Samuel Emerson One Shots

Porch Promises

I sat on my porch, the old splintering wood pressing against my jeans in some places. My legs up on the porch steps my back against the stone wall. The sound of crickets in the quiet. The hum of the light by the door as it flickered and attracted bugs. The unearthly quiet broken only by my dad's drunk yelling from inside.
I held my comic doing my best to read it give the pain I was in.
"Hi Sam" I a voice smiled, I looked up and saw y/n from down the street
"Hi" I smiled to her
"What's up?" She asked
"Usual" I shrugged
"What happened to your face?" She asks as she came closer sitting with me so I moved making space for her
"It's nothing really," I told her trying to push her hand away as she tried to see 

"Sam Please let me look," she says
so I sighed and let her see my eye she looked shocked and a little broken-hearted

"It's not as bad as it looks I swear" I lied 

"Did Your dad so this?" she asks and I nodded "Then what are you still doing here?"

"Where else am I gonna go y/n?" I sighed

"Sammy... you silly boy" she smiled sitting on my lap putting my comic away wrapping my arms around her waist and putting her on my neck as she nuzzled into my chest "You could always come to stay with me," she says softly after a while

"I can't sleep on your sofa forever," I told her resting my head on hers pressing my lips against her skin a little as I rested there 

"Then come sleep in my bed" she offers "Come nuzzle at the foot of my bed" she smiled sitting up a little giving my nose a little kiss 

"As much as I want to... you know I can't" 

"why not? its got to be better than here" she says 

"I can't y/n... my brother, My dad-" I began

"Your dad did this to you, your brothers hardly here anymore" she argued "Sam... I can't let you stay here if your not safe" she says 

"I'll be fine..." I told her "and if something happens again... I'll come home with you" I smiled

"You said that last time" she sighed 

"I mean it this time, I really do" 

"Its a little hard to believe you," she says

"I Promise y/n, I promise if it happens again I'll be coming home with you... with all my stuff" I told her "I swear... On JR" I told her putting my hand on her tummy 

"You have to come home soon... I'll be showing soon" she laughs "You haven't told them have you?"

"no... not yet, not right now y/n, soon I'll tell them I'm going, and either way I'll be coming to live with you no matter what they say" I told her kissing her sweet lips.
