Hihi :D I know, i know, i said i would wait for reviews to see if i would write another chapter to this. Well, none have come yet, but i wanted to update anyways. ^w^ Review please! I wanna see if anyone actually likes this. xD
Sam:
Sam was walking around the lake shore, now on the far side, away from his boathouse. As he sat down on the lake's edge, His mind wandered through everything which had happened the day before. He had slept with Astrid's nightgown by his side every day since she had left... but last night, he had put it away. It was as though he didn't need that little piece of comfort anymore...
But why? What had changed?
Lost in thought, Sam didn't even notice the footsteps behind him until a rather familiar voice rang out from behind him.
"Hi, Sam," Dekka said.
Turning around, Sam saw who it was and said, "Oh, hey Dekka." He found himself smiling after seeing her, but couldn't quite figure out why. Dekka then sat down next to Sam. She was wearing a pink tee shirt and black jeans, with her long black hair tied back into a ponytail. Sam couldn't help but think of how beautiful she looked out here on the water's edge, the sun rising from behind her (at least from Sam's perspective).
Dekka smiled a little and looked over at him, then said, "You look a lot better today. Sleeping well?"
"Yeah," Sam said, in rememberance of how he had felt the night before, "Slept great last night. It's different."
"I'll say," Dekka said, as though she knew exactly what he meant. Sam couldn't help but think about how similar things had been for them lately. He was hurt by Astrid, Dekka by Brianna... the FAYZ had been a hell for both of them. The only small thing they've had to get through it is each other, and maybe a handful of other friends.
Dekka:
Dekka had been coming back from the woods after a long walk through the areas around Lake Tramonto when she'd seen him. Sam, sitting on the edge of the lake, looking like he was deep in thought. He was wearing a black polo shirt, and dark blue jeans. His long Golden-Brown hair was blowing around lightly in the breeze, which was unusual for the FAYZ. Wondering what he was doing out here so early, she went over to him and said hi, then sat down next to him.
"Oh, Hey Dekka," she couldn't help but notice the smile on his face, and smiled right back at him, a bit unusual for her. He seemed to be a lot happier today than he had been the day before, like there wasn't anything eating away at him. For the first time in a while, he didnt look like a stressed out leader who'd been pushed beyond his limits, but much more like a happy, stress-free teenage boy, something almost no one in the FAYZ could say anymore.
"You look a lot better today. Sleeping well?"
"Yeah, slept great last night. It's different."
"I'll say," Dekka said with a slight nod, recalling all the recent sleepless nights she'd spent fretting over Brianna. It was strange, she hadn't seemed to think of Brianna at all when she was around Sam unless the topic came up. And even now, thinking of her, she didn't feel as sad. It was amazing.
They just sat there in silence for a little while longer, until a furious-looking Edilio began to walk over to the two of them. "Shit..." Dekka muttered to herself, realizing what had happened. From the look on Sam's face, he had too.
"What the hell? I've got eight year olds working their asses off in the fields and you two decide to skip out and come talk on the lakeshore?" Edilio ranted, obviously not in a very nice mood. "First i had to break up a fight before another kid got thrown into the damn zeke field... then i had to go fetch a few kids who didn't show, assuming the two of you would handle the kids if need be because i thought you'd be there, then i find you two lounging around on the damn lake!" Edilio then sat down on the ground, running his hands through his dark black hair, which clung to his forehead just a bit from sweat, no doubt due to working in the fields.
Dekka was a bit taken back. She had never seen Edilio angry before, and honestly, she could barely stifle a giggle after he was done ranting. Sam actually did chuckle a little bit when he was done.
"Alright man, we'll get to the fields," Sam said.
"Hurry the hell up," Edilio sighed. He was obviously run down.
"Sorry Edilio, i wont forget again," Dekka said.
"Yeah. Just go."
Sam:
Sam, after being scolded by Edilio for forgetting his field work, still found himself smiling. Edilio rarely got angry, so that was shocking. But mostly it was just the fact that instead of working in the fields all morning, he'd gotten to take a couple hours off to talk with Dekka. That at least, he was happy about.
After Edilio was finally done yelling at him (which felt like it lasted forever to Sam), Sam and Dekka began to walk away from the edge of the lake.
"Damn, he was mad," Sam said, laughing a little.
"Yeah, seems like it. Guess we'd better get to the fields." Dekka said, barely able to stop herself from laughing, Sam noticed.
"Yeah, we're partners for today," Sam smiled brightly at the thought of that. He was enjoying spending time with Dekka more and more lately.
They walked to the fields from there, and started working. The work seemed less tedious to Sam, when they did it together. Afterwards, they ended up going to Dekka's house together again, exhausted after a long day of work.
Dekka:
Sam opened the door for Dekka, and she walked right in and sat down on the edge of her bed, exhausted from working in the fields. She heard the door shut and Sam walk into her room, asking, "Hey, want a glass of water?"
"Sure," Dekka said, both of them obviously tired out after the day's work, even if it had been cut short by a couple hours.
Sam walked into the small kitchen (if you could call the tiny space with a mini-fridge and a tiny walk in pantry a "kitchen") and fetched them both a glass of water from the tap. When he returned, Dekka took the glass of water and drank a few sips, Sam doing exactly the same.
When they finished a few minutes later, Sam yawned and laid his head back on the bed, looking up at Dekka sitting next to him. It was late, and they were both tired, Dekka thought. May as well let him sleep here.
She laid back in the bed next to him, smiling over at him, feeling extremely happy to be this close to him.
They just laid there for a while, not saying anything, just enjoying being with each other and thinking of all the things that had happened to them in the past couple days, until Sam slowly reached over and wrapped his arms around Dekka, pulling her closer to him.
Dekka rested her head against his chest, listening to his heartbeat as she snuggled in a bit closer to him. She had never felt this way about a boy before, or anyone before for that matter, but she liked it. She felt safe in Sam's arms, like nothing could hurt her.
They just laid like that for a while, just holding each other, before Sam said something that broke the silence.
"I love you, Dekka."
Feeling happier than she ever had, Dekka responded, "I love you too, Sam," and she meant it. More than she had ever meant anything else in her life.
Dekka and Sam just held each other the rest of the night, eventually falling asleep in each other's arms, like they had both wanted to do for quite some time now.
A lot shorter, but i think i did pretty good. Don't worry, the story has a plot, just not quite there yet. xD Haven't gotten many reviews yet, but oh well. ^w^ I just had to write the second chapter. I hope i'm starting to get better, and i really Hope you liked it. :D Review! Makes me happy to read 'em. :3
