"Okay. I trust you". A Kian Lawley & Sam Pottorff story

Chapter 9.

**Sam's P.O.V.** Ohyes. Yolo, I guess.

Everything about Billy is amazing. Her blonde hair that comes to her shoulders, her stunning green eyes that I love to see looking into mine, the little freckles on her cheeks, the slight dimple that only appeared on her left cheek when she smiled really big... she was beautiful. I don't understand how someone like her could be with someone like me. When she agreed to being my girlfriend, I was the happiest man alive. She made me feel so comfortable. I knew I could say or do anything with her around, and she clearly felt the same when she suggested building the fort. Having her in my arms for those hours we slept there felt amazing. Like this is all I wanted. Then, I realized it was. I knew I probably shouldn't ask her out, because Kian had told me a week before he had feelings for her, and Aria had always had a crush on me. Not that I minded, I would have dated her, but Kian always told me to stay away from her. I understood. I wouldn't want him to date her if she was my sister.

Everything was great. I had the best friends anyone could have and the best girlfriend in the world.

I was so excited Billy had waited until I was there to tell them. I was also planning to, but Kian kept calling and texting me last night to know what happened. First, he texted me, and I told him I would tell him tomorrow, like Billy and I decided. But, Kian was being stubborn. He continued to call me, and I knew he wouldn't stop until I told him.So, I did. He was really quiet after. He just mumbled a few words and hung up. I thought he might be angry, but I figured he would be happy for us. Boy, was I wrong.

I was walking up the street towards Kians. Aria had texted me letting me know Billy was there, and they were about to leave for school. I saw Kian and Billy outside talking. I assumed they were waiting for me. I began jogging up to them when I saw Kian lean in and kiss her. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Billy was trying to push him away, and when she did, I started yelling.

"LAWLEY!" I saw Billys eyes widen as I yelled. "I tell you Billy and I are dating because you begged me all night to tell you what happened, and then you kiss her! Right here where I can see it!! What the hell?!" I felt as if I were going to hit him. I knew I shouldn't. I clenched my fist and turned to terrified Billy. "We date for one day and you let him kiss you. You let my best friend kiss you. I bet you wouldn't even have told me unless I saw it for myself. Huh, would you?!" I saw tears fill her eyes. "Sam...." Was all she said. I small tear escaped her eye and ran down her cheek. "That's what I thought." I quickly pushed past her, and walked away. I heard Kian say something about me being fine. He knew damn right how mad I was. In the distance, I could barely hear someone yelling. I knew it was Billy. I can't believe it. She probably didn't even care. If she did, she would've came after me.. Wouldn't she? I felt myself becoming more and more mad the closer I got to school. I considered skipping, but the principal made it very clear that if I didn't come to school without a reason again, I would be suspended. So that unfortunately wasn't an option, although going to school was the last thing I wanted to do.

The rest of the day went by really slow. Billy wasn't there. Maybe she really was upset.. The thought of her crying made me feel horrible. I was walking into the lunch room when someone grabbed my arm. I stopped and saw Aria looking up at me.

"What?" I asked. I couldn't help but feel mad at her. I mean, she must know what happened. But at the same time I wanted to hug her. I was so alone all day and I think she might have the answers I've been looking for. So, I did. As I pulled away from our unexpected hug she blushed.

"You okay?" She asked still slightly pink. "I know about what happened."

"I'll be fine. I'm really pissed, but I haven't done anything stupid yet" Except maybe hurt a girl I really care about......

She laughed at this. Everyone knew I had a bit of a temper. I tend to do things I end up regretting when I'm mad. "That's good. Kian is eating in his classroom to finish up something.. Do you wanna sit with me, and I'll explain?" Aria must've saw that I was worried about Billy, so she added, "Billy stayed home. I texted her during break to see how she was. She hasn't answered me yet. She's probably sleeping. That's what she does when she's upset." Okay. This does help.

"Alright. And yes, please explain." We sat down and she told me everything. When she told me how upset Billy got after, I felt horrible. It was my fault she was home right now by herself. Partly Kians too, but I had made it worse. I was still mad at Kian, but not nearly as mad as I was at myself. I needed to fix this.

"Thanks for letting me know. You're not bad." I said winking at her. As I walked away I saw her smile. Even though she was with Eric, I knew she still liked me deep down. It was something I probably shouldn't take advantage of.

I walked into the boys bathroom and texted Billy.

Sam:"Hey babe. I'm really sorry. Aria told me what happened."

Sam:"Answer me please Billy. I miss you! I was just jealous, okay? Please?"

It wasn't until about 4:30 when she answered me.

Billy: "It's okay Sam. Call me? :/"

I exhaled a breath of relief. I could still fix all of this. I called her after about 20 minutes of thinking of what I should say. I was sorry. It has only been a day and I already screwed everything up. I sighed and dialed her number.

It rang about three times before she picked up. "Hello?"

"Hi, uhm, Billy I'm really, really sorry. I feel horrible right now. Aria told me what happened and how upset you were and I never wanted to make you feel that way again because you just mean so much to me and--"

She cut me off. I realized I had been rambling. "Sam. It's okay. I know. Aria is here now and I'm fine. You mean a lot to me too. That's why I'm your girlfriend."

I didn't know what to say. She forgave me so fast. I thought I was going to have to literally beg her like I would have to with any other girl. She was too good for me.. "You're amazing." I said into the phone. I couldn't see her, but I could tell she was smiling. Not one of her big smiles where her dimple is visible, but a smile. This made me happy.

"You are too Sammy." she replied. There was a pause, then she said, "You should really call Kian. He's afraid he ruined you're friendship.."

"Well, he definitely didn't help it any!" I replied.

"I know. And I don't expect you guys to be right back to normal, but I don't want you guys to stop being friends over something like this. Not over me." I sighed. I knew she was right. If I didn't work things out with Kian, she would just blame herself.

"Alright, I'll call him."

"Good! You're the best!", she cheered. "Call me later?"

"I will! Bye Billy."

"Bye Sammy!"

And with that, I called Kian.
