Chapter Four

Sammi's POV

Riley was the only person I could go to right now. She'd let me in her house, give me a drink and let me talk about all of my problems until I fell asleep. Andy would be there for me too and Savannah and Zane would be there to cheer up. Whatever happened, I just couldn't stay in the apartment with Jinxx.

As soon as I got to the door, it opened and Riley stepped out, a look of concern flashing over her face.

"Hey, I saw you coming up the street" She explained. "What happened to you? You look like hell." Well, she never really started with saying the right things.

"Jeez, thanks" I sighed. "Can I come in? I need to talk to you." She stepped aside, let me in and then closed the door. "Thanks, Riley, I really need someone to talk to."

"Hey, it's not a problem." Riley shrugged. "What happened?" She asked once we were sitting down on the sofa.

"More like what didn't happen" I grumbled. How on earth was I supposed to explain all of this to her? Well, there wasn't even really anything to explain to her which just made it all even harder!

"Okay, just explain it all to me and I'll try and come up with a solution" Riley sighed. "God knows that me and Andy have had our arguments. I must have gained some experience from all that."

"Trust me, you haven't been through anything like this" Sammi whispered. "I came home two nights ago and Jinxx was acting all weird. He wouldn't talk to me properly which made me think that I had done something wrong. I woke up this morning to find him sleeping on the sofa and when I asked him what I'd done to make him like this, he just ignored it and told me that he wanted to break up, but he wouldn't even tell me why. He said it would be better to discuss it when we're both calmer."

"Jesus, that must suck" Riley agreed, wrapping her arm around my shoulders in a comforting manner. "Jinxx will just be going through a tough time and he'll be over it soon enough. Don't give up on him, though. He'll explain it all when he's ready." As much as Riley was just trying to make me feel better about it all, it made me angrier. What if Jinxx wasn't just going through a tough time and he really was done with me? Maybe I had done something to really irk him that I hadn't even realised and he didn't want to speak to me ever again. The possibilities were all very likely.

"I don't think he will, Riley" I retorted. "He's never acted like this before and I've known him for years. Either I've done something and he doesn't want to talk to me because he's so angry or he's done something and he doesn't want to admit it yet, but he feels to guilty to be around me. Whichever one it is, he probably won't be back any time soon.

"Hey, you don't know that" Riley assured. "All you need to do is give Jinxx some space, so he can clear his head and just try to not let it get you down."

"Let what get you down?" Andy asked as he walked through to the living room, a bottle in Zane's mouth. "Sammi, you never let anything get you down/ I don't know what's happened, but you better snap out of it."

"Andy, it's a long story, but the short versions is; Jinxx broke up with me, but he won't even tell me why" I explained, shaking my head at the memory.

Andy's POV

What the hell was Jinxx even playing at? Yes, I knew why Jinxx had broken up with Sammi, but I promised him that I wouldn't tell anyone and I agreed because I didn't want to be part of it. As soon as he told me, I removed myself from the situation. You see, black veil brides went to the bar for a while. Riley insisted that I go because she knows how stressful it can be to always be in a house with two children. I love my kids with all of my heart, but God knows it's tough work.

So, we were at the bar and we'd all had a few drinks and well, Jinxx wasn't very good at dealing with them. There was a girl at the bar who was paying a lot of interest to us and we all had the sense to ignore it apart from Jinxx. Well, long story short, he kissed her and Jinxx is Jinxx. He can't deal with any form of guilt. He would rather that Sammi was hurt getting out of a relationship than hurt when finding out the truth ten years down the line.

"Oh, man, that totally sucks" I sighed. "Jinxx will get back with you soon enough." I lied. For all I knew, he might never want to be a part of us again. Guilt practically eats him alive. Something told me that my promise to not get involved would soon be broken. He needed some sense talked into him and I had a feeling that I was going to be the only one willing to actually try it.

