Chapter 9: "While the weak ones fade"
Meg awoke in an unfamiliar bed with a pair of strong arms wrapped around her. The night before was a blur… She lay as though paralyzed in bed staring at the ceiling. Suddenly Sam, who she now deducted was lying beside her began to stir.
"Meg?" He asked his eyes cracking open.
Meg didn't move, nor did she meet his eyes.
"Do you need anything?" He asked, Meg still didn't respond
Sam slid out of bed and kneeled beside her momentarily before he left to find Roxanne. He found her sitting at a table taking long smooth sips of coffee, her eyes locked to another world.
"Hey." Sam said fixing his dress shirt. They were all still dressed from prom
"Is she up?" Roxanne asked
Sam nodded.
"I tried to talk to her but she didn't say anything…" Sam said looking at Roxanne who was just as baffled by the matter as he was. "I should have taken her to the dance, this wouldn't have happened…"
"Don't make this your fault Sam it's not. There would have been trouble too if you had taken her and you know that." Roxanne said
"I just don't know what to do." Sam admitted
"I don't either."
"She might talk to you." Sam said sitting at the table.
Roxanne shrugged.
"I guess it's worth a shot."
Roxanne walked quietly made her way into the room.
"Hey." She said sitting next to Meg on the bed. "How are you feeling?" Meg shrugged in response.
Meg sat up slowly and turned to look at her friend.
"I can't believe that he almost did that to me…" Meg said
"ALMOST!" Roxanne screamed "You mean he didn't-"
"NO!" Meg cut her off.
"I thought that he-"
"Almost... He was very close…" Meg said in a softer voice. "He heard you and Sam come out and then he sped off. If you had come out seconds later…" Meg said closing her eyes as she remembered what had happened the night before.
Sam who had been listening from the doorway came in.
"Are, are um, you alright?" He asked in a shy way
"Yeah, I'll be fine. I'm, still just, I don't know, shaken up."
Sam nodded.
Roxanne looked back and forth between the two and decided it was one of those moments to leave the couple alone.
"I'll be in the kitchen." Roxanne said kissing Meg on the forehead before leaving.
"Thanks Rox." Meg said smiling at her best friend before she left Roxanne winked at her.
Meg patted a spot on the bed next to her for Sam to sit. Sam hesitated for a second before he sat down.
"I was really worried." He confessed.
"Yeah, it was really scary…" Meg said looking at Sam.
"I've been thinking. I don't want to hide this anymore, us."
"You know what will happen Sam. Nobody wants us to be together. Nobody."
"We want to be together right?" Sam asked
"Of course!" Meg said slightly insulted that he would even ask.
"Well then that's all that matters." He said kissing her forehead. "I'm tired of this. I'm telling my dad tonight."
