- The night before -
SAM P.O.V
I've been sitting by this puddle for an hour and a half now. I got cold. I was only wearing a tanktop and jeans.
The ducks in the puddle swam peacefully. Looking at them made me calm. Yet this feeling of anger wasn't going away any time soon.
James is a great guy. He's been one of my best mates for years now. We've been through so much.
It's frustrating though when he meets this lovely lady. 'Course I'm happy for him. But he forgets about everything else.
I know the others get annoyed too. We've talked about it. Sadly none of us knew how to make it clear to him. But I guess my outburst may could've worked.
I didn't mean any harm to Luna. She was just there at the wrong moment. I like her very much to be honest. It's just that my anger had taken over and I felt a bit guilty.
My phone buzzed. Danny calling. I declined it. I know he was searching for me. He called me three times before. I just didn't want to be found.
I heard someone walking towards me. I sighed and waited for them to walk into the light of a lamppost.
It was a woman I didn't know. She just smiled at me and walked on. I leaned back relieved. I listened to the wind and the ducks.
I sat there for at least 20 minutes. It just felt so good. Being alone in the open air.
I didn't want to get back but I had to. I couldn't stay away for ever. And Cameron kept calling me too now.
I ignored both Danny and Cam. I stood up. I stretched out and yawned. I just now realized how tired I actually am.
I walked out of the park. I dragged my feet. My hands in my pockets and my head faced to the ground.
I noticed someone walk past me. "Sam?"
I sighed. It was Cameron.
I turned around and looked up.
"Finally! I've been looking for you for an hour!" He put his arm around me.
"I send Danny back to the bus." I nodded.
"Sam, I know it's been a bit frustrating with James and Luna. I understand the outburst. But are you sure it's only frustration from them?"
I stopped. "What else should it be?"
"How's it going between you and Rose?"
"Fine. Perfect." I walked on.
Cam caught up with me. "Yeah, sure sounds like it."
"It has nothing to do with my relationship. James is a dick and you know it."
"We're all dicks Sam! You can't be mad at him for that."
"Yes, I can." I paced up my speed.
"No, you can't. And you know that!"
"FINE!" I turned around.
"You're right! Everything you've said. I am not mad 'cos James is a dick. It's not going well between Luna and me. I am mad at myself, okay?"
I didn't know what to do. I just stood there.
"What is wrong?" Cam walked closer to me.
"I fucking like Rose so much. And I get frustrated because I don't want to feel this. It's too soon." I saw that Cam didn't really know what to say.
