"I mean I know she liked him and he liked her" Sam stops to blow her nose. "I just never thought…"She starts to sob into Robbie's shoulder again as they sit on a bench in a nearby park and he's not sure whether or not to touch her.
I should put my arm around her…No…Maybe I should pat her head? No! She's not a dog!
Just as Robbie decides to put his hand on her shoulder…
"What happened?!" A stern vice came from a tall figure towering over them.
*sniff* "Mike?" she said looking up. She throws herself at him.
"What happened Sammy?" he asked picking her head up.
"Travis…he was kissing Lily…we broke up….Robbie and I.." her words were choked through the crying.
"Shh it's ok" he said rubbing her back. "You Robbie?" he asked with a nod.
"Yea" Robbie answered hoping it wouldn't get him in trouble.
"I'm Sam's brother"
"Nice to meet you I…"
"I'm going to take her home, thanks for looking out man" he said picking her up to carry her home.
"Uhh yea sure" Robbie says as Mike walks away carrying Sam.
"Thanks Mike" she says snuggling into his shoulder. As she lay there in his arms he couldn't help thinking about Travis. Images of Travis and Lily together, the notebook, him and Lily talking together. They haunted her, taunting her refusing to leave her alone, even as she crawled up in her bed she just laid there in the fetal position.

my immortal/ I'm so
tired of being here/ suppressed by all of my childish fears/ and if you have to
leave/ i wish that you would just leave/ because your
presence still lingers here/ and it won't leave me alone/ these wounds won't
seem to heal/ this pain is just too real/ there's just too much that time
cannot erase
when you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears/ when you'd scream I'd fight
away all of your fears/ and I've held your hand through all of these years/ but
you still have all of me
…your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams/ your voice it chased away all the
sanity in me/ these wounds won't seem to heal/ this pain is just too real/
there's just too much that time cannot erase
when you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears/ when you'd scream I'd fight
away all of your fears/ and I've held your hand through all of these years/ but
you still have all of me….
