Aubrie ran over to Sammy and Johnson and shoved them apart.
"Guys! Stop! What are you doing?!" she shouted.
"Au-I," Sammy said and sighed, "never mind," and walked away.
Aubrie turned to Johnson.
"What the fuck was that?!" she shouted.
All of the guys gasped. Aubrie had cursed before, but she tried her best to try not to in front of the guys.
"I-uh, I-Sammy, uh..." Johnson said, searching for words.
"Tell me why you two were fighting!" Aubrie yelled.
"I-uh, uh, I said that, uh," Johnson said, stuttering.
"You said what?" Aubrie said, with a little attitude.
I then walked up behind Aubrie and turned her aound.
"Aubz, calm down. It was just a fight," I said.
"Yeah, it was a fight but Sammy got punched in the nose! It could be broken, he probably can't breathe! Jack could've just broken his nose and God knows what else!" She shouted at me.
"Aubrie, calm down. He's okay," I said.
And it was at that exact moment that a groan came from the house where Sammy went in.
Aubrie turned to Jack Johnson and said, "If you broke his damn nose, I'd watch out if I were you."
Then she ran inside to see if Sammy was okay, and everybody followed after her.
"Sam, you okay?" Aubrie said, as she walked in, seeing Sammy laying down on the couch, covering his nose. His nose was bleeding, and there was blood all over his hands.
"Yeah, can you just give me a paper towel or two?" Sammy asked.
"Yeah, sure," Aubrie said.
She walked into the kitchen and grabbed two paper towels and walked back to Sammy.
"Thanks," Sammy said, moving his hand away from his nose.
"No," Aubrie said, moving the paper towels away, "let me, you hold the bridge of your nose," she said, Sam obeying.
She then set the paper towels on his nose, dabbing the blood away, and asking him if it hurt.
Aubrie, who still had her hand under Sam's nose, turned around and said, "You guys can leave now."
I was still watching Sam, and he smiled, and held up his hand, which was balled into a fist, except for his thumb. Which was up, pointing toward the sky.
I smiled and turned around, "Alright guys, lets give them their privacy," I said, while motioning them out of the door.
We walked out, and everyone tried their best to hide, but also watch through the window.
I had the best view.
I saw Aubrie patting under his nose. Then, Sammy pushed her hands away and sat up, saying, "Really, I'm okay. I was just kidding, actually. I just did this to get you to actually talk with me, alone. We had this all planned out, and this was a part of it. If it went wrong, we had a Plan B and C. It's actually quite funny, because every guy was in on it, and this," he said, pointing to the blood, "it's all fake, I walked in here, in hopes of you not following, went to the bathroom, and put the fake blood on. Then, I walked out here, made some noises like I was actually hurt, and bam. Here we are," he finished, smiling like a goof.
"Are you kidding me?" Aubrie asked, sounding annoyed, yet a little relieved.
"No. Now, where was I? Oh, yeah, I was going to ask you a question," Sammy said.
"What is it?" Aubrie asked, crossing her arms and shifting her weight to the left.
"I want to ask this really pretty girl out, but I don't know how to, so I thought that I would ask you for help," Sammy said.
"Oh," Aubrie said, sounding a little discouraged, "well, you just gotta be sweet about it, and don't do it over text, because that's not how you're supposed to ask somebody out. And make sure that she won't ever forget how you asked her out. That's very important," she finished, obviously sounding sad.
Then, I stopped watching. They walked out, at separate times, at different doors.
I ran over to Aubrie.
"You wanna talk about it?" I said.
"No," Aubrie said, walking away.
Then, I walked over to Ciara and Mahogany.
"I feel really bad and she won't talk to me," I said.
"I actually think that Sammy was kidding," Mahogany said.
"No, I don't think so. He's not that good at acting," I said, giggling a little.
"I don't know how he acts, but I think that was pretty good," Ciara said.
"Whatever," I said, changing the subject.
About twenty minutes after that, Shawn walked over to me.
"Hey, can you go and get Aubrie? Sammy wants to talk to her," Shawn said, tapping my shoulder.
"What does he want to talk to her about? Because I don't want him to break her heart," I said.
"You'll see, just go get her," Shawn said.
"Fine," I said, walking off toward where she went.
I found her behind a bush and she was crying.
"Hey Aubz," I said.
She looked up at me, and her mascara smeared her face.
"Hi," she said, sounding like she was trying to hold back tears.
"Umm, well, not to make you angry or whatever, but Sammy wants to talk to you," I said.
"What does he want?" She asked, sniffling.
"That I don't know, but I think you should hear it. Lets clean your face up and go talk to him," I said.
And surprisingly, Aubrie listened and when we were done wiping off her mascara from her face, we walked out to where Sammy was and waited.
He was talking to the guys and finally turned around.
"So, uh, Aubrie," Sammy said.
"Yes, Sam?" Aubrie said, either sounding annoyed or excited.
"Well, you know how I asked you for some advice to ask a really pretty and sweet girl out?" Sammy asked.
"Yeah, so are you going to rub it in my face now?" Aubrie said.
"Actually, I had to ask you something else," Sammy said.
"What?" Aubrie said, standing up a little straighter.
"Well, um, Aubrie Elizabeth Janson, will you do me the honor, and go out with me?" Sammy asked, grabbing everybody's attention.
"Hmm...Let me think," Aubrie said, jokingly tapping her chin, "Of course, dumbo!"
She ran up to Sam and hugged him, and every one clapped.
I smiled to the point that my cheeks started to hurt.
I walked over to Shawn.
"So was that 'the surprise'?" I asked.
"Yeah. Was it good, like did it work?" Shawn asked, sounding anxious for an answer.
"Well, considering that before this Aubrie was crying behind a bush, then yes, I think so," I said, laughing and wrapping my arms around Shawn's waist, sideways, so we were standing shoulder to shoulder, but I had my arms wrapped around him.
I rested my head on his shoulder.
"They're going to be a cute couple," I said to Shawn.
"Like us?" Shawn asked.
"Yeah, like us," I said.
Shawn then leaned his head down and kissed my forehead.
I smiled.
I love Shawn so much.
