Lovers Scars (OLD VERSION)

Chapter 11

EDITED BY trymenow

Tyler’s POV

        I feel Sam’s body relaxing and her heartbeats go slowly in a rhythm and I know that she’s falling asleep when I faintly hear her say, ‘I love you.’ I feel my whole body go stiff. I wasn’t expecting her to say that. Fuck, what should I do? She can’t be in love with me. She just can’t!

        I look down at her and smile softly. I don’t want to think that I don’t love her because I know that I do. I sigh and look at the ceiling. How did I even get in this mess? Oh yeah, because I need the money. I have to get out of here and think, otherwise I’ll go crazy!

        I gently move out from under Sam, putting a pillow where my body just was. I look out Sam’s window and look at the driveway and know that her brother isn’t home. I get dressed and rush out of her house; driving away. I realize how stupid I’ve been. I should’ve just gotten a job instead of this. I was so desperate to get the money. Besides, no job was going to pay so much for what I needed. Kyle was going to pay a lot since he knows why I need it. I just hope that Sam forgives me when she finds out why I needed the money.

        I head straight home. I park in the driveway and I notice a small head from inside the house looking through the windows. I smile and enter my house.

As soon as I open the door, Chase comes running towards me and hugs me as tight as his little arms allow him to. “What’s up, big guy?” I pick him up in my arms.

“Nothing,” He grins and kisses my cheek. I laugh.

I put him down. “All right, what did you do?”

He motions for me to get close him and I do and he whispers, “I thpilled cookie dough,” he giggles.

Suddenly I hear a scream then my mom’s voice, “Chase Alexander, get in here right now!”

Chase widens his eyes, “Uh-oh.” He walks to the kitchen with his head down. “Yeth, mama?”

“How many times do I have to tell you not to spill that cookie dough?!” 

“I’m thorry, mama. I’m in biiig trouble, right?” Chase says and sniffs while still looking down.

I try not to smirk in front of my mom. I taught him well.

“No, baby, don’t cry. You were just playing around. It’s okay.” My mom walks over to him and hugs him. Chase hugs her back and grins at me over her shoulder.

I start to laugh but cover it with a cough before my mom would notice. He’s a smart little guy for a three year old.

Sam’s POV

        I wake up to an empty bed. Tyler left again. I didn’t think he would after having sex with me. I’m mad and sad at the same time. I wanted to wake up to him after spending last night together. Did he even spend the night with me or did he leave right after I fell asleep? I groan and look at the time. I groan again. This isn’t going to be a good day. I’m already late for school. Oh, f*ck it. I’m staying home today. I fall back on the bed and get my phone to text Kate about what happened and that I’m not going to school. I was going to text Tyler but think better of it and put my phone next to me, pulling the covers till they cover my face.

        “Sammy, you’re late!” Kyle yells.

        “I’m not going!” I yell back at him. Surprisingly, he leaves it alone and I yawn. Maybe I’ll go back to sleep. I close my eyes and fall asleep instantly.

Tyler’s POV

        I get to school and I don’t see Sam’s car. Maybe she’s just late. I walk through the hallways and I see Kate.

        “Hey, have you heard from Sam?” I ask her.

        “No, I haven’t.” She replies and walks away.

        I frown. That was weird, but I shrug it off. Maybe she’s PMS’ing.

        I get to lunch and I still haven’t seen Sam. I ask around for her but nobody has seen her. I skip classes again and drive over to her house.
