'You are so puzzling to me'

Chapter One

Sam Carter grabbed her coat before exiting her house. It was a gorgeous morning- the sun emitting tiny rays from the partly clouded sky, but it was somewhat slightly cool. It was the time of year during the transition between summer and autumn- where the temperature would drop a small amount and leave you feeling chilled.

Sam had decided to take a walk to clear her head before heading to Cheyenne Mountain. She gently closed the front door behind her and satisfied in hearing the soft click, strode off in the direction of the park. The cool morning air brushed across her toes peeking out from underneath her sandals. The fresh air felt nice- it was relaxing, soothing. Something she desperately needed.

The last few months had taken their toll on her. She had strived to maintain control of the rollercoaster of emotions that overcame her- but she had lost the battle towards the end. The past weeks' events had been too overwhelming and she had been left with nothing in the end.

Sam neared the park bench, the one she had sat at most recently to try and resolve her unanswered questions-ones so simple yet complicated, and deep down she already knew the answers. She came here to think, to sort out her worries. But in some way, she would be more frustrated as to before she came, and she would leave feeling that she had failed, that she was alone again.

Sam eagerly sat down on the bench seat, lightly relieved she had reached her destination. She pulled her knees up to her chest and rested her head on her hands. She was lost in her thoughts- reliving the memories that flooded her mind.

'How could you have been so stupid Sam?' She questioned herself angrily. 'Why couldn't you have just left Pete? Why couldn't you have told Jack how you felt? You let him go Sam…how could you let him go?' Sam cried out in pain, a single tear flowing down her cheek in a silvery track.

'You lost everything, Sam. And now you're alone.'

I know! It was an absolutely horrible spot to end it, but I'll have more coming soon. Let me know if you'd like me to continue. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank you so much! Cheers:)
