True Love - Chapter 9
Sam paused at the staffroom door for a moment. She was ready to mouth off at Linda, and let out all of the anger she had been holding in all afternoon. She looked at Fletch standing there and put on a smile as best as she could. She nodded silently and sorted out her things in her locker as fast as possible, immediately heading out of the door.
Just seconds after walking out, she heard her name and turned to see Fletch standing alone behind her.
"Something up?" He spoke with a friendly smile. Sam thought to herself for a second. She couldn't tell him. She didn't want the fuss, and it was hard enough holding back tears and anger already. She didn't want the whole of the E.D knowing.
"No I'm fine." She faked a smile.
"Oh come on, I know that's not true." He raised an eyebrow.
"I'm fine, seriously."
"Sam, I know-"
"Just leave it Fletch." She interrupted and began to walk away.
"Is it something to do with Tom?" This made Sam stop and turn around.
"Just... Yes. But it's really not worth talking about."
"Look, I'm not leaving you alone until you tell me what's going on. It's clearly bothering you." Fletch's expression turned serious. Sam sighed.
"It's fine, it's absolutely nothing, I'll sort it out myself."
"Right that's it. Come on, follow me." Fletch gestures. Sam was reluctant but did as he said. They walked to a cubicle, and he shut the curtain halfway behind them. "Cry it out here." He smiled kindly. Sam sighed and eventually explained everything. Suprisingly, she didn't burst into tears, although Fletch could see her eyes were full of them. He listened intently.
As Sam finished, she stepped back.
"I need to go home..."
Fletch nodded with a slight smile before reassuring her things would be fine.
"Get some rest." He smiled. Sam walked away fast and hurried home. As soon as she got in, she slammed the door shut behind her. She leant her head against the door, not before throwing her things to the side, and felt tears stream down her cheeks. What was she doing? Crying over a man... Tom wasn't just any man though, even though she didn't like to admit it. She wiped away her tears as best as she could, and headed up the stairs slowly for a shower. When she got out she put her pyjamas and dressing gown on, switched the kettle on, and laid on the sofa in the dark. After wiping away a few mire tears she felt her eyes shut themselves, and she gradually drifted off to sleep.
Sam jumped. She awoke to a violent banging. Then she heard the doorbell ring, followed by more knocking. She quickly rose, readjusted her dressing gown, and walked to the door, still slightly in sleep mode. She opened the door quickly.
"Sam, I've tried ringing you, you didn't answer, you haven't replied to any of your texts, I've been ringing the door bell for about five minutes..."
Sam was almost speechless. "Tom..."
He had been crying and there were still tears in his eyes. For a moment they just stared at each other, unsure of what to say. Tom spoke first.
"I spoke to Fletch, and Linda, Sam I am so so sorry. I should have believed you from the start, I was stupid, so stupid. I am such an idiot, I was jealous..." Tom was rambling." "...I don't know how to apologise, please forgive-"
"Tom..." Sam interrupted. He stopped and his eyes widened. "Do you have any idea how much I've needed you this evening..."
Tom began again, "I know Sam, I am so sorry, I should have been here-" Tom stopped speaking as Sam stepped towards him and wrapped her arms around his neck tightly, standing on tiptoes. He let out a huge sigh of relief and wrapped his arms around her too.
"I love you so much..." He spoke softly. He felt Sam's hold around him tighten before she replied.
"I love you too Tom. Don't you ever do that to me ever again. I thought I'd lost you."
"Let's just forget this ever happened..." He said with a questioning tone in his voice. He smiled, resting his chin on her shoulder.
"That sounds like a good idea to me..." Sam breathed out heavily. "I guess you should probably come in, instead of leaving the door open wide..." She pulled away, stepping backwards and smiling faintly. He said nothing but also smiled as he stepped inside, and he shut the door behind him.
Yes I know it's been AGES since I last updated, but as some of you may know from reading my other fics, I have a perfectly good excuse, as I've had exams. As my Science ones finished Wednesday I had a bit more time to update. Turns out I like writing FanFictions more than I realised. I really hope you like the update.
I would like to give the biggest shoutout as is humanly possible to Emily - because she is seriously awesome. Also this will make her smile and that's good, because she's awesome. She deserves this shoutout and she'll probably be the first person to read this... ;)
