chapter seventeen

hey guys!

so i wanted to just quickly tell you guys that there won't be that many chapters more of this story!

that being said, i will be writing another sam mctrusty fanfiction so yeah, there's that!

ive had a much better idea so i just want to tell you guys that ill let you know when that story is up!

chapter seventeen

" Sam, I'm really nervous."

" It's okay, Jamie," I laugh. " It's just a rollercoaster."

" But it's huge!" she cries, scrunching up her face in fear. I chuckle and grab her hand, linking it with my own.

" It's okay. Honestly. It's not even scary. I've been on this one a hundred and one times, it'll be child's play," I tell her, even though I know it's one of the scariest rides at this park.

She fake pouts at me before nodding apprehensively. " Okay. Let's go."

We walk over to one of the carts and I let Jamie climb in first, before I climb in beside her. When the worker comes over to buckle us in, Jamie grips my hand tightly, looking scared. I chuckle.

As the ride begins, I pull Jamie's head into my chest and let her cuddle into me.

She screams all through out and I have to hold back my laughter. Though the ride is scary, it's not that bad.

When it finally stops, she looks up at me and glares. " Why did agree to do this?"

It has been three months since the night her grandfather passed away, and she agreed to come on tour with the band so we wouldn't have to be away from each other. We're currently in the blistering heat of LA, at a small theme park.

" Because you love me," I smirk.

" Because I love you." She kisses my nose lightly and I chuckle.

We clamber out of the ride and meet the lads outside. " Jesus, Jamie, we thought you'd fallen out or something with all the screaming you were doing!" Barry exclaims.

I laugh as Jamie slaps him across the arm jokingly, pulling a grumpy face.

" What do you want to do next?" I question, looking between my friends and girlfriend.

Ross shrugs. " I'm not sure there's much else to do before the concert."

Craig looks down at his watch. " We've only got a few hours. Should we go back to the hotel and get ready?"

I nod. " Yeah, I think we probably should."

***

An hour later, I emerge from the bathroom having showered, wearing a white tee-shirt, black jeans, a black hoodie, and my blue Dr. Martens.

Jamie is sitting in front of the mirror curling her hair, humming along with Bruce Springsteen's Dancing in the Dark. I walk up behind her and place a kiss on the back of her perfectly curled head as she finishes the last piece.

" You're sure you'll be okay tonight?" I ask quietly as she stands up, smoothing down her black, cherry patterned dress.

She nods. " I'll be fine. Aimmi will be with me."

I step towards her and cup her cheeks, kissing her soundly on the lips. She nibbles my bottom lip slightly as I pull away, making me giggle.

" You're giggling," she points out.

" So?" I ask.

" You never giggle."

I shrug. " Oh well."

***

" I've been dreaming for days, lost in time and sleep as we start to embrace!" I sing the lyrics as loud as I can as the audience goes wild, screaming the words back to me. " I've been dreaming for days, reality stops my breath as we start to engage! We start to engage!"

I finish the song as the crowd erupt into screams. One more left. I glance to the back of the stage where Jamie is cheering and smiling wider than I've seen in a while.

" LA, there's only two songs left!" I scream. " I can't believe how many of you have shown up tonight! We only have you to thank! And of course our mums, who sadly couldn't be here!" I smile for the next part. " And my girlfriend is here! Everyone make some noise!"

I examine everyone's faces as they cheer for Jamie, and thankfully they are all smiling. I breath a sigh of relief.

" Okay, if you know the words sing along!" I pause as the music starts. " Are you still out there?. . ."

***

" You know I love you right?" I whisper in the darkness, turning over to face her back.

" Of course I do." She pauses. " And I love you, too."

I can't stop myself from saying it. " But I love you always."

" I love you always, too."

She flips around to give me a quizzical look and I sigh. " Nothing."

" No, tell me?"

" It doesn't matter. . . I don't quite know myself."

I pull her into me and we lay together, counting each other's heartbeats until we drift off to sleep.
