Hey everyone! Sorry for the delay, schoolwork took over. Hopefully back on track now! So here's an update, cause you've all been fab, and this is to Astrid who gave me a kick up the backside to write a new chapter :)Thank you! Ohh, and where are all the Sam and Phil shippers? They disappeared..
Chapter 9- Jenny don't be hasty
Tell me who made these rulesobviously not youwho are you answering to?
There were a million questions on Phil's lips, but he kept schtum. The next morning, he was instructed by his mum to take some breakfast up to Sam, she was staying there today. When he entered the room, she still had her eyes closed, but she was awake. Phil put the tray on the bed and shook her lightly,
"Hey, morning you." to which she opened her eyes and smiled tiredly.
"Thanks." she looked at the tray and her stomach threatened to growl. She was starving, having not had a proper meal in days. She reached out and picked up a piece of toast, taking a big bite. A soft moan escaped her mouth. "Tell your mother she's a lifesaver. This is gorgeous."
Phil sat down on the bed and took a piece of toast from the plate. He went to say something, but stopped himself, then seemed to decide. "Sam.. Last night, I mean.. Will you forgive me for being with Kate?"
Abruptly she stopped eating, and looked at him, her expression hard. "Is this because I showed you that I can show emotion? That is why I don't do it. It's weak. So now you think you can weasel your way back in because I'm weak, right? Because I needed someone to take care of me?" When he just looked guilty she nodded. "Thought so."
Oh, Jenny don't be hastyno don't treat me like a baby
"Sam, I don't think you're weak. You're dead brave." He tilted his head and looked at her pretty face. Without make-up she just looked young and vulnerable. He was surprised when she began to laugh, albeit hollow.
"I'm not brave, Phil. In no way am I brave."
"But all that time you went without telling anyone.. With dealing with everything on your own. That is brave." He had no idea; her world was completely different to his.
"I can't forgive you for what you did."
"But I'm so sorry Sam, she came on to me, I swear." Sam ignored his pathetic words, they meant nothing.
"I trusted you," she whispered, "even when everyone told me not to."
let me take you where you'll let mebecause leaving just upsets me
Max had tried his best to move on from Beth. She had been away two weeks, and she wasn't coming back. Sure, they had spoken on the phone, but his parents had started to get annoyed with the cost, and there was no way he could go and visit; it was way too expensive to fly there. He had been moping a bit since she left, and his mates had tried everything to cheer him up, but to no avail.
Smithy hit him on the back, "Hey mate, fancy a game?" he nodded to the football pitch on the school grounds.
"Nah, you're alright." Max replied dully, scuffing the grass with his shoe.
Smithy nodded, "Well we're gonna go get something to eat." Stevie took his hand and they walked to the canteen together.
Once they had sat down with some chips to share, Smithy took her hand, "Steves, you know how much I like yer, but I'm not sure that this is going to work out.."
"Who is she?" Stevie smiled good naturedly, and looked up to him.
He sighed, "She's taken, I think. But I don't want to keep seeing you while I'm thinking of her. I feel bad, you're such a great girl and all.."
"Don't beat yourself up about it, really." Stevie smiled, "Friends." she said firmly.
"Friends." He grinned and took a chip, coating it in ketchup before popping it in his mouth.
I'll be around again, to see the other menthat are more adequate in the age department
Within days, Sam was back at school, and back home too. With a permanent promise from Lynne Hunter to be welcome back there anytime things got tough. No one else had been told what had happened, she wanted it a complete secret. And although Sam didn't trust Phil to stay faithful in a relationship, she did trust him to keep quiet about that particular secret.
"Jo," Sam smiled, "Hi." Jo grinned and hugged her,
"You're back!"
"Yep." Sam smiled, and blew her fringe into place, pulling her coat tighter around her. "Freezing, isn't it?"
"Think of it this way, Tink, Christmas in a month or so!" she said happily, "Though that means exams too.."
"Exams?" Sam groaned, "There's no way I can revise in time for those, I have what, ten subjects?!"
Jo smirked and started to laugh, "Chill. They're mocks. Don't mean a thing. Trust me." It was true, Sam's previous school had been a lot stricter on deadlines and exams. Sam was a workaholic though, and would still beat herself up about it.
"Still..." she said, unsure.
Later in the day, Jo and Zain were digging for gossip. They had heard rumours about Sam and Phil; well, so had everyone.
"We broke up." She said, "And that's all you're getting."
Zain rolled his eyes and opened a packet of crisps, despite the fact they were in art. "Aww.. Come on-"
"Zain Nadir, get out of my classroom." The art teacher said sharply, and he groaned while Jo smirked. She was a big woman, when she was nice she was lovely, but you didn't want to get on the wrong side of her. When he was gone, Jo turned to Sam,
"Come on Tink, what happened?"
"He tried to get me to forgive him, and.. I can't. That's it."
I thought there'd be no problems here
but now you're looking at me like you're disgustedthen I'm definitely waiting for you to smile and change your mindthen I'll say I'm sorry and wrap my arms around your body
Phil went up to Sam after school, "Sam, can I have a word?" When she sighed and nodded, he took her to the wall behind the music block. "Zain tells me that the whole art class know about us."
"There's nothing to know, Phil." Sam ran a hand through her fringe. "I only told Jo that we broke up. I'm sorry if people made a fuss about it."
Phil put his hand to her waist, "Please. Please forgive me. Or at least understand how sorry I am. I really mean it Sam, I feel awful."
She stepped back. "Don't."
"Oh, come on.." he brought her closer and moved in to kiss her.
"Get off." she said softly, but an irritated edge to her voice. When he didn't, and his lips touched hers, she pushed him hard off her. "Get off!!" She walked fast off around the music block and walked fast towards the road, her folders clutched in her arms. That was until two firm hands stopped her. She looked up and let out a breath, smiling softly.
I really hope that you forgive in a hurryand don't just ask me to leave
Phil rubbed his nose and groaned, could things get any worse? He had kept up the two-timing streak for years. Only now it seemed not to be working so well. This was the one time he actually cared, and he had screwed it up.
Oh, Jenny you are crazy!
First I'm perfect, then I'm lazy
and I was calling you my baby
now it sounds like you just left me
and it kills me!
Ding..dong.
Max looked up from the television and frowned. It was late, half past nine. No one he knew would be calling at the door now.. He went out the room and unlocked the door, prepared for some sales person. When he saw the little outline in the dark, the sparkling blue eyes, Max just stared.
Hope this makes up for the lack of updates! + Krissie, I think you should be happy now :P
