A/N: Thanks for the great reviews, keep them coming!
Jeff's POV
I've been in North Carolina for about a month now and I'm ready to go home. Sure, I love my brother and I love spending time with him, but I miss Samantha. We text each other basically all day, but it's not the same as being with her.
"Alright, who do you keep talking to on there?" Matt asked as he came into the living room.
"What are you talking about?"
"Everytime I turn around, you're on that phone. Who's so important that you're talking to them all day?"
"Samantha."
"Samantha? I've never heard you mention her before. Who is she, you're girlfriend?" He asked as he sat down on the couch across from me.
"No, she's my best friend. I met her on my first day of school and she lives next door."
"What's she look like?"
"Uhh, hold on." I said as I went to my bag. "Here." I handed him a picture that had me standing there with Samantha's back against my chest and my arms around her waist with her arms on top of mine and both of us smiling.
"Wow, she's pretty." He said as he held the picture.
"Yeah, I know."
"Soo, you like her?"
"What? No!" I answered quickly, only to have Matt stare at me with a 'yeah, right' look causing me to give in. "Alright, yeah."
"Well does she like you back?"
"I don't know, I don't think so."
"Well maybe you should look into that. Anyway, doesn't she have anything better to do than sit around and text you all day? She doesn't have any other friends?"
"Actually, if you must know, she doesn't. People have been making fun of her since elementary school for no good reason, her best friend of 13 years moved here two years ago, her ex-boyfriend is like some stalker guy who won't leave her alone and now I'm visiting you, so excuse me if I want to talk to her." I said, getting annoyed.
"Whoa sorry. But you are here visiting me, and I think you've been talking to her more. So maybe you could lay off the texting so we can actually do stuff before you go back."
Samantha's POV
This past month has gone by so slow. There's nothing to do now that Jeff's not here. I've been texting him a lot, but he hasn't answered me in the last couple days.
"Hey, I'm leaving now." My mom said as she walked by me with a suitcase.
"What? Where are you going?"
"I told you I wasn't going to be here this weekend."
"But daddy can't pick me up this week, what am I suppose to do the whole time?"
"I don't know, you'll figure something out." She said as she walked out the door.
Great. I don't wanna be stuck in this house all alone. Well, Gil told me not to become a stranger, so I guess I could go over to his house. I grabbed my Jeffy bear and my phone, checking it again to see there's still no new messages and made my way next door.
"Hey, I was wondering when I was gonna see you again." Gil smiled as he answered the door.
"Hi. Umm my mom just kinda left for the weekend, soo is it alright if I stay here tonight? I don't really feel like being alone in that house."
"Of course, come on in." He said as he moved over to let me in. "So have you talked to Jeff lately? How's he doing?"
"Umm I don't know, he hasn't answered me in the past couple days." I said as I checked my phone again.
"Oh, well maybe he's just busy right now."
"Yeah. Can I borrow some clothes? I didn't bring any with me."
"Sure, go on up and pick something out of Jeff's closet."
"Thanks." I said as I started walking up the stairs.
When I opened the door to his room, I was instantly hit with the smell of him. I looked around the room and smiled as I noticed he took the bear I made with him. As I was walking around, I noticed all the pictures of us he had, but one was missing off the wall. Looking at all of these was just making me miss him more, so I made my way over to his closet and changed into a pair of basketball shorts and a wife beater before making my way back downstairs and flopping down on the couch.
"You miss him, huh?" Gil asked as he sat down next to me.
"Yeah, a lot." I sighed. "Time is going much slower than I thought."
"I know, but he'll be back soon."
"I guess so. Hey, do you mind if I check my e-mail before I go to bed?"
"Not at all, go ahead."
As I was checking my mail, I noticed I had one from Jeff, so I quickly opened it.
Funsize,
I know I haven't talked to you lately, but Matt took my phone away. He said that I was texting too much and that I was talking to you more than I was to him, so he told me to lay off. I don't know when I'll get it back, and still don't know when I'm coming home, so I just thought I'd write and tell you so you wouldn't think I was ignoring you or anything. Well, I guess I'll talk to you later.
-Jeffy
I didn't bother to reply, I don't know if he'll even get a chance to check it if I did. So I just went up to his room and made my self comfortable in his bed before falling asleep.
Gil's POV
The next morning, I woke up around 10 and went to Jeff's room to see if Samantha's awake yet. I opened the door and smiled as I seen her snuggled up in his bed holding onto her 'Jeffy bear'. I closed the door and walked downstairs as the phone started ringing.
"Hello?"
"Hey dad."
"Oh, hi Jeff. How are things?"
"It's alright." He sighed. "Matt took my phone away the other day."
"He did? Why?"
"He said I was talking to Samantha more than I was to him."
"You miss her?"
"Yeah. I don't know when I'm coming home yet, I can't wait to see her. So what have you been up to?"
"Not much, I had a visitor last night though."
"A visitor?"
"Yeah, Samantha turned up saying her mom just left for the weekend so she's staying here."
"She's there right now?" He asked hopefully, causing me to laugh slightly.
"Well right now she's sleeping. I let her borrow some of your clothes and your bed, hope it's alright."
"It's fine." He said, sounding disappointed.
I looked up and seen Samantha walking in, looking more sad than she did yesterday and she slightly waved to me as she sat down at the counter and put her head down.
"Actually, she just walked in if you want to talk to her." I said, causing her head to snap up and look at me.
"Yeah, put her on!" He said excitedly.
"Hello?" She said curiously, obviously not expecting Jeff to be on the other line. I'm assuming she knew it was him when her face turned from confused to looking like she just won a contest.
"Hey Jeffy!....Yeah, I'm good...No, actually he hasn't even talked to me yet..."
I watched as she was talking to him, the smile never leaving her face. Then I noticed that her smile fell as she started to blush a little. Then she looked down and started biting her bottom lip as she started smiling again. I guess he knows how to sweet talk her.
"I know....I miss you too...Yeah..Ok...Bye" She said as she hung up.
"What?" She asked as she looked up to find me smiling at her.
"You like him." I said simply, smiling wider when I seen her start blushing.
"Wh-what would make y-you say that?"
"The fact that you brighten up when you talk to him and you blush a whole lot whenever he's around."
"Well, we're just friends."
"I think otherwise."
"Think what you want, that's my story and I'm sticking to it." She said as she stuck her tongue out at me and went back upstairs.
