Do You Love Me Or Not? (Samgladiator X Taurtis)

Chapter Seventeen

Sam's P.O.V.

When I woke up, I could feel extreme amounts of pain shooting through several parts of my body. Mainly the places I had been shot and the entirety of my right arm. I took a small glance of my arm found multiple deep cuts that had been made. Better hide these... I thought as I got up to get ready for school. I looked at my nightstand and found a small slip of paper. This is what it said.

You better find her or I'll see to it that you never have another good day...

~Yakuza

I sighed as I placed the note back onto my nightstand and got up to get ready for school. Gord, it seems like it's been forever since we've had school.. I thought as I let out a yawn and fixed my tie. When I walked out of my room to go to the bathroom to fix my hair and brush my teeth, I stopped when I reached Grian's room and heard small snores coming from within. A wave of guilt ran through my brain. It brought tears back to my eyes remembering last night's conversation. I had to restrain myself from grabbing the knife and making more cuts.

I bring up my fist and knock lightly on the door. "G- Grian?" I softly called into the door. No response. I knocked again, this time a bit louder. "Please, just go away..." I heard a soft, British voice say. He sounded like he had been crying, but I kind of expected that. I grabbed the door knob and hesitantly opened the door. "Sam, please, just go away.." He begged. I ignored him and walked closer. "Please.." He whispered. I ignore that, too, and when I finally reach him wrap him into a hug. He just pushes me away. "Sam, look, I'm not in the mood for you to feel sorry for me. So if you please, leave me be." He said coldly. "Grian, look, I truly am sorry, and I know that won't fix what I've done to you. But please, get up.." I beg him. He just shakes his head. "Why should I?" He asks. "Because we have school, but mainly because I don't want you just staying in here forever.." I tell him. He just scoffs and lets out a "fine" under his breath. I give him a small smile as I exit his room to let him get ready.

When he walks out of the room, he avoids looking my way and walks out the door without saying a word. When I finally exit my house, I catch Taurtis talking to Grian, but I can't make out what he's saying to him. What I can see from it, thought, is that Taurtis is smirking like a crazy person while Grian looks hurt. This causes me to worry a bit, but I choose not to show it because I don't want Taurtis worrying about me.

"Hey Sam!" Taurtis greets warmly. I smile at him and blush a tad bit. "Hi.." I sad under my breath, but loud enough for him to hear. "So, uh, about yesterday..." He starts. "Yeah?" "H- How do you feel about that? I mean, if you hate me now then I completely understand, but-" I cut Taurtis' rambling off by kissing him on the lips. He immediately kisses me back. When we pull apart I smile warmly at him. "Is you're question answered?" I ask him. He smiles and nods his head. "Well, lets head to school now, shall we?"

While walking towards the school, we stop by J's house so he could walk with us. I kind of stayed behind a bit, though, lost in my thoughts. I couldn't stop thinking about Grian. How hurt he had been last night and how coldly he had acted towards me this morning. I'll admit it, I kinda do deserve it to have Grian act this way towards me after what he had witnessed. I felt like the worst friend ever. After everything he had done for me back when we were kids.... I just couldn't help but fell like a little bitch. 

When we reached the school, I realized that everyone had already headed up the stairs and that I was being dragged by Taurtis up to our class. I blinked a few times before pulling my hand away from Taurtis' and started running to class on my own right beside them. If I hadn't gotten out of my daze any later than I had, we would've been late for class. Luckily, we seemed to make it just as the bell rang. I sat where I normally do, and Okami then started taking role. I didn't pay attention, though. I just stared into the window, admiring the scene that was given. "Sam?" Okami called out. I raised my hand, not saying a word, and continued to stare outside of the window, getting lost into my thoughts again.  I ended up remembering something back from while I lived in America.
