All because of you... [Sam Bettley fan fiction]

Chapter Eighteen

Author Note: I'm truly sorry for not being as 'on time' with updating as I normally am with my stories. I guess this one takes a LOT more focus and time, and I don't always have the time to be able to sit down and relax, to focus on what I'm going to create so I don't write something which will just, bore everyone I guess. I hope you don't mind my lateness - yet again with this chapter. I've been unwell and I've been unable to update as much.

The next morning. 

10AM

(Hazel POV)

I felt the sunlight on my eyelids, the hotness of the sun on my face. 

I woke up, and for the first time in what seemed like forever, I was happy to wake up, I was actually glad with being able to awake and feel okay. 

For so long, I had been in a depressed and lonely state of mind. But I guess when Sam came into my life, all of the sadness was covered, and I am finally able to be happy again. 

A friendship like ours was rare, it was something which you can only imagine being in a book, or another predictable romantic comedy. But no, this was reality, and it was all happening to me. 

I opened my eyes, and smiled at my reflection in the mirror, yes, I looked terrible, my hair was everywhere and my face was almost like a childs attempt at using mummy's make-up for the first time. 

I stood up, looking down at myself, I still had everything on from last night, now, normally I wouldn't be happy to wake up in such a state, but this time I didn't care. I had been out with the most amazing guy last night, and I really just wanted to be able to say I've done that for the whole of my life.

I walked to my bedroom door, unlocking it, I didn't know what time of the morning it was, but for some reason, I decided I didn't care anymore, I'd just let time fly past me, I was living in the moment, and it made me feel wonderful. 

I was no longer waking up, crying at the fact my past was terrible, the fact I have no parents, and my grandmother has gone, she's not here anymore. I was able to smile for once, not give a damn. 

I got into the bathroom, locking the door and stripping down, wiping my make-up from my face and then jumping into the warm water, washing all of this new confidence off, I guess this was a feeling that wouldn't last long, but at that moment, I couldn't give a fuck.

Meanwhile... 

(Sam POV)

"Maybe we should let Sam choose instead then!" Ben snapped at the guys. 

I jumped from my day dream and into the present. "What?" I asked. 

Ben sighed and rolled his eyes. "What film we should all watch! Nobody knows which one to choose. Pick for us Sam, out of these three." He said, holding three DVD boxes out infront of me. 

I shrugged and pointed to a random one, James and Ben cheered, whilst Cameron and Danny sighed. 

"You're a shit movie picker!" Danny yelled at me. 

I just winked and chuckled at his childish behaviour. 

Then I went back into my daze, thinking of my night with Hazel last night. I had just been so happy with her, she was such a funny person when you really got to know her. And it just proved how beautiful she was, inside and out. 

I hoped that she also had a good time, and that her hangover wasn't too much. I wanted to text her, but I presumed that she'd still be asleep right about now. 

Right now I was sitting on a tour bus, yet again. Touring never really stops for us, but after this tour, I get around three months off to do whatever I like, with a couple of shows here and there. But not too far away. 

When I get home, I know the first thing I'll do is ask Hazel if she wants to go out again, then I wanted to be able to expand on our relationship, last night proved that we are meant for eachother. We love the same things, and we're both quite wild when we want to be. 

I smiled to myself, thinking of her singing in the kareoke bar whilst drunk. 

11AM

(Hazel POV)

I sat on the couch, looking through my text messages from Sam, our conversations made me smile so much. 

I wanted to text him, but I knew he was on tour and he'd probably be a little too busy to stop and have a chat with me. Plus, I didn't want to get in the way or pester him. I wanted things between us to kind of, perfectly come together. 

I wanted a friendship - already done. Then I wanted to develop that, to make it special. 

"Morning." I heard someone say in my ear, I raised my eyebrows, locking my phone and looking around to see Rachel just sitting next to me. 

"Good morning." I replied. 

She looked right into my eyes. "You're up early, for the state you were in last night, Joey let you in and he said you were groggy." 

I chuckled. "I don't know how I'm awake really. And I only have a small headache, and it's now going as I've taken a tablet." 

She smiled and nodded. "How did your night go?" She asked.

I nodded. "Great thanks, it was awesome seeing Sam again, just before his tour, it started today, so that means he'll be back in about a month or so. I can deal with that I guess." I smiled.

She frowned. "Are you two a couple then?" 

I quickly answered that, shaking my head and laughing. Although I wanted to be dating Sam. "No, no. We're just close friends. I meant that as in, I'm going to miss him again. I don't think he likes me in that way.." 

She raised her eyebrows. "Are you kidding me?!" She said. "The way he looks at you, he wants you, but I guess he feels like he can't have you yet. Play it out, see where the friendship goes. Do you like him like that?" 

I laughed. "I doubt he thinks like that, I see him as a friend at the moment. But you never know, I might have feelings for him after a while. Maybe after seeing him again." I lied. 

I knew I really liked Sam, and Rachel can tell that, so I don't see why she had to ask. I smiled to myself at what she had just said though, did he really like me? Or was it just a thing to play off on?
