Chapter 200

200 chapters already! Dang! I started this book about 2 years ago...time really flies. I'm gonna try to make this a longer chapter for like a 200th chapter celebration lol. Enjoy loves! :)
(Sammy's P.O.V)
I walked out the door without saying anything. I'm afraid that if I say anything then I'll snap. I've had a lot of anger built up recently. From Jade and Taylor being friends again, to Jade nearly getting raped last night. I've just gotten a lot built up inside me. Anger, sadness, confusion, etc. I hide my emotions so that I don't break down in front of people. I hate crying in front of people. It doesn't matter who it is, I just hate crying in front of people. I've always been the person to help others when they're upset rather than help myself. I put everyone before me which is sometimes a good thing but it can also be a curse.
I'm not sure how long I'll be out. Maybe a couple of hours. Ive already been out for about 45 minutes. I need to cool down and set myself straight, but things are getting worse.
(Jade's P.O.V)
I laid my head on the arm of the chair and sighed. Sammy has been gone for about an hour or less. It feels weird not having him here.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Taylor asked me.
"Just wondering where Sammy is, that's all." I replied.
"Hey, Sammy will be back soon." Colt whispered to me and I smiled slightly.
"Thanks Colt." I replied.
He smiled back and then we listened to everyone else's conversations.
**
*2 and a half hours later*
2 hours later and Sammy still isn't back. Now I'm even more worried. He hasn't texted or called me. I have no idea where he could be or why he's been gone for so long but it's scaring me. I'm trying to act calm in front of everyone and they're buying it, but I need to be alone.
I got up, grabbed my phone, and walked up to my room and quietly shut the door. I paced back and fourth in my room and started to breath heavily. What if he's hurt? What if his phones dead and he's in trouble? So many 'what ifs' are running through my head right now.
I dialed Sammy's number and called him. It rang until the voicemail picked up the call. Dammit Sammy where are you?
"Jade, it's Taylor. Can I come in?" Taylor knocked on my door.
I opened the door and he came inside.
"Come with me outside. You need some air." He said.
We walked downstairs and sat down on the bench in the front yard on the porch.
"It's gonna be okay Jade. He'll come back soon." Taylor said.
"He's never been gone for this long without saying anything to me Taylor. You guys don't know him like I do. He wouldn't just leave li this without checking in and telling me he's okay." I replied.
"He'll be back Jade Elizabeth. He wouldn't just leave and not come back. Calm down Jade. Take deep breaths." Taylor placed his hand over mine.
I'm not sure if I should keep his hand there. It brings back memories. I feel weird but I don't want to make him feel embarrassed or awkward.
"What the hell?" A voice said.
I jumped and pulled my hand away from Taylor's. It was Sammy. He was standing in the driveway staring at us.
"Sam, trust me it's not like that." I quickly said.
"Well it's not a nice sight to see; my girlfriend holding hands with her ex." Sammy said.
He's obviously mad. It makes me nervous.
"He was just helping me out." I stood up.
Sammy walked up to and stood in front of me.
"She didn't do anything wrong Sam." Taylor said.
"I wasn't talking to you Taylor." Sam scoffed at Taylor.
"Don't be rude to him Sam. Taylor go inside please." I spoke and Taylor nodded.
He walked inside and Sammy didn't say anything.
"Sam, it wasn't like that. He was just calming me down." I said.
"I don't care. I don't want my girlfriend holding hands with her damn ex." Sammy snapped.
"Okay calm down. All he was doing was trying to make me feel better because you left without saying a word to me and you didn't even return my calls." I snapped back.
"Since when do I have to tell you where I'm going and when I'll be back? You're not my mother." Sammy rolled his eyes.
I don't know why he's being like this. He's usually never been this rude to me.
"Well sometimes I like to know where my boyfriend is so then I don't have to worry." I said.
"Maybe I just wanted to be alone. Ever think of that? No cause you're too busy holding hands with your fucking ex." Sammy said.
I'm about to lose it. He's seriously frustrating me. I'm not sure if I'm gonna cry or yell. Why is he being like this?
"We weren't holding hands!" I yelled.
"Then what were you guys doing? You're hands were on top of each other and you guys were sitting close and shit!" Sammy yelled right back.
"I already told you why our hands were touching! It's not that big of a deal Samuel!" I yelled.
I only call him Samuel when I get frustrated really bad with him, so I usually never call him that.
"Whatever. Go hold hands with him again or something." He scoffed.
"You know what? Talk to me when you're done being a dick. Maybe then I can actually get it through your head that he's only my friend and you're the one I love." I pushed past him and went to walk inside, but he grabbed my wrist.
I spun around and Sammy's features were much more soft now. His face was like normal and his body wasn't tense anymore. His eyes looked a little watery.
He pulled me to him and wrapped his arms around me but I didn't hug him back.
