Here's the thing about fanfiction. Seems to me like the less reviews you get, the less people like it. Well on my last chapter, I didn't get as many reviews as I usually do. If that means you hate it, then I still want you to review and tell me that. If I ever read a story I didn't exactly care for, I'd tell them. So what kind of person would I be if I didn't accept flaming reviews myself? A hypocrite. And yea, I know I am one, but I'm working on changing that 'cuz I hate hypocrites so it wouldn't be good if I was one. So even if you hate this chapter. (Which I'm not exactly fond of this one myself, but I feel it needed to happen even though it didn't.) Anywho, even if you hate review and tell me how much you liked this story before I posted this chapter and how you think that it ruins the whole story. If that's how you really feel, I can take it and want to hear to say it. Honest, I won't be mad or even hurt. I'll just see how I can change the story around to make it better because that's what I'm here for. To improve my writing skills.

Chapter Eleven

"Jen, why am I here?" Sam asked her friend as she led her into Clara's. "I'm not hungry-"

Right on cue, Jake and Darrell walked in the building. Jen pretended to be surprised. "Hey, guys. What are you doing here?"

"Came to grab a bite to eat." Darrell responded.

"Great. Why don't you join us?" Jen and Darrell led the way to a table in the back.

Jake chanced a glance at Sam, before quickly glancing away. Sam was staring daggers through at Jen. Both Sam and Jake saw this for what it was. A set up. No way. Sam thought. I cannot sit through an entire meal with Jake. I can't do it. He's hurt me enough. Not now. While I'm trying to get over him.

Aw, man. Jake groaned inwardly. Not now. Not with Sam. I won't be able to resist her. I'm trying to get over her. I can't do this right now.

Neither Sam nor Jake kept up much of a conversation. Darrell and Jen tried their best, but it wasn't enough. Sam would glance at Jake before quickly glancing back down at her plate of untouched food. Jake would steal a few glances between long stares at his plate as well. Sam knew Jake was watching her. Just like he knew she was looking at her.

Finally Sam couldn't take it any longer. "Come with me." She dragged Jen away from the table and to the girl's bathroom.

"I know what you're doing, but I can't. Sam checked the stalls to make sure they were alone. "Jen I can't!"

Jen sighed. "What are you talking about?"

"That-" Sam pointed outside. "- setup thing. I know you and Darrell set this up." Sam buried her face in her hands. "I can't do it, Jen. Jake, he really…"Sam looked up and tried not to cry. "He really hurt me. And I think I love him and that hurts too. I'm sorry Jen but I can't do this right now."

Jen gave her friend a hug. "Fine. Go on home and I'll make up some excuse about bad hamburger or something."

"Thanks, Jen. You rock." Sam walked out of the bathroom and without one glance at the boys back at the table left the building.

While Sam and Jen were having their talk in the bathroom, Jake and Darrell were having a similar conversation.

Darrell glanced at Jake, who was glaring a hole through him. "What?"

"Man, what are you doing?" Jake said. "I told you last night that I think I'm in love with her. And she hates me. I'm sorry dude, but I can't be here with her, not now. I've have to go." Jake got up and walked out the door.

Jen came out of the bathroom and went back to the table. "Sam wasn't feeling well."

"Neither was Jake." Darrell responded.

"Bad hamburger." They said at the same time.

Jen burst out laughing then grew serious. "She told me she loved him."

Darrell sighed. "He told me he loved her."

Jen sighed and shrugged. "Well we tried."

Darrell nodded and stared off in the direction that Sam and Jake had gone. "Let's just hope it's enough."

-----

I know this chapter didn't have much of a point. I just wanted to do this so I could show you that Sam and Jake are both kinda moping around because they think the other one hates them. My next chapter might even be up today if I get at least a wee bit of reviews. I'm going on vacation for a few days and won't be able to update so I was kinda hoping To at least make it to chapter twelve before then. And on my last Author's note for chapter 1o, when I said there would be at least 16 chapters LEFT. I lied. I meant there would be at least 16 chapters all together. Sorry about that. Anywho, remember what I said, even if you hate it, I want to hear about it! And I think I've already taught you how to click on the review button. I know you know how because I've seen you do it. So if I may ask one thing: Do it again!
