(Flashback)

"H-Hey you wanna come to my soccer match..?" A 15 year old Sam asked.

"You have soccer here! I thought it was football...?" A 15 year old me stated.

"I-It is but you can call it what you want to..." Sam stated with a super nervous laugh.

(Another Flashback)

"Y/N?? You coming to Prom..? Er.. Homecoming I believe is what you call it..?" A 16 year old Sam stated rubbing the back of his neck.

"Mhm..! I don't have a date though.." A 16 year old me said disappointed.

"W-We can go together!" Sam said with us eyes widening.

"Wha?" I said confused.

"As a team....." Sam said looking at the ground.

(Present Time)

I got up from the bed and without looking back at Tom I slid past Mr.Holland and confronted Sam. He was in his room, by the looks of it reading.

"Is it a surprise or something...?" Sam asked.

"Guess you could say that..." I said.

"Y/N are you... leaving...?" Sam asked.

"Sam.." I said.

"I tried so hard to understand you! I used America terms so you would feel at home! I hung out with Joan so he wouldn't be alone! I tried so hard to help you...!! Because I liked you..!!!" Sam said.

"Then why didn't you ever say anything..!" I said.

"Y/N..! Who asked you to Homecoming?"

"Prom.." I corrected him.

"Me! I did.. but you looked at me so confused and shocked that I said as friends or whatever.. I've asked you to hundreds of my games! I win every time because I know! I know your watching!"

"Why didn't you tell me this before then! If I'm so important to you..! Why did you let me slip from your fingers..!" I stated.

"Because... Tom.." Sam stuttered.

"Tom?" I questioned.

"He tried really really hard to understand what you were going through and he can't.. He needs you... A year after you got here he started talking about you.. a lot..." Sam confessed.

"R-Really...?" I stated looking down at the ground blushing.

"He even dated that one girl because he thought you would never love him... And when you got jealous.. Just for one day.... She dumped him.." Sam said also looking away from me.

"B-But he... you.." I stuttered.

"He loves you... He loved you for longer than I have.." Sam said laying on his bed again.

"Sam but you.." I stuttered.

"I know I like you but.... We're.. Best Friends.. remember?" Sam said with a warming smile staring up at the ceiling.

(Flashback)

"You wanna be best friends!" 9 year old Sam asked.

"Yeah!" 9 year old me said.

(Present Time)

"Sam but you said you liked me...?" I stuttered.

"Y/N.. I always will... But Tom loves you..." Sam said looking over at me.

"I promise I'll go to every match from now on...." I swore to him feeling super bad.

We had a small moment of silence before it was interrupted abruptly.

"For the record I didn't tell him anything..." Harry said sitting up in his bed.

"HARRY..?!?" We both said together pissed off.

"Oops..?" Harry said.

"Harry what the heck..!" Sam said.

"You didn't tell me to leave..?" Harry defended.

"I thought you were ASLEEP..!" Sam said.

"Ok both of you stop! Do I really need to be your mother..?!" I said.

"But h-" Sam started.

"STOP!" I said.

"Harry! Stop being a prick and picking out everything your brother does! And Sam! Stop defending yourself like a child! Your not the victim!! Don't make yourself one!" I said.

Harry and Sam were speechless. They just looked at each other then back at me.

"...I can't believe I did that.." I said walking out of the room.

"What's did you say the the boys?" Mr. Holland said still in my doorway.

"To stop being a prick and the other a child..." I said looking up at him hoping he wouldn't be mad.

Both Mr. Holland and Tom started laughing so hard and I laughed along nervously.

"What's going on here?" Paddy asked with Joan following him.

"Y/N yelled at the Twins..!" Mr. Holland said.

"Ok..?" Joan said walking back to the room.

"You guys are weird.." Paddy said running off to Mrs.Hollands room.

We all eventually stopped laughing and I peered back into Sam and Harry's room and saw the two so pissed off at us.

"We're dead.." I said with a smug smile on my face.

"I know..." Tom said.

"Least I got whatever that was figured out with Sam..." I said.

"I'm gonna go talk to them too so.. carry on..." Mr. Holland said leaving the room.

"Yeah.. What did you say anyways..." Tom asked as I sat down on my bed.

I proceeded to explain everything that happened in the conversation. Tom was really blushed at first but then it slowly went into a laugh again.

"But... aside from all that.... Is it true..?" I asked hoping I wouldn't have to finish the sentence.

He looked at me confused and expecting me to say something.

"And..?" He said.

"That... you've liked me.. that long..." I stuttered.

"Y-Yeah..." Tom stuttered as well.

"But I was such a jerk to you.." I said.

"I was too... I thought that if.. I was mean or whatever like you... You would like me back.. And when Elle came along I jumped at that opportunity seeing as you would never.. ever love me...." Tom explained then he fell face first in his pillow.

I didn't say much.. I just smiled and nodded my head... in the inside I was about to burst... He's so nice..!

"But sincerely... I'm sorry about the kiss......" Tom stuttered.

"You don't have to be..." I said not facing him lying on my side giggling on the inside.
