A big bombshell dropped by Sam and now Corey has to come to the rescue...I own nothing...Read & Review!
Corey carried Sam from the car into her apartment. She had stopped sobbing, but her breath was still shallow. He'd never seen her like this and it made him want to kick Phil's ass for hurting her and throwing her out on the street in the state she was in. Laying her on the couch, Corey went into the kitchen and got her a nerve pill and a bottle of water. He knew Sam hated taking her emergency anxiety meds, but she needed to calm down. After helping her take off her coat he gave her the pill and she surprisingly took it without putting up a fight. The two sat on the couch, Corey's arm around Sam's shoulder as he comforted his best friend.
"Sam why were you at Phil's tonight?"
"I had to see him."
"I don't understand, I thought you were done with him. You're with Jason now."
"It's different with Phil."
"Samantha what did he do to upset you?"
"He hates me, he'll never forgive me for what I did. He told me I'm a heartless bitch and he's right, I am."
"He broke your heart! You are not a heartless bitch, he's a gutless coward who can't face the fact that he is the one that ruined your relationship!" Sam sat up and made eye contact with Corey.
"He's not a coward and me leaving wasn't his fault. I cheated on him Corey."
"Sam you're exhausted and saying ridiculous things, maybe it's time for bed."
"It's not ridiculous Corey, it happened. I felt neglected and rather then talking to Phil about it I went out drinking one night, got really drunk and slept with Matt Cardona. I tried to forget about it and act like it never happened, but the guilt got to me and I left. I kept the whole thing a secret and didn't tell anyone until tonight."
All Corey could do was stare at his best friend who had never kept anything from him until now. He was angry and upset, but decided now was not the time to express those feelings. Getting up from the couch, Corey grabbed his jacket and opened the door making sure it was locked behind him. Sam stared at her shaking hands as she laid back on the couch. She had never felt more alone in her life, but she knew she had brought it on herself.
