Chapter Forty-Five: A New Start

Kylie turns away from the coffee maker when she hears the front door to her apartment open. Sam stepped through after her morning run and smiled at her slightly.

"Good run?"

Sam pulls out her ear buds from her ears and takes out her iPod from her pocket and wraps her ear buds around it.

"Yeah, it was. It gave me time to think." Sam looks around the apartment and noticed that it was extremely clean. "And by the looks of it, so have you."

When Kylie needed to think she would clean.

"I made coffee," Kylie says as she hands Sam a cup. Sam takes a seat and a sip form her coffee.

"Thanks," Sam sets the cup on the counter. "We have both been thinking this morning so I think maybe we should talk. We can settle of this stuff."

Kylie takes a seat next to Sam.

"As much as I don't want to say it I have too. I think our relationship has run its course."

"Is it bad if I admit the same thing?" Sam questions with an awkward laugh.

"I slept with Meredith," Kylie admits.

Sam closes her eyes and nods her head.

"I kissed Kelsey."

"I'm sorry," both say at the same time.

Kylie reaches for Sam's hand and Sam interlocks their fingers.

"In high school you were my crush. You knew it. I knew it and Kelsey knew it, but I never thought that I would get a chance to be with you and then a few years later I did and we lasted a few years after that and I just want you to know that these last few years have been really good for me. I love you Samantha and I never thought our love would turn into a love you would have for a best friend, but it did, but I can't feel bad about it because I know that we can go back to being friends without any regrets. I'm just honored that I got a chance to call you my girlfriend."

Sam runs her thumbs along Kylie's hand.

"Thank you for saying that, but I can't help but feel bad because I knew somewhere deep down that Kelsey was still in my heart."

"Kelsey is in your heart."

Sam nods her head.

"She is in my heart, but I feel bad because when I was with you it should have been about you and it wasn't."

"Sam, I don't think there would have been a good time to start our relationship. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy that we did, but I have to admit that both of us had love elsewhere. It just wasn't a good time."

Sam brings up Kylie's hand and kisses it softly before letting go. She took a sip of her now cold coffee and sighed.

"I hope you and Meredith find happiness with each other."

"The same could go for you and Kelsey."

"I don't think that's going to happen," Sam says sadly. "I went to see her before coming home and she kind of slammed the door in my face."

"I'm sorry Sam."

Sam shrugs her shoulders.

"It's okay. I can spend my single life writing and figuring out what the hell we are going to do with our apartment in New York and this one right here."

"You should stay in this apartment. I can find a place or depending on how things go with Meredith I can stay with her. As for the one in New York we should sell it and split the profits."

"This sucks. I feel like a part of my life is ending."

"No, just a relationship."

-Defying Gravity-

Kylie stood nervously outside Meredith's house door. After her long conversation with Sam she knew she had to make things right with Meredith. She was ready for this. She was ready to let Meredith all the way in. She loved Meredith like she loved Sam. Maybe even a little bit more. She was ready.

Meredith opened the door and frowned at Kylie.

"What do you want?"

"To talk," Kylie offered softly.

"I think we talked enough last night when you basically told me that we can't see each other despite being in love. What's there to talk about?"

"I made a mistake," Kylie says. "But I'd rather not talk about this where your neighbors can see. Can I just talk to you inside?"

Meredith closes her eyes and sighs.

"You get one more chance and that's it."

Kylie nods her head and walks inside as Meredith closes the door.

"My relationship with Sam has always had a pinch of difficulty to it. The other night I wanted to break things off with her. It was right after we made love and I had thought I had come to a decision in my life, but the truth was I didn't. Sam told me she wanted us to spend some time together and that was the first time in a long while that she was doing something to try and save a relationship."

Meredith sits down on her couch and tries not to roll her eyes. She really didn't want to listen about Kylie's relationship with Sam.

"But last night Sam and I knew that anything we had together was over."

Meredith's eyes snapped up from the floor and Kylie sits down next to Meredith.

"I love you. That love has never gone away I just buried it as much as I could and with Sam and I realizing that our relationship was over made me really think about what my heart really wanted and all that I could come up with was you. You were my first everything Meredith and I want you to be my last everything."

"Is this real right now?" Meredith asks not really believing what Kylie was saying.

"It's real," Kylie says before placing her lips on Meredith's.

Meredith pulled away with a smile.

"I love you!"

Kylie grinned in return before connecting their lips once more.

-Defying Gravity-

Kelsey was driving around town in her squad car when a scene on a nearby sidewalk made her stop instantly and pull over. Kelsey sat in the car stunned at what she was seeing and instantly her protectiveness was coming out. Kylie was busy sucking face off of someone that wasn't Sam.

Kelsey stormed out of her car and grabbed Kylie by the shoulder and pushed her up against a building wall.

"Hey! What are you doing?"

Kelsey ignored the shouts from the other woman and she locked eyes with Kylie.

"How could you do that to her?"

"How could you continue to ignore her?" Kylie asks in return despite having Kelsey's arm in front of her neck.

"You're cheating on Sam. Don't you realize how lucky you have it? Sam is an amazing person and you are throwing it away for someone that isn't her. Are you an idiot?"

Kylie pushes Kelsey away from her. She looks at Meredith and gives her a small smile to indicate that she was okay.

"Look, I'm not cheating on Sam okay. She doesn't love me at least not like she used to and the same goes for me. Sam and I ended our relationship last week. Get your head out of your ass and go and get your girl Officer Daniels," Kylie says with a slight grin.

Kelsey looks from Kylie to Meredith and back to Kylie. She slowly lets out a smile.

"It's Detective Daniels," Kelsey says before running back to her car and throwing on the sirens. She needed to get to Sam.

-Defying Gravity-

Sam rushes to her front door when she hears the continuous pounding. She had been in the middle of writing another chapter, but was startled when the pounding started.

"Excuse me?" Sam yells as she opens the door, but is surprised to see Kelsey standing there. "Kelsey, what are you doing here?"

"Shut up!" Kelsey says as she walks into the apartment and shuts the door with her foot.

"You are being very rude right now. I was in the middle of writing and you can't just walk in here a-a," Kelsey stopped Sam's ranting by placing a finger on her lip.

"I said shut up."

Sam stops talking and Kelsey removes her finger from Sam's lips. Kelsey and Sam just stand in front of each other not saying a word. Kelsey couldn't take it any longer though so she grabs Sam's shirt and brings her forward so their bodies collided. Their lips connected and everything fell into place.
