"Its mom. Samantha said as she looked at the message.
What is taking so long!?
"She wants to know what's taking us so long." She added biting her lips.
"Oh" Tyler said as he took a step back. By then the rain had just stopped.
" What should I say?"
"Tell her we'll be there in few."
"Okay."
" So... What just happended?" He then asked rubbing the back if his head.
"I-um, we, we um. Well it appears that we just we... um uk..." she tried saying.
"Well what does this mean?" He asked.
"Tyler i think I'm still in love with you..."
"I think I'm still in love with you too." He told her.
She smiled but a frown took over her face the minute she remembered Kathy.
"But what about Kathy?" She spoke up.
"Well i guess we'll have to tell her. Or else none of us will ever be happy." He stated.
"Your right. God, she'll hate me." She said.
"Yeah she's gonna kill me!" He replied.
Then her phone rang.
"Its mom"
"Hey mom what's up?" She said trying to sound as calm as possible.
"Samantha I need you to come home now! It's an emergency!" She exclaimed through the phone.
"Wait, wait, wait slow down. What's going on?"
Tyler gave her a questioning look. She shook her head letting him know that she doesnt what's wrong.
"Just hurry up okay!" Her mom said through the phone.
"Okay okay we're on our way." Samantha said.
"What's the matter?" Tyler asked when she got off the phone.
"She said to hurry up its an emergency."

They arrived at the hotel. Mitchell texted them saying that everyone is waiting for them at the pool side.

" What's going on guys?" Samantha asked. Everyone was gathered together. She began to worry.
"Kathy's missing." Cloe said.
"What!?" She exclaimed.
"What do you mean?" Tyler said.
"She left a note saying she needs to be alone Mitchell said. Kathy's parents are very disturbed.
"Her mom and dad were at the police station." Samantha's dad put in.
"Okay um... Well we-we should try looking for her or something!" Samantha yelled.
"That's was I'm thinking." Tyler's mom said.
"Okay then samantha and I will go with my car." Tyler said.

<3 <3 <3 <3

"Where could she possibly be tyler I'm getting worried." Samantha said as they were driving.
"I dont know. She said she wants to be alone. Why would she want that?" He replied
"You dont think that somehow she found out about u-us?" She swallowed.
Tyler didnt say anything.
"Well? Do you?" She asked again.
"No, how could she?" He replied.
"Wait! I know i place where she might be!" Samantha said suddenly.
"There was an old farm house behind my house. Evertime she would come to visit when we were kids she would always go there. She said that it helped her relax!" She explained.
"Okay then lets check there." Tyler said.
"Yeah its worth a try." She repiled
"But we have hurry its getting dark." He said.
"I know. Lets go." She told him.

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3

"Kathy! Are you in here?" Samantha yelled as she pushed the door if the farmhouse open. It was dark. The only source of light was through a window at the top and it was already almist dark outside. The air was filled with dust.
"Kathy!" Tyler yelled.
Then kathy appeared from behind some haystacks.
"Kathy! Oh my God!" Samantha breathed as she rushed over and threw her arms around her.
"Thank god!" Tyler said.
"What are you doing here? Everyone is worried sick about you!" He yelled.
"Yeah kat, and that note you left saying you needed to be alone, what did that mean?" Samantha questioned.
"Were you and tyler together in highschool?" Kathy blurted out.

Oh no! No no no! Just keep calm.
Samantha thought ti herself.

"Kathy where is this coming from?" Tyler questioned.
"Just answer the question." Kathy stated.
Tyler and Samantha looked at eachother.
"We were going to tell you," Samantha started off.
"So its true." Kathy shrugged.
"How did you find out about this?" Samantha asked.
"You're friend liz, I overheard her talking to some Alex over the phone."
"Alex kindle?" Tyler said.
"Yeah do you know him?" Kathy asked
"He was Tyler's best friend in highschool." Samantha said.
"Yeah well i heard her tell him that you two clearly still love eachother and that you told her you might have feelings for tyler!?" Kathy half yelled half said.
"When did you hear this kathy?" Tyler asked.
"Does it even matter tyler?" Kathy replied.
"Well, do you!?" She looked at Samantha.
"Kathy-" samantha began.
"Tell me its not true sammie!" Kathy practically broke down.
Samantha didnt say anthing. Neither did tyler.
"Tell me!" She yelled crying.
"You dont! You said that you barely even knew him!" She cried and dropped to the floor.
" Tyler! You dont- you dont love her do you!?" She yelled at him.
"Kathy calm down." Samantha said.
"Dont you dare tell me to calm down samantha! This is why you act like you didn't like him! So my mind would be broken from him, and you could have him all to yourself!" She yelled.
"Was he the one that broke your heart?" She asked crying.
"Answer me! Somebody answer me!" She yelled.
"No! No kathy!" Samantha finally said. Holding in her own tears.
"Tyler and i dont love eachother! We were together for a short time in highschool. We broke up! We werent compatible. And he wasnt the one that broke my heart. And liz is always like that! She doesnt know what she's talking about. I told her that I, that I care for tyler. I dont love him! I'll call her! She'll tell you that she was just teasing or something!" Samantha frantically explained.
"Right tyler?" She glared at him.
"She's telling the truth right ty!" Kathy said wiping her tears.
Tyler looked at Samantha one more time. She could tell he was pissed. He wanted to hurt Samantha now.
"Yes kathy i only love you." He stated.
His words hurt Samantha like knives.
She wanted to cry more than ever but seeing kathly like that. Loosing Kathy's trust was too hard for her. And seeing kathy so weak and vurnerable scared her. She could even hurt herself or something. She couldnt take that chance.

