Previously on You can't erase the past: "No!" Sam said failing to hold in tears "You had other chances to come and find me, to win me back. I have moved on Freddie! It was 10 year ago! We're not silly little teenagers anymore, this is the real world and you can't just barge in here and expect me to forgive you and fall into your arms!"......... "I love you Sam!" He cried after pulling away from her lips "I made the biggest mistake of my life the day I kissed Stacy. The past 10 years have been a misery without you, when I found out you had gone I fell apart. You may have been able to move on from me but I will NEVER move on from you."........ "I'm going get you back Sam. If it' the last thing I do."........
It was too late. He couldn't just turn up like life was some fairytale and expect her to fall into his arms and ride off with him into the sunset on his white horse. This wasn't some Disney movie where there was always a happy ending, this is the real world and fairytales don't happen.
That's what Sam kept telling herself. That she was totally right to have let Freddie go and she was better off without him. Though somehow no matter how many cons she could think of against getting back together with Freddie, the one pro she found overtook the cons by miles.
She still loved him.
"Sam! Are you ok? You weren't answering your phone"
Carly's voice rang through her ears as she opened the door for her friend. Immediately Carly wrapped her in a hug asking how she was.
"I'm fine" Sam lied "Perfect actually"
Carly frowned "Freddie came to see me last night"
Sam's heart skipped a beat "What?"
"Yeah" Carly sighed "He kept asking me to tell him everything you loved so he could buy you them. I think he's trying to win you back"
"I know" Sam said quietly "He came here asking for forgiveness"
Carly gasped "Sam! Is he here? Did you forgive him?"
"What? No Carly" Sam cried "I told him that he's too late. That I'd moved on"
Carly placed a hand on Sam's shoulder "But Sam...It's not too late. You haven't moved on"
Sam sighed in thrust ration throwing herself on the sofa "Don't you think I know that Carly!"
"So...why did you turn him away?"
"Because...because...I can't just suddenly forgive him"
"Why not?" Carly asked sitting down beside Sam.
"What's with all the questions" Sam cried "You're supposed to agree with me!"
"I'm just making sure your doing the right thing" Carly said. "I just want you to be happy Sam and from where I'm standing without Freddie...you're not happy"
"Just shut up Carly" Sam sighed "I know what's best for me."
"Do you love him?" Carly asked.
"Carly...That's not..."
"Do you love him?" Carly said stronger.
Sam looked up and said weakly "Yes"
"Then why did you turn him away?"
"Because..."Sam began but she couldn't find the words.
Carly was right and she knew it. Sam loved Freddie and the only reason she didn't forgive him for cheating on her was because she was scared, of getting hurt again.
"I know Freddie did something terrible but that was 10 years ago Sam" Carly told her.
"I know but..."
"When he came to see me last night...it was like he was broken without you. He's sorry Sam; I could see it in his eyes"
Sam could feel the tears coming down her face "But...what if he hurts me again?"
Carly's face softened and she embraced her friend "I know you're scared but do you really believe he would ever do anything to hurt you again?"
"No" Sam choked. She knew Carly was right. Deep down she never really believed Freddie would have purposely done anything to hurt her.
Carly smiled pulling Sam out at arm's length "He's staying in number 46 at the Hilton hotel at 26 Seddie Street. Are you going to stay here and drown your sorrows in meat or are you going to go and win him back?
"I...I...I'm going to...win him back" Sam stuttered.
Carly grinned "Do you want a lift?"
"No" Sam said "This is something I have to do on my own"
"Ok" Carly said giving her friend a hug before saying goodbye.
Sam didn't know what she was doing. Before she knew it she was getting dressed and ready to go out the door. Every part of her screamed out for her to go back to crying over a leg of ham but somehow she couldn't bring herself to stop. She was going to get Freddie back and nothing was going to stop her, not even herself.
You can't erase the past –
"Number 42...43...44...45...46"
Her heart was beating ten times faster; she was doing everything in her power to stop herself from running back to the car. What would he say? Would he even take her back? Just the night before she had told him that she had moved on, that she never wanted to see him again. Now she was showing up at his hotel wanting him back.
Sam took a deep breath and knocked three times. The door opened to reveal a very confused looking Freddie.
"Sam" He gasped "What are you doing here?"
She tried to find the right words to say to him. To say the words that would tell him that she wasn't desperate but still wanted him. She needed to say the right thing but after a moments struggle for words all she could think of was:
"I love you"
AN: Sorry it's been so long since I updated and sorry for the cliff hanger. Also sorry for the "Seddie Street" I couldn't help myself lol. I was listening to Taylor Swift, White horse at the start...I stole some lines from that...haha...anyways thanks for reading :D
