Parents xx

Sam's POV-

We had now left university and I was in Eddie's car on the way to his parents house in London. We were having a great time singing to all of our favourite songs together- including the whole Les Miserables soundtrack! But I could tell that Eddie was upset about leaving Amanda and Aaron behind, we had all became super close friends and did practically everything together and now I guess we have been split apart.

I must of web thinking for a while because I noticed Eddie shaking my arm gently saying "Sammm... Sam? Are you ok?" I had obviously blanked him out...oops!

"Sorry Ed, I was in another world!" I joked and squeezed his hand-

"What were you thinking about?" Eddie asked me... Hmmmmm, should I tell him? I suppose I aught to...

"I can tell that you are upset about leaving Aaron and Amanda behind- I don't want you to feel bad about leaving us, we all understand that you have to leave- and we accept that. I can see you beating yourself up over this and I hate it. So please Ed, please just stop." I noticed that by the end of my little speech I had tears welling up in my eyes and my throat had a huge lump in it 'DON'T CRY' was constantly repeating in my head, and I managed to keep the tears away, Eddie had been quiet for sometime now, I looked I've to him and saw him obviously contemplating and trying to comprehend everything I just said- trying to change the subject I asked "How long left?" But he still didn't reply to that!

"Eddie- is everything alright?" I asked him nervously, 'Had I said something wrong?'

"I'm sorry." He murmured in a tone barely audible, then he repeated it

"I'm sorry." this time stronger and more meaningfully,

"Listen Sam, can we just forget this whole business of me going to America? Please, I just want to spend these 2 weeks with you peacefully and not always thinking about the sadness to come." I understood what he was saying and nodded my head slowly in agreement, I was a little shocked at his tone when he said that- he sounded almost angry

"That's a great idea" I told him gently, and looked out my window...I could see he was thinking, and I think it's best if I leave him be for a while.

30 minutes later

We pull into a service station and as I go to unclip my seatbelt Eddie leaned over and pulled me into a passionate kiss, I knew he felt bad for getting angry "Eddie, it's fine- you had every right to get angry" I said interrupting the kiss "No I didn't, you were just telling me your concern- I'm just tired Sam, I'm sorry" he leant over again and kissed me softly "I love you" he whispered

"I love you too" I replied, and we both got out of the car- then walked hand-in-hand to the Starbucks to order a coffee each, only 30 minutes left if the journey.

Back in the car-

Eddie POV-

After our little break we both got back into the car and I let Sam pick the music, We only have 30 minutes left till we get to my parents house- I can't wait for Sam to meet them, I know that they will adore her!

'C'mon babe why don't we paint the town? And all that jazz' Started blaring through the speakers, Sam looked and me and I couldn't help laughing- she was pulling a seductive look on her face as she sang along with Catherine- Zeta- Jones- oh I have to join in on this one

'OHHHH YOUR GONNA SEE HER SHIBA SHIMMY SHAKE, AND ALL THAT JAZZ- OHHHH SHE'S GONNA SHIMMY TILL HER GARTERS BREAK- AND ALL THAT JAZZ' I practically screamed, rolling all of the car windows down and receiving some very weird looks from fellow drivers, but Sam was in hysterics! Next was Cell Block Tango- "We haven't choreographed a dance for this one yet Ed!" She said to me turning it off- "Please can we do it and your parents house? please pleaseeee?" Sam begged me, and I of course gave in- "Sooo, have you made a routine then Sam?" I asked her curiously....

"Maybeeeee...." She said drawling the 'e'

" I mean, I haven't had a full dance routine for it since the age of 10 or anything.........." She giggled- ahahaha oh I do love her!!

Sam POV-

We turned down a long winding road and I realised we were near the house... "Okay, don't be put off by the outside- its what's inside that counts ok?" He told me as we drove up next to some electric gates, Eddie wound down his window and spoke into an intercom "Hey, it's Eddie and Sam" then immediately the gates swung open and Eddie strayed to drive down a driveway and then I caught a glimpse of the house. Oh. My. Sprouts. It was HUGE! I'm sure my mouth swung right open and dropped because Eddie giggled and gently lifted my mouth back into its normal position- " Oh c'mon Sam, what's the matter?" He said slightly worriedly "Is it ok?" He asked with growing worry on his face- "It's beautiful!" I exclaimed, the nearer to the house you got, the more you noticed it's beauty. It had ivy growing up the walls and a fountain outside of it, to the left were riding stables and to the right were some tennis courts. As we parked up Eddie turned to me and said- "Just be yourself, they will love you honest!" I was beginning to get nervous- 'Would they like me?' The fact that the house was so huge made me feel as if they wouldn't like me because I'm not posh. But if they are anything like Ed, I shouldn't worry! We both got out of the car and Eddie carried our suitcase, we walked hand in hand up to the for and Eddie rang the doorbell- just before it opened he turned and smiled at me reassuringly...
