*ੈ✩‧₊˚ "WE'RE GOING"

odessa looked up from her book, snapping the pages shut "what are you doing here?" she questioned, starring back at sam. her heart began to quicken, something she wished hadn't happened "go home."

"if you're coming with me, i will" sam stated, she pointed at the door behind her. where poppy and helen stood. "let's go."

"samantha she's not going anywhere." poppy exclaimed "since when has she been your little toy you can pass around. news flash, she doesn't want you"

"we are going" sam gritted her teeth, ignoring her ex teammates voice.

"please, just go home" odessa pleaded. she stood up off poppys couch, covering her stomach with her arms.

"come home with me" sam begged back "come back to melbourne, please."

odessa shook her head "i'm not going back to melbourne, sam. . . ever, unless it's for training next year" she muttered, her eyes dropping to the floor.

"what?" sam whispered, her lips parting in shock "you're really gonna stay up here, with her?"

"can we not do this?" odessa pleaded again "please just leave sam."

"she doesn't want to leave" poppy snapped, crossing her arms over her chest "leave the poor girl alone."

"shut up" helen yelled. hushing her. "odessa, get in the car"

odessa's eyes wondered from her bestfriend to sam. "i am not going back to melbourne."

"get in the car" sam replied.

odessa didn't budge. she continued to stand in the middle of poppy's living room. "no."

"fucking hell, odessa" sam groaned. she took a final glance at the two blonde girls standing at the door before reaching her hand out, wrapping her fingers around odessa's wrist lightly.

"sam— sam no" odessa protested lightly with her words. not making a move to retract sam's hand from her wrist.

"samantha" poppy cried out, reaching her hand out to stop them.

helen slapped her hand back quickly "don't even think about touching sam, about touching either of them."

sam dragged odessa through poppys lawn, she unlocked helen's car. shoving odessa into the passenger seat before locking the car up again, running back inside to helen and poppy. "let's go"

helen shook her head, exiting the front door "take her back to mine, i'll catch an uber."

sams eyebrows knitted "it's your car—"

"there's some serious stuff the two of you need to talk about, and i don't want to be there for that conversation. just for the wedding" helen smiled at sam. "i'll make sure the crazy bitch doesn't follow you guys back either."
