*Alyssa's POV*
I pull into my driveway, and Sam is waiting for me on my front steps.
"Where the hell have you been?"
"I drove Jack home."
"That was like an hour ago! Nate lives like 15 minutes away! Don't lie to me!"
"What the hell are you talking about? I drove Jack to his house."
"Why would you do that?"
"Because that's where he lives? Why would I drive him to Nate's?"
"He didn't tell you?"
"Tell me what, Sam?"
"He's been staying with Nate. He wanted Nate to keep him on track. I thought you knew that."
"Oh. Well he never even said anything about staying with Nate, even after I dropped him off at his own house."
"Guys it's not that big of a deal" Nate says.
"Whatever. That still doesn't explain where you've been for the last hour."
"Sam, you're not my dad! And you're not my boyfriend either, so don't worry about where I've been. I don't have to tell you anything."
"Alyssa I've been looking out for you for the past couple of months. I'm worried about you. You know I care about you."
"I know Sam, I know. But I'm a big girl I can take care of myself. You don't need to know where I am every second of the day."
"You're right, I'm sorry princess."
"It's fine Sammy."
"Okay well I'm going back to my house to clean up. Nate's having a little party later on tonight. You're invited to come."
"Okay. I'll see you guys later then."
Sam comes over to me and pulls me into his arms for a tight hug.
"I'll see you later princess."
"Bye Sammy."
Sam gets in his car and drives off. Nate comes up to me.
"So what really happened at Jack's?"
"Nothing Nate."
"Uh huh, yeah okay."
"Why do you want to know?"
"I'm just curious" he says with a smirk.
"Well, we kissed and stuff."
"And stuff? You used protection right?"
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure we did."
"You're pretty sure?"
"Yeah now stop freaking me out!"
"Okay, okay! I'm sorry. I'm just looking out for you and Jack."
"Thanks, but I think we can take care of ourselves."
"Alright, well I'll see you later. Maybe you'll leave the attitude at home tonight? Oh and wear something sexy because I'm pretty sure Jack will be there."
"He's going to a party? Do you really think it's a good idea for him to be going to a party?"
"He's just going to be there for moral support. He's not drinking or anything" Nate says laughing.
"Yeah, okay."
"Whatever crab, I'll see you later." Nate says as he kisses my cheek.
He gets in his car and pulls away.
*a few hours later*
My phone starts ringing right as I get out of the shower. I run to answer it.
"Hello?"
"Hey babe."
"Hey Jack, what's up?"
"Not much. Are you going to Nate's party tonight?" he asks.
"Yeah, Sam asked me to go. Are you going?"
"Nah, I told Nate I would but I don't really feel like partying. Everyone's going to be drunk and it's just going to be annoying. I was actually wondering if you wanted to come over instead of going to the party" he explains.
"Well I actually promised Sam that I would go with him to the party. He was pissed off earlier when I was at your house for "too long", so I have to go with him tonight. I'm sorry."
"Oh okay. That's fine. I'll just talk to you later then?"
"Okay."
I hang up the phone and finish getting ready. Sam rings the doorbell a few minutes later.
"Alyssa?" He says as he walks into my room.
"I'll be right out Sammy!" I yell from my closet.
I walk out in this little red dress that Sam bought me the day after Jack moved out. He always buys me little gifts and it's so sweet of him.
"Wow princess, you look gorgeous" he says with a smile.
"Thanks Sammy" I say kissing his cheek.
"Ready to go?"
"Yep."
Sam grabs my hand and leads me downstairs and out to his car. We get in and head to the party.
