I Love You?

Chapter 16

*SAMMY'S POV*

I had blocked Edwin, but I didn't delete his number. I couldn't. I called Zachary to come over.

"So what happened bro?" I explained to him, then explained my reasonings. "I'm dating her because I hate grief. It makes me seem weak. So I tried to ignore him but I can't. It's impossible when you love someone. What should I do Zach?"

He took a big breath. "You love him right?" "Of course." "Then, you should talk it out with him. He's your...best friend. I've seen you guys grow up together. Not surprised you turned out gay."

He mumbled the last part. I rolled my eyes and corrected him, "Bisexual." "Same difference." I made a face. "Triggered." He laughed and said, "Anyways, go meet up with him some place."

I nodded. "Thanks bro." I got on my phone and texted Edwin.

"Hey...meet me @ the park tmrw after school, aroud 5ish. the one near ur house."

I went downstairs and sat on the couch so I could watch Netflix. I realized how much I didn't hang out with Daniel and Carmen.

I called up Carmen. "Heyyyy it's the bisexual." I smacked my teeth. "Well that's a happy hello." "We haven't talked that much." "Yeah...I've been having problems." "Oh?"

I explained, once again.

"Oh no. Well I hope you guys make up. You guys are the OTP." I laughed. "You and your anime references." "That's my hobby silly. So, what you doing?" "Chilling. You?" "Painting. I'll call you back. I almost dropped my phone in the paint." "Ok. Bye."

Edwin had responded when I hung up. "Ok." I was surprised he said so little, but he had been crying a lot. Charlotte had texted me as well.

"Hey babe <3." It felt weird when she called me that. "Hey:)" "wyd?" "Chilling. Hbu?" "Thinking about u. wyd tmrw? I wanna hang @ the park." "Cant. Busy."

I was glad that I was busy. Charlotte is kinda awkward, since I don't even like her and we kiss all the time. I felt dirty.

She texted back. "Oh? Busy with what?" I grunted. "Noisy much?" I texted her, "bidness." She texted back in less than a second. "So ur not telling me?:(" "no, it's my business. just something i gotta do."

She didn't text back after that, but she read it.

I sighed a heavy sigh. I just hoped that things were gonna go right.

*EDWIN'S POV*

I waited for Sammy at the park. I came 20 minutes early, to prepare myself.

Don't cry, just be calm...

I heard a car go off and saw Sammy walking over. He was early as well. It was windy, and he knew I didn't like the cold.

"So...what is it?" He sat down and breathed heavily. "I love you. I can't deal with his anymore. Charlotte asked me out and I said yes because I hate grieving."

Oh that's right.

"So I realized how much I missed you...and I'm sorry. I blamed you for many things, but I do need explanations from you."

I nodded. My thoughts were on fire. I needed to speak.

"Andrew told me she tried sabotaging me from the start. First the motor cycle. My mom let her in, since we're "friends" and she ruined it. Then I told her specifically not to get strawberries but she did, and I'm sorry for laughing at you that one time."

He smirked. Oh how I missed that smirk. "Alright." "And when she told you I cheated, that was your fault. Dumbass you know I'm gay." Sammy nodded slowly. "...True." "I love you Samuel. It's weird how a girl got between us, but not in that way."

I saw his smile, which I also missed, and his sweaters during this time. Oh how soft they were, oh how they smelled so good.

Ahem....sorry bout that....heh.

"I missed you."

I smiled as well. Samuel leaned over and kissed me.

"I KNEW IT!"
