Imaginary Boyfriend

Chapter 12: Lies

            I was sat on the couch, flicking through channels on TV. Nothing seemed interesting. Sam had left to meet someone so I was left all by myself. He still wouldn't tell me who it was. It didn't take a genius to figure out it was a girl - and that he was dating. Not that that was a problem or anything, I was just curious as to who it was.

            Suddenly, an idea struck me. Why did I go see Sarah? She was only an apartment away and we were just as close as Sam and me! Well, almost.

            I snatched the apartment keys from the table and headed out of the apartment. I was at Sarah's door in no time and I knocked. It took a few minutes for her to answer.

            "Hey," she breathed, opening the door a crack. I caught a glimpse of what she was wearing and gaped. 

            Her hair was slightly ruffled and she was dressed in only a shirt and underwear. Glancing at her tanned legs, I knew that if I was a lesbian I'd totally go for her. Her lipstick was smeared. It wasn't hard to guess what she was doing.

            "Sorry," I apologised hastily. "Do you have a guy around here?"

            "Yeah," she said uncomfortably. I wasn't sure why; I'd walked on this situation before. Sarah wasn't a slut, but she certainly didn't like sleeping alone. Not that they did much sleeping. But she'd always been okay, probably even a little smug, about me walking in on her.

            "Um, you okay?" I asked, worried.

            "Could you come back later?" she said, biting her lip and already inching the door closed. I stuck my foot in, narrowing my eyes.

            "What's up with you? You're never so... worried."

            "Katrina, I-"

            "Hey, Saz, what's taking so long?"

            I froze. I would've known that voice anywhere. Even if it was low and husky, instead of immature and gleeful, I could recognise it. Guilt shined in Sarah's face. Only Sam called Sarah 'Saz.'

            I was rooted to the spot when Sam's face appeared at the door. His eyes met mine and the were filled with surprise.

            "Kat..? What are you doing here?"

            "Nothing," I said, feeling numb. 

            "Um..." said Sam awkwardly, scratching the back of his head.

            "So this is your new girlfriend?"

            "Yeah..."

            "Okay," was all I said. I backed away and speedily walked away, trying not to break into a run. My face felt warm and my eyes felt wet. Why did I care? She wouldn't dump him... she wouldn't hurt him, right?

            "Kat!" I heard him call after me. I didn't stop, nor did I turn. I reached the apartment and fiddled clumsily with the key, trying to unlock it before he reached me. He was too quick though.

            "Kat," he said, his hand catching my wrist. I whirled around and stared blankly at him. "What's wrong?"

            "You," I spat. "You could've told me! But no, you decide to lie to me. I thought we were friends! Best friends!"

            Sam looked as hurt as I was feeling.

            "I didn't want to tell you before it got serious."

            "You're dating?" I asked in disbelief. I thought they'd just been fooling around!

            "Yes."

            "You lied to me." 

            "I didn't lie! I just... didn't tell you the truth," he said desperately. I leaned against the door, clenching my fists.

            "I count that as lying. Don't talk to me." My voice was dull and emotionless. I imagined my face was like that too.

            "Kat-" Sam tried.

            I cut him off with, "Don't."

            And then I opened the door and walked straight to my room. I slammed my door behind me and fell on the bed. I didn't bother changing.

            I was asleep within minutes.

Okay. This is late. Seriously late.

SORRY!

I was just wondering if you might like a chapter in Sam's POV? If you do << VOTE! VOTE! VOTE!

As you can tell, I've had serious writers block. This chapter was probably horrible. :L Anyways... I had to post something because I don't like giving up on stories! Btw you've met Sarah before but briefly. Wonder if you remember?

Love you guys

<3
