Our Never Ending Love..// Sam Pottorff

Chapter 11

Laila's POV (1 month later)

Sam and I have been really distant toward each other lately. After he asked me out, it's like a sudden rush of awkwardness came over us. But, I made a new friend! She is probably the sweetest person, but every time I bring her around Sam, he gets this nasty attitude. I have tried so many times to talk to him about it, but it never helps. It's like that's what's causing the problems.

"Hey babe, double date tonight?" He gives me the cutest smile.

"Yeah, sure babe with who?" I was hoping he wouldn't ask, so I wouldn't have to tell him.

"Acacia and Bradley... but before you shut it down, here me o-"

"NO! YOU KNOW I CAN'T STAND HER!" he cuts me off sharply,

"Why not! What could she have possibly done to you! You are so quick to judge! I will just go alone or ask Ricky or Trevor to come" I left the room so fast, jumped in my car, and went home.

When I reached my room, my phone buzzed. I thought it was Sam, but when I read the name I saw it was from Trevor and Connor, Connor put us in a group message.

Trev: Hey what was with all the yelling? Are you okay?

Con: L! What's going on?

Me: Sorry I didn't mean to freak y'all out, Sam and I just got in an argument...

Con: He was pretty mad when you left.

Trev: He was a little steamy, I left the minute he started slamming doors!

Me: He doesn't like one of my friends, she asked if we could go on a double date with Sam and me. I was all for it, but he freaked out. He really hates her and I don't know why!

Con: I'm on my way over, you meeting us or not Trevor?

Trev: No, mom and I just pulled into Chipotle!!!

Me: okay, see ya soon! And LOL Trev! Bring me some!!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------

I set my phone down and made myself some bacon. I don't know why, but I had a sudden crave for bacon.

I hear the door, put my food down, and get the door. "CONNOR!" I don't really know why he came over, but I didn't mind. "I've come bearing food!!!" I see Whataburger in his hand, and if anyone knows the way to my heart or an amazing friendship, you bring me Whataburger!

"You really know how to make me feel better!" He comes into the living room and sets the food down. I grab some pull out tables and take a seat. He gives me that look where, I know you're pissed, and I'm going to make you tell me what happened, whether you like it or not.

I begin to explain what happened, everything. From the minute we got together, to now. He is a great listener and advice giver. I get to the part, where I met Acacia, and he gives me wild eyes.

"What? Do you hate her too?" I look at him and I can feel the smoke coming out of ears.

"No, well maybe, but Sam has never mentioned Acacia before?" Connor's tone gives me this feeling like I shouldn't trust Acacia anymore, and that Sam had a right to be annoyed.

"Sam and Acacia... they d-dated, a while ago and it didn't end well. She broke his heart." He looks down and I sigh in guilt. All Sam wanted to do was keep me away from her, but why didn't he tell me? Connor leans in and gives me the biggest bear hug ever. "Can you take me back to Sam's, I can't drive this late?" He nods and we go on our way.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I text Acacia and rain check our plans for tonight. "You honestly had no clue they dated?" He asks.

"No, I wish he would have told me earlier, and we could have avoided this whole thing."

"I think he was trying to keep his ugly past relationship, away from you. Like a fresh start, ya know?" Connor is so sweet, his girlfriend is so lucky she found a good guy.

He pulls into the driveway, I hug him and say thank you and goodnight. I ring the doorbell... I begin to think, what if he shuts the door in my face. The door opens, SHIT. I see a tall frame boy, thank god it's Kian.

He pulls me into a hug and points upstairs. I make my way up and stop at his door. I knock, the door cracks open. He peeks his head out and his face softens, his door opens all the way. He puts his finger under my chin, and kisses me.

Sam could drive me insane, but this boys, knows all the tricks to hook a girl. "I'm sorry" we both say at the same time. I giggle, and he smiles. "Listen, I know about Acacia, and I really want to know what happened." He nods and pulls me to his bed.

"Sooo...

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Sam's POV

When Laila mentioned Acacia's name I cringed, but she said she knew what happened. That's why I kept it from her, I wanted a new start with someone who didn't know about my past relationships. She knew about Em, well she knew the end of Em and I.

"Sooo..." I wanted to hear what she knew and what her opinion on the subject. "I just know that you two dated and she broke your heart. I'm not going to make you tell me, because it is obviously a touchy subject, but... I-" she said that so fast I could barely understand her.

I appreciate her letting my keep some privacy, but I think it's time I tell her what happened.

"Well we started dating our freshmen year. I really thought I was going to marry her. She was so sweet and all she wanted was my love and affection, so I thought... Well in the second semester of school, she acted so different. Her and her whole family went to New York, I hadn't seen for about 3 weeks. So when school started up again, she couldn't seem to get off the phone. She would cancel dates, blow off my calls and texts, and visited her grandparents like every weekend." I could see her eyes soften while I spoke. I could feel her pity, that's the last thing I wanted. I continued with the story, and slowly got to the worst part.

"One day she left her stuff in my truck, I had called about 1 trillion times, and texted double that. She replied telling me she had tons of homework and would be by to pick it up later. I thought I would surprise her with Starbucks and cupcakes. When I got home, her brother let me in, but I caught this vibe, and he patted me on the back. I went upstairs and when I opened the door, I saw her straddling this guy's lap. Turns out she met him back in New York, and he just so happened to be from here. She had been cheating on me for about, 2 months." I could feel my ears flame up, and I balled my fists.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Laila's POV

When Sam finished his story, I put the pieces together. Acacia only wanted to hangout if I invited Sam, she always asked how our relationship was going and if things were okay. I thought she genuinely cared. I feel so used, like the only reason she talked to me was to get close to MY boyfriend. I don't hate her, I just want to end our friendship.

"Sammy, baby you didn't deserve that. I am lucky just to have you in my life. I get it, and I will never speak to some slut like that. I love you and your all that matters to me, Okay baby?" His eyes go wild, I think back to what I said. Oh shit, I just said, I LOVE YOU!

Poor Sam! Okay this story is completely different from the real life story. It's a fiction, so yeah!
