A Samantha Story

By Esme123

I decided to get some freash air and go for a walk. I sighed. Why did he have to be Eddie Rylan! Why not a mystery stranger. Adn who knows what her may of have seen when he walked in on me. Ida Dean ran up to me. "Great pary last night, eh?" She asked. "But I have one question..."

"why is Eddie staying at a hotel?" I asked.

"Um, he is going to colage and he came here for soring break. Why were you dancing with him?" Ida asked.

I walked quiker. "OOO! I allways though you two were a cute couple! Saamntha and Ed-" Idea started.

"Stop!" I spat at her. "Shut up! I do not like Eddie Ryland!" I did not want to be part of that conversation anymore so I walked away. Why do i not like Eddie? I wondered.

I was lost in though as I walked so I bumped into a young man. Don't be, I though. But it was. Eddie turned around and looked at me. "Hi, Samantha," He said. I just ooked down at the street. I twas as if the whole world had stopped.Just like the other times I was with him.

"Why," I started. "Why must we hate each other?" I looked up at him. He looked into my eyes. i looked into his. Eddie was so handsome. Wy did I hate him. I wanted to. But I didn't. He leaned in. To kiss me. I was oging to but, then I backed off quickly. Tears welled up in my eys. I truned away and started to run. I could hear him running after me. "Samantha!" he crued. I kept on running. Tears started puring down my cheeks. Then someone grabed my arm. I jolted back. He turned me around. I was looking face to face with Eddie. No Edward.

"I love you," He said quietly. My tears stoped. but only for a moment. Soon I started to cry again. Edward let go of my arm . I truned and ran back to the hotel.

When I got to my room I told nellie everything.And she comforted me. That washow things were suposed to be between sisters. But why were thing not like they were suposed to be between me and Edward...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next day i stayed in the hotel room. And the day after that, adn the day after that. that was all I did. Until the day we were going to leave. Nelie and I packed our trunks and were ready to go. I did not say goo-dye to eddie.He didn't to me.

On the train I sat next to a man. Because the tran wasso packed. The man was resting his head on the window. Sleeping. I was reading After a while. The man woke up. I go that feeling.Like the wholde world stopped. "People change," The man said. "So why do we hate?"

I kept looking at my book. Readin, just reading. I kept on reading until The man said. "Samantha, why do you hate? Why do you insist on it?"

I looked up. and looked at eddie. Edward. "Hello," I said. "Hello," He said.

"I don't know..." I said. "But it was not hate I was feeling, It waas fear, and fear turned into whatever emotion I could cover it up with, and that was hate."

"But what were you so afraid of? "edward asked.

"I was afraid that you would break my heart," I said. Edward took my hand. He looked me in the eye.

"If I were to break your hear, then may mine be broken to," Edward said. And with that we kissed. Witha promis of love. We let it be. For we were in love. Hate is never forever. For hate dies. And hate grows too. But never is it forever. And we are lving breathing proof. proof that love and love alone is the only emotion that can last a liftime. Nothing can overrule it. Not hate, fear, or jelosey. And that is why I have to write this down. And with that I bid you good-day.
