Living with my ex-bestfriend

Are we no longer enemies? Chapter 3

Sam's POV

It was late. I had been driving since I don't know how long ago. I had to get as far away from town as I could. My parents would probably kill me if they knew what I did. It's what I always do. Just most of the time I just do it in my head.

I run. I'm a runner. Tyler hurt me, ever since highschool started I haven't been able to trust anyone. The only people I can trust are those that know the least about me, they are the peeled that cant hurt me considering they practically know nothing about me.

I wiped the sash stray tears out of my eyes. I wouldn't let Tyler have this affect on me. I don't even know why i Still are about him... The way his hands felt around me... No. Stop Sam. Tyler never liked you, he's just playing with you, that who he is. A player.

Street lights passed by me in a blur. Everything was a blur. I didn't notice that there was a car following behind me. I only noticed when it started to tailgate behind me. I gave whoever it was in the car the finger, turning the music up as loud as it could. I just wanted to be free. I just wanted to restart my entire life.

"HHHHOOOONNNNKKKKKKKKKK" it was the car behind me. I glanced in my mirror. The person looked familiar, It was to dark to tell for sure though. I pulled over.

"Everything's going to be okay, Sam. Maybe it's one of your friends." I was trying to reassure myself that the person in the black van wasn't going to kidnap me and rape me.

I took one step out of my car, that's when I was pulled into strong warm arms.

"Don't ever do that to me again, Sammy. I was worried sick!" It was Tyler. Despite being mad at him I hugged him back as hard as I could. He was my bestfriend, he was the one person I used to always be able t trust and go to for advice. I needed him back.

"I-I'm sorry ty, I'm so sorry! I miss you so much, you were the one person that was always there for me..." I chocked out between gasps of air. I was crying, having Tyler there with me, holding me was like a dream come true.

"Shhhhh, I need to say something."

I nodded.

"Sammy....Sam..." Tyler looked like he was struggling to find the right words. It was a sight to see, his brown hair all messy, half hanging into his eyes. His blue eyes were sparkling with unshead tears and his cheeks were slightly red."you were my best friend. That night that you refused me the dance broke my heart. But I never wanted to hurt you as much as I realized I have. That's why I wrote you something... It's a poem..." His face went a bright red as he pulled out a crumpled piece of paper

"I could skip a heartbeat, and I would survive,

I could be in a car crash, and still be alive.

The clouds could fall out of the sky,

The oceans could disappear, and all turn dry.

These things in life are all bad I know,

but there's far worse things,

just thought you should know.

Life would not be the same without someone like you,

You're there when I need you to help me through.

Through the good times and through the bad

,

Be them happy, or be them sad.

I don't have to be with you, to know you're there,

We don't have to see each other, to know that we care.

We could be apart for years upon end,

and still remain the best of friends.

Life goes on, and people change,

And through it all, our friendship shall remain the same.

That's such as a life, and how things come to be.

Just thought you should know,

How much you mean to me"

[A/N poem written by Annie hall.]

Tyler's hands were shaking as he read the most beautiful poem to me. He wrote it.

"Sammy... Please say something..."

"I...I don't know what to say. That was beautiful Ty." Tyler smiled and put his hand on my cheek.

"You're beautiful Sammy. Now would you please come home? I went crazy when you left." I just nodded, he pulled me into a hug and then we both got into our cars and drove back t my house.

It's crazy to think that just the other day me and Tyler were enemies. I don't exactly know what we are right now but what I do know is that making friends with the guy who so easily dumped my ass could not be a good thing...

When we got back to my house it was almost 2am, in the distance we could hear thunder rumbling. I had gotten pretty used to the thunderstorms by now, all the years with facing them alone. Although, they still freak me out. Tyler noticed that I was a little nervous

"Still scared of storms, eh?"

"Not really..." He raised his eyebrows as if to say, I don't believe you, "okay, yeah they still bother me. But don't judge! You know a lot of people are scared of thunderstorms!"

Tyler smiled and just stared at me, his brilliant white teeth showing through as I see his genuine smile since god knows how long. "I can come keep you company and make sure you're okay till you fall asleep if you want. Just like old times." He noticed my hesitation. Even if we were trying to be friends again I wasn't going to fall for hi player ways ! "I promise I won't try anything, Sammy. I just want to make it up to you and show you that I am ready to change, I am ready to be your friend again.i promise. I will never hurt you again."

"Promise is a big word, Tyler."

A loud crash of thunder, louder then I have ever heard before roared through the room. Lightning lighting up the entire hallway. The rain started to putter patter against the window. The storm had started. I stepped closer to Tyler. "Ok, please stay with me" he smiled and took my hand, bringing me into my room.

The storm was getting louder and louder with each passing minute. There was no way I was getting any sleep tonight.
