for me." Wiping a tear, "I'm afraid I won't see you again."

"Remember that promise I made you long ago. I will keep it. I love you so you have to run!" Two more come from around the corner. "Please..." his voice pleading with you. "I love you and will see you later," you turn and run the other direction. Running until dirt is no longer under your shoes you run across the pavement of a small parking lot where his car is parked. A little out of breath you hear shots fired. Putting your hands over your mouth to keep yourself from calling out to him.

More tears fill your eyes and stain your cheeks as you think back that picnic you had long ago. His head in your lap as you leaned against the tree in the shade, moving your fingers through his hair. "I wish we could stay like this forever." He lets out a breath, "we can because I'm never going anywhere. We are growing old together you and I," he looks up, "you can't get rid of me." Leaning down and giving him a good kiss on the lips once you separated he moved his hand up and cupped your cheek. Placing your hand over his and not saying another word.

You snap back to this cold and empty parking lot. Hands shaking as you frantically search the tree line for him and thinking it was too quiet. "Sam," whimpering out as it feels an eternity has passed. Hearing a twig snap you stare in that direction with a squint. Seeing a figure come out a bit of courage hits you as your hand moves to the back of your waist where a gun is tucked away. Then you stop and run forward, "SAM!"

He stumbles a little causing you to run faster. Heart thumping in your throat you leap into his arms and he wraps his arms around you. "Don't you ever do that to me again," you beat your fist at his back. He squeezes you tighter and exhales, "I can't make that promise." "What the hell was that anyway?" He strokes your hair, "it's a long story but I think you need to hear it." You slide off him and take his hand as you both walk over to the car. He picks you up and sets you on the hood. Using his hands while he talks he explains what he's been doing since he was a boy.

It is a lot to take in and you process as much as you can. "Y/N? You okay?" Looking back to him you nod. "You haven't said anything for five minutes." He searches your face then brings his hands to your cheeks. "Now I want to teach you a few things because and no offense but if it wasn't me coming out of those woods I'm not sure you would've shot it." His hand moves down your waist and around your back grapping the gun. Cocking it he grins, "also you needed a bullet in the chamber."
