True Love
Chapter 3
Three days have past since the Xana attack. It was almost breakfast, Sam was sitting on her bed in her dorm thinking about the past few days. Ulrich has finally accepted her as a friend and she was part of the group, she couldn't be happier. There was one thought on her mind and that was Odd, she hasn't gotten over the break up and she is glad that they could still be friends, but what she wanted more than anything was too be more than that and she knows that it was unlikely that would happen. She had broken them up and it was her fault, and all the guilt has tore her up inside.
Flashback
Odd was making his way to Sam's school, she had invited him to a dance. He made his way to the school lobby and headed for the gymnasium. When he got there he was scanning the room looking for Sam, he was 20 minutes late and he knew that she would be mad for being late. When he finally found her, she was in the back of the gym in a corner and she was kissing another boy. "No, it can't be her," Odd thought to himself hoping he wasn't seeing what he thinks he's seeing. There was no denying it was her, it seems that she is returning the kiss. Odd's heart had sank to his feet, his world fell apart right before his eyes, as he was watching his eyes started to water, he just turned around and walk out of the gym and out of the school. Just as he was walking back the tears had finally made their way down is cheeks, he couldn't belieive the girl that he loved was passionately kissing another guy, he went back to Kadic with a broken heart.
After the dance had ended, Sam went to her room, she was upset that Odd didn't show up because he would never be late for a date. Then the thought came to her that maybe he did show, and it was possible that he saw her kissing another guy. "I hope he didn't see that, I have to talk to him and explain," she said to herself aloud. She picked up her cellphone and dialed Odds number hoping that he would let her explain.
Ring! Ring!( Boy that sounds so corny, but hey that's what phones do right!)
"Hello", Odd responded with a unhappy tone. "Odd how come you didn't show up, she replied back to him. "For your information I did but I saw that you had other plans so there was no reason for me to stick around," he shouted back . "You know what I'm talking about, he said not letting her get a word in. "Odd, please let me ex---,"she was cut off. "Explain," he finished for her. " There is no reason to explain, he kissed you and you kissed him, I think that about explains it. "Odd he kissed me, he came on to me, I never made the first move, she shouted trying to get him to understand.
"Really, then why did you kiss back, he replied back. Sam just paused when he said that, realizing that she did kiss back, it was her fault. "I don't know Odd, I don't know what I was thinking, I'm sorry," she muttered out as she was breaking into tears. " Please forgive me Odd," she said her voice starting to break. "I think its a bit too late for apologies, and you expect me to forgive you for what you did, I may have been a player, but I have never cheated on you ever because I love you, but now I see you for who you really are," he said. "As of now Sam, we are through and I don't want see you again, good luck in the future."
"Odd please don't do this, I do love you, I made a mistake I know but don't leave me like this," she spat out as she was sobbing. But the only response from Odd was a click as the call ended. "What have I done, I'm sorry," she said to herself crying on her bed with her face buried in her pillow.
End of Flashback
Sam got up and went to Ulrich's room, if anyone knew Odd best it would be his best friend. She needed advice and she knew Ulrich would be the one to help her. She made her way to Ulrich and Odd's room. She knockd on the door.
"Who is it," Ulrich responded on the other side of the door. " It's Sam, can I come in," she said. "Sure, the door's open," he replied to her. She opened the door, lucky for her Odd wasn't in the dorm because she wanted to talk to Ulrich alone. " I need to talk to you about something," she said hesitating a bit. " What about," he replied back. She paused for a second to find her words. "About Odd, she said softly enough for Ulrich to hear. She felt lost, she couldn't find the words. "You still love him don't you," he said breaking the silence. She nodded as she sat on his bed next to him.
"I want us to be together again, I wish things were like they were before, but I know they never will be," she said starting to cry. " Do you think he still loves me," she added. "Well I really don't know, there's only one way to find out Sam, you have to ask him, only then will you have your answer," he replied. "I don't know if I can, what if he doesn't," she said doubting herself. " At least you know the truth, but I have a feeling deep down inside that he does," Ulrich responded. She smiled at him and nodded. She left Ulrich and Odd's dorm to find Odd. She had to know the truth, does he still love her, or does he love her only as a friend? Only one way for her to know for sure.
