Sam Smith - Summer In Paradise - [Friend's Book]

Chapter 21

We arrived back home and Sam unpacked. His face was in fury. "What's wrong?" I asked him. He stopped packing and put his hands on his face. He started to cry and walked off. Luckily I grabbed his arm before he could go anymore. "You wanna know why...its because of you, you killed Reuben the only guy I need at the moment, and you also brought home a fucking knife, now where will we put it??" Sam stopped and looked at me. "Well it wasn't my fault, he made me!" I looked at the cabinet next to me. It has a pin lock on it, so it was safe and secure. I pulled out the knife that was covered by a kitchen towel. I typed in the pin and shoved the bloody knife in the cabinet draw. "There!!" I walked off and sat on the sofa. "And I will put baby Elliot in his cot." Sam said, picking up Elliot and walking off to the baby's new room.

It's nice to be back home. Your family lives close by, and you're not scared of people coming in trying to kill you. Well...

"Sam?" I shouted. There was no response for 2 minutes. "What??" He said. "What the hell are you doing??" "Nothing I'm coming now!"

Sam came in with a little charm keyring. It said on it: best friends forever
What did I do to make Sam this upset?

"You know that that this was the only gift Reuben gave to me, and I didn't even give him one back" Sam started to cry and started to walk away. I tried to stop him. "Sam please!!!" He pushed me aside. "I'm sorry Chantelle, but I hate you, we're over, forget everything I don't care about Elliot and I don't want to see you both ever again." Sam went upstairs, and packed his stuff. He left by the front door, he didn't even say goodbye. I really don't know what I have done.

*later that night*

"What have I done?" I said to myself. Elliot kept crying and I didn't know what to do. "SHUT UP!!" I shouted at the top of my voice. The baby kept crying still.

I sat down in the bathroom and looked in the mirror. "Seriously what have I fucking done?" I looked around to find a shaver or any other sharpish things I can cut myself with. I found my shaver and started cutting myself, using the wrong way of the shaver. The sharp things cut my arm and I burst into tears. "OWWW!!" I didn't want to stop. "This isn't working!!!" I got up and headed for the kitchen, until I heard the front door go. "Chantelle?" I heard Sam say. "Listen, I didn't mean...what have you done??" There was blood everywhere on my arm. "Babe, I'm sorry!" He calmed me down. "I just wanted you Sam!!" "I didn't mean to kill Reuben!" I looked down and I started to cry again.