"Yeah, it does" Sammi agreed, gently shaking her head as she wiped some tears from her eyes.

"I'll be back in a bit" I said, handing Riley Zane and giving her a look that said not to question what I was doing before I hurried from the house and in the direction of the flats that Jinxx lives at.

Jinxx's POV

The house was just depressing now that Sammi wasn't here to light it all up. I couldn't just let her stay here in the belief that she had done something wrong to me. As much as it hurt me, I had to tell her to leave. She didn't deserve to be around someone as stupid as me. She deserves better than that.

A knock at the door was the only thing that made me get up from my pit to see who it was. A part of me was wishing that it was Sammi. I wanted to tell her why I had broken up with her so bad, but the other part was telling me that she wasn't ready to hear it.

Andy stood at the door when I opened it. He looked so pissed at me which led me to believe that Sammi had taken refuge at Riley's and Andy had heard all about the breakup. At least someone could give me shit for what I did.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Andy asked, pushing me aside and walking straight into the hallway. "You're a shit person sometimes, Jinxx." As weird as it may sound, I'm glad someone was calling me these names. I deserve it all.

"She needs someone better than me." I sighed, following him through to the living room.

"Oh, you don't need to tell me that" Andy scoffed. "You've been dating that woman for longer than I've been dating Riley, yet as soon as you have a few drinks, your lips are planted on some bitch's neck." Andy was pacing the room with a look of death in his eyes. He treated Sammi like a little sister and the thought of anyone hurting her made him go insane. "All those sweet things you would say to her. You know, about having a beautiful house and getting married and having kids. Did you many any fucking thing?"

"Hey, man, I was drunk" I shouted. I made one mistake and suddenly everything I've ever said to Sammi is a lie. How does that possibly make sense? "I love Sammi more than anything in the world and I hate myself for doing what I did. If I could turn back the clock, I would."

"Yeah, well, you can't" Andy reminded. "You need to stop looking at the past and make it up with Sammi before she's gone for good."

"Look, I know I do" I sighed. "You've made mistakes too. You broke up with Riley because of what happened with Scout." As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I knew that I had passed the line and it was going to take a hell of a lot of explaining to put it right.

"Hey, that was completely different" Andy snapped. "I didn't kiss Scout. It was all a misunderstanding. The only reason I didn't get back with Riley quicker was because she was pregnant and her hormones were all over the place. She needed her space."

"Sorry, Andy, I didn't mean any of that" I explained. "It's just; I don't know what to do. I've only ever argued with Sammi a couple of times and it wasn't really ever over anything serious, but now I've cheated. She'll never want to get back with me."

"Sammi loves you. She might want to get back, but it'll never happen if you don't explain what happened and apologise." Andy sighed as he sat down. At least he looked as though he had calmed down and he was actually going to try and help me with my problem. "Stop acting as though you're the victim here."

"Okay, I'll do it tomorrow" I answered. His face told me that he wasn't happy about me waiting any longer to try and sort things out with Sammi, but it had to be done. "She needs to have time to cool off."

"Sure, if she really loves you, she'll forgive you" Andy assured. "All relationships have problems, but true, strong ones are the ones where forgiveness can occur. Sammi knows that and she knows that your relationship is a strong one." Andy got up from the sofa and headed to the door before turning back to face me. "I'm not getting involved with this anymore than I already have."

"Thanks, Andy" I called. "Hey, since when did you get all wise and smart?" For the first time today, he grinned at me.

"Hey, people may think I'm a useless bastard, but I do have my moments. I've had experiences with Riley that I've learned from." He explained. "When you have two children and a fiancée, you'll understand and you can give people advice about it all too."

"It's highly unlikely" I called, even though the door had been closed and Andy was gone. Jesus, what the hell was I supposed to do about Sammi? Even though Andy had given me all of the advice, I still wasn't exactly confident in telling her all of this.

Well, I apologise for making them break up! Hope you enjoy, though and please review.
