Stupid Love

Purge

The last month of my junior year pretty fast. I had spoken to Jake as much as I could. Yet it felt as if were drifting. Every day I'm not with him it felt like we were being pulled apart more and more. I try to fight it but I can't help the feeling. Jake and I were falling apart.
On the last day of school Sam had a huge party.Every kid in school who were apart of the populars or friends of the populars came. The music was loud. Yet Sam's dad was loved by all in his neighborhood so none of the neighbors complained.

"New girl!" Sam shouted when I arrived.

"It's been a month sam, I'm not the new girl anymore."

"You're new in my heart Mac. Every time I see your beautiful face my heart skips a beat."

I laugh. "Where's your girlfriend sam?"

He shrugs. "We broke up yesterday. She's modeling for the break and says she can't be seen with high school boys anymore. It was bound to end anyways."

"That sucks Sam."

He smiles. "She wasn't worth my time anyways. She cared more about tomorrow's outfit than she did me. I'm over it."

Sam blocked his pain with humor. Over the past month I had noticed that. Sam did love Ashlynn, very much. They were together since their freshman year. He could deny it all he wanted but I knew he loved her.

"Follow me." he says pushing through the crowd and walked up the stairs of his large house.
He opens the door to his room. He walks to his bed and falls over on it.

"I hate my life sometimes." He mumbles.

I walk and crawl over on the bed next to him. "Why? your life is perfect Sam."

"Perfect? my parents are never home Mac. I'm always alone in this stupid house. I've dated but I couldn't connect with any of those girls. I was only with Ash because of an image. Cliche stuff, you know?"

I nod. "We all have our demons Sammy."

He smiles. A real big genuine smile. "I love that you call me that."

"Your a good person. No matter what, you deserve to be happy."

He turns to look at me. He raises up his head and moves his face to mine. Our lips meet quickly. Sam was good. He took control and I was lost. Lost in him. We moved perfectly together, in complete harmony.

"Wait!" I snap pulling away from him. "I have a boyfriend Sam. I love him."

He sits up on the bed and bury his face in his hands. "I know, I'm sorry. I just like you a lot Mac."

"I'm sorry Sam. I shouldn't have led you on."

I walked over to the door.

"Mac!" he shouts. "there's a quote. It says if you ever find yourself in the situation we're in you choose the second person. If you truly loved your boyfriend mac, this wouldn't have happened."

"I do love him, very much. I like you too though but I won't hurt him." I say.

"I understand."

I nod and walk out the room. I push my way through the crowd and run outside. I had to go home. I had to hear Jakes voice. I had to know that there was hope for Jake and I.
