Samantha

~1 Week Later~

I head out of the bedroom after getting ready for my day and go into the loungeroom downstairs.

I switch the TV on to YouTube and search 'Twaimz' since he always cheers me up when I need it the most.

after watching a couple of videos of Twaimz's Jakob comes in.

"Can I please join?" He asks softly.

"Yeah, Sure" I give him a slight smile. "You like Twaimz too?" He asks shocked. "Yeah, I love Twaimz" I say.

"I thought you were the kind of girl to like makeup videos and all that girly stuff.." I glare at him.

"Sorry" he squeaks.

"Its alright" I say turning my attention back to the tv.

I put on a few more Twaimz videos, us both laughing hysterically at how stupid Twaimz can be sometimes.

'He'll find out soon enough..'

My happy feeling drops. I start frowning. Jakob seems to notice my expression and says "Hey are you okay, is everything alright?" Concerned.

I wanted to say "No" but I can't let him know.

"Yeah, yeah I am fine" I fake smile, but he seems to see right through my lie.

"No you're not, tell me whats wrong" he says switching the tv off.

"I said, I am fine" I grumble.

"I am not gonna let this go, Samantha. Now tell me what's wrong" He says sternly..

"Fine, I am not okay. Are you happy now?!" I ask storming off up to the bathroom, locking the door behind me.

I look around for something sharp and soon find a blade from a broken razor.

I look at my wrists, tears forming in my eyes. I haven't done this for months.

I put the sharp piece of metal up to my wrists slicing up my arm one by one, doing the same thing to the other arm.

I put the blade in my pocket and slowly turn the tap on rinsing my cuts, I wince as the cool water hits the cut then turn the tap off, carefully dabbing the cloth on it and washing it after.

After that I throw my jumper on and head out of the bathroom.

"Samantha!" Tessa spots me running up to me and engulfing me in a hug.

"Hey Tess" I say pulling away from the hug.

"Where were you? I was looking everywhere" She says. "Oh really? I was just um busy with some stuff" I give her a fake smile.

"Oh. Okay. Jakob said you ran off after he asked what was wrong." She says worriedly.

"Tess, I am fine" I reassure her. "Look, I am gonna go outside for a bit, you stay here and do something with Chris or Ethan.", I say. She frowns nodding.

I open the back door and sit outside on the small stairs. I feel someones presence as I flinch.

"Its just me" Chris chuckles sitting down next to me.

"What brings you here?", I ask moving over a little bit for space. "Just wanted to hang during my spare time, since I was bored af at home" He says with a slight smile.

"Hm. What about Ethan?" I ask.

"When I came in he was with Tessa" Chris shrugs.

"Cool. Cool" I say looking up at the sky. "You seem a bit.. out today. Are you okay?" He asks noticing my silence.

"Yeah, just tired I guess. It has been a rough two weeks for Tess and I" I half lie. The rough weeks are true, but everything else was a lie.

"Okay. I guess it has been, eh?" He says nudging my shoulder. I chuckle brushing my hair out of my face.

"I really do like you, Sam. You're not like other girls I meet" I look at Chris. "What do you mean?" I ask as if I don't know what he is on about.

"You're not picky with what you're given, you look out for your family- everything you do is something I look for in a girl." He says, his chocolate brown eyes connecting with my hazel/green ones.

He leaned in, before he could connect his lips with mine- "Leo's homeeeeee!" Ethan shouts from inside the house.

"We should probably head inside", I say awkwardly. "You're right" Chris hops up and extends his hand out for me to take, I take it and he pulls me up. We go inside and join everyone in the loungeroom.

"So what were you two up to?" Ethan asks smirking at Chris & I. I blush and hide my face with my hands.

"Its so cute when you do that" I snap my head towards Jakob.

"Did I say that aloud?" He asks blushing slightly.

We all nod. "I didn't mean it as in that way" he says instantly. "Yeah, we get the point Jakob" Chris says, a look of annoyance clear on his face.

"Chris, he was just saying" Ethan scolds.

"Sorry" Chris mumbles. "Can we talk?" I ask Chris. "Yeah" He says. We go into the bedroom and I close the door.

"What's wrong?" I ask folding my arms. "Nothing" He says emotionless. "Chris I know there is something up, please tell me what is bothering you.", I say trying to make eye contact.

"You clearly like Jakob" He mumbles looking at his feet. "I never said I liked anyone" I say offended.

"I can see the way you look at each other" He says. "Look, he is just a friend, he will never be anything more. Please stop worrying so much Chris." I say walking closer to his and lifting his chin up.

"I am sorry, Its just anyone would be lucky to have you, to call you theirs, to protect you, love, and care for you" He says nervously.

I embrace him into a hug.

"Do you really mean all that?" I ask. "Of course I do, I really like you, Sam" He says as we pull away from our hug.

He leans in and so do I, and soon our lips connect, I felt sparks going everywhere. Like a million fireworks.

And at that exact moment. I knew I really liked Chris.

We pull away and he looks into my eyes and grabs my hands.

"Samantha Ashleigh Cullen, will you do me the honour of making me that happiest guy alive and become my girlfriend?"
