Don't let me go (GxG)

Chapter 20

    ~~~~~ Sam's pov ~~~~~~

the truck was silent as we drove off to wherever we were headed. i couldn't look back because i knew if i did i would start crying. i tried so hard not to jump out of the moving car. i looked out the window and saw all the houses whip by in a blur.

  i just wondered what is going to happen. i don't know how far i am going to be from Chelsea. i just want to go back. so many thoughts just kept swirling around my mind and i drifted off into a sad sleep.

when i woke up we were just pulling up to this apartment complex. it was dark out and we were in the middle of a big city. i can hear the roar of cars driving by. i got out stretching out my soar legs. i look around and see nothing familiar.

" come on. we will get your stuff later, it's late." my what i guess mother said and motioned to follow.

i didn't say anything and followed into the big building. we walked up the stairs to the second floor and at the end of the hallway we stopped and she unlocked the door. as i came in i was hit with a strong scent of flowers.

it was very small. i didn't understand why i had to be here. i know she is my mother but she left me with my father who she knew was a drunk.

   * flash back *

i stepped out of my room rubbing sleep out of my eyes. it was Christmas morning and i was excited for my presents. even though i knew i only will get a few. i walked out to the kitchen and saw my dad stumbling about in there.

" Daddy. what are you doing? " i asked looking up at him.

"shut up you. i am making coffee." he slurred.

" okay. did you know it is Christmas? can i open my presents now?" i asked hoping that i would be able to.

" Christmas!! ahh!! i didn't get you anything. your ungrate *hiccup* ful little brat. " he said and pushed me out of his way.

" but... but Daddy!! " i said not really understanding why he was being like this.

he stomped over to me and wrapped his hand around my arm ripping it up. " you will behave. no buts about it! "  he yelled and pushed me to the ground.

" ouch!! " i yelled.

he turned around on his heels almost losing his balance he bent down and picked me up by my shirt.

" you will not yell in this house." he said and slapped me across my face.

i began to cry and sobbed he dropped to the ground and kicked me and my side. i looked up at him with tears in my eyes. i said nothing. then i saw my mother step out of the hallway into the kitchen and did nothing to stop him from kicking me.

      *end of flash back*

i saw little framed pictures of me when i was younger. i looked at them and saw some of all of us. my Dad her and me as a baby in a portrait.

" so this will be your room." she said from behind me stepping forward opening a door.

it was all white with a small bed in the corner. "we can paint to what ever color you want. i want you to feel at home here." she said and put her hand on my shoulder.

i shrugged it off " i will never be home here" i said under my breath.

" huh. what did you say?"  she asked.

" nothing." i whispered.

she just shrugged and left. i walked over and laid on the bed. i pulled out my phone and unlocked it looking at the home screen of Chelsea and i kissing.

a tear started to from in my eye when the phone started to ring. i saw the contact and knew instantly who it was.

" hello?"  i said

" i already miss you." she said.

" i know Chels. me too." i said holding back more tears that were forming.

" my dad is trying everything he can to get you back." she said.

" tell him thanks for everything." i said.

" you will come back. i promise." she said sounding like she was about to cry too.

" i know babe. i know." i said letting tears slip down.

" where are you anyways?" she asked.

" i have no idea, but it is a big city." i said.

" oh i know where that is. its like an hour from here." she said.

" well that's not to far i guess." i said smiling sadly. realizing that she couldn't see it.

" it is going to be hard to sleep." she said.

" i know it will. i won't know how i can sleep." i said.

" will you stay on the phone for the night?" she asked.

" of course i will." i said.

i put her on speakerphone and laid the phone on the nightstand by my bed.

i curled up under the crisp white blankets that also smelt new.

" good night love." she whispered over the phone.

"good night. i love you." i whispered back.

" i love you too." she whispered back.

then all i could hear was her soft breathing as i slowly fell asleep to a rough nights sleep.

      ****** Chelsea's pov ******

i woke up and rolled over and felt the cold spot where Sam would usually be. i looked at it and i could still smell her faint scent. that alone made me smile, a sad smile but still.

i rolled out and got up slowly, i felt that if i moved to fast i might fall apart. i know i must be over dramatic about this. i should think of the positives, if there were any.

  i made my way into the kitchen just to walk back out. i didn't want to eat. not right now. i walked into the living room and fell onto the couch. i clicked the TV on and stared at the screen i didn't do much else.

  about an hour later my dad came in and sat down beside me putting his arm around my shoulders and pulling me into him.

" it's going to be okay sweetie." he whispered to me. rubbing his hand against my arm.

" it doesn't feel like it." i said shrugging.

" i know, but it will. you'll see." he said.then added "hey, how about i make us some hot coco and a bunch of marshmallows. then watch some movies." he said with a smile.

" okay. i guess." i sighed.

he stood up and patted my hair. i heard the clanging of cups in the kitchen. about ten minutes he came out with steaming coco  piled mountain high with marshmallows. my favorite.

he handed the cup to me and he sat down with his.

" thanks Dad." i said.

" no problem hun." he smiled at me.

" so what movie should we watch?" he asked.

" um maybe an action." i suggested.

" ooh. what about Avatar?" he asked.

" sounds good to me." he said.

he got up and found the DVD and plopped it into the player, turning on the surround sound. he brought over blankets and sat back down with me.

we watched the movie and drank coco till we both fell asleep.
