Key To My Heart

Chapter 5

Sam’s P.O.V.

      I arrive home and I’m greeted by the four girls staring at me as I shut the door. 

“Ummm, h-hi guys.” I nervously say. I knew why they were all sitting there.

“Sam, come over here and share the news!’ Jayme exclaims. “I told the girls you had some exciting stuff to share!”

“Okay, hold on let me put my bag in my room, be down in a minute.”

I quickly run up the stairs to throw my purse and guitar on the floor as I try to plan what I’m going to say.

Sam, come on stop overthinking, just go down there an be straight up honest, it’s what you do best.

I go with my mind as my legs take each step one at a time slowly, hoping to pass by some time.

“ANY DAY SAM, I WANNA HEAR!” Courtney yells.

Yup, this is the moment of truth, my mind was telling me.

I sit down and say, “Okay girls, I’m just going to go straight to the point. I would really appreciate it if you could save your comments until I finish everything, and I will let you know when that is.”

I look at each girl, Jayme gives me a smile of encouragement, both Gab and Courtney nod their heads in anticipation, and I look at Katie who mouths to me, “I have to talk to you later.” I nod in response as I begin my story.

“Okay, so everything has been hectic for me recently. I know I never told you guys why I came to London. Well, it’s because I’m trying to become a professional singer. Wait, let me change the word ‘trying’ to ‘going.’ I’m going to become a professional singer. I met up with Simon Cowell in the United States before I came here. You know the day that I went to pick up the pizza? The line wasn’t long at all actually. I had to go to Simon’s apartment to talk about me and my future. I ended up signing to Sony Records and he is now my boss. Also, when I went to Simon’s apartment, One Direction was there too. They were taking a break from working with Simon so when I knocked, Zayn answered the door. I met all the boys that day and that’s why Zayn knows who I am. He gave me his phone number at the gym yesterday so I texted him. He said he wanted to hang out with me tomorrow, which according to yesterday really means today, if that makes sense. Anyway, so I accepted his offer. Today, I went to the studio to start working on my new song that I wrote. Well, Simon said he had a surprise for me, and it was to listen to One Direction’s new b-side track for their upcoming single ‘One Thing.’ Not only was I able to critique and talk to the boys, they critiqued my song. Surprisingly, they all liked it, including Simon. At the time, the song wasn’t complete. After all the time we spent in the studio, Zayn and I went to hang out at his favorite cafe a couple of blocks from the studio. Zayn actually helped me finish writing my song so now it’s complete. Zayn and I talked for a while, got to know each other, and yes it’s true, he’s really just a normal guy. After our hang out, he walked me home and then he kissed me. I was in shock, I never thought that moment would happen but it did. Then, once he entered the elevator at the end of the hallway, I came in to see you guys staring at me. That’s why everything has been so sketchy and secretive with me recently. It feels much better to honestly tell you girls everything that’s going on with me.”

I pause to look up and see all the girls’ faces. Each girl’s face was different but they all expressed the same emotion: shock.

“Ok, I’m done now.” I say.

I expected loads of screaming and questions after I said that, but it was surprisingly quiet. Maybe they were processing everything I just said? I assume that was the case because two minutes later, I hear all the screams and questions I expected.
