𝐒𝐀𝐌, never his.

SAM'S HEART WAS BROKEN. The sight of you crying in front of him was enough to make him want nothing but to hold you, kiss you, take care of you in the way you deserved it. But he couldn't, he couldn't let you know that he was completely and helplessly in love with you. After all, you were crying right now because of another boy. His eldest brother, of all the boys in the world. And he hated that, he hated that you chose his brother over him, but there was nothing he could do about it. You were his best friend, since you were both babies, you would never see him in another way. And that killed him.

"I don't even exist to him, Sam." Your sniffles brought him out of his thoughts, his vague eyes finding your puffy ones. "I'm such a stupid, stupid girl."

His arms instantly wrapped around you, his head shaking away your words. "You're not stupid, stop saying that."

"Yes, I am." You sniffled again, burying your face into Sam's warm chest. "Why did I think I could ever be enough for him?"

As those words left your mouth, Sam felt like his heart was stumped on. For him to know you thought that about yourself made him want to protect you even more from everything. He wanted to shower you with love, show you what you really deserved. But he was never brave enough to do so. Instead, he took your face into his hands wiping away your tears, and forcing you to look at him.

"Don't you ever say that again, you hear me?" His voice was soft and his eyes were filled with love. "You're an amazing, independent, gorgeous girl. Your personality is so unique and captivating. There's not a single moment of boredom with you because you're always the life of the party." He shook you a little, making you crack the smallest of smiles. "And your smile... Your smile can light up every room and make anyone's day better." His voice went lower, his eyes drifting to your lips for a second as he looked at you like he was in a dream. Your smile grew bigger and he composed himself, coughing a little and removing his hands from your face. He wouldn't be able to stop himself if he held you that closer for another second. "What I mean is that anyone who doesn't see what an amazing person you are is a fucking asshole."

You let out a loud laugh, his chest growing heavier with love as you threw your head back. "You're saying Jake is a fucking asshole?" You questioned him with raised eyebrows.

"Yeah, he is." Was his response, along with a shrug from his shoulders. You chuckled lightly, wiping the remaining tears that stained your face.

"Thank you, Sammy." You said truthfully, placing a small kiss on his cheek. "Yeah, I guess there's no point in keep wanting someone who doesn't even notice me."

Sam smiled, nodding at you. "Exactly. Jake isn't the only boy in the world." He became nervous once you eyed him, considering his words. You nodded slowly as he chewed on his bottom lip, anxious for what your next words would be. Sam wanted you to say you didn't want any boy in the world, you wanted him. He wanted you to pick him, love him. But those weren't the words that came out of your mouth.

"You're always so right and that's why you're the best friend in the world!" You pulled him into a tight hug, but your touch only made him sad. Best friend. That's all he was ever going to be for you.

You were never going to pick him. You were never going to love him in the same way he loved you. You were always going to be someone else's, never his. And as much as it killed him, he'd just have to learn how to live with that.
