Our Never Ending Love..// Sam Pottorff

Chapter 28

Laila's POV

Sam stood frozen, but his face changed quickly. I waited for him to answer, and he struggled to answer. But he finally managed to mutter out some words.

"What's it to you. You probably wouldn't have listened anyway." He spat, and I sigh.

He's right, I wouldn't have listened, I was too self centered to have cared.

"I'm sorry." I sigh.

"Did he tell you? Has he hurt you?" he asks softly. I huff.

"Ha no. Of course he hasn't hurt me. He'll be sorry if he does." I say instantly regretting it. "Sorry Sam." I look down.

"It's okay Laila. But I want you to know that if he ever does hurt you or anything, I'm right here, just a phone call away." I began to cry. Why am I crying. "Sam, I can't believe I hurt you the way I did. How could you forgive me? I can't even forgive myself. I've messed up so much, I was so selfish, I took my dad off life support, he's dead because of me, I gave up possibly the best scholarship I could ever receive. Sam I'm a fucking mess!" I cry.

"Woah! Laila, not to be harsh, but you had nothing to do with his death. You made the best decision you could have made. He was already gone by the time they took him off life support. And what do you mean you gave up the scholarship!?" he says frustrated.

"I called them a few days after the funeral and declined their offer. I told them what had happened, and they gave me until the end of July to give a for sure answer." I explain.

"Do you think your dad would want that! You worked so hard for that L! You can't do that!" He yells.

"I can and I am." I mutter.

"Does your mom know! Hell does Alexis know?" I shake my head. "Fuck this!" He rushes out of the restroom and I chase after him.

"Sam! Where are you going we have a Pep Rally in a hour and a half!" He ignores me and walks to his truck and speeds off.

I stand in the parking lot, I think what I should I do. If I leave to follow him, I may not make it back in time and one of us has to at least be here. I sit in my car for a little while fixing my make up and getting dressed. It's barely 2:45 by the time I'm ready, I have 30 more minutes.

My phone buzzes.

Momma: Come straight home after school. I need to speak to you and Alexis.

Me: About?

Momma: Just be here Laila. If not your not going to prom on saturday.

Me: Really!? I don't even want to go.

Momma: Be here, or your car is gone until after graduation. No if, ands, or buts about it.

Me: Oo yes ma'am.

I see Sam's truck pull up and he comes out fully dressed. I get out of my car and run up to him. "Sam!" He turns around and laughs.

"Nice outfit Jacobs." he laughs and someone clears their throat behind me and Sam's smile falls and he looked angry. I turn around. Jacob.

"Hey babe." he says flatly.

"Oh hi." I walk over and hug him. "Um, uh..." I stutter.

"I'll see you inside Laila." Sam says and walks away.

Jacob puts his arm around me and we go inside. He sits with Sammy and and Tanner. What are they doing here?

"Babe I hope you don't mind I invited them, I didn't want to be here alone. Know what I mean?" I nod. "Ok what's up? Why are you acting so shady?" he asks.
