A/N: Okay I updated this chapter and added the lyrics to the song.
****
"Stop"
"What? O Sam I'm…."
"Get out"
"Sam just…"
"Get out now!" Travis leaves realizing that there is nothing he can say to her right now. Nothing would make a difference.
I went too far. … What was I thinking? I know she doesn't want to go there. I'm never done something like this before. I felt like this before….She's going to hate me.
The next day at school Travis waits for Sam to come to school hoping he'll get to talk to her. She refused all his calls last night; he knew he needed to fix things with her even though he made things worse. The first bell rings and no sign of Sam. Travis sighs and gets up and strolls to class.
"Hey Travis!" Lily called out. "Where were you this morning?" she said catching up to him.
"I was waiting for Sam but she didn't show"
"Did you guys fight last night?"
"Yea big time. I have to talk to her but…"
"Don't worry she's in my science class. Come on." Travis blinked in disbelief. Could the girl that supposedly liked him really want to help? He followed her anyway and sure enough she was there in the back of the class. He almost ran to the back of the room.
"Sam? I was waiting for you this morning and…"
"I came in the south entrance." She said flatly
"I'm sorry about last night. I…"
"Look, I don't want to talk to you"
"Sam, come on, just here me out."
"No"
"Buddha once said…"
"I'm a Christian remember?"
"I know. I know you don't want us to end. I just…"
"Excuse me young man, please return to your class" The teacher said wanting to start her lesson.
"Look if you love me at all meet me in the library now, ok? If not, then don't come, but I will be there." With that he silently leaves the room off to the library as Lily takes a seat next to Sam.
"Hi"
"Hi"
"Listen, I don't know what happened between you and Travis but you should just here him out" Lily whispers.
"Funny, this coming from the girl who's in love with him. You should be happy."
"What?"
"Lily -- please. You left your notebook last night at Mickey's when you ran off. I read what you wrote."
"No I…ok fine. I like Travis but Travis is my friend and I don't want to loose that. Plus, he's deeply in love with you. You're all he talks about."
"Is that why your were crying yesterday?"
"Yes, but I'm over it now and I don't want to see Travis get hurt."
"So you want us to stay together?" Sam said raising an eyebrow.
"Believe it or not I do" Lily said quite confidently. With that Sam raises her hand and asks to be excused and the teacher lets her go.
Sam makes her way down the hall checking for Waller while trying to remember where the library is. The school is still new to her and she never went to the library from this wing of the building. Finally she reaches it and opens the door. As she walks in and looks for Travis she spots him in the corner and sits down next to him. He pulls a book from behind him.
"Remember this? You dropped it when I first met you. And this?" He said pulling out the Lauryn Hill CD. "We kissed for the first time to this"
"Travis, what did you want to tell me?" Sam said not interested in what he was showing her.
"I know how it must've of seemed and felt to you…"
"Oh really your psychic now? Is that some inner eye Buddhist crap?"
"That's not fair Sam"
"Neither is that every time you come to my house you try to take advantage of me"
"I took advantage of our break up to be with you and that was wrong. I'm not in this only for that"
"I'm supposed to believe that?"
"Yes, you are. I know you know that I'm not like that even though that's how you're feeling. I'm not that kind of guy I know in your heart that you still believe that." Silence fell over them for a moment.
"I have to get back to class" Sam said getting up.
"Ok, just think about what I said. And take this." He said as he handed her that photo they took at her house the first time they talked. Sam walks out of the library as a single tear forms on her cheek and makes it's way down.
When she got back to class she shows Lily the picture.
"Awww. So do you forgive him?"
"I don't know…I ….I need to think."
Later at lunch the RFR gang is sitting together.
"So Travis did you and Sam patch things up?" Lily asked genuinely concerned.
"I don't know, I hope so, I haven't seen her since first period"
"What the matter? Spy chic found out you were a double agent. Travis by day Smog by night" Robbie laughs and Lily punches Ray in the arm. Just then Sam walks in the cafeteria and walks to Travis.
"Can I talk to you for a second?"
"Sure" Travis follows her over to the fountain.
"Listen, Travis I'm willing to give you one more shot but if something like this happens again then just forget us."
"I understand and once again I'm sorry. I never meant to hurt you. I don't know what came over me I wouldn't…"
"I know. Come here" She says and they hug. Claps and whistles are heard from a few tables away. Lily, Robbie and Ray have been watching the whole time. The two of the laugh and head back to the table hand-in-hand.

What we're gonna do right here is go back/ Way back/ Back into time/
No baby, no baby, no baby/ No, no, no/ If you take your love away from me/ I'll
go crazy/ I'll go insane/ No baby, no baby, no baby/No, no, no/ No baby, no
baby, no baby/ No, no, no/ You've got your problems baby/ And I've got mine/ Lets
just end it all by putting it together, yeah/ Then you say you love me / It don't
mean a thing/ If you cared/ You'd be there/ Like you used to be, yeah/ I'm
searching for the words to make you realize/ That I really, really want you to
stay/ Oh, yeah/ Tears of frustration I hold inside/ But if you walk away/ You'll
make this grown man cry
[CHORUS:]
Don't leave/ Don't leave me girl/ Please stay with me tonight/ Don't leave me
girl/ Please stay with me to..
Forget my pride girl/ I'm begging you/ You're my heart/ You're my soul/ You got
so much control/ My love runs deeper than the ocean it seems/ But if you sail
away/ You take the center piece of me
[Chorus]
No, no, no
[Chorus]
Stay (come on and stay with me)/ Stay (don't leave)/ Stay (oh, yeah, yeah)/ Stay
right here with me forever (I love you)
Stay (yes I do)/ Stay (I need you)/ Stay (don't leave without you)/ Stay right
here with me forever(No, oh, oh)
If you take your love away from me/ I'll go crazy, crazy, crazy insane
Stay (please stay with me)/ Stay (forever)/ Stay (forever)/ Stay right here
with me forever
(Baby don't take your love away, no, no, no, no)
Stay (stay with me)/ Stay (cuz you know I love you)/ Stay
(you know I need you)/ Stay right here with me forever/ (Yes I do, oh, yeah,
yeah, yeah)
No, no, no/ No baby, no baby, no baby
