Chapter #2
____________
Scarlett’s POV
I wake up to my phone ringing. It's midnight who’s calling. I see Ryan’s contact so I answer.
“Hey Babe. What’s up?” I ask tiredly.
“I’m sorry to do this over the phone Scarlett so I’ll be quick and get straight to the point. I’m sorry but I don’t think we are going to work out. I’m sorry Scarlett but we’re over.” He says before hanging up. I just start to sob and run to Sam’s room needing some comfort and I know she’ll be up because she is such a night owl. When I leave my room I see her light on so I go in and she is reading the book I got her for Hannaka. “Scarlett what’s wrong?” She says putting her book down. “Ryan.” Is all I’m able to say. “What did Ryan do?” She asks in a protective tone. “He broke up with me.” I tell her as I crawl into bed nest to her. “Come here Scar.” She says opening her arms. “That was a cowardly and dick move for him to do that over the phone. He never deserved you.” She tells me as she runs her hand through my hand. “What can I do to help you feel better?” She asks. “Will you read your book out loud your voice is comforting?” I ask and she nods and picks up her book and starts reading out loud.

Sam’s POV
I can’t believe he would do such a dick move especially to Scarlett. After reading about a chapter of my book and running my hand through Scarlett’s hair she is asleep. I think I should get some too so I take off my glasses and put my book and glasses on my nightstand and turn off the lamp and get settled being careful not to wake up Scarlett.

“Sam. Wake up, I made breakfast.” I hear Scarlett say softly. “Five more minutes.” I groan. “I’ve got coffee.” She says knowing I can’t say no to coffee. “With the Irish cream flavored creamer?” I ask. “Of course, but you have to get up to have any.” She says and I jump out of bed tripping and falling on my face causing her to burst out laughing. Before helping me up. “You are an ass.” I say rubbing my head. “But you love me.” She says. If you only knew. “Come on, I need coffee.” I say ushering her out of the room. “I think you have a coffee addiction.” She chuckles. “And you have an addiction to stealing my shirts.” I say playfully pushing her arm. “Hey I’m getting over a break up and I need comfort.” She says, making me smile. “Well in that case you can borrow my favorite hoodie it’s in my closet. “The one that makes me look tiny?” She asks. “Yeah you said you like to curl up in it when you’re cold at least that’s what you say when you take it.” I tell her. “What would I do without you Sam?” She says. “You wouldn’t have half of my shirts for one.” I chuckle as we walk into the kitchen. “So when will you be releasing your new single?” She asks. “This weekend.” I say as I steal a piece of her bacon. “I can’t wait and that was mine.” She says. “Do we have to go back to the whole shirt thing plus this isn’t how you get over a break up this is.” I say pulling out two tubs of ice cream. “It’s 09:00 in the morning Sam.” She says smiling. “Yes but this is how it’s done. Put some plastic wrap over the food and join me on the couch and we will put on Grey’s. I say and she smiles and gives in.

We ended up watching Grey’s Anatomy all day and Scarlett fell asleep on my lap. “If you only knew how much I love you.” I whisper.

Scarlett’s POV
“If you only knew how much how much I love you.” I hear Sam whisper thinking I’m asleep. I need to call Hunter later he always helps. Sam gently lifts my head and slides out from under me placing a pillow under my head as I continue to pretend to be asleep. When I hear her go into her studio I grab my phone and call my brother.
“Hey sis what’s up?” He asks
“Sam just said she loves me.” I tell him.
“Took her long enough she’s been in love with you since middle school. What did you say?” He asks.
“She thought I was asleep. She’s in love with me?” I ask.
“Oh shit she is going to kill me. I’ve got to go you should talk to her. And Scarlett you need to make your feelings about her clear. I know you two slept together she came to me panicked worried that she had just ruined your friendship because you left without a goodbye.” He says.
“I was scared I didn’t know what to do. Hunter why didn’t she tell me sooner. I would never had gotten with Ryan and I. Hunter I’m in love with her too and that night before I left just made me realize just how much I love her. Hunt I can’t lose her I love her.” I tell him.
“Then tell her stop beating around the bus. She’s head over heels for you. Now go tell her you love her and I don’t know go on a date.” He says.
“Hunter how do I tell my best friend of 26 years that I want to be more than friends that I’m in love with them?” I ask before I hear a glass drop to the floor I turn around to see Sam staring at me eyes wide.
“Hunter I’ll call you back.” I tell him before hanging up.
“Look Sam I can explain I um well I.” I stutter looking down before I feel her hands cupping my face and I look up since she’s taller. “I love you too. I have for a long time.” I don’t say anything I just pull her down and crash our lips together.
