Her commitment

Chapter 8

I can't believe it. Samantha was crying.

At least she opened up to me though. But I shouldn't have forced her.
"Samantha?," I said once her cries went down.
"Yeah?," She asked in a voice that didn't even sound like it belonged to her.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry I forced you to tell me," I said. She smiled weakly.
"You were somehow going to find out anyway," She shrugged.
"I think I should walk you back to work," I said. Samantha's eyes widened as she unlocked her phone for the time.
"Crap! I should've been at work twenty minutes ago. I'll see you, Shawn. Thanks," She said and gave me a quick hug before running off. Wow.

Samantha actually hugged me.
Samantha's POV
wow. I actually hugged Shawn.

What is wrong with me? I shook that though out of my head as I pushed open the door to the music store I work at.

I mean...why did I even tell him about my past? I've only known him for four days!

Oh well, I thought as I came face to face with my boss. She was a nice elderly woman.

Kinda of like my second mother.
"Sam...You're twenty minutes late," Mrs. Gram stated.
"I know. I was hanging out with Cassie and lost track of time. I'm sorry...it won't happen again," I answered. She stared and me warily before nodding.

I smiled to myself as I walked over to help a customer out.
*************************************
When I got home that evening the apartment was completely empty. Weird.

I threw my back down on the couch and turned on the TV. I spun around once I heard footsteps coming from behind me.

I turned around to find Shawn.
"Did I get you fired?," He answered. I shook my head.

He sighed in relief.
"I just wanted to let you that...I'm thinking about getting a job." My ears perked up at the new found information.
"That's great! But where?," I asked. He rubbed the back of his neck with his hand and looked up to face me.
"Would you mind if I started working at the music shop?"
