I Have Something to Tell You

Hold On For Dear Love

A/N: Does anyone know where I got the title from?

Davey's POV

I sat there and sobbed for what seemed like hours, but turned out to be only minutes.

What the heck, Sam? You couldn't take a little rejection? God, why were you so stupid? Why did you jump?

I hear a sound behind me. A twig snaps. I turn and do a double take.

I get off the ground, shakily and run to him. I jump into his arms and hold on for dear life. I cry on his shoulder, making his shirt wet.

I jump off, realizing what I was doing. "Sam, what the heck? I thought you were dead? I thought you jumped!"

He looks at me, bewildered. "Why would you think that?"

"Because I was tracking your phone, using that couples app you made me download and it said that you were right in front of me." I'm so confused it's not even funny. "Everyone is worried about you Sam. Your mom, Drew, Kylie."

He looks up. "Were you worried about me?"

"Worried enough to track you down."

He laughs. "Sorry about that. I got frustrated and threw my phone in the river."

I growl. "You're an idiot, you know that? What are you gonna do without your phone?"

He shrugs. "Davey I'm really sorry about Kylie and all that stuff, I-"

I cut him off. "I don't care right now. Right now I just want to be in your arms." He shuts up and wraps his arms around me. I melt into him.

Sam's POV

I finally made it home. My mom was crying when I unlocked the door. And she sighed in relief when she saw that it was me.

"Mom, I-"

"Go to bed, Sam," she sighed. "We'll talk tomorrow."I nodded and made my way upstairs.

That's a total of two talks that I'll be having tomorrow. Davey and Mom. Oh, let's not forget the principal, make that three.

I know what I'm in for with the principal. It's my first offense so I'll probably get a week of detention. Or suspension, I don't know, I've never been in trouble at school ever!

I face-plant into my pillow. I know tomorrow will be a long day.

8:30 A.M. in the principals office

"I have to say, I'm disappointed in you, Sam."

"I'm disappointed in myself," I say honestly. I overreacted to someone I didn't even know.

"I'm going to have to punish you, Sam."

"I know."

"Now, normally a students first offense would get them a week's worth of detention. For fights like the one you were involved in, it would be a months worth of after school detention and cleaning service around the school."

To me that seemed a little harsh.

The principal gave me a knowing look. "I know you Sam, and I know that you didn't want to get mixed up in the fight. So I've come up with another option for you."

"Really?"

"Yes, and I've already asked Coach Harris about it. He is willing to have you on this years boxing team, if you would like to trade that for your detentions and service commitments."

I looked at her like she'd just called my mother a cowbird. Me, Sam Wiseman, do a school sport? I wanted to laugh in her face, but for some reason I found myself saying,"That'll be fine, Mrs. White."

Kylie's POV

I wait outside the principals office for Sam, texting Lukas. I laugh at the emoji he just sent in response to my joke.

"I like a guy who's not afraid to use emojis" I text him.

He texts me back the blushing face, the sass girl, green heart, and the three monkeys. I smile and start to type a response when Sam walks out.

He sees me and heads in the other direction. "Hey, Sam, how was it?"

He chuckled darkly. "How the hell do you think it was?" His dark hair is wild, like he couldn't even be bothered to brush it this morning.

"Um, it sounds bad."

"You're looking at the new member of the boxing team!" He says, sarcastically.

"Oh, well that's good, right? No detentions, clean record?" I give him a small smile, hoping to receive one in return.

"Look, Kylie," he starts off, running the back of his neck. "I'm sorry, but you're making this really hard on me." I step back, stunned.

"What?"

"It's just, I'm trying to get over you and I want to be happy. I want to be happy with Davey and you're kind of in the way, everywhere I turn."

"I-I'm sorry. I was just trying to help."

"I know and it's greatly appreciated. You're still my best friend, I'll love you like that forever. It's just, I need time to stop loving you the other way."

"I-I understand." I think, I add silently. He gave me hug, let go and walked away. Leaving my to wonder if my best friend just dumped me.
