Sam

I'm happy. Very happy. For once in my life, I'm actually happy. I can smile without faking it. Ever since Rod an I had confessed our feelings two days ago, following by the very long kiss we had shared, I can't stop smiling. We had agreed to keep things slow since I'll be going back soon. On that note. I've been thinking. I really hate the city. And there's nothing waiting for me there. I mean, except for a paying job but other than that, nothing. I'm useless in the city. I rather stay here with Alex, Rod and the others. Even Neil's warming up to me. Well, slowly. At least he's talking to me now without the attitude.

I'm now in Alex's barn, brushing her animals. At least they trust me now. And this farming thing's getting easier, I'm still weak, but it's getting better. I wouldn't say that farming isn't for me though. I rather work at the restaurant since I'm a waitress in the city. At least these people won't be rude to you while trying to take their orders.

There. Finished. The crops are watered, and I fed the animals, now what? Well, I should check on Alex. Where is she anyway? She can't be at Allen's already. Does he ever work?

Well, what do you know? I found Alex with other than Allen. I was right. I giggled.

I walked into the shop. "Hey guys," I greeted.

"Hey Sam." Alex greeted back. "What's up?"

"Not much. I finished the farm work so I'm just wondering around. Maybe I'll go into the forest later. Anyway, are you okay? You need anything?"

"I'm fine. At least my leg isn't hurting today."

"That's good." I smiled.

"Hey Sam. How are things with Rod?" Allen smirked.

"Fine, we've decided to take things slow since I'll be leaving soon."

"Makes sense." Alex nodded.

"Did you want to stay though?"

I looked at Allen. Wow Alex really tells him everything. "I'm still thinking about it." I shrugged.

"You know you're more than welcome to stay here with us."

"I know." I gave Alex a smile.

Alex and I had left Allen's together, letting the man get back to work. However I'm now in the forest, while she's at the restaurant. I'd joined her but I wasn't hungry. Maybe after my walk. I just need some fresh air. And I like it here. It's so peaceful. I could take a nap here.

"Ah, there you are. I thought I never find you."

I paused. That voice. I know that voice. No no no no no no. It can't be. I turned around. "J-j-justin?" What is he doing here?

'I see you haven't forgotten your boyfriend." He grabbed my arm. "Come on. I'm taking you out of here and to the city where you belong."

"You're not my boyfriend. We broke up ages ago." He's the reason why I have trust issues. He's the reason why I couldn't tell Rod my feelings. Justin's the type of guy who'd leave someone after a month. He's the reason why I hate to city. Well, one of the reasons. He only goes back to a girl if they have something he wants-and it hit me. He wants something from me. But what? I'm broke. I got nothing. "What do you want from me? And how did you find me?" I questioned the jerk in front of me.

"Someone had told me that you went to a unknown village in the middle of nowhere, taking care of Alex and her farm. And a farmer? Really?" He laughed. "You're no farmer sweetheart. I mean just look at you."

I rolled my eyes.

"Anyway, I need a place to live. And you're the only girl that could help me."

"You want my house? You can have it. I'm planning on moving here anyway."

"You want to move here? And I'm afraid it's not that simple."

"What do you mean?"

He walked closer to me, moving his blonde hair out of his green eyes. "The last girl I was with, kicked me out of her place. And since I have an actual paying job I need a place to live. Due to my past with alcohol, and other stuff that you don't need to know about, I'm not allowed to live alone. So I told my work place that I have a girlfriend," he got closer to me. "You." He kissed my lips.

"No." I pushed him off of me. "Get away from me. I'm not your girlfriend. And there's no way I'll help you, you jerk! I don't care if you end up in jail. Now, get away from me!"

I turned away from him, running back towards town. I need help.

At the restaurant, I ran inside to see Alex and Rod sitting together. Oh thank goodness.

"Are you alright Sam?" Rod got up and hugged me.

"No." I started crying into Rod's arms.

"What's going on?" Alex questioned.

I looked at her. "He's back.'"

"Who?"

"J-j-justin. He found me Alex I'm so scared."
