Could It Be? (A Sam Woolf fanfiction)

Chapter 25

I suggest listening to Last Kiss by Taylor Swift while reading this part. . .

I picked up his sweatshirt and stared at it. It brought back all of the great memories that we had together, up until our break up. Tears began to sting my eyes again, but I held them in. I was not going to cry again.

I sat down on my bed and put the sweatshirt next to me. It felt like Sam was sitting there instead of the shirt, but I knew that wasn't true. I didn't know why, but I found myself putting the sweatshirt on. I felt like Sam was there hugging me...

No, I will not think like that. Me and Sam are done. . .over. . .broken up. . .I don't even know how to word it. I can't take this anymore. I sat on my floor by my desk and cried. I cried into the sleeves of his shirt for what seemed like hours.

Gosh, I cry to much. I cry about basically everything, and I don't know-

My thoughts were interrupted by a knock at my door. Who was here right now? Kat maybe?

"Honey, are you okay?" asked my mom from the other side of the door. I quickly stood up and went back to putting my things away, still wearing Sam's clothing.

"Yeah, um, yeah I'm fine." I said quietly. I guess my mom didn't hear me, because she came right in. I looked at her, my eyes puffy and red from crying so much.

"Oh my goodness, Alyssa, what happened?" she asked as she sat on the edge of my bed, me following. I couldn't think of an excuse, so I just told her.

"Sam and I broke up. . .and I miss him so much! I can't take this anymore, mom! I love him so much, and he broke up with me, saying that he was doing this all for me," I said as I began to cry again. Mom pulled me into a hug and tried to comfort me.

"I just don't understand," I continued. "He said he loved me, then we broke up. Why would he do that? Was there someone else? I just don't get it. . ." After a minute or two, my mom broke the hug, her hands still on my shoulders, and looked me in the eyes.

"Alyssa, it might be hard right now, but things will get better, I promise. Sam did this for you, because he thought it would be better for you, just remember that." she said.

"Thanks, mom," I said, wiping away my tears that were still falling. My mom got up and walked out of the room, and I crawled into my bed, tired from all of the crying.

I was woken up a couple if hours later by my phone ringing. I looked at the caller ID and it was Kat.

"Hello?" I said, still very tired.

"Hey, I heard about what happened. I'll be over in ten," said Kat.

"Wait, Kat, I-" but she hung up before I could say anything else. I fell back onto my pillow and decided to get up. I changed out of my jeans and put on my blue pajama pants on, and kept Sam's shirt on.

I walked downstairs, sat on the couch, and turned on the TV. Just as I turned the TV on, Kat barged into the room with a big duffel bag.

"Hey Kat," I said, turning my attention back to the television. I yawned and laid down.

"Wow, you really are a mess. But I brought some stuff," she said and sat next to me, making me sit up. She pulled things out of the bag, one by one.

"Okay, so I have some pop, three boxes of Girl Scout cookies, romance movies and comedy movies, board games, tissues-" and she kept listing all of the things she brought. We ended up watching The Vow two times, crying and laughing a lot. We went through a whole box of tissues in just the first movie. Then we each got our own pop and box of Girl Scout cookies, and by nine o'clock, I was feeling a lot better. Kat began to pack up her things, or what was left of them.

"Thanks for coming over, I had fun." I said as Kat got up.

"No problem, I'm glad you had fun. Well, I'll see you tomorrow," she said, then left. I walked to the kitchen and got some more food, and then went back up to my room and fell asleep.

The next morning, I woke up by the sound of my phone ringing.

"What?" I snapped into the phone, angry because Kat woke me up.

"Hey, I have some great news! Meet me at Starbucks in and hour," Kat said, and was about to hang up, but I didn't let her.

"No, I can't leave the house! I'm still a mess, I'm not over the whole break up thing yet!" I said, irritated. Did she really expect me to get up?

"Fine, then I'm coming over. Bye," and she hung up. I sighed and decided to get up. My mom wasn't home, so I had to get my own breakfast. I grabbed a tub of chocolate ice cream and a spoon and sat on the counter. Then there was a knock at the door.

"What?" I yelled, not getting up to see who it was. If it was Kat, she would just come right in.

"Hey Alyssa, I have some great news!" said Kat as she took a seat across from me.

"And what is it?" I asked.

"Well there's this guy, and-"

"Wait Kat, aren't you still with JC?" I asked curiously.

"Yes, but I'm talking about you, there's this guy as he's really nice and I think you would really like him. He said he likes you." she said excited.

"Kat, are you serious? I literally just broke up with Sam two days ago, I can't move on this fast." I said. "And how do you even know him?"

"Well, you know, there's this thing called school. . ." She said.

School.

I completely forgot about school. I am going to have so much makeup work!

"Wait, what is today?" I asked her.

"Saturday," she replied. I sighed in relief knowing that I will still have a whole weekend to relax.
