How We Met

Chapter 1. Best friends

This is my first book! I hope you enjoy!❤️

~Samantha's P.OV.~

Every second I make eye contact with my father I can see the pain in his eyes, it has been a year since my mom left us. She just let us go like we never existed, my father won't tell me why she left. But I guess it's better I don't know. I sit down on the couch and I hear my phone make a slight ding noise. I quickly grab it and see a text message from my best friend since the second grade Julian.

Julian's Text: Hey, how are you feeling?

I quickly respond: I'm okay you?

I set my phone down on the coffee table and walk into our decent sized kitchen. I open the fridge and find my beer bottles in the fridge I sigh and grab a water bottle and sit back down to see a text from Julian.

Julian: I am pretty good, just tired from the soccer game last night."

I remember him always telling me that I should always go to one of his games and that he will maybe score the winning goal for me. I giggle at myself and look up to notice my dad staring at me, with a wide nervous look on his face. We both look at each other for a minute and he breaks the silence.

"Umm.....how are you?" He asks in a cautious voice

A little smile grows on my face and I reply "I'm good, just texting Julian. I have to go get ready for school soon."

He looks at me and starts to laugh.

"What's so funny?" I ask

He says quickly "School is not until tomorrow princess."

I giggle a little and stand up to give him a hug. With my face to his chest I say "So what?" He puts his chin on my head and says. "You should go have fun with your friends before school starts." He lets go and looks at me. Before I can respond he says "Before you go I get to make you breakfast." I look at him with confusion and stutter " B-b-b but I make breakfast." He laughs at what I say and he pulls out a pan to make an omelet in. He makes way better omelets than I do so I don't bother to stop him. "I am going to go get ready then." I say. He looks at me and nods. I run up the stairs into my room.

I look at myself in the mirror and realize I really need a shower, so I hop in the shower and sing a little. My dad always told me I should sing more, he really likes my voice. When I was little me and my mom would have like a singing war. I immediately stop singing Hey Soul Sister when that me memory came to mind.
I finish off with washing my body hop out and wrap a towel around me. I open the door to the bathroom in my room. I walk straight to my draws and pick out some clothing. I end up finding a gray v-neck, skinny jeans and I put my hair up in a messy bun. I grab my converse from my room and walk downstairs to find Emily sitting at the table. Emily is my best friend since fourth grade she is really the only girl friend I have. I run up to her and give her a hug. I haven't seen her in 3 months. She hugs back and I say. "I have missed you so much!" She hugs me even tighter and I barley can say "I can't breath." She laughs and let's go.

"I have missed you so much!" She smiles and says. "It has felt like ages sense the last time I saw you!" "I know!" I exclaim in a happy voice. "I will be right back." I tell her she smiles and nods. I walk towards my dad and give him a big hug "We will be in my room." I say, he quickly nods.
I walk back towards Emily and grab her hand and lead her toward my room. We push open the door to my room and plop on the bed.
