"Knock! Knock! Knock!"
"Just a second!" I said before I put my bowl of popcorn down and hit the pause button on the TV remote. The only people I was expecting tonight were Allie and Dean, but they had a key, for when they were in town and I was in class, so I was curious to see who was at my door. I grabbed the gun from the end table and walked to the door.
"Hello—Sam!" I explained once I opened the door to find my first love, standing at my door holding a six pack of beer.
"I was wondering if, maybe, you wanted to hang out and maybe watch a movie. I brought the beer." Sam said as he lifted the beer.
"What are you doing here Sam?" I asked as I put the gun on the table, I usually put the mail on.
"Pizza and beer. I saw you in class and I actually realized that it was you, and I thought we could hang out." Sam explained quietly.
"Come on in, fair warning I'm expecting some people over later, but you're welcome to stay the night." I said as I let him in.
"Did I interrupt movie night or something?" Sam asked as he noticed the popcorn on the couch after he walked in.
"I was just watching Gilmore Girls and Smallville. Why did you decide to drop by now Sam, we haven't spoken since we were 16?" I stated as I turned Gilmore Girls off, secretly regretting that I wasn't able to see more of Rory's boyfriend, Dean.
"Look I'm sorry that we haven't talked since you left your dad for me, but I was stupid and scared that something like what happened to my mom would happen to you." Sam admitted shyly.
"Sam, I directly disobeyed my father, the only family I have left, to see and be with you, and you walked away. I was pushed away." I stated as I threw the TV remote down on to the couch.
"I know I disobeyed my father too and he watched me walk away. Why do you think I don't talk to him or Dean? I haven't spoken to either of them since I decided to leave and come here." Sam yelled as he put the beer on the table.
"That was because John didn't wan you to go to college! Mine didn't want me to see either you or Dean again. Given mine didn't tell me that if I walked out he door, never to come back. But you do have a brother who misses the hell out of you. You can call both of them, I can't call my dad!" I retaliated, holding back the tears that threatened to fall.
"How do you know what my dad said?" Sam asked with a shocked expression.
"Dean called me on my cell. He told me everything, in tears. I drove straight to the motel he was staying at, luckily in the same town I was living in at the time. Did you know that, I walked into Dean's motel room to see him with a gun pointed at his head? I had to tie him up until he was calm enough to explain." I explained as I wiped my eyes, as I remembered seeing Dean's hard as rock exterior, lying broken at my feet.
"Christina, I didn't mean to upset you. I'm sorry." Sam said, not realizing that he was reaching for me. I stepped away from him and looked away.
"I'm fine, why don't you pick a movie? I'll order the pizza." I suggested, motioning towards the movie cabinet by the t.v. Sam nodded and walked to the movie cabinet.
