Chapter 12

1 month later

I was busy flipping channels on the television. I succesfully moved on.. or so I think. I haven't talked to Greyson since that night. A very bad memory, I guess. I heard he's dating Sam again. Good for him. But I can't stop feeling a little bit... hurt? Nah.. can't be. I moved on... right?

"You sure your not coming to visit Grandma?" Mom asked. They're going to Grandma's today since it's cleaning day. I don't wanna recall past memories. Cause She and Nathan were very close. Grandma still refuse to accept that he's gone so she keeps mentioning him over and over whenever I'm there.

"No. Don't worry about me, I can take care of myself." I mumbled.

"Maybe I'll call Greyson so that he'll keep you company." Mom added.

"I said I'm fine, Mom!" I froze as I realized that I just shouted at my Mom.  "No need to call him." I sighed. 

"Suit yourself." Mom kissed my cheek then slung  her bag on her shoulder. "We'll be back next week, food's on the fridge." Then she went outside to be with Dad.

I didn't bother to watch them as they go. I just continued flipping channels on the television since that's the best way to kill boredom.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Greyson are you listening to me?" 

"Huh what?" I snapped back in reality as I watched her took a sip on her ice coffee. This is really not my day. Sam raised one of her eyebrow then let out a huge sigh. 

"It doesn't hurt to pay attention, Greyson." Sam said.

"Um... sorry." I mumbled. Sam just giggled softly then laced her hand on mine. I managed a weak smile as I look at her.

I'm on a date with Sam. But I'm thinking about Andy like crazy. How is she? Is she  okay? Is she dating someone? No can't be... Oh shit I'm at it again. Can't stop thinking about her. The hell is wrong with me?!

I suddenly slam head on the table... What the hell did I do? I looked around me and saw people looking at me like I was crazy. 

"I think it's time to go home." Sam whispered as she dragged me outside Starbucks. I let out a heavy sigh as I shook my head. Seriously, What's wrong with me?

When Starbucks was nowhere in sight, Sam stopped on her tracks. She looked at me with pity in her eyes slash hurt slash guilt.

"This isn't working." Sam said in a low tone.

"I'm sorry."

"No.. No... None of this is your fault. Let's just go back to our original lives." Sam tried to smile but it slowly faded as she looked at me. "I know everything, alright. You don't have to pretend."

"Pretend what?"

"About you and Andy. The things you're showing to me.... they're all an act." She said as she folded her arms. 

"H-How did you--?"

"Oh please... We've been together before. I know you, Greyson."

"Right." I muttered as I scratch the back of my neck.

"Greyson you're the most charming and kind guy I've ever met." Sam said as she held my hand. "But your not yourself anymore. What happened?" 

"I-I don't know." I said avoiding her gaze. "I just don't know."  It's her that's what. I can't stop thinking about her.

Sam searched my eyes for answers but then she suddenly looked down signalling defeat. "I think I'll just go home. See you around Greyson." Sam smiled then walked away.

"Be careful." I mumbled. 

Sam dumped me but it doesn't hurt. Just thinking about Andy hurts. Because I know she'll never treat me as a friend anymore.

----------------------------------------------------------------

As I walk away from Greyson, I was suddenly pulled in a corner. I was about to scream but a sly smile form on the most cutest guy on earth.

"Gotcha." He whispered on my ear as he pulled me close.

"Don't scare me like that, Cody." I giggled. 

He was about to kiss me but then I pushed him away. "What are you doing here, anyway?" 

"I miss you." He smiled. I can't help but feel a little tempted on those lips. "I don't wanna do this cool-off anymore." 

"Me too." I giggled then planted a small kiss on those lips. "You dated anyone?" 

"Hmmm... two. But they're not exactly my type." He chuckled. " How about you?"

"Just Greyson."

Cody's smile disappeared then he looked down. "I knew it."

I sighed then cupped my hands on his face. "It was just an experiment, Cody. Besides, I couldn't do without you." 

"I love you, Sam." He smiled.

"I love you too." 

He was about to press his lips against mine but then I pushed him away. "What is it now?" He asked.

"Something's wrong with Greyson and I got a feeling Andy's in it." 

"Let's just leave them and focus ourselves in catching up." 

"No.. They're friends, Cody." 

"So what's on your mind." He looked at me like he was figuring me out.

"You wait at my house... I think I'm going on a little detour." 

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Slice half a butter then throw it on the batter. 

"Half a butter... Throw it.." I mumbled as I literally throw it on the batter. I got nothing to do... might as well practice my baking skills.

I was gonna do the next step when I was interrupted by the sudden ring of the doorbell. Who is it this time?

"Coming!" I shouted as I washed my hand. I hurriedly went to the door and opened it. 

"Hey."

It's Sam... What's she doing here? "Uh-Hey? What brings you here?"

"I'm here for a sudden visit." Sam smiled.

I awkwardly opened the door and closed it the moment she entered. She flopped on the couch and let out a heavy sigh. 

"It's been so long. When was the last time I'm here?" She giggled. 

I cleared my throat making her giggles fade slowly. The last time she was here was to celebrate my birthday with Nathan, Greyson and Sam as my guests.

"Umm...nevermind that.. Let's just... move along." Sam bit her lip then looked around. "We've been friends for so many years but the air around us is very tense."

"Y-Yeah." was all I managed to say. "So...What brings you here...really?" 

"Just one question and one answer." She said in a calmed tone.

"And what is that?" 

"Do you love Greyson?"

Oh shit.
