Sams P.O.V

The wind blows my hair as the feeling of falling takes over. I feel a hand rap around my wrist and I realize I hadn't even made the move to fall.

"What do you want Taylor!" I cry and turn to look at her but it wasn't Taylor. Emma, Emma is holding me here.

"Emma?" I say looking surprised.

"Yeah thats my name last time I checked, not Taylor. How about you come down." She said chuckling a little.

"Why? Whats the point, so I can go home?" I asked and looked away, I had turned my body to her.

"What do you meen? Don't you want to go home after working all day?" She asked "just come down and we can talk"

I don't know why but I got down. I looked up at Emma. "I know we haven't talked much but tell my why you were up there." She pleaded. Something about her, I want to tell her. I can leave some parts out though, parts nobody will ever know.

"I was trying to forget" I muttered. She slid her hands down my arms and into my hands. "Forget what?" I bit my lip, what should I tell her. I shouldn't have said anything.

"What happened at the office and..
" I hesitated and Emma cought it. "And?" She encouraged. It wasn't in a forcing way but friendly way?

"And Taylor" I put my head down, I feel stupid. What kind of idiot falls for someone they just met and thats their same sex.

"Ms. Swift? What about her." I hesitated. "Can we sit down?" I asked her, feeling weak. We sit on the side walk and I look up at the sky.

"Can I trust you emma?" I asked, I want to talk to someone and I don't care anymore at this point. Every part of my body is broken, I'm broken.  The world doesn't need broken "Of course" she encourages not rushing me. I let out a shaky sigh.

"The night of the party he.." "Carter?" She asked probably to understand the story.

"I guess if thats his name. Carter came or followed, I don't know. Anyway he was with me when I went to the restrooms. I tried to ignore him but he pished me against the wall." I said swallowing and biting my lip. She just hums to let me know she is listening.

"Before he could do anything Taylor came. I was so scared, I-i couldn't move. She took me to her home that night because I begged her not to make me go home. Since then crazy events happen and we keep spending time together after work hours. I-" I stopped cutting myself off. Feeling tears fall down my face.

I look at Emma and find her looking at me, her eyes glossy. I let out shaky breaths.

"I've never thought about liking other people for most of my life. I was seen as the wierd girl and I lived my life like that. When I started hanging around Taylor she made me feel something I haven't felt in a long time.." I stop trying to catch my breath.

"Do you like her?" She asked and bit her lip. "do you like girls?"

"Is that ok? To like her" I whisper not understanding it. Emma takes my hand and intertwined our fingers.

"Of course! Sam if you'regay that is ok. Don't ever feel its not" She firmly said and I turn away my face heating up.

"I don't understand it. How I feel or what it means." Emma squeezed my hand, it feels wierd holding her hand. Not because I don't like it it just doesn't bring me happiness. "Tell me about how being around her makes you feel and I can try and help you understand" I nod.
