Forbidden Fruit ( Sam Pottorff )

Chapter 7

I dove straight to Jason's house after school and walked inside as if it were mine.
"Hey Melissa!" i yelled to Jasons mom as i ran upstairs.
"Hey Ree!" she called back as I made my way to Jason's room. When i entered, Jason was sprawled across his bed with headphones in and his eyes closed. I smiled a little as i heard him humming to himself to the tune of "Me and My Brokenheart.", one of hus favorite songs. Quickly, I ran over to him and jumped on his bed. He screamed at my sudden presence and fell off the bed.
"Damnit Ree!!" he groaned while pulling his headphones off."Next time...gimmie a heads up." he continued as he stood, towering feet above me.
"No thanks." i smiled i smiled and his blue eyes shone a bit brighter before he cleared his throat.
"Do you....want something?" he then asked as he walked to the door.
"I'm kinda thirsty." i hinted, pulling my knees up to my chest.
"That's what she said." Jason mumbled as he started out of the room.
"That is what I said!!"i shouted after him. When Jason had disappeared, I stood and walked around his room. Countless achedemic and sports awards hung from walls or sat on shelves. Then i opened up his closet and a book fell out, landing in front of my feet. 'Memories' was printed on the title and i carefully picked up the book, beginning to flip through the pages. Instantly i grinned, the album was a collection of things Jason and I had done together since we were kids. I giggled softly at a picture of us covered in spaghetti sauce as babies,but flipped to the back of the book and my smile grew even more. It was a picture of me and Jason at the beach in the ocean anf Jason was carrying me on guys shoulders.
"I miss that." a voice said from behind me, causing the book to fall from my hands and onto the floor.
"Jason you scared me!" i said aggrivated.
"Now we're even," he winked and set a bottle of Arizona on his desk for me. "Ree....do you feel like we're, i dont know, drifting apart?" he asked in a serious tone. I sighed, tuckig a strand of hair behind my ear.
"Jason...i come over here everyday. We hang out EVERYDAY."
"Yeah but you dont talk to me like you use to. I feel like.....I feel like im losing you." I rolled my eyes and shoved him playfully.
"You cant be serious. Im always here for you Jason. Ive just been busy with SOLs and now i have to dodge, Sam.."
"Dodge, Sam?" he questioned raising an eyebrow. i bit my lip realizing my mistake and knowing i would have to explain.
"Well uhmm.."
