A good kind of happiness (an o2l/sam pottorff fanfic) book 2

31

The next week was the slowest most boring week ever. Kian, Monica, Connor, and Jc all took turns taking care of me. Sam came by one day but I told Jc to make him leave. He keeps calling and texting and tweeting.. Ugh seriously take a hint. All this shit and I still have 1 more week of bed rest. I think Jc is coming over today but I'm not sure. Maybe I can convince him to take me out to lunch. I sat on my phone and scrolled through twitter for awhile. Sam tweeted me that we need to talk, which is true I just don't know when. A few minutes later I heard the front door open. I sighed and rolled out of bed. I walk down the stairs and found Ricky standing in my kitchen. "Hey you." I said. "Hey Jc sent me over he's sick." He informed me. "Is there any chance in the world you would take me to Taco Bell?" I asked. "Homegirl I thought you'd never ask!" He said with a snap. I giggled and ran upstairs to get dressed. It's like 58° right now because ya know.. January in Cali. I put on leggings, a white T, and my denim sweatshirt jacket. I put on a bit of makeup and straightened my hair. I trotted down the stairs and slipped on my converse. "No high heels?" Ricky asked. "Nope." I said popping the 'P'. Heels aren't really in the picture for the next week.

When we arrived at Taco Bell I realized I had forgot my purse. "Shit I forgot money.." I grumbled. "It's okay I got it." Ricky said handing the girl at the counter his credit card. As we turned to go to the table we heard the girl say something. "What?" I asked. She looked about 16 or 17. "Oh um I'm really sorry to bother you guys but I was just wondering if you two are dating now?" She asked quickly. Ricky chuckled. "No we're just friends going out for some lunch." He informed her. "I see. Have a nice meal." She said awkwardly. We laughed quietly as we walked to our table. "Ok gurl it's time for you to spill. What happened with Sam?" He asked. I sighed and told him everything. He just kinda sat there and stared at me for a second. "Hey it's the truth!" I said putting my hands up. He chuckled. We finished our food and drove back to my house. "So I have to head to the recording studio but I think Monica said she would stop over in about an hour." He said. I nodded, thanked him for lunch, and said goodbye. I went inside and headed straight to the shower. I happen to take very long showers so while I was rinsing off I heard the door open downstairs. I assumed it was Monica. "I'm upstairs!" I yelled. Then I heard a knock on my bedroom door. "I'm in the shower I'll be out in a minute." I yelled. I wonder why she isn't responding.? I stopped the water and wrapped a fluffy blue towel around myself. I slowly stepped into my room and found none other than Sam sitting on my bed. "What are you doing here?" I hissed.

"I just came to explain." He said innocently. "If you want to get dressed first it's okay." He said. "No I'm fine. It seems you're pretty used to having girls wearing only towels around you." I snapped. He rolled his eyes. "You know Sam, I think you should just leave." I said quickly. "Natty, Rachelle is just a friend." He defended. "I said please leave." I said as I opened the door for him. "Fine. But you can't avoid me forever Nat." He said. "Yeah but I can try!" I shouted as he went out the front door. I quickly through on purple, black, and grey pajama shorts and a purple tank top. I threw my hair into a messy bun and went downstairs. I heard the front door open once more. "Godammit I thought I told you to leave!" I yelled angrily. "Uh Natty?" I heard a female voice say softly. I face palmed and realized it was Monica. "Uh sorry hun. Sam was just over." I giggled. She smiled and began to speak. "So I was thinking we could have a girls night." She said. I nodded. "But there's no way it could be just us." She said with a grin. I gave her a confused look. "I brought back up." She laughed. Suddenly from down the stairs came Lia, Jenn, Rebecca, and.. Andrea? "An?" I said quietly. She looked at me with a sad face. "I hate when we fight." She mumbled as she looked at the floor. I ran over and gave her a big hug. "Forgive me?" I asked softly. She nodded. "Ok. Now that we're all good I can do this." I said. Then I turned and ran over to Jenn and tackled her to the floor. "JENNIFER!" I yelled. "I MISSED YOU!" She screamed in my face. The 6 of us set up a camera and took some pictures. Rebecca posted one and captioned it with the title we gave ourselves: scary movie queens of 2014. The 6 of us all squished onto my couch and put Haunting in Connecticut 2 in the disk player. About half way through the movie I got up to make some more popcorn. I turned around and saw a figure standing before me. I jumped in the air and quickly flipped the lights on. "Hey chill it's just me!" Lia said in her giggly voice. I laughed and put the bag of popcorn in the microwave. "So how many bedrooms do you have here?" She asked. "2." I responded with a confused look on my face. Her eyes lit up when she heard this. "Ok so I completely understand if you say no but, I've been looking for apartments in L.A forever and I can't find any for a reasonable price. Is there a chance in the world that we could split the payments of this house and I could move into the other room?" She asked. I drummed my fingers on the counter as I thought. It would make it easier for me if I had help with paying the bills. I looked up and grinned at her. "Welcome home." I said with a smirk. A huge grin spread across her face. She jumped up and hugged me. "Ahh OMIGOD this is gonna be so fun!" She squealed. Suddenly we heard the other 4 girls scream from the living room. We giggled and poured the popcorn into bowls. "We're gonna have to speak with the landlord about split-rent this week though.." I said with a glum face. It wouldn't be so bad except my landlord is such a bitch. Oh well. Lia and I will buy her sushi and she has to say yes.

