"WAIT. " I yelled out and tried to wiggle out of his arms to the ground. He slowed down and looked at me, opening his mouth as I put my pointer over it.

"Sshshshsssh. Sammy, sh." I shushed him and attempted to swing myself out of his arms. Eventually he just let me down, looking at me with a raised brow as he crossed his arms and leaned on a nearby tree. I looked around at where we were, and tried to listen for cars or peoples voices. I decided we weren't showing up with me in his arms, Leah'd be so mad.

"Kai, what are you doing?" He asked incredulously as I licked my finger and stuck it up in the air. I was trying to read which way the wind was coming from because wind happened on beaches right?

"I'M GETTING COORDINATES, SAMUEL." I was annoyed with all his questions and speaking, as I yelled back in his general direction and heard him sigh and take a few quick steps. I started to turn to plant my hands on my hips when he swooped my legs from under me. We were running again. Jackass.

I committed myself to laying here and looking up at the trees and eventually the night sky. I could hear people laughing and talking, there was music and the smell of smoke.

"Woo, Sam. Look at you, carrying your lady and all that." I tried to turn around as Sam set me gently on the ground, still holding onto me through my waist. I was leaning on him and grinning as Paul. He didn't look so grumpy today.

"Pauly! You don't look grumpy today." I said merrily and leapt out of Sam's grip as he tried to snag the back of my dress. NO SUCH LUCK, HAH! I tried to hug Paul's face by standing on my tippy toes but I sunk down into the sand which resulted in me hugging around his biceps. Paul stared down at me and began to grin, looking back at Sam as I heard Sam groan.

"Do I get a hug too?" Jared tapped me on the arm and motioned to himself, pouting.

"Yes!" I let go of Paul to latch onto Jared's arm. He smelled good too.

"Is she seriously high?" Paul asked through the snorts and chuckles.

"She was nervous about being around Leah and popped a xanax when I wasn't looking." Sam grumbled. He sounded annoyed and I couldn't see him to see his expression. I realized I wasn't breathing so I breathed in and holy shit.

"Oh my gawd, you smell good too." I said as I took in a deep breath, I felt Jareds hands slide down my shoulder to my lower back. His chest was vibrating and shaking. He was laughing.

"Alright, thats enough." I heard Sam coarsely as he grabbed a bit of the back of my dress and pulled me towards him, wrapping his arm around my waist again. This time I just hugged his arm and leaned on him, grinning happily at Paul and Jared.

I started to smell...hot dogs? Food? I tried to jump out of his grip and go for the smell but he tightened his grip and glared down at me while the other two went into giggles.

"Holy crap. I'm so glad you got matched with her, Sam." Paul was laughing hard and I rolled my eyes looking around at everything. It was darker except for some lights and the actual bonfire itself.

"Sammy." I whispered and tugged on his shirt sleeve to get his attention. He was having a conversation with Paul and Jared but I wanted food. He stopped immediately and looked down at me as he put his hand over mine to stop the tugging.

"What is it?" He asked with a raised brow and I pointed to the fire.

"Foooood. Can I go get some?" I asked motioning to his arm locked around my waist. I'd already tried to jump out again and he just tightened his grip so why not ask?

"I'll get it. You two are on guard duty." He let go of my waist gently and pointed at Paul and Jared.

"Woa, why can't she just get it?" Jared asked looking a little confused. I looked back at Sam for an answer and he gritted his teeth before responding.

"I'm afraid she'll fall into the fire." He mumbled and looked away from both of us as he turned to go and get it. My mouth dropped open and I narrowed my eyes at him.

Fine. We'll see just how friggin' good they are at 'guard duty'. There may be two of them but I was sneaky. They burst into laughter and I turned my glare into a smile. I sat down on the ground and waited until Sam was long gone.

They watched me at first but after a while they were distracted...so I booked it and made my escape. When I got far enough away I was giggling and looking behind me, they still hadn't realized it. I've never claimed to be good at looking at my surroundings so when I crashed into Leah, I swear it wasn't on purpose.

"Oh my gawd, are you okay?" I asked her from my spot on the ground where we'd collapsed and she looked up at me. Her eyes were dazed and she grinned lazily at me.

"Kai-bear!" She said with a giggle and slid over to where I was in the sand. She reeked of beer.

"Leeeaaahh." I laughed, and hugged her. She was soft still, didn't smell that great though.

"Quick, get up. I wanna see who Sam came here with. I heard these guys he hangs out with are looking for herr." She sneered and pulled me up roughly. I stumbled as I stood up, she was holding a beer.

"Can I have some?" I asked and pointed to the sandy beer. She looked down and nodded, handing it to me. I took a long swig and shivered at the carbonation.

"What were you talking about?" I asked grinning as I handed her the bottle back, dusting off the sand from my back and hands.

"I wanna see the bitch that stole, Saaammm." She emphasized and I thought back a little, pulled away from her and remembered what I came here to do.