"I'm so so sorry Jade. I'm just upset right now. I should know that you would never do something like to me and I'm sorry for freaking out on you. I shouldn't have taken my anger out on you. I regret everything I said. I was being a complete dick and I'm sorry." Sammy apologized.
I sighed and hugged him back.
"It's okay. I know how protective you can get. I should've realized that. Why are you so angry though Sammy?" I asked.
Sammy pulled away and led me to the bench where we sat down on. He took a deep breath before speaking.
"It just, it bothers me that you and Taylor are friends. After all the shit he did to you, you still decide to forgive him and be friends. I get nervous when you guys are around each other since he is your ex. I shouldn't be so insecure about it but I know how easy it is for him to steal you away from me and I'm scared. I probably sound like a complete girl right now too, but I can't help it." Sammy explained.
I grabbed his hand and held it in mine and gently ran the thumb across his knuckles.
"Babe, I understand how you feel. Taylor and I are only friends and that's all we'll ever be. I swear. I love you and only you. Even if he tired to get back with me, I'd tell him no. I don't want to relive all of the stuff he's done cause I know it'll happen again. I have no trust in him to be in a relationship with him. What's a relationship without trust?" I said.
"You're right. I'm sorry for being such a child about this. I'm just stupid sometimes. I shouldn't have put all of this on you. You didn't deserve it and-" I cut Sammy off by placing my hands on his cheeks and bringing his face to mine.
I connected our lips and he kissed me back. Sammy apologized too much for things he shouldn't be apologizing for. He doesn't need to apologize for being upset that I'm friends with Taylor or that he feels like he'll lose me to him. I know Sammy really feels bad for yelling at me though. I can see it in his eyes.
"I love you." Sammy said when he pulled away.
"I love you too." I smiled.
We got up and Sammy grabbed my hand and we walked inside.
"Is everything okay? We heard yelling." Andrea asked.
"Yep. It's all good." I smiled.
"Go get ready. I'm taking you somewhere." Sammy whispered in my ear and I nodded.
"What should I wear?" I asked.
"Whatever you want." He replied.
I kissed his cheek and then walked up to my room. I stood in front of my closet, deciding on what I should wear. I'm not sure what to wear actually.
Andrea and Acacia walked into my room and questioned me.
"Where are you guys going?" Acacia asked.
"I'm not sure. He said to get ready and wear whatever I want." I replied.
"You should wear something cute. Like a cute crop top and some shorts. And you should only wear mascara." Andrea said.
"Alright. Pick out an outfit for me and I'll wear it." I said.
The girls rummaged through my closet and found a white shirt with long maroon sleeves, light colored shorts, and my white converse. I put the clothes on and the girls smiled.
"You look so cute!" Andrea exclaimed.
"Thanks." I smiled.
"We should curl the ends of your hair." Acacia said and I nodded.
We went to the bathroom and they plugged in my curling wand. Once it heated up, Acacia began curling the ends of my hair while Andrea applied some mascara to my eyelashes. Everyone says I look the same without makeup but I still like to wear it. I don't apply a lot but I also don't use foundation.
When they finished, they both smiled at what they had done and so did I.
"Well let's go get your boyfriend." Andrea said.
We walked downstairs and when we reached the bottom, Andrea parted my hair into two sections and draped my hair over my shoulders. I thanked her and then walked to Sammy.
"Well you look gorgeous." He smiled.
"Thank you." I blushed.
"We'll see you guys later." Sammy said as he took my hand.
Kian walked over to me and hugged me and kissed my forehead. Taylor waved to me so I waved back and Sammy's grip on my hand tightened, but I stroked my thumb over his knuckles and he loosened his grip. We walked out to my car and he drove.
"Hey, I love you." I said before Sammy started the car.
"I love you too." He smiled slightly.
I leaned over and pecked his lips, then he started the car and drove off. He turned on the radio and Same Old Love by Selena Gomez was playing. We sang along and he placed his hand on my thigh like usual.
"So where are we going babe?" I asked.
"You'll see." Sammy replied.
"Fine." I smiled.
Minutes later we arrived at a frozen yogurt place. We got out and walked inside.
"I love frozen yogurt!" I smiled.
"That's why I decided to take you here." Sammy smiled back.
We got our frozen yogurt and then walked back outside. It's 8 pm so it's getting dark. We decided to walk around town for a little bit while eating our yogurt since we just wanted to spend time together.
"So why did you want to take me out?" I asked.
"What? A guy can't just take his girl out without having a reason?" Sammy chuckled.
"Well we usually don't go out with just us often." I laughed.
We threw away our cups and then walked down to the beach and he sat us down on a bench.
"I want to make up for earlier. I feel bad for snapping at you like that. I was being a complete dick for no reason." Sammy said.
"I understand how you felt. It's okay. I forgave you and everything's fine now." I replied.
"But it's not." He sighed and ran his fingers through his hair.
"Babe, listen to me. You're okay. You don't need to be upset with yourself because of what happened. Couples always have little arguments and that's perfectly fine. Relationships aren't perfect and neither are humans. I love you okay?" I placed my hands on his cheeks.
