Chapter 11
I will love you more than that
I won't say the words
Then take them back.
MORE THAN THAT - BACKSTREET BOYS
I had finished Smack Down! and was heading towards my brand new motorcycle. I saw someone standing at it and at first I thought they were gonna steal it. *Over my dead body!* Then as I got closer, I realised it was Sam. I tucked my helmet under my arm and stood watching her. "You like it?" I asked after a while. She jumped and turned to look at me. "Yeah, it's so cool."
"I bought it today," I said to her. "Cool. Must have cost a lot though," she said. "I've wanted a new one for ages, it's just been a matter of finding one I liked," I said with a shrug. She smiled, "Well I'd better be going." I nodded, "Yeah, okay. See ya."
"Bye Jeff."
She went to her car and I got on my bike. I headed back to the hotel for another lonely night.
Two days later.
I walked down into the hotel lobby to find everyone waiting on me. "Morning people," I mumbled. A few people replied and a couple waved over. I set my bags down and looked around. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Sam kiss Chris. I turned to look at them as she pulled away. She saw me and waved over. I smiled and waved back half-heartedly. Chris came over. "Hey Jeff." "Hi Chris," I said. "You okay man?" he asked. "Yeah, I'm fine, just not feeling too good," I lied. In truth, I wanted to punch his face in. Jealousy bubbled up inside me but I ignored it. "I hope you don't mind," he was saying, "But Sam and me are going on a date." I tried my best to look and stay calm. "Ain't as if I can stop y'all," I said, "Me and Sam ain't together anymore." "Thanks man." Chris slapped my back and walked off. I wanted to slap the taste out of his mouth. I sat down dejectedly. Dwayne came over and sat next to me. "I saw what happened kid. You okay?" he asked. I nodded, "I'll have to be. I brought it all on myself." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I sat in the back seat of the car, left to my own thoughts as Matt drove and Amy chatted away. We passed by Mark and Glen's car and waved out at each other. We came to the last set of traffic lights before the freeway and stooped. I noticed Matt and Amy waving, so I looked to see who they were waving at. Sam was in the next car, so I smiled and waved a little. She smiled at me and waved back but quickly looked away again. Inside my heart was split in two. I looked down sadly, my life and world falling apart around me. Matt looked in the rear view mirror at me. "Jeff?" "I'm fine Matt." Amy was starting to show sympathy and turned to look at me. "C'mon Jeff sweetie, you'll get through it," she said, "We're here for ya." "Thanks Aimes," I whispered. She squeezed my hand and turned back in her seat to face front-ways. I leaned against the window and pulled my cap down to cover my face in shadow. I closed my eyes and saw Sam's smiling face and finally broke down in tears.
ok, admit it. how many of y'all are starting to feel a little sorry for Jeff? those of you who have read it from Sam's pov first may still be a little bit wary of it but come on! can't you see the man is sorry?!