"Leah, listen. Listen." I put a hand on her shoulder and held up my pointer to demonstrate my point. I had to repeat myself because she kept looking everywhere but me. She focused on me eventually and I took a deep breath.

"Look. I'm gonna tell you a thing but I want you to know that I am just soooo sorry. Okay?" I slurred, trying to make my mouth work. I made some smacking noises to try and wake it up. Damn. She nodded and I dragged my attention back to her.

"Its me." I informed her and she stared at me for a few seconds. We were tilting slightly to the side and I watched her as she watched me.

"You...stole Sam." She stated airly, looking at me with raised eyebrows. I nodded, reaffirming her statement. She nodded with a blank face that said 'alright.' I stared at her for a little bit, she was taking this so well.

"You're taking this like 6 times better than I thought you would." I confessed and watched as she shrugged and pulled away from me. I waited for a few seconds and she spoke finally.

"I think I've figured out why I'm taking this so well." She said smoothly sounding surprisingly sober. I guessed the news must have sobered her on up. Oh well.

"Oh?" I asked curiously and tilted my head at her. She smiled sweetly at me and nodded, turning around to place her beer in the sand. I looked between her and the beer warily. She was starting to look a little unhinged.

"Leah?" I took a step closer, frowning at her. She held up a hand and looked up at the sky for a few seconds, breathing in deeply.

"Kai. You need to walk away." She said as she turned and looked at me. I frowned deeper.

"But.." I muttered and tilted my head back at her behavior. She looked down at the ground and shook her head, looking back at me.

"YOU STUPID BITCH!" Abruptly she screamed this and jumped at me, my eyes widened and I held up my hands as a wall to protect my face. I felt us hit the ground and she started to claw at my hand blockade while I squealed.

"KAI DOWN. I REPEAT, KAI IS DOWN." I screeched and tried to kick her off of me.

"HE WAS MINE. WE WERE GOING TO WORK IT OUT AND EVERYTHING. THEN YOU JUST HAD TO COME AND RUIN IT. YOU'RE NOT A FRIEND, KAI. YOU'RE A FUCKING WHORE." She was seriously furious and ripped my hands away from my face, I blocked one set of claws and instead she scratched at my throat. It burned but I was too panicked to do anything about it.

"HELP! GET HER OFF OF ME." I screamed and tried to get her off of me again. I got her in the stomach with my sandal and shifted her down, she hit me in right in the sternum as I did, creating an echoey sound. It got harder to breath when I slid her a little farther and she punched me in the stomach. I flipped around onto my stomach and tried crawl away as she stood up, I didn't get far.

She sunk her nails into my leg as she grabbed it and pulled me back towards her, I squealed at the sudden set of nails in my leg and looked up when I heard feet hitting the ground.

I could see Sam running towards me, Paul and Jared were a little bit behind him. She yanked me back and I felt her almost jump on me, straddling me as she grabbed a fistful of my hair. She was in rage mode apparently as she tugged it up, pulling my head up as she went.

"I've got Leah!" Abruptly she was pulled off as me, trying to take my hair with her. FREEDOM! I took the opportunity to get the fuck away from her, trying to stand up and run away. I got far enough, looking back at her glaring at me when I ran into ANOTHER PERSON.

"FOR FUCK SAKES." I screeched as I started to fall. I almost fell backwards as I lost balance but I was righted by a big rough hand. I looked up at its owner and grinned.

"Sammmyyy." I slurred and tried to jump up to hug him. He was watching her warily, shifting me to where I was behind him slightly. I looked back over to frown, Leah was cussing me out to Paul as he held onto her. She was trying to get out of his arms to get back at me and I shrunk back.

"Look Leah. I know we've hurt you and I know I promised that I'd be here forever for you, but things have changed. We were growing apart, lee-lee." Sam was pleading with her and I peeked around his frame, looking at her. She stopped struggling so much and just looked sad as Paul hesitantly let go of her waist.

"W-we could have worked it out." She responded brittly, she about to cry and I frowned as she sunk to the ground.

"Le-." Sam was about to start again and I cut him off by tugging on his sleeve. He looked down and took in my appearance, I could feel something wet dripping down my neck. That was about it. He started to look angry.

"Leah, I'm sorry. This is my fault. I was supposed to be your friend and instead I took the love of your life. I'm sorry. I know you'll never forgive me and I don't blame you but I ju- I just wanted to say I'm sorry. I shouldn't have gotten involved with Sam and I should have been there more." I was surprised I got all of this out and started to take a few steps towards her. Sam growled and pulled me back, he wasn't letting me go anywhere near her. I shook him off and he glared at me, I glared back.

"Suck it." I muttered to him and went towards her as she started to cry. She looked up at me and opened her arms as I kneeled down, I hugged her. I started to hum and rub her back, Paul and Jared looked at each other, totally bewildered.

"I-I'm sorry I attacked you." She mumbled into my shoulder and I nodded.

"I deserved it." I responded soothingly. She giggled and hugged me a little bit tighter.