She left the dorm building in search for Odd. She was thinking of a way to tell him how she felt about him, but she was afraid that he might reject her, but if he did she would understand. After all she was the reason why they broke up in the first place, but there is always hope. Hope that they feel the same way about each other, hope that they could be together again, but will fate keep them apart or draw them together, that remains to be determined.
Finally she found him at the cafeteria(where else would Odd be?), she stopped dead in her tracks, she saw Odd talking to another girl. They seemed to be talking and laughing, it seemed like they were enjoying each others company. Then Odd suddenly leaned over and kissed her on the lips and stayed that way for about 30 seconds. Sam couldn't believe what she saw, she felt her whole world fall right down on her. She walked away before she started running as tears rolled down her cheeks. She finally stopped when she reached her dorm room, she went in and fell down on her bed crying her heart out. "I thought he stilled loved me," she sobbed out talking to herself. "I guess he's over me." Her hopes and dreams were crumbled like piece of paper and thown in the trash, she realized that it was too late, she had lost all hope.
A few hour have passed and it was dinner time, the gang were sitting at the table eating and chatting. "Where's Sam, I haven't seen her since breakfast," Odd said with food in his mouth. " She's been in her dorm most of the day," Ulrich replied. Of course Ulrich had an idea why she was in her dorm all day, he forgot to tell her about Odd's new girlfriend. "I go check on her when I finished," Odd replied. Just Odd was done eating he put away the tray and went off to Sams room." What is wrong with Sam," Jeremie asked Ulrich. " Well Jer, let's just say that Sam still loves Odd, and she might of found out about his girlfriend," Ulrich answered back. " I can tell this going to be a bad week," Jeremie replied with a sigh.
Flashback
Sam walked all the way to Kadic to confront Odd, he needed to hear her side of the story. She didn't want their relationship to end on a bitter note, she loves him and she needed to try to make things right again. Finally when she reached the school, she saw Odd on the bench with the rest of the group, she went up to confront him and try to resolve thier problems. "Odd," Sam said to him. Odd was not happy to see her, he felt betrayed. "What do you want," Odd said with a cold tone. "I need to talk to you alone, please, she said pleading him to let her explain. He let out a cold sigh and walked away from the gang.
"What in I don't want to see you anymore do you not understand, I thought I made myself clear," he said talking only loud enough for her to hear. "Odd please just hear me out, I've walked all the way over here to see you, please, she pleaded. He sighed and gave in. "Fine, talk and be on your way," he responded. " Like I told you before Odd, I didn't kiss that guy he came on to me, he kissed me and I know I kissed back", she said explaining. "I don't know why I returned the kiss, I didn't feel anything, it meant nothing, and I've felt guilty about it, I know its my fault, but I love you Odd you have to understand that, please don't leave me I need you," she said softly as tears were down her cheeks.
"I'm sorry Sam, but I don't feel anything for you anymore, I don't love you and thats that, Odd said coldy. "Please tell me you didn't mean that Odd,"she replied now crying. " I said it and I mean what I said, I let you explain now leave me alone stay away from me," he responded. He walked away from her returning to the gang. Sam walked away then ran to the near by woods, she leaned against a tree slid down with her head in her hands crying, she realized it was over, there was no changing his mind. She was alone, one kiss, one mistake ruined it all.
End Flashback
"What's wrong with Sam now , she was okay before, I wonder what is bothering her,"Odd said thinking to himself. He made it to Sam's dorm room and sighed as he knocked on her door. "Who is it , "she responded softly as she was still sobbing. It's Odd, can I come in, he asked her. "Yeah come in, she responded. She wiped the tears of her face she did want Odd to know she was crying, but her eyes were red and puffy. Odd went and sat next to her on her bed. " How come you been in here all day, he said. She kept her head down hoping Odd would see her red eyes. "No reason, I just needed time alone that's all, she replied.
Odd didn't believe her, he knew there was something wrong. "I know your lying Sam, you've been crying, please tell me what's wrong," he asked. Tears started to fill her eyes again. "Nothing's wrong Odd I'm fine, if you don't mind I would like to be alone, please, " she said. Odd sighed. "Okay, but if you need me just stop by my dorm okay, he replied. She nodded to him. He got up and left her room. Her tears finally fell from her eyes and down her face. "If you need me", the thought went racing in her mind. She needed him not only as a friend, but also a lover, soulmate, but that part of their relationship is long gone and she had to face the cold truth.
