ALL FOR YOU

CHAPTER 17

"Sam... I- I have to leave for... For England." BOOM!!!.

" what?" maybe I didn't actually catch that right.

"I have to leave for England." he said.

"why?" I asked.

"I got a call about the job I applied for a few months ago, they told me I'd be given the job if I could arrive in a week and-"

"you're leaving me because of a job?"

"Sam, listen to me first, I-"

"you're going to leave me and dad all alone in America because of a job?"

"it's not that, I- we are financially tight, and I just feel guilty for not being able to give you what you deserve and-"

"William I never ever complained to you" I was crying now. Under normal circumstances, I would have reacted a lot better to this, but Ethan made it ten times worse.

"that's the point, you never complain and that just fuels the guilt. You don't want to put me under pressure, so you deprive yourself of so many things. Sam, I don't want that for you. This job is really important and if you would just listen to-"

"I thought you said I was more important than anything in this world. You told me that Liam!." I was screaming and shouting and crying. I felt hurt, anger, pain. I knew I was just directing the anger I felt for Ethan at Liam, but I really needed to scream and cry, and what am hearing now seems like the perfect excuse.

"you know what, forget it, if you don't want me to go, then I won't okay?"

"I don't want you to go" I said. Yeah selfish bitch, I know, but I don't even want to think about Liam leaving me.

"okay, so will you please stop crying?" he asked and I nodded, my sobs ceasing instantly.

"now let me see that smile." he said and I grinned like a kid that just lost her front tooth.

"good girl" he said wiping my left over tears away. He picked me up and took me to my room.

"I won't leave okay? And just so you know, you are the most important thing in this world to me" he said pecking my forehead as he tucked me in. Selfish, stingy Sam. Selfish, stingy Sam, selfish stingy Sam. I chanted until I fell asleep.

Ethan's pov:

Am going to ask her, am going to ask her. God am so stressed right now and it's still Monday. My door flew open and Lola ran in with her phone.

"read this, read this" she said jumping up and down.

"Lola, the screen is blank" I said and she pulled it back, tapped it a few times then cursed.

"battery flat. your laptop. Hurry" she said and I sighed dramatically and pulled out my laptop. I typed in the password and turned to her.

"then what?"

"Facebook, Micheal James Murphy" she said and I furrowed my eyebrow at her.

"why are we checking up on Mike?" I asked.

"just do it will you" I turned back and logged in to my Facebook account. I checked the latest notification from Mike. My heart leaped a thousand feet. I waited four years for this.

MICHAEL MARK MURPHY, 10:39pm:

Finally coming home after four long years.

Mike is my older brother. My mum had him about five years before my birth mum had Lola and I. Even though we only share the same dad, I love him as much as I would love an elder brother. He's kinda on the strict side, and I found out that he made my mum send me to Italy after the fight with Aiden, but I didn't hold it against him. He did that for my own good. Am glad he sent me there. I mean look at me, am a changed person - sort of. Although he doesn't know that I'm back yet. Oh he's in for a big surprise.
