This is my response to Spuffy4Eva's PickingSides Challenge :) I hope you guys enjoy it.

(PS. They're OOC in the prologue but not in the whole story. I just have to make sure that this builds up the story. So don't worry they're gonna be as in character as they will be on future chapters)

Prologue

"I can't believe you sided with her!" I shouted at him, throwing the closest thing at me, which was a couch pillow. 'I'm your girlfriend! You're supposed to side with me!"

We were standing in the middle of my apartment. Being 18 and in college has its perks. One of them is that I don't have to live with my mom anymore. Yeah, yeah, I know what you're thinking. I managed to straighten myself up enough to get into a somewhat good college here in Seattle.

But that's beside the point right now…

"You being my girlfriend doesn't me I have to side with you!" He shouted back, obviously pissed.

"Yes it does!" I was holding back tears now.

"No it doesn't!" he roared. "It's your fault Sam! It always is! Why would I side with you if that's so?! It's unfair to Carly!"

At these words I couldn't hold back my tears anymore. I ducked my head so he wouldn't be able to see my face.

"You still love her… we've been dating for 3 months and you still love her…" I whispered in a broken tone, trying to make sure that the pain wasn't evident in my voice.

"Nobody said that Sam." He said with annoyance evident in his voice.

"Nobody had to." I chuckled darkly. "You would listen to what she would say. Always accepting as it's the truth. This fight Freddie?? You haven't even asked for my side to it. Not once. You just accepted Carly's side as the honest truth and what exactly happened." I sighed and turned around, so that my back was facing him. My tears were flowing so fast that it's hard to hide anymore.

"Just leave Freddie." My voice cracked vulnerably in the end. "Please. Just leave."

I was just met with silence. But I could hear his footsteps approaching the door.

I sighed. "Leave your keys." I whispered. At my words I heard him freeze.

"Sam… I'm sor-"

I couldn't handle this. I cant handle his bipolar decisions. I can't handle his apologies. "Just leave!" I shouted at him, turning around and throwing another pillow at him.

He just stood there, looking at me. I probably looked horrible. My eyes were glistening with tears and tear tracks were evident on my face.

"Please." I choked out.

He just nodded grimly, finally accepting the fact that I didn't want to be around his presence anymore.

He placed his copy of my key on the counter and left, closing the door behind him.

After a few minutes of frozen silence and agonized sob ripped through me. I fell into the floor sobbing.

If only he knew…
