Torn (A sam and Chandler riggs fanfic)

The truth hurts

Chandler:

Oh god! Her facial expressions told the whole story. My stomach twisted in knots and my heart squeezed itself into a tiny ball and rose into my throat.

"Chan?" She whimpered tears in her eyes, "How?"

"I drank a lot last year. Jess would drink too and we would go get high and do other illegal crap! I fell in love with the idea of being able to break the law. One night Jess told me I went to far so She wouldn't tell I- I- I hit her with uh um- pole and it killed her. My parents took me out of school and into rehab and Sam switched schools for a while. He came back after everything calmed down. We didn't speak again until the storage room." Chandler said holding my hand, "So when that guy last night got all over you I freaked."

Em shook her head and sat on the floor. Her tears stopped flowing and her lips stopped quivering. Her eyes grew wide and she stared off into nothingness.

Time stopped

"I will never do this to you. I...I...I.. promise!" I stuttered.

"Chandler, promises are lies we tell ourselves to make us feel better. Promises are fragile especially when told by unstable teenagers." She said looking up at me.

BAM!!!
