Chapter Six
It was the day of the beach party and EJ was standing on the abandoned beach waiting for Sami. Earlier that day they had agreed to meet on the beach an hour before the party so they could discuss the plan. Finally, EJ saw Sami walking towards him.
"Hey,"
"Hey where were you?" EJ asked.
"I was in my bedroom fighting with my crimping iron,"
EJ just shook his head and smiled.
"Are you ready to discuss the plan?" Sami asked.
EJ nodded.
"What's the plan?"
"Well we see if Lucas is with anybody and if he is I'll confront him,"
EJ sighed.
"Are you sure you want to go through with this?"
"I have to; I need to know if Lucas is cheating on me,"
EJ nodded in understanding.
"Well, if you have to do it I'll be there if you need me," EJ said squeezing Sami's hand.
Sami smiled.
"I know you will be, you always are,"
"Come on we better go hide now, the party's about to start,"
Sami nodded in agreement.
With that, they headed to the beach house.
Sami stood on her tiptoes in attempt to look out the peephole on the door. She scanned the beach with her eyes, she saw clusters of teens going up and down the beach and she couldn't see Lucas anywhere.
"Do you want me to look?" EJ offered.
"Sure," Sami said moving away from the door.
EJ switched spots with Sami but this time he saw Lucas and he wasn't alone either---he was kissing Carrie. EJ felt his hand ball up into a fist as he wondered how Lucas could do this to Sami when all she had done was love him.
"What is it?" Sami asked noticing EJ's tension.
"I don't think you want to see this Samantha,"
Sami narrowed her eyes.
"Yes I do, I need to see this…I have to know,"
When EJ didn't move Sami nudged him but was unsuccessful in moving his tall frame. Finally, she just wedged her way in between him and the door but when she saw what was on the outside she wished she had listened to EJ.
"He's been cheating on me with Carrie," Sami said tears starting to form in her eyes.
Before EJ could comfort her Sami was out the door getting ready to confront Lucas so all he could do was follow her.
"So this is why you were so happy that I wasn't coming to the party huh?" Sami said harshly once she reached Carrie and Lucas.
Everybody at the party stopped waiting for Lucas's answer. Nobody moved.
"Sami, WH-What are you doing here?" Lucas asked clearly dumbfounded.
"I'm trying to figure out what's going on I'm glad I know what's going on now I mean---It makes since now. This is why you were so secretive you were cheating on me with my sister," Sami said trying her hardest not to burst into tears as she said the last word.
"You know you could've just broken up with me that would've been so much easier. But since you didn't make it easy I will we're over Lucas," Sami said walking away before Lucas could make any excuses or before he could see the tears that had started streaming down her cheeks.
EJ glared at Lucas and Carrie and then went to go after Sami but he was too late. Her car was gone but, he knew where she probably went.
