I am SO sorry for taking like half a year to update!! It was just my exams began very early this year and i had no choice but to revise (Which as rubbish) and my computer broke for a while and one of my friends died. Been a hectic few months. But hopefully, i'll have the next chapter up within a few days too (just finishing writing it) so hopefully you can forgive me.
Hope you enjoy. R&R.

I don't know why I expected she'd be there. But something in my gut, as I walked towards the door that I knew was her home, I knew David was inside. I couldn't say whether he wanted to be there or not (I prayed for the latter) but he was in there; I could feel it. He wasn't next to me but just being in the general vicinity to him made my heart race, the pounding in my ears becoming almost unbearable the closer I walked to the door.
A part of me wanted to turn around. I loved him, that was for definite, but if he was happy – if she was telling the truth, and he really did love her – then shouldn't I let him be happy. But I quickly squashed those thoughts. David and I, we were forever. There was nothing that he wouldn't do for me, so I knew he couldn't love her. He loved me. He'd always me, from back when I was fifteen years old. He had a plan for us – marriage, kids, the works. He wouldn't have lied about that; he wouldn't have betrayed me.
My heart was in my throat. My legs were turning to jelly. And my finger was just millimetres from the buzzer

Oh god, Sam, please don't come. I love you, but she'll hurt you, you know she will; she's crazy. I'm here, I'm living up to her plan for YOU so YOU can be safe. Why jeapordise it all and come here? What were you thinking??
The thoughts flashed across my mind and as I quickly exited the living room, and opened the door. Her finger was just a second from the buzzer. Her eyes immediately met mine and I knew she could see the love that I held for her in there. I went onto the porch step, closing the door behind me. I did not need Katie knowing Sam was here.
"Sam," I hissed." Please leave. I can't have you here. You have to go!"
I took her arm, pulling her down the steps slightly, trying to get her far away from Katie's home. Well, mine and Katie's home now.
"David?" Sam whispered, choking up slightly. "I'm so scared. What's going on? Why have you left me for HER? You told me you loved me!"
Her voice had risen to a screech by the time she reached the last sentence, and I knew Katie could hear her even from inside the house. I grabbed Sam's arm, pulling her into the alleyway that led to next door's back garden, and put a finger to her lips. We heard the door open and Katie call my name.
I had told her around ten minutes ago that we needed more food, so I hoped that it was enough of a cover to justify why I wasn't there in the house, or outside. But I didn't no how I would explain her hearing Sam's voice; I just prayed that she would go inside, slightly confused, for me to make up a story later.. I heard the door close and took a peek around the corner. It seemed that Katie had, luckily enough, just ignored Sam's voice and re-entered her home.
I grabbed Sam's hand and pulled her quickly across the road, into the park that was only a few minutes from Katie's house. I pulled Sam into the shade oh a tree, sitting down onto a bench.
"Sam," I started. "Look, you can't come round here. Katie isn't in her right mind; if I wasn't here then I know things wouldn't be safe for you. I'm here because of US! I know you're scared, but I'll come home to you, I promise. You just need to give me time, because if you don't, she'll hurt you. And I've already hurt you so much; I thought that this would be better for us."
"David," Sam whispered. "I don't understand. Why are you here? We can deal with her! We can go anywhere we wanted; we can hide, we can switch colleges – ANYTHING! But don't be with her, please, because I can't live without you. And I don't think I'll cope if you're with her."
"I'm so sorry," I croaked, my throat choked up. "I want to be with you, you know I do. But I think this might be better for us right now if I'm with her. Do you want her to hurt you? She would, if I wasn't here to placate her! She's always talking about hurting you, about getting you out of the picture, because she knows that I still love you. That I will always love you!"
"What?" Sam looked confused."You love me? You want to be with me? Yet you're with her?"
"To save you!!" I exclaimed. "If I wasn't with her; if I wasn't stopping her from doing the things she planned, then you might be in serious peril right now. Please, just for a little while stay away and let me be with her."
The wind was passing through the leaves of the trees, making the leaves rustle. I looked up at the skies, seeing the cloud cover the sun, casting us in shadow. My heart was thumping, breaking as I was telling Sam that we couldn't be together. I loved her. I wanted her so much. I didn't want to lose her. I hated Katie Carlton right now.
Sam pulled my head down so my eyes met hers. I could see the tears in her eyes, her heart was breaking. Why was I doing this? Why couldn't we run away together? My dad has money, we could run far enough that Katie never found us. But then I realised that, no matter how well we hid, Katie was so obsessed with me that she would not rest until she found me. And hurt the love of my life.
"Sam," I said, my voice hard now. I kissed her lightly on the lips. "Go, before she finds out you're here. Before she hurts one or both of us."
"Too Late," I heard a voice say. I knew that voice
Katie had found us.
