He walked up to us and I clenched onto Jack’s shirt in fear. As he got closer to us he began to stroll before leaning against the lockers with a smirk plastered across his face. "Well aren’t you two just the cutest" Sam said in a patronising tone which caused me to move away from Jack slightly, as I looked at the ground. “Don’t go there Wilkinson” Jack said between his teeth as he clenched his fists. Sam brushed him off, turning to me still wearing that smirk. "Thanks for replying to my texts last night, really appreciate it" He said chuckling sarcastically.

I still said nothing, not really knowing how exactly to reply. “So are you just not going to say anything?” He continued with a sour tone. “Sam leave it, she clearly doesn’t want to talk to you right now” Jack said stepping in front of me in a protective manner. "I deserve an explanation" Sam said beginning to lose his cool, getting all up in Jack’s face. “Well you’re not getting one” Jack spat back. “I think she can speak for herself” Sam said shoving Jack lightly. I knew exactly where this was headed so I stood between them. "Stop right now, that’s enough! Sam’s right he deserves an explanation-" I began but Jack cut me off "But-" he began but I returned the favour and cut him off.

"No buts" I said beginning to walk over to the other side of the lockers and Sam followed. “I’ll see you in Science” I said to Jack knowing he was going to want to wait for me. Sam stood in front of me, looking down on me. "Well?" He said sighing. "Look Sam I know I handled the situation really badly and I shouldn’t have broken up with you when you were drunk, but it still doesn’t change the way I feel. I thought I could help you but I can’t. I can barely help myself at this point and if that’s selfish then I’ll admit it yeah I’m selfish. I just can’t deal with the stress and the pressure of dating you, it’s like any minute you’re going to flip out and it scares me" I ranted. Sam sighed loudly rubbing the back of his neck, looking at his feet.

"I really hope you understand.." I said quietly kind of expecting him to flip out. He let out a deep breathe. “No no I completely understand, it couldn’t have been easy for you to date a complete psycho” He said in a guilty tone. "Sam you’re not a psycho, you’re a great guy and I really mean it but I just don’t think I can help you if we’re dating, it’s too hard" I said taking his hand in mine. "I will help you as much as you need but only as a friend" I said half smiling at him. He nodded in agreement. “Thanks” He said smiling at me. “For what?” I asked him confused "For trying, you’re one of the only people who has" He said squeezing my hand. 

"No problem, what are friends for?" I said grinning at him. "Yeah.." He said before there was a long pause. “So are you and Jack back together now?” Sam asked me. “What no? why?"  I said confused at why he would ask that. "Really? well you will be soon" He said laughing. “No.I don’t think so..I think too much has happened" I said half smiling to hide my disappointment. "I guarantee you in a few weeks you guys will be back, you guys just fit, I don’t know I was always kind of jealous of your and Jack’s connection" He said shrugging casually. I didn’t really know how to respond so I just kind of smiled.

"Well I better get to class..Are we cool?" I asked him as I backed away. "Of course" He said grinning before walking away. I walked into Science and Jack gave me a concerned look."Everything’s fine" I said before he could ask. He didn’t ask me anything else throughout the whole class. “So what happened?” Jack asked when class was over. "Never mind we sorted it out" I said trying to be casual about the situation. "So are you guys like officially over now?" Jack asked as we walked out of class. "Yeah I guess…why?" I asked turning my head to face him. "Just wondering" He said chuckling nervously. “I want to show you something after school so wait for me” Jack called as he began walking to his next class."Where are we going?" I asked him curious. “It’s a secret” He smirked as he pressed his finger to his lips. I laughed rolling my eyes before going to class.

After school I stood out in the car park waiting for Jack. I felt two arms encircle my waist and a head lean on my shoulder. “Ready to go?” Jack said. "Should I be scared? Where are you taking me?" I said getting into the car. “Well that all depends on whether on not your still as much as I good girl as you were when we first met” He said chuckling as he pulled out of the car park. “Hey I wasn’t that much a good girl” I said offended and Jack just laughed. We drove for about a half an hour before we came to a cliff edge. "Why do I get the feeling you’re going to murder me?" I said raising an eyebrow at him. he just chuckled to himself as he reached into his pocket for something. I stared intently at him as he did.

"You seem a little stressed lately so I thought this might help" He said pulling out a clear bag with green stuff in it. "Is that Pot?" I asked surprised.
