AN: hi guys! New chappie! I would like to thank "Guest" for this suggestion. Sam and Charlie are in college, and have been going out for a couple of years. Enjoy and review!

Charlie's PoV:

I just hanged out with Sam and her roommate, and I was walking out of her dorm room when I heard a girl screaming for help. It seemed to be coming from the end of the hallway, and I ran towards the room. I opened the door and found a girl alone. Then why was she screaming? When I saw her face, I recognised her as a girl from Sam's year, Joanna. When she looked at me, she gave me a weird look. I asked, "Are you alright? I heard you screaming for help. Is everything alright?" She came uncomfortably close to me and said, "Well, now that you're here, I'm perfectly fine." I tried to move away from her but she didn't let me. "If you're okay, then I'll go." I said.

"Oh, don't go! There's so much we need to catch up on." I realised what she was trying to do. She was hitting on me. "I'm sorry, but I don't think there's anything we need to catch up on. I think you know I'm in a relationship with someone, and she's in your year." I tried to go to the door again but she had a tight grip on my arm.

"I know. Sam. What do you see in her? I can give you so much more than her, believe me darling, you deserve so much more than that!" I was getting really angry. How dare she talk about Sam like that?

"I am very happy with my girlfriend. Don't ever talk about her like that." I growled. She gave me that weird look again and pushed me against the wall and said, "I love angry men, such a turn on." I tried to push her away, and I used a fair amount of force. But she smashed her lips into mine. I pushed her away really hard and she fell back. "I am dating Sam, and I love her and I am very happy. You can give me nothing. Stay away from me." I growled and went to the door, and my heart stopped. Sam was standing at the door, with a horrified expression on her face. She had seen everything.

Sam's PoV:

Charlie had forgotten his folder in my dorm room. I figured he would've reached the first floor and I headed for the stairs. I stopped because I heard muffled voices from the end of the hallway, and one of them sounded disturbingly like Charlie. What was he doing in Joanna's dorm room? I walked back to her door, and found it open. I looked in and saw Charlie and Joanna kissing. My body seemed to stop working, so did my brain. Charlie growled something at her and walked towards the door. I couldn't let him see me, but my legs couldn't move. Charlie, of all people. He froze when he saw me, that pulled me out of my shocked state. My shock changed to anger and I walked away from him. I thought I could trust him! And he would never break it.

"Sam! Sam! Wait! That was nothing! Believe me!" He yelled as he trailed behind me. I didn't stop and soon I was outside, near the parking lot. I turned around to find him running to me.

"That was nothing? You call making out with another girl nothing?" I yelled.

He shook his head violently and said, "Sam, I wasn't making out with her! She was screaming for help and when I went in she started flirting with me and-"

"And you being the gem of a person you are obliged. Didn't you?" I yelled. How dare he make excuses? I saw it myself!

"No! She crashed her lips into mine! I pushed her away!"

"Charlie, you can't prove my eyes wrong. You are as big an asshole as any of the other guys I've gone out with. I was crazy to think you were different."

"No, Sam! I didn't kiss her!" Did he think I was an idiot?

"So, was I hallucinating? Do you think I'm stupid? Or blind?" I yelled even louder. He was indirectly insulting me! I couldn't believe I was going out with him.

"No, Sam! Please-" I couldn't take it anymore. I was so angry I was numb.

"Charlie, just stay away from me. It's over." I said quietly. He looked so heartbroken it almost made me change my mind. But looking at what he did, he deserved to be heartbroken.

"No, please! Don't do this!" He begged.

"I can't go out with a guy I can't trust. Just leave me alone."

I walked away before he could say anything. I couldn't let him see the tears welling up in my eyes. It dawned on me that I wasn't in a relationship anymore. I thought we had something special, and I thought he felt it too. And I thought he could be the one. But he threw it all away.

I kept walking and found a place where there were no people, and I cried. I cried for hours, but the tears didn't seem to end. It was really late, I figured I should go back. I took the longest way back, and cried all the way. I wiped the tears off when I reached my floor. I felt another stab of pain when I passed Joanna's room. The door was closed, the curtains were drawn. I went in my dorm room and found my roommate, Katie sitting on her bed.

"I thought you were sleeping. Did I wake you?" I sounded weird, I guess that was because I cried so much.

"No, I was waiting for you. What's wrong, Sam?" I almost started crying again, but I controlled myself.

"I broke up with Charlie." She sat up and looked shocked.

"What? Why? You guys love each other so much!"

"I caught him kissing Joanna in her dorm room." I replied. Katie was quiet for sometime, she looked like she was thinking about something.

"I hope you're aware of the distinct possibility that she might have forced herself at him and that he might not have kissed her back?" My heart sank a little. He did say he didn't kiss her back. No, I saw what I saw.

"No, I saw them. She was eating him up!"

"Exactly. SHE was eating him up. Charlie wasn't eating HER up, right?" I sighed.

"What's your point?" I slumped down on my bed and sighed again. I felt so tired.

"My point is that Joanna is the biggest slut in the school, and she has had her eye on Charlie ever since he joined Penn. You both were just too in love to notice. I've seen the way she looks at him."

"Katie-"

"No, Sam listen. I mean, in Charlie's head, you are the only girl in the world, the only girl he can ever think about that way. You know my boyfriend? He's really good friends with him, and he says he sees girls hit on him all the time. But Charlie's too busy being in love with you to even look at them."

"Then what was he doing in her room? If he's so "in love" with me, what business did he have there?" I said rather aggressively.

"I know you're just going to stay mad, and won't try to find out what happened. So I'm going to find out myself. You will marry him, I just know it. And I'm not going to let you end it with him."

