It Was Oh So Simple

Chapter 4

I walked out of the classroom as soon as the bell went, people has been staring at me the whole fucking time. I could hear Liam behind me. I stuck my headphones into my ears, Led Zeppelin. Keep calm Sam, breath in, out, in, out . Anxiety was filling me, I needed to get away, be by myself.

I was out of school now, I saw the car but turned to the bus stop, the 632 just aproaching, I walked across the road, reaching in my pockets for my bus pass as I went. I was the first to get out of school, no one was gonna get on the bus with me, brilliant. I got on the bus, it was practically empty, a couple at the back, just what I needed. I tried to breath at a normal pace but it was hard, people had been looking at me, they still remembered, that I was a fuck up, a retard. People were probably talking about me now, bursts of anxiety flooding through me. Keep it together, just a couple more stops, breath I wanted to scream. I turned, the couple were staring at me, only then did I realise the visious tapping I was making with my foot, really. Calm down . I mouthed an apolagy to them and looked outside, the window was full of dirt. I was panicing, I couldnt even remember what about, my mind was racing like bats flying around in the dark, going nowhere. I was a stop away from my usual, I needed to escape, to walk, run, I don't know, but I needed to get out. I pressed the stop button just in time and bolted.

As I walked, I began to breath, unsteady at times. I checked my phone, three missed calls from Liam, I was just about to call him when he rung me again.

" Can I hear cars?" He asked, paniced

" Calm down Liam, I'm just walking back to the flat."

" I'll be with you in about twenty minutes, just..."

" No, you have a band practice, I'll be fine, I've got Ed to keep me company and then I'll see you later."

He muttered something under his breath then. "Sorry?" I asked.

" Oh nothing, don't worry, I geuss I'll see you around sixish." He said, a poor performance from him

" Ok then, bye" I said, hanging up before he could say anything else.

I walked into the flat, keys already in hand. The flats warmth flooded through me as the smell of the scented candles I had bought a couple of days ago and Ed's guitar was playing sweet acoustic music.

" Hello?" he shouted

" Just me!" I shouted back as I took my shoes off and walked into the living room. The place was... clean, really clean.

" You ok Ed?" The guitar stopped

" Yeah, why"

I pointed at the room

" Don't look to much into it."

" Ok" I said, raising my eyebrows and sitting down, he joined me moments later. We stuck the telly on to some American sitcom I didn't care the name of and didn't talk for a while. About forty five minutes later, he stood up.

" RIght, time to put the curry on." I turned around to him with a puzzled expression which he seemed to think was funny because he started laughing.

" As I said before, don't look to much into it, I just think we should share our responsabilities and shit." My face stayed in the same expression.

" What do you want?" I asked. He shook his head

" Nothing Sam" he said, his blue eyes staring right into mine, we stayed there for a while, he was trying to tell me something and I tried to ignore it, Ed was probably my best friend, I loved him but I geuss in a harsh way, I loved Liam more... I think. Lex's voice was running round my head and I tried to shake it off best I could, but it was hard, it scared me, I needed to calm down.

" Is that beer?" I asked, pointing at the contents inside a plastic bag.

" Yup."

" Good," I said as I walked to the bag to take a can.

" Fuck dinner, lets get pissed"

" Thats the Ed I know" I said and threw him a beer.

Liams POV

All I could think about was Sam, which was applicable most of the time but I was worrying about her. It wasn't a big deal, she just needed to be alone, thats what I wanted to think anyway. Maybe I should have run after her or go back to the flat, she hated that though, I was beginning to think she hated me. Things had changed over the last couple of weeks I don't know what, but something had.

" Liam, Liam, wakey wakey, shit head?" Someone through something in my head, it was Zayn.

" What?" I asked

" Oh hello, welcome to planet earth."

" Fuck off mate"

" Bit harsh, you ok?"

" Fine"

" Ah do you want to talk to the girls about it"

" Seriously, not in the mood"

" Leave him alone Zayn, hes just upset cos apparently Sam went a bit crazy" Said Louis

" Oh is that why she's not here." said Zayn

" Where the fuck did you hear that?" I asked, anger filling up

" Its all over school mate." Said Niall

" She didn't do anything." I said,a weak defence

" She called Taylor a self centred bitch and spat at her and then threw a chair at the wall." Said Harry, smiling.

" Nice one" Said Niall, laughing

" She's not well Niall, Taylor was throwing horrible notes at her and her and her mates kept on laughing, she just paniced thats all."

" Well good for her, Taylors a fucking whore"

" Lovely language there Harry, I'm gonna go."

Sams POV

It was pretty obvious that I was completely pissed now, which sorta brought back old memories, me and Ed used to do it all the time when we were a lot younger... A lot younger. It kinda stopped once me and Liam became a thing, not really sure if that's a good thing or not, even now.

We were singing now, Ed jumping on the sofa whilst I was playing guitar, very badly.

"Sam, why don't people find me attractive?" He asked, a drunken sigh

"Cos you're ginger" I said, we both began to laugh again, the world shifting as we moved.

" But really, I'm a musician, I have a flat, I'm independent." I began to laugh

"No you're not"

" I'm fucked up as well, in the movies they're always the people who get the pussayyyy" I hit him over the head with his guitar, harder then I intended.

" Shit! Oww!" He said, as he rubbed his head like a chimp.

"As an independent woman, I will not stand for that" I said, standing up and instantly falling back down to the sofa.

"Don't talk shit you on your period?" I hit him over the head with his guitar again. He winked

"No I am not you pervert!" He winked again.

"Or is it Liam, boring you to death" I stopped laughing

" Ooh what's the relationship goss"

" Nothing you nosy bitch!"

"Bitch? really" I hit him with the guitar again, this time causing a noticeable hole in the bottom.

"Right, you're getting it now!" he jumped on top of me and began to tickle me. I yelled out shrieks and tried to hit him hard, but failing to make any noticeable impact.

He stopped tickling me and the room went silent, I stared into his light blue eyes and he did the same with mine.

He stroked my cheek and-

There was a knock at the door, Liam.

Ed leaned off me as I stumbled over to the corridor to get the door but my intoxicated mind kept on thinking about what would of happened if Liam didn't just knock on that door.
