Lol.While I was typing this chapter,the episode of The Suite Life of Zack and Cody when Arwin makes the P.U. was on.I love the part when Cody says "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" And then Zack says "Chihuahuas have freakishly large ears! Cause I mean compared to their little bodies,they're just like MASSIVE!"
Lol.I'm sorry.But that always gets to me.
Cody took a seat at his desk and looked over,especting Samantha to be in her desk.
But she wasn't.
He looked around,wondering if she had maybe walked to the head of the class to ask the teacher something.
But she wasn't there.She wasn't anywhere in the classroom.
'Why isn't she here?' he thought. 'She's always here so early.Did something happen?'
Shaking the thoughts out of his head,he proceeded to take out a piece of paper and start the day's assignment when he heard someone plop into the desk behind him.
He looked over and gasped.
Samantha was there,but oh how she was beaten.
She had a purple bruise on one of her cheeks,and a deep gash along the bottom of her right eye.
"My dear," he heard the teacher say as she scurried down the aisle. "What in the world happened to you?"
"Oh,nothing," she replied weakly. "I just...accidently fell down the stairs."
The teacher looked suspicious.
"If you say so," she said,disbelief and worry in her voice. "Do you need to see the nurse?"
"N-no," she replied,wincing as she touched the bruise on her cheek. " Really.I'm fine."
They both watched the teacher walk back to the front of the class,and Cody turned to look at Samantha's beaten face.
"Ok," he said while leaning over,his voice stern. "What really happened?"
"I'll tell you after school," she replied.
"But Sam-"
"After school," she whispered fiercely.
So she left Cody to sit there and stew over what might have happened,all the while until the bell rang.
BRIIIIING!
Cody put his paper in his backpack,and slung it over his shoulder.
"Hey Sam! Wait up!" he yelled,chasing after her.
They arrived at their usual eating wall and sat down.
"So," he began. "What happened?"
She stared at her shoes,not speaking.
"Sam...please tell me."
She looked at him and shrugged.
"It's nothing.I came in from the woods to use the bathroom.I thought they would have been asleep by then...but they weren't."
"Did you say anything to them?"
"No."
"Well,they couldn't have just beaten you for no reason!"
A weak laugh escaped her lips.
"You don't know them."
Cody felt his heart pop.
"I'm...I'm sorry."
"I know..." she said,tears falling down her cheeks. "But I can't take this anymore! I can stand the abuse for only so long!"
She leaned over and kissed him on his lips.
Then,pushing herself off of the ground,she ran towards the street with tears flying behind her.
"I'm sorry!" she screamed.
"Sam! Please,come back!"
He saw her run into the street,heard tires screech,heard goggles crack.
He shut his eyes closed,now hearing only the sound of his heart beating.
'No...' he thought. ' God no.'
Cody slowly opened his eyes,and started sprinting towards the street.
"Sam! No!" he cried,running over to her limp body and kneeling beside it.
"Please! You can't go! You were the only one who understood me!" he screamed,sobbing into her neck.
"Son,back away.An ambulance is on the way." he heard a man say.
But he didn't get up.
"No! I'm not leaving her!"
"Please,you have to step back.They have to try and save her." the man replied.
' Try and...save her?' he thought,feeling his body go numb.
But he just laid there with her,crying into her neck until he could hear the sirens approaching,and he still didn't budge.
He just lie there,feeling her body slowly feel colder and colder.
Lol.I really like this chapter.Is it me,or does this story have a rollercoaster-type plot (Up and down)?
Who knows.Maybe Sam will die and lead Cody to cutting yet again.
Or maybe Cody will cut before he realizes that Sam will live.
Or maybe Sam will just live and they'd live happily ever after then some other tragedy will happen. xD
Vote...or review.Thanks!