It was past their curfew, Odd and Ulrich are about to hit the sack." Ulrich do you know why Sam's upset, I noticed that she was crying, " Odd asked. Ulrich didn't say anything, he knew the reason but he didn't want to get in the middle of things. "Ulrich do you know something, he said as he questioned Ulrich. Ulrich sighed as he knew that it was about time for him to know the truth. "Do you really want to know the truth Odd," he responded. Odd nodded and in the same time confused. "She still loves you, that's why she's been upset, she went to tell you how she felt but I'm guessing she saw you with Madeline? Odd was wondering why she didn't come to him, and then it struck him she must of saw him kissing her.
"You still love her don't you Odd, Ulrich said questioning Odd. " I don't love her, were just friends nothing more," he responded. "Your lying Odd, ever since you broke up with her you were depressed, you wouldn't even eat(of course thats hard to believe) now that she's apart of your life again, you're more happy than you've ever been in months, and I see how you look at her and I see how she looks at you, face it Odd you still love her and you can deny it all you want, fact is fact, Ulrich replied making his point. "We'll talk about it another time, good night Odd," he said as he layed down on his bed. "Good night," Odd responded back. Odd knew his friend was right he does love her and always will, but he doesn't want to go down that road of heartbreak again, now confused more than ever he doesn't know what to say to Sam. Now that he has a girlfriend, his friendship with Sam will be in jeopordy. It's hard being friends with someone that you still love, and Odd knows it all too well.
Odd and Sam just got back from their date as he was walking her home, they were walking side by side holding hands." Did you enjoy the movie, Odd asked. She smiled at him."Yes, it was wonderful," she replied. He looked at Sam from head to toe realizing how beautiful she and was lucky to have a girl like her. But he also wondered why him, she could have anyone, he isn't the most good looking guy around, and he was also goof ball and not the serious type which she was, but out of all boys she chose him. It confuses him but there's an old saying that opposites attract.
"Sometimes I think this is too good to be true," Sam said looking towards Odd. "It may seem that way but what we have is real, and our love for each other is real, and I love you, " he replied back as they sat down at a park bench. He thought this was the perfect time for to give her her gift. He smiled at her as he reached for his pocket. "Its been three months that we dated now, I think its about time that I give you this," he said as he finally took out what was in his pocket, it was a black velvet box. He opened it up. "This is for you my love," he told her. It was a beautiful heart pendant with diamonds surrounding it, she looked at the back of it, there is words engraved into it which read " My Only True Love". (The title of the story is finally mentioned)
She had tears of happiness in her eyes. "Thank you Odd, I love you, she said with love in her voice. "I love you too," he responded back. He took the pendant and put it around her neck and hooked the clasp. At the right moment he leaned over towards her and gently pressed his lips onto hers and kissed, she returned the kiss. He was licking her lips hoping for access to her mouth, she gave in as their tongues had a wrestling match. They kissed like that for a minute and pull away when oxygen was a necessity. They blushed as they looked away from each other. Odd looked at his watch and noticed that it was getting late. "I don't want this night to end but we better get you home before your parents worry," he said. They got up as he took her hand in his and walked her home.
End Flash back
Odd got up it was5:30 in the morning, he got off his bed deciding to shower early than he usually does, as he opened the door he saw a pendant necklace on the floor near his and Ulrich's door and recongnized it, it was the heart pendant that he gave Sam. There was a note on the floor and he picked it up and went back in the dorm and closed the door. Hewemtand sat on the edge of his bed and read the note.
I decided to give this back to you Odd, I don't deserve this. I know that you found someone else maybe this gift would suit your new love, I wish you luck with your new girlfriend. I still love you Odd but it's time for me to let you go.
Sam
He dropped the note on the floor, feeling guilt, he pick up the pendant and looked at it closely and looked on the back of it and it read "My Only True Love", tears came down from his eyes feeling like it was his fault, he should of forgave her, they could of fixed their problems but he just threw her away, something that he regretted. He had to move on, but is he ready?
