"And suddenly her sad tired eyes sparked, a fire in her grew, a fire that threatens to burn whoever hurts her.. And like a Phoenix she rose from the ashes, she rose above it all."

I walk all the way with Adam and he is completely silent. It isn't that uncomfortable silence, it is the blessed one. I don't know what happened in the lake, but he was completely different.. I believe that he has two sides, a bright one and a dark one; and to be honest, the dark one is obviously controlling all his actions.

I wish I can always make him be that opened with me. Somehow, he makes me trust him even though I shouldn't. He finally breaks the silence and I lift up my head to look at him. I didn't catch what he said.

"This is my house." He says again and I look at him in shock. He lives in the one next to mine!! This is really crazy because I never saw him here.

"Really?" I ask him and he nods.

"Well, it was nice seeing you at the lake.. I guess I'll see you more since you technically live next to me." I say and he smiles.

"Take care of yourself." He says it as a command and I smile at the thought. Why does he care so much?

"You too." I tell him and we go our separate ways.

I open the door and Ray welcomes me with a smirk. I know that look!

"What is it?" I ask her as I narrow my eyes.

"I saw that, Amelia." She says with a dramatic sigh and I know exactly what she means. She's definitely crazy if she thinks I might like him.

"You are crazy." I tell her and she laughs evilly. For God's sake! I can't even get Sam out of my mind..

I walk past her to my room and lock the door. I fall on the soft mattress and when I'm about to drift to my sweet slumber, I hear a knock on the door. You've gotta be kidding me!

I walk like a psycho to unlock the door and when I open it, I regret bothering myself to even stand up. It is Sam, holding a bouquet of flowers and a smile plastered on his face. Really?

"What are you doing here?" I ask him, trying to control my anger and he sighs. What caught my attention is the paper with forgive me on it.

Nuh-uh buddy. Not gonna happen.

I study him for a few minutes and I open the door wide to let him in. Although I'm so angry at him right now, but we really need to talk.

"What?" I ask him again as we sit at my desk.

"I came here to tell you I'm sorry." He says calmly and I can't help the hurt in my heart as he said it so casually.

At least he should try and make it convincing.

"I'm sorry that I ruined what we had between us. I was so dumb. But.." He stops and looks at me until our eyes come to a halt on one another.

"I found another girl." I don't know how to react to this confession. I want to yell at him, to make him feel the pain I'm feeling. He fucking found another girl in a matter of days. So, he didn't even love me, did he? Oh God.. He played me!!
