Sam's POV

I was fighting the urge to cry as I let myself into the Shay's apartment.

"Carls!" I shout. But instead of Carly appearing, Spencer comes rushing down the stairs. God, how I wanted his arms to be wrapped around me right now. I couldn't believe how much I wanted to kiss him.

"Hey, Kiddo! Carls is at her granddad's for the week, she wants to see him before she leaves for college week after next. But is there anything I can do for you?" He smiled at me and I could see he was a bit concerned.

"Well, I dunno Spence, if I tell you something will you promise not to laugh at me?"

"Deal!" He said, a mix of concern and curiosity in his deep brown eyes. I walked over to the couch and sat down and he followed suit sitting closer to me than normal.

"Well, my boyfriend just dumped me," I said again fighting the overwhelming urge to just break down and cry.

"Sam, why would I laugh at you for that?" his eyes were filled with sympathy and a little something else I couldn't identify…

"Can I cry?" I ask.

"Come here," he says, his arms extended towards me. I fell into them gladly and just enjoyed the sensation of being held, and just letting it all go, after years of holding it in I finally let it all out. I cried.

Spencer's POV

I ran my fingers soothingly through Sam's mess of blonde curls. I was shocked and awed by the scene in front of me. Sam Pucket was sobbing into my chest. Sam Pucket! I lifted her face up and wiped the tears from her beautiful blue eyes. Wait, wait, did I just say beautiful? For crying out loud, she was only 19, and I'm 31! I fell like such a dirty old man, thinking of my little sister's best friend the way I have since the day I met her. And besides, she would never ever feel the same about me. I layed her head back on my chest and rubbed her back as she cried. I couldn't believe any boy could do this to such a beautiful young woman. Sure, she didn't act all ladylike all the time, and she was a bit immature at times, but who couldn't love her? She was the best thing that had ever happened to him, the turning point in his life. Surely she was put into his life for a reason, right?

Sam's POV

I look into Spencer's eyes, they are one of the most gorgeous pair of eyes I've ever seen. I want to kiss him so badly right now, but I fear rejection, after all he is my best friend's older brother. In a way he was kinda like a dad to me, but in most ways he wasn't. Right now, as he held me, I didn't care that he was 12 years older than me, I didn't care what society thought. I love him and that is all that really matters. He's perfect, he's everything I've ever looked for, but most importantly, he's Spencer. So I lean my face towards his, all fear vanished from my mind, and I kiss him.
