Forbidden Fruit ( Sam Pottorff )

Chapter 4

I didn't sleep much that night. Everytime that I closed my eyes, I would feel Sam's hands grippig me tightly and leaving marks all over my body. Knowing that it was hopeless to try to sleep, I called Jason at 1 am. I was in tears which immediatley made him get out of bed and come over to my place. Jason climbed up through my window like he did all the time, and snuggled up next to me in bed. We talked for what seemed like hours about everything we could, until I finally drifted to sleep.

When I woke up the first thing i noticed was Jason's absence. Also i noticed that my Arizona was empty causing me to grumble to myself and make a note to hit Jason for drinking it all. But today was another day and i had to go on......with or without my tea. So i got dressed and said goodbye to my parents before exiting the tiny house and making my way to my car. I opened the glove compartment where i kelt my keys......but they werent there. I instantly frowned and started searching through my backpack.
"Shit." i hissed when i couldnt find them.
"Looking for these?" A low voice said from behind me, sounding amused. I looked in the mirror and my blood ran cold. Sam was staring back at me, waving the keys in front of his face with a Youre-stupid-for-leaving-these-in-the-car kinda look. I screamed, opening my door and sprinting out of the car..not bothering to look back. I heard footfalls behind me, coming closer to me. Then, suddenly i felt a hard tug at my back and i fell backwards onto my butt and started coughing violently.
"Never run away.......especially when your wearing a hoodie." Sam chuckled as he crouched in front of me. I never had felt fear as strong as i was feeling when Sam was near. i was terrified....for my life.
"What do you want?" I groaned and pushed myself back, putting space between the two of us. He shook his head at my actions and grabbed my ankle, yanking me back to him.
"Rule 1: Dont try to get away. Ill always catch you." he stated and pulled me to my feet.
"Please," I begged. "Leave me alone. I have to get to school....I-I'll be la-" he slammed me against the tree mid-sentence causing me to scream.
"Shut.Up." he growled in my ear, sending a shiver up my spine. "I want you right here....right now." he whispered and nibbled at my earlobe. Without thinking i shoved him off of me, catching him off guard. Sam quickly collected himself and charged at me. He grabbed my wrists and pinned me even harder against the tree. "Fuck you," he spat. "Bitch, I shouldnt even waste my time trying to help you."
"Then why are you here?" I asked feeling tears begin to flow. "Why do you bother trying when I dont want your 'help'!!" I screamed. And for the first time.....I saw sadness behind his cold, emotionless eyes.
"I'm helping you because you need me, Ree. The geeks you hang out with won't get you anywhere." he chuckled. I clenched my fists at the mention of my friends.
"My friends arent geeks!! I'd be better off with them instead of y-"
"YOU FUCKING NEED ME!" Sam exploded, squeezing my wrists ven harder causing me to writhe in pain. "I'm not going to stop, Ree. You need to realize that you need me." he mumbled. I was then surprised when he kissed me on the cheek and walked away.
"The keys are in the car!" he called over his shoulder. I stood there, watching him for a minute as he walked away, fists clenched at his sides.I felt a strange feeling for the first time ever.....it was as if, Sam's presence excited me a bit.
"He is bad for you." I reminded myself as I got into the car. As if to emphasize my words, blackish-blue bruises began to appear on my arms.
