So...This is High School

To Forgive...Or Not

Sam's POV

Paige and I finished cleaning up the science lab and were about to head to the cafeteria when a certain person said my name.

"Sam. Can we talk?" I stopped in my tracks hoping that I was imagining things. I figured I wasn't since Paige nunged me in my ribs. I turned around with my head downwards.

"Please." He pleaded. I really didn't want to but it's not like I could duck this conversation forever. Paige said she'll cover for me and left me in the hallway with him.

"What do you want Nick?" I said meaning to come off like a command but just sounding like a mere whisper.

He stepped forward and I stepped away. He picked up on the fact that I didn't want to be near him and started to talk. Prior to that he looked around to see if anyone was around to hear our conversation.

"Your still ignoring me Sam. You said you needed time it's been a year" I tried to ignore the pain in his voice but I failed. Brooke's voice ringed in my ears" My brother is an idiot!Take all the time you want....a year even!"

"You told me take as much time as I need. I also dont think your in the place to be rushing me since you caused this breakup for yourself. " I said all this whilst my head was still looking at the ground like something interesting was going on down there. Suddenly, Nick moved close to me without me noticing.

"I'm sorry I ruined us. All I want is for you to forgive me please."he cried. I didn't know what to say. For the past year I've been trying to forget that day but all the memories just came flushing back in.

•••FLASHBACK(1 year ago)•••

I couldn't believe what I was looking at. How could he do this. Things were going great despite all the little bickers we had. I couldn't control the tears that came running down my face.

The next day he came to my house.

"Sam -" but he didn't get a chance to finish. I dont think I ever felt such hatred for a person as I did now.

"How could you! All those moments with us didn't matter. All those times you told me Rachel was nothing. That she was just some girl that like you and bothered me because she was jealous." I shouted.

The tears that were once brimming my eyes were falling fast. My heart was hurting, it felt like I was being stabbed continuously. I dropped to the floor not being able to hold myself up anymore.

"Sammy I'm sorry -"

"DON'T! Dont you dare call me that name. I gave it to the Nick who didn't care what others said. The Nick who was honest, kind ,loving" - I croaked - " To the Nick I love! Your not that Nick anymore. Get out." He stood still as I got up off the ground.

You know when they say you go through the stages of a breakup...I was at the anger stage. Cuz' I was pissed.

•••FLASHBACK OVER(present time)•••

I felt my heart break again just by thinking about it.

"I'm sorry. I cant forgive you. I can't forgive the fact that you used your drunken state as an excuse to avoid the fact that you kissed her. Also as if it couldn't get any worse weeks later you two were dating. So I said it once and I'll say it again, you caused this problem....deal with it!"

I walked away feeling broken yet free. I've been keeping that in for a whole year and now I'm free.

Damn it feels kinda good.

Helllooooooo!!! If your wondering why this is Sam's POV its because the books about the three girls (Brooke, Sam, Paige). Therefore later on in the book you will get Paige's POV. Exams are coming up so......😭