Sometime around midnight we all fell asleep on the two couches and chairs. I woke up at like 3 in the morning to a knocking at the front door. Considering we just watch like 8 horror movies I debated whether I was going to get murdered if I went to the door or not. Being the dumbass that I am, I stood up and went to the door. I looked through the view finder and saw someone that I would never expect to find on my doorstep at 3am.

"Sawyer?" I asked quietly? "Natalie!" He cheered. Yup, he's drunk. "What are you doing here?" I asked. "So funny story actually, I can't find my keys and now I'm here." He slurred. I rolled my eyes. "So you lost your keys, and immediately think to come to me? We've hung out like 3 times." I grumbled. "Wait, were you driving?" I asked. He made a guilty face. "Seriously there's 5 sleeping girls in my house right now and if you wake even ONE of them up I'll kill you!" I scream whispered as I led him through the door. I locked it behind us and we started up the stairs. "It's dark!" He laughed. I smacked my hand over his mouth as we walked slowly up the second flight of stairs to my room. He flopped down on my bed and fell asleep almost instantly. When did I sign up for a baby sitting job?

The next morning I woke up to the smell of pancakes. "Bex? Did you make breakfast?" I asked. Rebecca nodded and flipped the chocolate chip pancakes over on the skillet. I looked over and saw all the other girls on their phones sitting at the table. I had just started making some coffee when I heard footsteps coming down the stairs. I cringed knowing who it would be. All the girls looked up with a mixture of worried and confused looks on their faces. "Sawyer?" Andrea asked. "Hello ladies." He said as he rubbed his head. "When did you get here?" Monica asked. "That's an excellent question." He mumbled. "Nat can I have like a gallon of coffee and 11 advils?" He asked. "HANGOVERS ARE A BITCH ARENT THEY!?" I shouted. He cringed and rubbed his head again. I giggled and poured him a cup of coffee and set some painkillers on the counter. I could tell the girls were genuinely confused about the whole thing. Jenn, Andrea, and Rebecca left right after breakfast. Monica informed me that she was headed over to see Connor and that she would text me. Right before Lia left I told her that tomorrow we are going out to dinner with the landlord. After all the girls left I sat down on the couch and handed Sawyer an ice pack. "Can we just run through how I ended up her again?" He asked. "Well at like 3 in the morning you showed up on my doorstep saying that you lost your keys and I wasn't gonna let you drive home like that." I told him. We sat around for like 2 hours until he said he had to leave. I walked to the door with him. "Uh would mind maybe not telling anyone about this? He asked. "I wouldn't dream of it." I assured him. As I opened the door I saw Sam pulling into my driveway. He sat in his car and stared at us. Sawyer leaving my house at 12:30 in the afternoon probably looked bad considering we both had bed head and he wasn't wearing a shirt. Whatever. Let Sam think whatever his little mind can dream up, because if he's gonna sleep around with random people.. So am I.
