Can You Save Me? { Sam Pottorff }

Chapter 26 ~ Jamey is life.

Jazmin's P.O.V.

"It was nice talking to you." I give them a small smile before getting up and rushing in the opposite direction. I hear heavy steps from behind me and I begin to walk faster.

"Jazmin, please do not shut me out right now."

I stop, and I can feel him right behind me. I turn around and look up at him. His face is covered with guilt, and I know he's thinking about a million things.

"What do you want from me?" I take my hands out of my pockets and wave them around in the air. "This is just all, ughhh. Do you want me to make things tight with him? Is that what it is?"

"I want you to listen to him." His voice is stern, but pleading.

I watch over his shoulder, at James talking to Mark and Jeremy. The moment he glances over at us, I look at the floor.

I have no idea why I'm being this way with him and all of this. If it's true I don't know how I would feel, but if he's saying he didn't do it, why am I being to stubborn to believe him.

I don't even notice him in front of me until I get tapped on the head, being taken away from my thoughts.

"I-uh.."

"No, let me talk." He covers my mouth and I nod telling him that I can keep my mouth shut. "What you heard wasn't what you thought, it isn't true. You think I would be dumb enough to sell drugs? I don't even know who did this to me." He lifts up his arm in the sling. "Why would I lie about that?"

I feel bad about even thinking of him that way. I should know better, but I have been lied to before about something like this. I just don't know what to believe anymore.

"I mean, Yeah I fucked up, but drugs.. really?"

"I, I.." I feel stupid for thinking it now.

"Is this because of Vicky?"

I shake my head to quickly from hearing her name, and it clicks into James' head.

"It is about her, isn't it?" Marley's the only one I spoke to about her, but James knows what happened to her, so I think he understands why I'm being this way.

"No." I shake my head again and begin to walk backwards. "Well, if that's all I had to listen to, I have to get going."

I can't look at them anymore without thinking I'm a fucked up friend for not trusting him. Then again, I haven't been until just a month ago when I got kidnapped by Sam and Kian.

Just think about them and the others makes me slow down. My brain is replaying things in slow motion, and I know I probably look like a zombie right now. The sharp pain in my rib cage that I haven't felt in a while is back, making me completely stop. I apply pressure like I always do and stand still. I try not to breathe, but I accidentally take a big breathe and the pain brings me down to the floor.

"Are you okay?!" Jame's and Markey are both standing over me, now crouching down so they're level with me.

"I'm f- ahh." A weird squeak comes out when I try to respond. Talking makes it hurt to, but the last thing I want is for them to find out about this today.

"What's wrong? Does it hurt?" Marley already looks worried, looking into my eyes then at my hand over the spot that won't let me breathe or speak. I just shake my head trying to hold my breath.

"It does? Doesn't it?" James' looks just as worried. The way they're always right annoys the shit out of me. How they can know me so well, is just unbelievable, but I know them just as well.
