Butterfly Effect

Sammy

Around 15 minutes later I arrived at Sam's place, I knocked on the door and seconds later it opened. "Josh!" Sam exclaimed, but she soon realized that it wasn't him but me. I could see her eyes were red and her eyes were puffy so she must have been crying recently. "He came here to?" I asked shocked, she slowly nodded her head. 

"What are you doing here at 2:30 Am? And what do you mean here to?" She asked trying to look down the halls most likely for Josh. I gestured if I could come in, she quickly snapped back into reality and let me in. "Josh came to my place yesterday asking for you. And I was just at my therapist and he raised a very good question, Sam whose baby is that?" She broke down crying putting her hand on her very tiny baby bump. She was three months pregnant and only found last month. "Chris." She sobbed, thoughts quickly filled my mind, shit it wasn't my baby was it? Wait no we've never had sex. Or have we I don't know I get pretty drunk. I grabbed her other hand and looked at her. "It's Josh's."

Wait no it didn't make sense, she would have told me if they did it. But then again it made perfect sense, three months ago Josh was alive and they were very close during the trip and she was the first one to be invited up to the mountain. "What? When did it happen, how, where?" I only asked the last question because I needed to know where to never ago or sit again. She sat on the couch and wiped away a few tears. "It happened a week before the trip at his house." I then quickly joined her on the couch knowing that it was safe. "I don't know we had been drinking and he said he felt something for me because I was so nice and understanding towards him and it just happened." I put an arm around her and she sobbed into my shoulder. "So how'd he find out?" I asked. She sat up and looked at me.

"You didn't tell him?" She whimpered, I shook my head and I know he didn't go to Jess or Mike's place as they would have texted me or called me about it.

"No, I just said that you were doing okay and then he left, what'd he say to you?" I asked, this was getting weirder and weirder by the second. "He said that he wanted to make things right and get everyone together." I looked down and whispered.

"Well that's not happening." Emily had killed herself three months ago, she tried and tried to get better but she just couldn't. After Matt left her and her parents basically disowned her she took up drinking and drugs till one day she shot herself. After the police closed the investigation they asked me if I wanted to keep the note to remember her since I was the closest with her.

"Yeah how's Matt doing?" Sam asked with a tear falling down her face. I curled my fingers at the sound of his name.

"I'm sure he's found a way to keep busy." She nodded her head her and then asked

. "How's Ash? You guys would go everywhere together and then you just stopped." I was so close to exploding but I couldn't do that to Sam.

"Don't...Just....No." I managed to get out but she kept insisting.

"What Happened? Everyone wanted you to go out and then you did for like two weeks and then I've never seen you've talk to her or try to contact her." I took a few deep breathes before explaining.

"Ashely wanted to see other people, when we were still dating." Sam looked at me horrified.

"W-what? How could she do that to you? With who?" I teared up a little but swallowed it down.

"Matthew. Apparently she could relate to him more and he just got her" I said, Sam wrapped me into a hug and I let a few tears go, I couldn't see how she could do that to me.

"I've got work tomorrow, I've got to go." I quickly got up and ran out of her apartment. When I knew she was gone, I slid down the wall and broke down crying.
