Chapter 6 - Words That Hurt
Sam sat in her room fiddling with a pencil. She couldn't concentrate on her homework or anything else for that matter. There was a knock on her bedroom door.
"Yeah?"
Janet walked in with a pizza and two cokes. Her face plastered with a friendly smile.
"Me and Daniel thought you could do with some cheering up. Daniel's just locking the car."
Sam smiled and pushed her books off the bed so they had some room to sit down. Daniel knocked on the door and entered when he saw Janet was already inside.
"Hey Sam"
"Hi"
Janet walked over to Sam's cd collection and picked out a random cd.
"I love this song"
I feel like i've been locked up tight for a century of lonely nights,
waiting for someone to release me
Daniel and Sam burst into a fit of laughter as Janet started to do her impression of Christina Aguilera. Janet swayed her hips and blew kisses at Daniel.
'God is it right to be turned on like this. Wow look at that bu..body. I think im gonna faint.'
"Daniel, Daniel"
Sam waved her hand in front of his face.
"What?"
Sam smiled.
"Just tell her."
"I've got nothing to tell her."
"Oh come on. You two obviously have an attraction so why don't you act on it?"
Daniel went bright red.
"I have no idea what you're talking about."
(Jack's house)
Jack handed Anise a glass of water.
"Why are you here?"
"I wanted to be near you. Jack i love you and i know you love me."
Jack moved a little further from Anise.
"Don't you think we're a little young to be in love?"
"Jack, love doesn't care about age. It cares about what we both feel."
Jack looked down at the floor.
"But we live miles away from each other. Im not very good at the whole long distance thing."
Anise smiled.
"I know. That's why my dad is paying for a flat for me. Im going to go to the highschool you're attending. Don't worry i've taken care of everything"
Jack smiled a fake smile.
"Great"
(Sams house)
"I think if i could lick chocolate of anyone it would be Justin Timberlake."
Janet went off into one of her little fantasies.
"Daniel have you seen Jack tonight?"
"Nope."
Daniel noticed the Sam had been biting her nails. Sam never bit her nails, they normally looked so perfect and polished.
"Did you see him at the park?"
Daniel and Sam made eye-contact.
"You knew he was going to be there. How?"
"I told him that you would be there."
Daniel took Sam's hand.
"Go see him. I'll get Janet home."
Sam smiled and squeezed his hand.
"Thank you."
(Jack house)
"I must say i was scared of you going off with another girl."
Jack refused to make eye contact with Anise. He had gone off with another girl. Ok so him and Sam weren't exactly a couple or on best terms but they had kissed and he knew that she liked him.
"Is there another girl?"
'maybe she'll go back if i tell her about Sam.'
Jack got up and started pacing.
"Actually Anise..."
Anise got up and started backing him into a corner.
"Yes?"
Jack felt his back touch the wall.
"There's this girl from...."
Jack was saved when the doorbell rang.
"I better get that."
Anise pressed her hand against his chest.
"Relax i'll go and take care of it."
Anise left the livingroom giving Jack room to breathe. She approached the door and opened it.
"Can i help you?"
Jack stood by the livingroom door.
"Is Jack here?"
"He's kind of busy right now."
"Oh. I'll see him tomorrow then."
Sam turned away to walk down the steps but Jack ran out.
"No im not busy anymore."
Sam turned back around to face Jack and let out a sheepish smile. Jack smiled back.
"You must be freezing. Come in."
Sam walked in and closed the door behind her.
"Was i interrupting anything?"
"No! I always have time for you."
Sam blushed and Anise let out a little cough.
"Oh sorry. Anise this is Sam. Sam this is Anise."
Sam put out her hand.
"It's nice to meet you."
Anise didn't reply and simply brushed her hand off.
"You didn't tell me that it was Daniel who told you where i walk my dog."
"How do you know?"
"He told me. Janet and him are around my house now."
Sam fiddled with her fingers a little uncomfortable with a third party listening.
"Do you want to go in the kitchen and talk?"
"Yeah. That would be great."
Jack showed Sam to the kitchen and came back to Anise.
"If you want you can go and i'll call you in the morning."
Anise smiled and sat down on the couch.
"I'll wait."
Jack sighed and walked into the kitchen. He shut the door behind him so that Anise couldn't listen.
"Listen im sorry if i came at a bad time"
Jack pulled a seat out for Sam.
"No you didn't. Im sorry about Anise, she's not exactly the most polite person in the world."
Sam nodded and sat down.
"I came by to apologise. I know you're just trying to be a friend and believe me i appreciate that. Im a little confused right now to what is actually going on with me and Graham and.."
"and what?"
"After our little fight tonight i couldn't stop thinking about you. That's not true, i haven't stopped thinking about you since our kiss."
"I haven't been able to stop thinking about you since i saw you walk in the classroom. I thought all my wishes had come true at once."
Jack took Sam's hand.
"What is stopping us?"
Sam pulled her hand away.
"I know nothing about you and you know nothing about me.."
"So?"
"So i know Graham and he knows me and as hard as it is for some people to believe he..we actually do care for each other."
"Sam stop. I can't listen to this cause i want to be more than your friend."
Sam tore her eyes away from Jacks. A couple of tears lightly rolled down her cheek.
"You must think im a right whore. Im with Graham and leading you on at the same time and god knows how many others i've accidentally attracted."
Jack moved closer to Sam and raised her chin with his middle finger.
"Don't you ever say you're a whore cause you're not. You are the most beautiful girl i've ever seen and Graham doesn't know how lucky he is. Also i didn't accidentally fall for you, i wanted to fall for you."
Sam could feel Jack getting closer to her. She pulled her seat back before one thing led to another.
"I better go and see if Daniel managed to get Janet home. The bubbles from the coke went to her head."
Sam got up.
"I'll see you tomorrow."
"Yeah. Go. Go get some sleep."
"I'll show myself out."
Sam brushed her hand lightly on Jack's cheek and walked out. Jack slammed his hand on the table.
"Damn it!"
Sam sat in her room fiddling with a pencil. She couldn't concentrate on her homework or anything else for that matter. There was a knock on her bedroom door.
"Yeah?"
