Y/n' POV
"So..." I say. "Who'd you call?"
"No one" he says
"Sam you clearly called someone and I'll find out sooner or later so whats the harm in telling me" I say
"Oh there some harm, you just don't see it yet" he says
"What the hell does that even mean? Do I know this person?" I ask
"Yeah... you can say that" he says
"Sam I'm gonna need you to stop acting weird and tell me who's about to pick us up" I say
"...Oh look she's here" Sam says standing up
"Who's here?" I say standing and looking around
"A limo?" I say confused. "Wait who the fuck do you know that has a limo!?" I say
"Don't hate me Okay" Sam pleads
"Why would I hate-" I start to say before my eyes are diverted to the woman stepping out of the car
"Hey Sam are you ok?" She asks
"Yeah we just, we got kicked out of our apartment and we need a place to crash. Just for tonight though, I can maybe beg my parents to help pay next months rent but right now I'd rather not sleep on the street" He says
"Yeah of course, you can stay at my place for as long as you need" she says
"Thanks Lauren" Sam says as Lauren gets back in the car
"... Sam wtf" I say
"What?!" He says. "Look y/n yes, ok I kept touch with Lauren since you guys broke up I'm sorry but, without her we'd be sleeping on the streets tonight so, your welcome"
"Your welcome? Sam, Lauren and I didn't end on such great terms" I say
"That's was three years ago y/n, I'm sure she's over it by now" he says
"She didn't even glance at me" I say
"It's one night" he says. "And this whole situation is your fault so go get your shit and put it in the back of her limo and shut the fuck up because I saved our asses once again, whether you like it or not" he says
"...Fine" I say
-
As we enter the limo I can feel the obvious tension Lauren is trying so hard to create. It's like she wanted me to feel the utmost of uncomfort. Still not once has she looked over at me or even acknowledged my existence. It's all about Sam blah blah blah. I couldn't take it anymore
"Yeah so I've been taking some small acting roles here and there but I haven't quite found that permanent place yet, you know" Sam says taking a sip of his wine. The wine that Lauren offered him but not me of course
"That's cool I get it, when I first moved out to LA, getting someone to recognize my passion was hard but, time pays off and you'll get that part I believe in you" She says
"Yes he will!" I say
I decided to insert myself into the conversation I was never invited to and take that glass of wine I was never offered.
"So Lauren, I see that voice has treated you well" I say picking up a wine glass and stealing some wine
"Umm.. yeah" She vaguely says
"That's great" I condescendingly say
"Yeah." She says as she looks over at me
"Oh look we're here" Sam says
"Cool.. wait- how the hell do you know this is were she lives?" I ask as I see Lauren smirk
"Ugh, the driver stopped so I just assumed..." he says
••••••
"So this is it" Lauren says
"It's great thank you again Lo" Sam says
"Yeah so the guest rooms are down that hall, pick whichever or share I don't care" she says
"Ha yeah I'm not sharing. Y/n I love you but after the past few days I need a small break from you" Sam laughs as he picks up his bags
"Whatever-" I start to say
"Yeah I know the feeling..." Lauren says
"... Cool" Sam says as he walks to his room
And like an idiot I just stand there. I don't move and I don't speak, I just stand there in an awkward silence with a girl who hates me.
"Yeah I'm gonna go" She says as she walks away
"Lauren wait" I call out to her
"What?" She says
"I... thanks... for this" I say with a forced smile
"...I did this for Sam not you" she says as she walks away
••••••
"What the fuck Sam!" I yell as I barge into his room
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you about Lauren before but-"
"No! I mean why the hell did you have to pick this room, it was like a maze trying to figure out which one you were in" I say
"Oh" he says
"But also yes! Why the fuck are you friends with her!" I say
"When you guys started dating and she started hanging out with us, I guess she grew on me..." he says. "She pretty cool"
"I don't care, you're my friend! When I breakup with someone you breakup with them too!" I say
"You're crazy" he laughs
"Sam!" I say
"I'm sorry ok! But let's be real, if I didn't keep in touch with her we'd be trading our latest finds with homeless Al" he says
"I like Al!" I say
"Yeah... me too" he says sarcastically. "But I also like showering and fresh linens as well" he says
"God, When the fuck did you become so boujee?" I say
"You're one to talk. Didn't you spend like $300 on a shirt a few weeks ago?" He says
"That's beside the point!" I say
"I just don't want to be a fucking homeless person when we have friends who can help us!" He says
"You have friends" I say correcting him. "I burned that bridge a long time ago" I say as I cross my arms
"Three years ago y/n. And she isn't mad at you anymore, she's over it" He says
"She may be over it but, she still hates me" I say
"Well can you blame her?" He asks
"What?" I say
"You did do a fucked up thing to her purely out of fear. She is granted to be mad" he says
"Sam?" I say
"What?" He says back
"How the fuck do you know anything about our break up?...."
