7. Warm

Sam's Pov

The next day came and went, I didn't move much from the couch, only to brush my teeth and pee. I couldn't shower, although I wanted to, I couldn't stand. I sighed at how useless I was. I couldn't do anything.

I ate some of the food she got me. Heated up some old soup and bread as I dragged myself around the place. My ankle hurt, I know I wasn't supposed to move and needed to rest but I couldn't stay still. So I started cleaning the mess. The broken glass, photo frames all on the floor, some blood on the carpet, and of course the dishes. I leaned tiredly against the fridge, sighing. One thing on my mind. Apologizing to Avery. I need to, she's been so nice and caring and I never thanked her for all that she has done.

I walked over to the phone. I don't even know if it's working. We never get calls. Mum and dad don't use it. I pick it up, it was beeping. I rejoiced internally. I dialled the operator to connect me to the coffee shop Avery worked at. I waited, biting on my lips, I was so nervous. What was I going to say? Shit.

*AN: Conversation below, A- Avery, R- Rose and S- Sam*

R- Hello, this is Rose from Little Cuppa, how may I help you?

S- Hello. Uhm, may I speak to Avery?

R- Aight, wait a moment, please.

I heard shuffling and someone calling Avery. My heart thundered. Oh, God. Please don't be mad. Please. I'm so sorry.

A- Hello, this is Avery.

I panicked.

A- Hello?

Shit. Shit.

A- Hello? Anyone there?

Say something, you idiot.

A- Hello, this is Avery.

She says again, confusion in her voice. I hear Jake in the background asking who that is.

A-Hello?

She tries again.

S- Hi.

I heard her take in a breath. I released mine.

A- Sam?

S- Yeah.

A- What's wrong?

My heart warmed, she does care.

S- I'm so sorry. I'm sorry Avery, I didn't mean to make you mad that day.

A- It's okay Sam. Don't worry about it.

S- No, but, you're nice and you wanted to help and I hurt you by wanting to leave without telling you. I'm sorry.

A- Hey it's okay, really. I'm not mad. I was just worried about you. Are you okay though? Do you have enough food? Is your ankle better?

S- I'm okay. And yes. It's better. But I'm still sorry.

A- Don't be sorry, it's fine. I'll come and see you later alright? Sorry I've been working.

S- Okay, no it's fine if you can't, I'm okay.

A- Oh hush, I'll be there at 6. See you then beanie girl.

S- Okay, bye Avery. Thank you.

A- No problem. Bye.

I placed the phone down and squealed. Oh, God. She's coming over. Now I'm so glad I cleaned the place. Wait, what about me? I didn't shower. God, I must smell horrid. No, she can't see me like this. Shit. I limped to the extra bedroom we had and found some deodorant and powder and a little perfume. I combed my hair, took a mint and went to the front. Two hours. She's gonna be here in two hours. Okay. I can wait. I turn the TV on and watch something which was there and then ate fruit and the crackers she got me.
