Love is everything

Complications {9}

*Sam's POV*

Alice and I have been texting since the day I gave her my number. I still cannot believe it, after my slip up telling her that I wouldn't leave, I apologized. I had to leave and somehow as compensation, she told me to give her my number. At first, I was going to make something, some lie so I could escape not giving her my number. But, after seeing the joy in her eyes, I couldn't bring myself to do that. I took a phone and searched for the number, she looked at me as if I was crazy when I told her that I was searching for the number. It's not my fault that I didn't knew it.

After giving her my number she seemed so happy. She called me instantly telling me that that was her number. I just looked at her mesmerized. She told me that she should leave now, that it was late and I agreed. I walked with her to her hotel, we didn't talk much. We didn't know what to say, so we just walked comfortably with each other. After we got there, she gave me a goodnight and left. I looked at her as she practically jumped from happiness and went through her hotel door. I couldn't stop looking at her as she went walking inside the building and to the elevators. I just stayed there like a fool until I heard a voice behind me.

*Flashback*

"Hey." I heard a voice behind me and I turned around to look at the responsible of the voice, Karen, I think that was her name.

"Hi." I say smiling politely.

"Sam, right?" She asks, her eyes tells me that she knows the answer to that, but she wants to talk to me and I'm guessing she's being polite.

"Yes, Karen. Right?" I say, still smiling, but know a little more real. It seems that she's surprised that I know her name. It's difficult to forget her, after all she interrupted my awesome moment with Alice, twice.

"Yes, I didn't expect that you remembered my name." She says with amusement in her voice. I laugh at her.

"Well, you make yourself hard to forget."

"Really?" She says arching an eyebrow.

"Yes, why?" I ask confused.

"I am hard to forget? Do you have a crush on me?" She says with a mocking voice. I look at her surprised. If not because I know she's kidding, I would be really embarrassed.

"Well, you know. You don't look bad and..." I say with the same mocking voice that she had.

"And?" She says, daring me to finish the sentence.

"And you're Alice's friend." I finish laughing. "But no, I don't have a crush on you. Sorry." I say shrugging my shoulders and still in the same mocking voice.

"Ouch!" She says raising her hand to her heart faking she's hurt. I just laugh at her as I try to find what she wants, but I frown when I see something unexpected. I continue looking at her, remembering myself that it's not of my business. "Are you okay?" She asks with concern in her voice.

"Eh? Yeah, why do you ask?" I say not getting why she asked me that question.

"You're frowning." I didn't even notice.

"Yeah, sorry. I just have a lot of things on my mind." I say smiling and trying to compose myself.

"I get it. You're thinking about Alice?" She says teasing me. I just laugh at that.

"Maybe." I say teasing too.

"Don't hurt her." She got me by surprise there; I didn't expect the mood to change so quickly. I look at her, she's serious. I smile at her as I see the worry in her eyes.

"You really care about her."

"She's my BFF of course that I care about her." She says nonchalantly. I really cannot stop smiling, she's a good friend. However, I frown remembering at what I saw earlier.

"You know, you should also talk with her." She looks at me as if I was crazy, not understanding what I am talking about, I cannot blame her there; it got me by surprise too that I'm doing this. I shouldn't be messing with her life, but I cannot avoid wanting to help her seeing how much care she has for Alice. "I know that I don't know anything about you, but just as much as you worry about her. She also worries about you. She's your BFF and she's there for you as much as you're there for her. Don't forget that, she is after all, there for you, always." I stop as she process all the information. I can see that she is surprised. "Tel her, she really cares about you. She'll be there and even if she cannot do much, it will help you too talking about it." She opens her mouth trying to say something but nothing goes out. "I'm sorry I may have been a little overboard. But I'm serious, I don't know..." I sigh. "I don't know." I say flatly. "However, I know that talking helps." I say as I left, letting her there shocked.

*End of flashback*

I groan as I remember it, I don't know why I did that. I shouldn't have messed with her life. Damn it. The guilt it's unbearable. I continue running without direction with dispersed thoughts on my mind.

"Sam" I stop as I hear my father talking to me.

"What?" I ask irritated. What the hell does he want now?

"I have another job for you." Of course, I should have expected it, the only reason that he talks with me it's when he has a job for me.

"What do I have to do?" I ask after sighing. I don't want to, but right now I need a distraction so I can at least take advantage of the offer. He starts to explain the job and after he finishes explaining it, I go there.

I look at the monster in front of me. There's more lately, I start to ask myself if something happened for this much to appear as I approach him. He starts to attack me as I just avoid it and counterattack, but before I can finish the attack I stop myself. I need a distraction, I shouldn't finish him so quickly. I start to play with him as I try to clear my thoughts.

Alice... What should I do? Should I give up and be with her? Every time we talk, well text, I'm happy. She makes me happy; talking with her makes me happy. A happiness that I don't deserve, at least not from her. I'm going to hurt her, I'm going to get hurt myself, or I may hurt both of us. However, getting hurt right now doesn't sound so bad, being happy with her, even for a short time, sound so appealing to me right now. I want her, I want to be with her and make her happy, to be happy. I sigh while still fighting him as such thoughts cross my mind. I decide to finish him after been fighting for him for half an hour now. I wait for him to launch an attack as I prepare for the counterattack, and finish him. I see him disappear after a few seconds and then I go home.
