The Way I Loved You-WTLGD2

Pinky Swears and Little White Lies

-Bailey's Inner monologue-

As we got farther and farther away from school I became aware that Sam had no intention of being back in time for the bell. He just drove in silence,jaw clenched...eyes squinting...I know that look, I have three protective brothers, they all get that same look...it is not a happy one...fantastic.

*Sam pulls into his driveway and shuts off the car then gets out and walks inside without saying a word, B waits in the car for a minute unsure if this was their final destination before getting out and following Sam inside*

*B walks in and finds Sam in the kitchen pouring a bowl of cereal*

(Bailey) so....we are skipping school so you can eat cereal?

(Sam) I can take you back if you want

(Bailey) *shakes her head * no...I want to stay

*Sam walks over and sits on the couch, B takes a seat on a chair beside the couch tossing her backpack down to rest beside her. B sits in silence waiting for Sam to speak*

(Bailey) what are we doing here?

(Sam) *shrugs* I dunno...isn't this what you wanted?

(Bailey) to sit in awkward silence and watch you eat cereal....not really *snarky*

(Sam) well what is it that you want Bailey? Make up your mind. You want me to care about you but not TOO much and you want me to be willing to break rules for you but this apparently is too awkward...

(Bailey) yea...cause you are upset...this whole outing has felt like one big perp walk...just yell at me and get it over with. I'm not one for foreplay when it comes to fighting.

(Sam) you got out of the car last night and just walked off....why did you do that?

(Bailey) b-cause you were mad

(Sam) yea, mad but I still love you Bailey. My dad taught me to never go to bed angry...because you will just wake up angry...

(Bailey) I texted you! I asked you to come back so we could talk it out...you said no

(Sam) yea...because by the time you sent me that I was so mad that you wouldn't have wanted me there

(Bailey) *tears* I don't know what you want me to say....I'm Sorry that I upset you with what I said...I was just trying to be honest...ya know....I sacrifice a lot when it comes to tour. I put my life on hold and I do it willingly but I'm home now. I just want to spend time with you...I just wish you felt the same...

(Sam) I do!

(Bailey) yea...but if you had called me last night and said...come over I want to talk to you...I would have done it

(Sam) and you would have gotten grounded...

(Bailey) so what! I spend months of my life in random hotel rooms and on a bus prisoner to the tour...when I'm home I want to live my life...even if it means getting grounded once in a while...

(Sam) you see it as me not wanting to spend time with you...but I see it as...I can't spend time with you if you are grounded...I love you Bailey....I just....I don't know what you want...I can't be like Jake

(Bailey)*frustrated* GOD!! I don't want you to be like Jake!

*B stands up and walks outside onto the porch slamming the door behind her*

*B sits down on the front step and starts to cry, Sam walks out and sits down beside her with a sigh*

(Bailey) is this what we are going to do? Just fight? Cause if that's the case...just take me back to school.*folds her arms on top of her knees and buries her head in*
