Sam

…

" I just want to thank you Carly." Marcus say with his arm around Audrey.

" Yes, if it wasn't for you and your bright ideas, I wouldn't have realized what I really wanted in life," Audrey says turning her head to Marcus. " Marcus." She adds. Great. I roll my eyes and walk away. I'm happy for them. But, but…now I don't have a boyfriend! I pull up a seat and smash my head on the table. Time to sulk. I'm good at that. I feel someone pull up a seat next to me. I lift my head and look at Marcus.

" I never really wanted it to end this way." He says in a sincere voice. I try to smile.

" It's okay." I say. " I think we all know down in our hearts that we don't know true understanding of loss until we lost something dear." I add. Oh my god, I just gave good words of advice.

" I'm so glad you see it that way." Marcus says. He rubs his thumb against my cheek and kisses it. I jump out of the chair and run up the stairs to the studio. I can't watch him walk away with Audrey.

I watch Sam run up the stairs from the counter. I sit on the stool and watch Marcus leave with Audrey. I'm not completely devastated. I started questioning they're relationship after that date night at the fair. I look at Carly and Josh canoodling on the couch.

" Let's eat." Josh simply says and then takes Carly by the hand, heading straight to the door. I sit by the computer thinking about the good memories I shared with Audrey. There all noteworthy, and lovable. Sort of like the moments I had with Sam, when...we were dating. I look up at the stairs and question my next move. I look up again at the stairs. *Sigh* I hop off the stool and run up the stairs. I come to the studio floor. I walk up to the studio door with caution. I can only see the back of Sam as she lies on the purple bean bag. Is she crying? Sulking? Well, she was doing that earlier in the kitchen. I open the door a crack.

" Sam?" I ask. I hear sigh.

" What do you want?" She asks back. I walk into the room more.

" Just to see how you are."

" I'm really peachy." Sarcastically. I roll my eyes and head to the car. I take a seat on the hood and look down to her.

" How are you feeling about all of this?" I ask.

" Crossed, vexed, displeased,"

" Ooo big words." I comment. She gives me a nasty look. I put my hands up in serenader.

" I saw it coming." She adds in a disappointing tone of voice. " And I didn't want to believe it. And watching them work out their feelings on screen, it just, tore my heart." She says. She jumps off the bean bag. " I've never felt so disappointed in my life, just because I was right."

" If it makes you feel any better," I say standing. " I got suspicious after the big fair date." I add.

" I guess I'm not the only one." I see a small smile on her face. I take Sam's hand and pull her into a hug. I feel her become more relaxed.

" I miss your arms." Sam says. " Marcus as the same arms as you." I feel her hand pass down my arm.

" I miss your giggles." I say. I feel her facial expression change as her cheek lies on my shoulder. She must be smiling. She lifts her head up and leaves my embrace. I hold on to her hand. Her eyes lock on our hands and then looks at my face.

" Be mine?" I ask. She smiles.

" I thought you wouldn't ask." She replies, and then giggles. I pull her in like a dancing move. She laughs as I dip her.

" I forgot for a moment that you have dancing movements."

" You forget a lot of things." I joke. Sam quickly kisses me and then whispers in my ear,

" I'm hinting that she should recreate that Audrey and Marcus scene."

Thank you Marcus.

For taking my girlfriend.

And realizing what I'm missing.
