A/N thanks for reading my little story. I have updated a bit sooner than I normally do because for Chapter 9 I got the idea of writing the telephone conversation in real time like the TV show 24 so chapter 9 is just the conversation with Edward. I hope that it works.

EC=Edward Cullen

SA=Samson Anderson

Disclaimer: don't own anything Twilight, just anything that isn't

Chapter 9 7minutes 10 seconds

I picked up my phone held it for a moment. Pressing 1 then call, he answered after one ring. I took a deep breath

EC "Samson!"

SA "Yes Edward it's me"

EC "Why are you calling?"

SA "Your family has been pestering me, phoning, texting, emailing. I'm getting the impression something's up with you"

EC "Sorry about that Samson I will tell them to stop contacting you, bye then Samson"

SA "Wait, I've phoned to talk to you, to ask you something but first what's up"

EC "Samson don't worry about me I will be fine, so what do you want to ask me?"

SA "So something is wrong as you said you will be fine, so what's up?"

EC "I guess they are calling you because I don't spend anytime at home, I don't see my family much"

SA "Whys that?"

EC "Because I don't want to hear there thoughts, it's bad enough at school"

SA "So what are they thinking, what is all this avoiding your family about?"

EC "I don't want to talk about this"

SA "You are going to have to talk about this and with me as you're not talking to your family. I think they think I can help due to the amount of contact I've had from them. So tell me"

EC "I'm not with Bella, that didn't work out, we're just friends now"

SA "Ok, so what's the reason behind the avoiding act?"

EC "I told you it didn't work out with Bella"

SA "Yes and you also told me you're friends now so that isn't the reason for avoiding you're families thoughts, so go on"

EC "Because I'm unhappy probably depressed and when I was around the house I was either getting on peoples nerves or making people sad. The thoughts ranged from telling me to snap out of it or calling me an idiot to them feeling sorry for me or sad"

SA "So what has made you unhappy?"

EC "Realising that I made a huge mistake and letting the one person I was meant to spend the rest of their life with go"

Silence for 30seconds

EC "Samson, are you there, speak to me?"

Silence for 30 seconds

EC "Samson are you crying?"

SA "Course I'm fucking crying. You are a fucking idiot and so am I"

EC "I know I am but you're not, why did you say you are?"

SA "Because if we didn't love each other as strongly as we did. We would still be together. You didn't want me to go, you told me not to but I asked you to let me and you did. I didn't want to stay because I wanted you to have what you wanted and for it to have a chance of working I couldn't be around. The main reason for not staying was so I didn't have to see you happy with someone else. We did all that because we love each other, we love each other soo much we would do anything if it's what the other person wants, even if it make us unhappy to do it"

EC "So come back, it would make me so happy, I still love you do you still love me?"

SA "I do Edward, I do still love you. But can I trust you"

EC "You can trust me"

SA "Can I trust you not to leave me again for a girl?"

EC "Samson I'm gay. I love Bella but only as a friend. I learned I was gay in the wrong way, it meant hurting you and end our relationship."

SA "Edward, I wish you could have realised sooner. You just made my life so complicated"

EC "Why, are you dating Richie?"

SA "No but"

EC "But you love him"

SA "Yes, the feelins were always there, but being around him again, being friends with him. I love him even more than before; he's more relaxed around me, more comfortable with who he is"

EC "And you think he's going to come out soon"

SA "I do"

EC "And you want to try a relationship with him"

SA "I want to be in a relationship with you both; I love you both so much but completely differently. It's hard to explain"

EC "You should give Richie and you a chance, if it's meant to be you'll spend the rest of your lives together. If it doesn't work out I will be here waiting for you and I will wait, I love you and only you"

SA "Not fighting for me again, letting me go"

EC "What do you want me to do, beg you to come back to me and force you to choose between us, I can't do that to you? I guess you're right"

SA "I know I'm always right but what about this time"

EC "That I love you to much to force you to choose"

SA "Thank you, now to give you something, it maybe a small thing to what you've just given me but I want you to have it"

EC "Have what"

SA "Have me to talk to, I told you never to contact me again. I don't want you to do that, I want you to call me whenever you want, and I want us to be friends"

EC "You don't know what that means to me Samson. You know you shouldn't have said whenever I want"

SA "Edward, with great power come great responsibility"

EC "Ok I will use this power wisely"

SA "I have to get to the beach and meet my friends, so we'll talk later"

EC "You can count on it"

SA "You alright Edward"

EC "Yes, I'm better"

SA "Good, talk to you later"

EC "Bye Samson"

Ok my little tribute to 24, 7 minutes 10 seconds (it takes about that to read). Back to normal on Saturday, I just have to write the chapter.
