Chapter 6: Comfort
Samey woke up to the sound of her alarm clock- buzzing so loud, that it gave her a migraine. Luckily, she wasn't late for school this time. The downside- she was forced to go to school in general. After yesterday, Samey didn't want to go back; especially since Mike will be there. He broke her heart, and now she was forced to sit next to him in history today. Life sucked.
After getting out of bed, Samey just grabbed her backpack, went downstairs, and just walked out of the front door. She didn't feel like eating at the moment, so breakfast was out of the question. And Mike was less-likely going to pick her up and take her to school this morning, after what happened at Starbucks. A heavy sigh escaped Samey's mouth as she kept walking, with her head down. On the way to school, she had some time to think about what had happened yesterday: Mike breaking her heart, and Samey breaking her sister's face. She bit her lip, wondering if Amy would every bring it up at school today. She wondered if it was going to be spread-out all over the school. She hoped it wasn't.
Strangely enough, a car pulls up, and Amy was the driver. Samey stops walking, and turns her head to face her sister. Amy looked depressed, which was odd, considering how she never felt anything, but hatred. And it looked like Amy did a pretty good job hiding all of her bruises from Samey's punches; she's like a wizard when it comes to makeup.
"H-...Hi..." Says Amy.
Samey furrowed her brow. This most definitely wasn't like her at all. "Hey,"
Amy sighs and looks into the review mirror, fixing up her hair. She sighs heavily and looks back at her sister. "S-Sammy..."
"What did you just call me?" Samey asked, surprised from what she just heard.
"Sammy," Amy answered. "That's your name, isn't it?"
"Well...yeah, I suppose..."
Amy turns off the car and gets out. She then walks around the car, gets onto the sidewalk, and stops to face her sister. She fiddles with her fingers a little, as if she were trying to find the right words. But the right words to what? That was what Samey was wondering.
"L-Look..." Amy sighed. "I know it may seem like I hate you, but I don't."
"Really?" Samey asked. "Then what's with the grudge that you have on me? Why do you hate me so much?"
Amy sighed, "I don't hate you. Look, Sammy..." She crosses her arms. "I may seem like a bitch at times..."
Samey crosses her arms, giving her sister a look that reads, Are you serious?
"...Okay, I seem like one a lot..." Amy corrects. "But it's just that..." She takes a deep breath, then finally, says, "How come you're so easy at making friends?"
Samey's eyes widen. This was why her sister hated her? This is why she had such a grudge against her? They've used to have a good bond years ago, but then...it went downhill. Amy's actually talking to her now?
"W-What?" Samey asked, furrowing her brow.
"You may not know this, Sammy, but you're actually the most popular girl in school." Amy says to her seriously. "People only avoid you, because it's my fault. I act like such a bitch most of the time, when really, they're too scared to actually cope with you. They feel like they have to like me, otherwise, I'd have to kill them."
Samey was getting confused. "What a minute; so the reason why people look up to you more than me is because...they're scared of you?"
Amy nodded. "I remember when we went to kindergarten together, on our sixth birthday, we were having a party in class. Everyone seemed to want to be close to you that day- they loved you that much. You always helped others before yourself, you always had positive things to say about everyone, and you always looked the prettiest. Me- I tried to put others before me, but they thought I was copying your actions. I tried to say the most positive things I could think of to those people, but once again, they thought I was just copying you. And I tried to get all dolled up, but that turned out to be a disaster- the punch bowl on our birthday, remember?"
"Oh my god..." Samey choked. "You...you started to hate me since..."
Amy nodded, looking like she was about to cry. "I was so jealous of you- you were the most popular girl back then, that I looked up to you- I tried so hard to be like you. But after that birthday party, I started to realize that maybe being a hero was the wrong path for me. So, I supposed villainy was my calling. Since then, I used my own method- villainy- and everyone was so scared of me, that they had to worship me."
"You must've felt awful, right" Samey asked, feeling her own tears coming.
"I did," Amy sighed. "And it was not worth it. Sammy...I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I will not ask you to forgive me, because what I've done to you for so long was unforgivable. I feel so ashamed in myself for the pain that I've caused you over the years, but I want you to know that I want to change...for you. You are my sister, and I love you!"
Happy tears started to roll down Samey's cheek. "Oh Amy," she sobbed. "I love you, too!"
"So, are we cool? We're friends again?" Amy asked hopefully.
Samey nodded, and hugged her. "Totally; sisters forever!"
They two just stand there and hug each other, taking in this moment. Samey smiled as she held her sister close, feeling all of that pain going away. All these years, and finally, she got her sister back. Life felt like things were just now getting better. Amy pulls away from their hug, and takes her sister's hand, and smiles.
"Sammy...do you want me to take you to school?"
Samey smiles back and nods. "I would love it if you did, thanks."
The twin sisters finally made it to school, and on time! Amy and Samey parted their ways, and went to their first hour class. Once Samey steps foot into her English classroom, however, Mrs. Dobbs gets in front of her, blocking her path to her desk.
