When the Cameras Off and the Paint Has Dried

-Chapter 9-

Hannah's P.O.V

It has been a couple days since Sam has posted the video. Most of the fans were supportive, others not so much. They wrote horrible comments.

'He could have done so much better'

'He could have had me'

'What did she do that made her better than others'

And many more.

All of them hurt, but one, stuck to me. I had opened my phone getting another notification about his Twitter post about the video. The comment stood out to me like a sunflower in a patch of Roses.

'7 years?! I wouldn't even spend 7 minutes with her'

I curled up into a ball on the cold wood flooring in the living room I had sat down in. I brought my knees to my chest.

"They're right. Why would anyone want to spend that time with me." I softly whisper. I started to cry. Quiet so Sam couldn't hear me.

Sniffling I wiped my eyes, "Why am I this emotional about this?" I kept in the ball not moving until I heard someone walk in.

Quickly I wiped my eyes and stood up. Hiding the small phone before Sam could see.

"What happened?" He walked closer to me and tried to hug me. I'm guessing he seen the phone. "What did it say."

"I-It's nothing Sam."

He snuck his arm behind me and took the phone. I tried to reach for it but he wouldn't let me. I could see the disappointment, with rage mix in his eyes.

"Sam. Please."

He put the phone down. Going to his own. "Sam! Just leave it okay." I started to cry again.

"No! I won't leave it! You are the best thing that's happened to me and these people want to insult you! I won't let it keep going! I chose you and only you!"

I had took a step back when he began yelling. Not knowing what to do I stood silent, placing my hand on my stomach.

"Hannah, I-I'm sorry for yelling." Stepping to me. Holding my waist, "I just hate that they think this of you." He softly kissed my lips. "I love you so much."

I moved my hands to cup his cheeks, "I love you too Sammy."

Bringing me into a kiss he held me there. Rubbing my back and whispering words of assurance. Sighing I hugged him. Nuzzling my nose into his chest.

"Let's go out," He kisses my cheek, "Just to get ice cream or something you want."

I smiled up at him and nodded. "Okay. I'll go get dressed"

I made my way to our bedroom from the living room. I walked into the nice sized closet and picked out a gray tank top on with some jeans.

Pulling them on I turned to see Sam smiling at me.

"What?" I asked putting my hair into a messy braid.

"Nothing." He chuckled. Taking my hand and going outside to the truck.

Once Sam had started the drive I got a text from Cas.

Cas: Are you still going to tell him tonight?

Me: Yea. We are out now. I'm going to ask him to stop at some stores. Are you two still coming over?
