Oh my gosh, finally! I got this chapter out.
So, as you can tell, I haven't uploaded in like a month.
Well, I decided to post the 1st chapter the day before school decided to pile up.
And then, my computer stopped connecting to the internet.
I hope I can upload frequently now.
Well, enjoy!
(And I did Le Spellcheck on the last chapter.)

Midori's POV
Ring, Ring!
"Five more minutes mom..." I mumbled.
Ring, Ring!
"Ugh..." I opened my eyes. There was a whole bunch of food on my body. "I must of been stress eating again..." I got up and all the food fell on the ground. Seriously?
I looked to see were the ringing was coming from. It was my phone. I picked it up and answered. "Hello?" I said, taking the food off my body. "Hey, Midori? It's Levi! How's it hanging?" He asked. "Meh..." I replied. "Meh? What's that supposed to mean?"
"Sammy isn't exactly... herself. "
"Really? She just called me yesterday sounding like her old self."
"She called you? Why?"
"She said, 'Hi, this is Sammy. I was just wondering if you can come hang? You can? Be here tomorrow, okay? Okay.' And then she hung up."
"Sammy did that?" I paused. Why would she call Levi?
"Also, I'm coming over right now. I'll see you in a bit." He said "Okay. See you later." I turned off the phone.
I thought for a bit. How did she even get Levi's number? How does she know how to work phone?
I was really trying to think how that could work, but then the door swung open from Sammy's room. She was cheerful and walked to me. "How's it going?" She said happily.
"You called Levi?" I said. "He told you? He was supposed to keep it a secret..." She looked bummed out. "Why did you call Levi?" I didn't care that it was a supposed to be secret. I needed answers. "I just wanted you guys to feel better. I thought maybe reuniting you with a friend can make you happy."
Aw... that's sweet. "Sammy, that's nice, but I'd rather not-" Ding, Dong! "There he is!" Sammy said. She walked over to the door. "Hi Levi! Come in!" She said.
"Hey, Midori! So, What's so different about Sammy?" He asked. "Okay, wait. We are moving to fast here. How did you get here so fast?"
"I moved." He said. "You moved? Why?" I asked. "Um... I'll tell you in the other room. Sammy, you should stay here." He said. "Okay...?" Sammy said confused.
Levi and I head to the other room and shut the door. "So, why did you move?" I asked again. "Because I'm going to have to be the one who has to be here for Sammy." He said. "What's that supposed to mean?" I asked. "Well, I saw you and Andr yesterday, and you both barely made eye contact with her." I as shocked. "Well, I..." I didn't know what to say. "I don't care if it's some kind of sickness or amnesia, you need to be there for her." He said with anger in his tone.
"Uh..." I still felt really bad. He crossed his arms. "Have you ever considered-"
"Have you considered what I felt?!" I yelled. He froze. "I just lost one of the most important people in my life, and you expect me to just keep how I feel inside?! Now, Sammy is just some stranger living in my house!" Levi's jaw dropped.
"I knew it." I looked at the door way. Sammy was standing there, crying. "I don't know why, but I've obviously ruined your life."
"That's not what I meant!" I said. I was on the verge of sobbing.
"I know when I'm not wanted." Sammy bolted out across the tree house.
I ran after her. "Sammy, wait!" She jumped down the ladder and ran away.
"Oh no..." I couldn't express how I felt.
Sammy's POV
I sat at the park bench. I felt like I couldn't cry anymore. I looked at the little pond near me. Frogs and toads were all jumping together.
There was a woman passing by. She wore blue and white striped shirt, a big straw hat, jeans, and brown boots. She was walking three dogs, and a cat was on her shoulder.
I looked at the ground. What am I supposed to do now?
"Meow." A cat was pushing it's head on my arm. "Hey there little kitty." I said. It looked like the woman's cat. "Milquetoast!" The lady came running to me, along with her dogs.
"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry! Did he scratch you?" She said worriedly. "It's fine." I said. Then, her dogs started to jump and lick me. 'Ahhaha! That tickles!"
"Page! Molly! Polly! Down!" She said sternly. "It's okay! These dogs are such cuties!" I said petting one of them.
"Well, after you've met my pets, I should introduce my self. My name is Stacy." She extended her hand. "I'm Sammy." I shook her hand. She looked at me. "Are you okay?" She asked. She noticed I was crying. "It's just... personal stuff." I said. "Oh. Well, I can walk you home?" She asked. "I'm not sure I have a home anymore." I replied.
"... Maybe you can stay with me. I have a hotel room with two beds."
"Really?!" My face lit up. "Yeah, I have the gold." (Iron, gold, diamond, and emerald are currency.)
"Yay!" I yelled. We started to walk off to the hotel.
Midori's POV
"Sammy!" I yelled. Levi was with me. We both yelled Sammy's name.
"I'm so stupid. I shouldn't of been this way." I felt really guilty. Levi kept calling her name.
Tears started to form in my eyes. "You should go home." Levi said. "You probably need some time to think."
"...Okay." I walked in the other direction. I knew Levi just wanted me to get away from him.
I looked up at the sky. The moon was right over head. It was Mid-Night. Please let Sammy be okay...