Samey furrows her brow. "Is something wrong?"
Mrs. Dobbs sighs. She takes off her glasses and holds them in her hands. "S-Samey...there's someone in the nurse's office who requests to see you..."
"Who?"
XXXXXXXXXX
Samey walks into the small area in the nurse's office, looking devastated as she approaches the small bed. Mike was laying there, all banned up. He had wounds all over his arms, his face, and- even thought she can't see them due to the pulled up blanket- his legs. Samey walks over to Mike's side, watching as he took deep breaths as his eyes were closed.
"M-Mike...?" Samey choked. There was no response, and Samey sits down on the chair next to the bed. She puts her head into her hands; she lifts her head once more, looking at him, as if she were trying to find the right words. "I'm sorry that this happened to you, Mike. I really am..."
A sound came from Mike- a grunt. He opens his eyes, and sees Samey sitting next to him. "Hey Sammy,"
Samey smiles at him, feeling a tear escape her eye. "Hello Mike..." She sniffed. "How are you?"
"Pained," Mike answered. "I've been stabbed. I lost a lot of blood."
"Sooo...how'd you end up in the school's nurse's office?"
"Nurse said I blacked out in the hallway this morning," Mike answered. "I was feeling okay this morning, then before I knew it, I collapsed on the hall before I could make it to first period."
Samey folds her leg over and crosses her arms. She looks slightly disturbed. "You mean to tell me this happened to you last night- the stabbings?"
Mike nodded. "Yup..."
"Who did this to you?"
Mike looked around the room, as if he was making sure they were all alone. He answers in a hushed voice, "Mal..."
Samey gasped, and covered her mouth; her eyes widen. "W-Why?"
"We got into another fight," Mike sighed. "I yelled at him for killing Zoey, then attempted to choke him to death. I actually though I killed him; I was wrong once he stabbed me in the shoulder. After that, well, he forced me to the ground, and began to stab my body, and making marks with his dagger. I think he literally meant to...to kill me..."
"Oh god, Mike...I'm sorry. I'm so sorry..."
"It's okay," Mike smiled sadly. "At least I have you by my side."
Samey smiles back, but then frowns, at the memories of yesterday. Mike frowns as he notices her look away, and grasps her hands with his one larger hand.
"Look, Sammy...I'm...I'm sorry about yesterday. And after all that I went through, I've realized that I can't go on like this anymore. I've realized...that I need to move on..."
"What are you saying?" Samey asked, looking back at him.
Mike sighs, and says, "Sammy, what I'm asking is...can you forgive me about yesterday?"
"Of course I forgive you..." Samey frowns. "Why wouldn't I?"
"That's good to hear," Mike grins. "Because I don't give a damn about what Mal has to say. Whatever means necessary, I swear, as God as my witness, I will protect you. Sammy, what I'm trying to say is...will you be my girlfriend?"
Samey felt her heart melt once she heard that question coming out of Mike's mouth. Was this a dream? Of course it wasn't! Mike was actually asking her to be his! This was all so sweet and completely unexpected! She didn't know what to say! She knew that she liked Mike...a lot, and it was clear to her now that Mike felt the same way about her. This day just kept getting better and better; first she became BFF's with her sister again, and now she was being asked to become the girlfriend to, what people had claimed to be, the hottest boy in school! There was only one word to answer this- one simple, solitary word that'll make this day even better. And that word was...
"Yes!"
Mike smiles, and pulls Samey into a hug. Samey smiles, and hugs him back, feeling her heart actually getting stronger by the moment. Pulling away from their hug, they grin at each other; Mike pulls her close, about to kiss her. Samey leans in too, about to finally have her first kiss, when suddenly...
Amy comes bursting into the room, stumbling upon the two about to kiss.
"Whoa! Um...sorry..." Amy apologizes, looking away slightly.
Samey looks at her sister. "Oh, hey, sis!" Samey says, pulling away from Mike. "Ummm...what are you doing here?"
"Well, I've heard who was in the nurse's office, all banged up, so I figured I'd stop by..." Amy frowns. "I'm sorry, Mike..."
Mike looks bewildered; he asks Samey, "Is she for real?"
Samey laughs nervously. "Yeah...Amy and I are, well...we're sisters again!"
Mike blinks and looks back at Amy, then back at Samey. He grins widely. "I'm happy to hear that, Sammy! That's exciting news, really!"
"Thank you," Amy beamed, then walks over to Samey's side, looking down at him. "So...Mike, what happened?"
"What happened?" Samey frowns; she growls, "Mal happened..."
Amy frowns. "Excuse me?"
"Amy, look..." Mike sighed. "I know that you guys are, well, together, but this- all of this..." He says, motioning to himself. "Is all his doing."
Amy shakes her head. She didn't want to believe this. "You're wrong,"
"Amy, you're speaking with the guy who got stabbed," Samey remarks. "He knows what happened." She looks at Mike nervously. "Go on, Mike, tell her. She needs to know..."
"Know what?" Amy frowns.
Mike sighs, "Amy...you might want to sit down for this..."
