When. (Our Second Life)

Chapter 8

***Sam's POV***

Holy shit...

I looked at her bare, scarred stomach. There were hundreds of scars covering the lower half of it... What the hell would make her do this?!

I placed my hand over the scars, making sure they were real. She took in a sharp breath when I touched them. Yep, they were definetly real... at least I now know that I'm really not alone.

I took my hand off and she pulled down her shirt. I saw deep sadness flash in her eyes, but then they were empty. Emotionless.

That made me mad. Not at her, no. But at her uncle. How could he abuse such an innocent human being?.

"I'm gonna kick his ass the next time he dares touching you. You text or call me the second you feel threatened, ok?" I say firmly.

She nods, then tries to speak but it came out as just air. She cleared her throat and tried again.

"Thanks Sam... but that probably won't happen for a while. Actually, my uncle said he wasn't coming home for a week!" her eyes lit up as she said this. It sickened me that she would have to be afraid of her own family. He's the only damn family she has.

But I fake a small smile anyway, just for her sake.

"That's great, Rosie." I wanted her away from him as long as possible. "You know, you can crash with us until he gets back. You're always welcome, the guys love you."

"Okay." was her only reply.

Then she tackled me with a huge hug, making me fall back onto the bed.

"Thank you," she mumbled into my chest.

"You got it, love." I say.

***Rose's POV***

"That's great, Rosie." Sam said after I told him my uncle would be gone. "You know you can crash with us until he gets back. You're always welcome, the guys love you."

My heart lifted. Anything to get away from that hellhole was good enough for me. I was pretty much speechless, so all that came out was "Okay."

Then I lunged on him, giving him a huge bear hug making him fall back. I burried my face in his chest, and mumbled a thank you.

"You got it, love." he said. Since my ear was to his chest, his voice was rough. I could hear his heartbeat. I had never been this close to someone since my parents died...

I jumped up onto my knees and squeeled. Sam gave me a look like I had lost my mind.

"I GET TO SPEND THE NIGHT AT MY BEST FRIEND'S HOUSE FOR A WHOLE WEEEEEEK!!!!!" I shout, getting excited. This was gonna be awesome!!!

"OMG!!!" Sam screamed in a valley girl accent, playing along.

>><<>><<>><<>><<>><<

We had an amazing day together. Moving on from our "deep talk", we did SO much!!

The rest of the boys came back (including Trevor!!!) a little after the talk around lunch, and we did a bunch of mindless, carefree things. Basiclly, we had a stereotypical Californian day.

This is all that went down:

We had Taco Bell for lunch since that's what they brought home. Then Sam told them I was staying for the week, and we had a mini dance party. Andrea and Jenn came over so I had some female company, and they are the funniest chicks ever!!! We all filmed a collab video together (I was the guest star, even though I looked like shiiit), and in the middle of it the boys decided it would be funny to pick all us girls up and throw us into the pool... with our clothes on!!! They even got it on camera.

Trevor gave me some of his clothes to change into. He gave me a sweatshirt and sweatpants. They smelled like him... almost floral but still like a boy/man/child whatever he was. Its my new favorite smell ever...

Me, Jenn, and Andrea decided to get them back though. At around 6, we told them we were gonna make dinner. Typical boys, they went along saying it was our job anyway. But they were gonna pay.

So we made some salads, but we made our own dressing. We made two batches: one for us and one for them. In theirs we added so much spices that when we dared Jenn to try just a little, she ended up spitting it in the sink and downing a glass of water. We made ours normal, though.

When we brought them their food, not only were they disappointed it was salad, but the look on their faces when they ate it was PRICELESS. Jc and Connor puked in the grass, I guess they got a huge mouthful. The rest of them ran inside and spat in the sink like Jenn. We got it all on camera while laughing our butts off, and uploaded it to Andreas channel.

Lets just say that these 9 people were my new family, and they just accepted me in like I was never not a part of them... just always there.