"I can't help it. I feel so bad Jade. I love you too but I hate how upset I got." Sammy looked me in the eyes.
I could see how sad he was. His face wasn't all smiley and happy like usual. He looked sad and depressed.
I brought his face to mine and connected our lips. His lips were warm and melted perfectly with mine. Sammy is also a phenomenal kisser so that's a good thing about being with him, but that's a bonus.
I scooted closer to him and he depended the kiss and placed his hands on my hips. I really don't care that we're in public. If I want to make out with my boyfriend after a long difficult day then I will.
A little bit later Sammy pulled says and we leaned our foreheads together.
"I love you." He smiled.
"I love you too." I smiled as well.
Sammy wrapped his arm around me and I leaned my head in his shoulder and we watched the sunset. It was very beautiful and I loved it. It's times like these where I wish I could turn this moment into a film and watch it over and over again.
My phone rang and I groaned.
"Go ahead and answer it. Nothing's saying you can't." Sammy sweetly said.
I nodded and answered my phone.
"Hello?" I said.
"Hey baby girl. I was just calling to make sure you're okay." Matt said.
"I'm okay Matty. I'm with Sammy so I'm defiantly going to be okay if anything were to happen." I replied.
His paranoia gets to him and he feels the need to check up on me, which I'm okay with.
"Okay. Sorry for calling. You're on a date so I could've waited." Matt said.
"Don't apologize Matt. It's perfectly fine if you want to check up on me. I won't complain because I know you care about me." I said.
"Thanks Jade I'll let you get back to your date. I love you baby girl." Matt said.
"I love you too Matty." I said and ended the call.
"That was sweet." Sammy smiled.
"Yeah, it was. Matt sometimes checks up on me  cause he's paranoid that something will happen to me. I feel bad about it since sometimes he can't sleep at night. He's told me before and I've heard him panicking I his sleep a few times. It's quite sad." I said.
"Poor Matt. We should get him something while we're out. Let's go back to the shops." Sammy stood up and held out his hand.
I took his hand in mine and we walked back to the shops. We walked into Hollister and went to the guy section. I picked out a few black shirts and a few white shirts. They had Hollister written on them but Matt isn't very picky when it comes to clothes so I could buy hi anything and he'd like it.
We paid and then went to Nef, where I bought him a grey beanie, a dark blue beanie, and a maroon beanie. Matt is always wearing beanies so I know he'll like these.
After that, we went to some random shop and I bought him a stuffed dog that looks just like Burnie. It was a pretty big stuffed animal. Burnie has to live with Matt's aunt since the house they're renting doesn't accept dogs. Matt really misses him.
"Shall we get going?" I said and Sammy nodded.
We got into the car and I put my bags in the back. Before we drove off, I asked Sammy something.
"Sammy, should I call the people who the boys are renting their house from and see if they can allow Burnie there?" I asked.
"You really should. Matt would probably cry tears of joy." Sammy said.
I searched through my phone for the number and dialed it. Don't ask why I have it cause I'm not sure lol.
"Hello? Drake speaking." The guy answered the phone.
"Hey Drake this is Jade. My friends are renting your house under the name of Nash Grier. You don't allow animals correct?" I asked.
"Yep. I know who those boys are. And correct. Why do you ask?" Drake replied.
"Well, my best friend who lives there named Matt has a big dog who is his best friend and I was wondering if we could allow his dog to live there. He'll make sure that the dog doesn't ruin anything. His dog is really well trained." I said.
"Well, those boys have taken really good care of the house so I think I can make an exception." Drake said.
"Yes! Thank you so so much! We'll make sure they take good care of the house even more." I said and Drake chuckled.
"No problem. Have a nice day. Bye." Drake said.
"You too. Bye" I hung up.
"Let's head to Matt's aunts house. She's only about 10 minutes away." I smiled and Sammy drove off to her house.
We arrived and got out and I knocked on the door. His aunt answered and greeted me with a hug.
"Hello dear! It's been so long!" He said.
"Indeed it has." I smiled.
"I don't think I've met you. Your name is?" Matt's aunt asked Sammy.
"I'm Sammy. Matts friend and Jade's boyfriend." Sammy shook her hand.
"So what brings you here?" She asked as she brought us inside.
"We were wondering if we could bring Burnie back with us so that he can stay with Matt finally. The person they're renting their house from said its okay." I said.
"That would be just fine. I know how much Matt misses him so I'd be more than happy to let you guys take him back." His aunt said.
"Thank you so much. Matt will be so happy." I smiled.
Matt's aunt called for Burnie and he came running out to the living room. I bent down and petted him and he licked my hand. We got his food, toys, and cage and took it all out to the car. Burnie's cage is pretty big so we had to take it apart and put it in the trunk. Next, we put Burnie in the back seat. I thanked Matt's aunt and then we left and made our way back to the house.