"You're high." I said and went to bed.

I didn't see Katie for two days. And I didn't see Charlie. I didn't want to admit it, but I missed him, a lot. Before, if there was anything on my mind, I would just talk to him and he would listen gladly, and tried to help out if there was anything that bothered me. Now, I kept it all to myself, because there was no one I could talk to about this, not even Patrick, because he wouldn't know what to say because he wasn't here. I needed Charlie.

Charlie's PoV:

I couldn't believe how much had happened in five minutes. Some girl forcefully kissed me, Sam...broke up with me, and I didn't see her again. Actually, I avoided all the places I could see her, because she wanted to be left alone and I didn't think I could do that if I saw her. I didn't go to the diner for lunch like I used to, I went to another place outside campus. My roommates tried to "cheer me up" by setting me up for dates, but I always said no. One guy I was good friends with, Katie's boyfriend said, "Hey Charlie, I know you didn't do anything. Just do what you're doing (staying away), and she'll come around."

Joanna didn't leave me alone. She kept pestering me to go out with her, and one day she crossed the limit again by throwing herself on me. I was so angry.

"Don't you understand I don't want to go out with you?! Just because you happen to be a really big liar, Sam broke up with me! If I start telling you how many relationships you've ruined, I'll probably be talking all night. Why can't you understand the simple concept of staying away from me?" I yelled. I didn't see her again after that. I did find a lot of people staring at me after my outburst, I guess it was rather public. I saw a mane of brown hair by a tree and my heart did a gymnastics routine. Was Sam that close to me? I was tempted to go and talk to her, but I couldn't pluck up the courage to go and do it. So, I went the opposite way. I went outside campus to have lunch and I ran into Katie in the diner.

She waved at me and said, "Hi, Charlie." I said a quick hi and sat in a booth away from her. Katie brought her stuff to my booth and sat down.

"Look, I know you're going to say. I'm a jerk and I broke Sam's heart, but that girl threw herself on me, I didn't kiss her."

She sighed and said, "Firstly, I wasn't going to say that. Secondly, that girl has a habit of throwing herself on guys. I just wanted to know your side of the story."

"Why are you trying to find out what happened?" She sighed as if it was completely obvious.

"I'm trying to find out because I don't want you guys to end. You are Sam's first serious boyfriend ever."

"Actually I'm second."

"No, you're first because you're the only one she's dated more than a year. Oh never mind! Okay. Tell me everything that happened after you left our dorm room."

I told her everything. How I heard her scream, how she gave me weird looks and said weird things, everything. Katie listened without interrupting. She nodded to let me know she was keeping up.

When I finished, she didn't say anything for a very long time.

But she finally said, "You're telling the truth. I know because of my psychology course and because your story adds up with everything I've found out. I'll take care of everything, just come to our dorm room day after tomorrow at five. And Charlie, thank you for staying away. It made things easier. Bye!"

She left without saying another word, but she did make me hopeful.

Sam's PoV:

Katie's gone crazy. It'd been three days since the...incident and I hadn't even talked to her! The only time I saw her was during classes and at night. She told me to wait for her in our dorm room today at six, because she wanted to tell me something very important. She was probably playing detective and trying to find out what happened that day. I didn't know how I felt about Katie playing detective, I didn't know what she would tell me, and I didn't know what I hoped for. Maybe I did, I just couldn't admit it, not even to myself. I left for our room at five-forty five, and reached exactly at six. I opened the door but she wasn't there, so I waited. She came running in after a couple of minutes and said, panting, "Hi! Oh, sorry I'm late. What's up?"

"You were supposed to tell me something." I sighed.

"Oh yeah. Charlie didn't do anything."

"What?"

"See, Charlie was going out and minding his own business when he heard Joanna scream for help. So, he did what any good guy would do, he went to her room to see if she was okay. Joanna, started flirting with him and he clearly said repeatedly that he was dating you and he was very happy. But then she pushed him against the wall and he tried to go away, but she kissed him, without warning. Then he pushed her fairly hard and said again that he was dating you and he was very happy and that she should stay away from him. See? He wasn't cheating on you. You were just in the wrong place at the wrong time." She explained.

What had I done? Charlie wasn't cheating! I had let go of probably the best guy I could ever find. Even if I apologised, he wouldn't forgive me. I had put some serious allegations on him. But I had to try, just to let him know I regretted doing what I did.

As if reading my mind, Katie said, "Don't worry, Sam. He's coming tomorrow at five. So, please sort it out with him. He really misses you, you know."

"I miss him too." That was all I could say.

The next day was torture. Time seemed to slow down. That really sucked, because I really wanted to meet Charlie and apologise. I quickly had lunch and ran for my dorm room. I reached at four and and found it empty. He wouldn't be here for another hour. I whiled away my time by doing my assignments and drawing on my notebook. Then I started thinking about Charlie and I, everything we went through together, all the good times we had with each other, and how much I missed him. I didn't realise I was crying, and I didn't hear the click of the door. I felt a hand on my shoulder, I turned and my heart did a somersault. Charlie was standing there, with that warm and understanding smile on his face. Without thinking, I got up from my chair and buried my head in his chest, and he held me while I cried and told him how sorry I was, and I stupid I was to think what I thought, and how bad I felt. I was going to say more but he brought my face close to his and kissed me. And I kissed him back. And he didn't let me go, he took me over to the bed and we lay down and kept kissing. When we pulled away for air, he said, "It was a tough time, but it only made us stronger. Don't apologise, Sam. It wasn't your fault." He kissed my tears away.

"But it wasn't your fault either. I blamed you for nothing. I'm so-" he broke me off by kissing me again. And he stayed with me all night.
