Well I love updating really fast b/c I hate waiting for fics myself, so usually I update every day or every other day. I'm glad so many of u like it and thanks for answering my question! So here's chapter seven. And in this chapter we get to see how Jake really feels….

Chapter Seven

Jake sat stayed a little off the side of all the commotion at the bonfire the next night. His mustang eyes watched everything. He saw Jen arrive and drag Sam off to the side of the house. He noticed Dani come and go. He assumed she'd be back later when she was done at her thoroughbred farm. He saw Darrell arrive and start a conversation with Robby.

Robby. Even the guy's name made him sick.

He hadn't liked the guy since the day he showed up and told everyone he was with Sam. He wasn't so sure why though.

You totally know why! The little voice reared his ugly head once again.

Why's that?

You don't want anyone with Sam because you LIKE her.

I do not! I'm with Dani, remember?

You used to like her, before she left for San Francisco. Remember?

Of course I liked her. I kissed her didn't I?

And you still do.

I have Dani now.

You couldn't care less about Dani.

That's not true!

Well you care about Dani, but not in the way you care about Sam.

I am not having this conversation with myself. Jake silenced the battle raging within him. No matter the reason, he didn't like Robby. He didn't like the fact that he was the one that held Sam close. He didn't like seeing his arms around her waist. Shoot, he didn't like seeing Robby anywhere near Sam. No matter what he told himself, he was jealous.

But he wasn't going to let everyone know that. He was a cowboy; he could hide his feelings. But for how long?

--------------------------

As soon as Sam arrived at the party, Jen grabbed her by the shirtsleeve and dragged her away, towards the side of the house. "So," Jen began, not able to be patient any longer, "Talk."

Sam sighed. She had thought long and hard about this. She still wasn't sure whether to tell Jen that she wasn't really dating Robby, or to let her believe that it was a real relationship. To be on the safe side, Sam decided to go with the latter. "I met Robby in San Francisco. We liked each other and tada! We're dating."

Jen didn't look convinced. "What aren't you telling me?"

Sam sighed and decided lying to her best friend wasn't an option. "That it's all a fraud and I'm only doing it to make Jake jealous?"

Jen laughed out loud. "That makes more since. I knew you weren't giving up on Jake that easily."

Sam laughed with her friend. "Don't tell a soul." She ordered. "Not even…" Sam looked around to make sure no one was nearby. "…Darrell."

"Shut up." Jen said, dragging Sam back to the front of the house to join the Robby and Darrell. They had started a conversation about cars. Sam didn't have a clue what they were saying, so she tuned them out.

"Okay everybody are you ready to get this bonfire burning?" Dani called as she got of her car with a few supplies she had forgotten when she'd been here earlier.

Jake came over from where he had been standing alone and joined the rest of the group as mumbled chorus' of 'Yea!' and 'Let's go' and 'Hurry up!' were being shouted.

Since it was already getting dark, Jake took the matches from Dani and passed them around; each person got one match. Jake struck his against the box. The others did the same. Then, as if it had been planned, each teenager threw their match into the pile of wood at the same time. A great wall of fire sprung up, blinding the teens and scorching anything that came to close. Within seconds the fire had died down to a smaller, more manageable flame. The six friends sat in a circle around the campfire. Robby sat on a log his arms around Sam, who sat between his legs at his feet. On the other side of the fire, Jake and Dani sat in a similar position. Jen and Darrell sat wherever there was room. With the fire crackling the teenagers talked a bit. Sam wasn't really listening until she heard her name mentioned.

"So Sammy, how long have you been with Robby?" Darrell asked her.

Sam looked up at Robby; they hadn't talked about this. "Umm…about…how long's it been baby?"

Robby's 'two years' overlapped Sam's 'one year'.

"Uh…" Robby said when he noticed their mistake and realized everyone was looking at them. "I've known her for two years…"

"….But we've been dating about a year now." Sam finished. No one seemed suspicious about the fact they had given them two different answers. 'Nice save.' Sam mouthed to Robby.

"Well," Darrell said. "We-" he gestured to himself and Jake, "have known her longer, especially Jake. And we know of some things Sammy has done that she probably doesn't want her boyfriend to know."

Jake caught on to where Darrell was going with this. Even though he still wasn't sure what his feelings were for Sam; he couldn't resist the opportunity to tease her. "Yea, like on her father's wedding day, I had to stick her head in the horse…."

"Okay" Sam jumping up and running around to the other side of the fire so she could put her hand over Jake's mouth. "We've heard enough." She looked into Jake's eyes, sparking with laughter and couldn't keep the smile from her face.

Jake reached up and grabbed her wrist, pulling her hand off his mouth "But, I'm sure people would love to know about how you looked exactly like a drowned rat…."

Sam covered his mouth with her other hand. "Hush." She commanded. "People don't want to know about none of that."

Robby reached over and pulled Sam into his lap. "Of course we want to know." He said, kissing the top of her head. "We would love to know embarrassing details of your life."

Sam laughed as Robby pulled her higher up into his lap and hugged her close.

Just like that, all the laughter left Jake's eyes. He couldn't stand seeing them together. " 'Scuse me." He mumbled as he got up and walked away.

No one said anything to him and he was glad to the leave the conversation –recently turned back to the topic of cars, that had the girls looking pretty bored- behind. He stopped when he reached the barn; he was in the shadows and couldn't be seen well, but he could see Sam and Robby clearly.

He wasn't supposed to feel like this. Nauseated, sick to his stomach. He thought of Dani; his girlfriend. When he thought of Dani, he didn't feel a rush of happiness like he used to. And when he thought of Dani with another guy, no overwhelming feeling rushed over him.

The case was different when he thought of Sam. When he pictured Sam when they were younger or even now, before Robby came along, he felt the smile spread across his face. A wave of happiness washed over him. Sam had the power to make him happier than anyone else could. But when someone holds the power to be able to make you that happy, they also hold the power to make you the saddest you've ever been. And that's exactly how he felt when he looked at Sam, wrapped up in Robby's arms. An overwhelming feeling of nausea and sickness rushed threw him. He hated the thought of Sam with anyone but himself. Only one thought came Jake from running up to Robby and punching the daylights out of him –Sam wants to be with him.

Little did he know, that was farther from the truth than anything he'd thought all night.

-----------

well review and tell me how much you loved/hated it! I don't even have the next chapters typed up, but I do have them planned out so I hope I can update soon.

WARNING: the next few chapters of this story are going to have songs in them, probably you could call them songfics. Don't ask me why, b/c I don't know, probably b/c I have recently become obbsessed w/ songs and I get inspired while listening to them.

If you don't like songfis, then I'm incredibly sorry and it sucks to be you. (I mean this in a nice way of course.)