"Do you really mean it?" Kathy asked.
He looked over at Samantha again, with questioning eyes.
She nodded. He was so very angry at her. But he stayed quiet. He didnt say anything. Tyler was just as stubborn samantha.
If she doesnt want us to be together, if she doesnt care who I'm with, then to hell with you samantha. There will never be anything between us and I will make sure that it hurts you the most. He thought to himself silently.

Kathy ran and threw her arms around him. He hugged her. But his eyes were only on samantha. He gave her an angry glance. He could see her look away in pain. She turned her head around, closed her eyes and bit her lips hoping that the pain would go away and the tears would stop.

<3 <3 <3 <3

The drive back was incredibly awkward. No one said a word. Tyler and kathy were in front seats and samantha sat it the back. It had already gotten dark by then. The light night time breeze that flowed throught the car calmed her nerves a bit. But she only wished they could take away her feelings. By the time they got home, everyone was in Kathy's room waiting for her to come home. Tyler called and informed them that they found her and that she was okay.
"My god kathy! What happended!" Her mother exclaimed. Right after she gave her a big hug.
"Kathy Arora Jones!" Her father yelled.
"Im sorry dad." She said
"Where on earth were you?" Samantha's mom jumped in.
"More importantly kathy why did you want to be alone?" Tyler's mom asked.
"Well I-I just I wanted some um time to process everything, its all happening so fast." She lied. She didnt want anymore complications to come about so she told samantha and tyler that they would keep it between them.
"Oh its okay kathy. We understand." Cloe put in.
"Ive had a long day." Kathy said. "If you'll excuse me I would like to get a little sleep." She added.
Everyone left. "Samantha and tyler please wait." She called.
"Close the door." She instructed
Samantha nodded and closed the door.
"Call liz. I wanna know why she said that." Kathy stated.
"Kat you dont have to-" tyler began but was cut off by kathy.
"Actually tyler i do." She said.
" Samantha." She said.
"Okay give me second." Samantha replied.
"Liz? Isnt it true that in highschool tyler and i werent a big a deal. That our relationship only lasted a few weeks." Samantha said trying to hint to liz what to say.
"Sam what are talking about? You know how close you guys were." Liz said over the phone.
"Exactly liz, tell kathy" samantha repeated.
"Tell her when she overheard you, you were just playing a prank like you told me." Samantha continued
"Oh i get it. Okay." Liz said.
Samantha handed the phone to Kathy. "Kathy i dont know what you heard but it was all a joke. Im sure you heard when i said that i wished it would have worked out between them but it never did cuz they didnt love eachother." Liz lied.
"No i guess i left before you could you finish what you were saying." Kathy said.
"I think so." Said liz
"Okay then well, please come to the wedding." Kathy said amd hung up.

"Here." She said and passed samantha her phone.
"Now excuse us. My ty and i have some things we need to catch up on." She said.
"Dont we tyler?"
"Yes we do." He replied. And leaned in to kiss kathy. He looked at Samantha feeling hurt. It gave him satisfaction.
Samantha left the room.

Later that night around 10pm

Samantha was tired and confused. She went for a long walk by the beach to calm her mind, only to find tyler there sitting down on the sand looking at the shore.

As she approached him, be looked up at her.
He got up and was about to leave.
"Wait." She called
He turned around.
"Why are you behaving like this tyler?"
"You're not seriously asking me that Samantha."
"Yes. You're acting like nothing happened." She said.
"Oh I'm sorry. But weren't you the one explaining to kathy how our relationship was nothing." He snapped.
"Im sorry tyler!" She began.
"I couldn't see her like that!" Samantha said.
"You-you. dont how she is! She would be devastated." She explained.
" You know what, I don't care!" He yelled. "If you dont care samantha i dont either! To. Hell. With you." He added in a cold tone.
"Tyler-" she began.
"Dont." He said.
She could literally see the hurt in his eyes.
"Im sorry." She said, tears rolling down her cheeks.
He scoffed and walked away.
