Omg, I'm so sorry! I know I didn't update in a yay long while, but I am begging you for forgiveness! I just had so many problems lately which included me twisting my ankle once again.. As clumsy as I am, I can't help myself =) Warning, this chapter might make you cry a little which I hope, so you would review. Anyway, enjoy :)
Chapter 16(Sam's POV)
I watched as Freddie disappeared under the surface of the water, screaming. Wendy hadn't been there so it must have been someone else... or something. I breathed heavily, desperately turning around searching for Wendy. She was nowhere to be seen.
''Wendy!'' I screamed. Nothing.
''Freddie!'' No response either. I panicked looking around for any sign of the two. Suddenly, they both emerged from the water, laughing. Did they..? Did they just trick me?
''What the hell? Don't you guys ever do that to me again!'' I yelled, but they still hadn't stopped laughing. I glared at them, but they were still pretty entertained with my outburst. Ugh! Why'd I let them do that do me?
''You guys are seriously mean!'' I shouted.
''Look who's talking!'' Freddie said, still giggling from the previous scene. That caused me to splash him. Hard. While his mouth were open.
''Sam!'' he said choking on water. I didn't take the serious glare off my face as I went out of the water, very offended, as they had probably already noticed.
''Aw, come on, Sam!'', ''We didn't mean to scare you!'' they yelled. I just went out of the sea and onto the big rocks. That trick is not fun anymore! We're scaring ourselves and having fun instead of trying to find a frickin' exit from this island! I didn't change my clothes in God knows how many days. I don't even know what today is! But I think it might be Friday, or Saturday. I'm not quite sure... Only God can help us.
They wanted to have fun all day because I shoud rest or whatever. So, no progress today. Obviously. I just hope we find a way home soon. Well, Carly's home, coz my-
''Sam?'' I heard a male voice behind me.
~Freddie's POV~
''Go away, dishrag!'' she answered. I sighed, this was gonna be hard, and sat down next to her. As I did that she got up, walked away for a few feet and sat down again. I rolled my eyes and did the same as her, sitting down next to her again. She tried to get up, once more, but I pulled her down.
''Sam, listen to me!'' I whined.
''What?'' she yelled, highly irritated. I paused for a few seconds.
''I'm sorry.'' I said, somewhat quieter than before. She sighed and turned her head away. She just kept staring at the same spot with no emotions showing on her face. At that moment I seriously wished I could read minds. I noticed her eyes were starting to water.
''Sam?''
''Leave me alone.'' she said with her voice shaking.
''What's wrong?'' I asked coming just a little bit closer to her.
''Nothing. Nothing's wrong. Now, go away.''
''Sam, you can tell me.'' I encouraged her. She sniffed before answering.
~Sam's POV~
''I miss home.'' I lied. Well, in a way. I did miss Carly and Spence, but that's all. It would be perfect if they were with us right now. Then, I wouldn't want, even the slightest bit, to go back to Seattle. It was actually really nice here.
''Me, too.'' Freddie said. A tear slid down my cheek, but I quickly wiped it away. The last thing I would want now, is a dork watching as I cried. Though I think he noticed anyway.
''Hey, don't cry.'' Yep, he totally noticed. I could feel my throat burning out in wish to get those tears off my chest. It was like I had a rock stuck in there that would disappear if cried. But I could not cry. Not in front of the nub.
''You okay?'' he asked. He must've seen the expressions on my face showing the pain in me. I was too scared to even breathe. As if I would melt right there and start crying.
''I'm fine.'' I managed to stutter out.
''You know..'' he started.
~Freddie's POV~
''When I was a kid, and my dad was still alive.'' I said the second part quieter. ''We used to go out for walks all of the time. We would usually go around the main park and goof around. There were a few swing sets and my dad would always push me. We had so much fun. My mom was still normal. Well, as much as she could ever be.'' I saw Sam chuckle slightly. She seemed to be interesed in my story, so I continued.
''We would come home all dirty and she would yell at us, in a fake way, and then dad and I would go into the bathroom and clean ourselves. There was always a lot of bubbles and the whole room would be wet. Sometimes, our dog Sophie, would join us so the bathroom looked even worse, but mom never got nervous. She would actually play with us and laugh along. My dad always called me his 'little chilli bowl' coz that was his favorite meal in the whole world.''
''Before I went to sleep, they would both sit on my bed and read me a goodnight story. They'd give me a kiss and leave me and Sophie, the retriever, sleeping on my bed every night. She was the best dog ever. We were a big happy family, perfect actually, and I thought nothing could ever be better.'' A smile appeared on Sam's face as she listened to the story. I hated the fact that it would be gone in just a few moments when I tell her the rest.
''One afternoon, my dad and I went to the park as usual. We played on the swings when I met you, remember?'' she nodded. ''At the moment I met you, my life got a bit better than it already was. Dad was really happy that we met and all three of us played together. Those few hours were the best in my life.''
''Ater you went my dad told me it was late and that we should go home, too. He asked me if I wanted to go with the bus or with a train down in the subway. If I knew what would happen I would never pick the subway train.'' Sam's face got a little more serious.
''It was very late and there weren't much people at the station. The ones that were there got on the trains that came before ours. Dad was talking on the phone with my mom who got a bit worried coz we weren't home yet. They were talking about my school since it was the summer before the start of my first grade. I aksed him when our train was coming and he said soon.''
''A few guys appeard on our left side and they looked mean. They started whispering something to each other and smiling deviously. My dad was now laughing at what my mom said over the phone. The guys started coming closer to us and giving me weird looks. I tugged at dad's sleeve and he turned to the guys, but they were already shoving him and saying some stuff that I didn't understand.'' My voice got shaky as I neared the end of the story I hated most in the world.
''Dad didn't hang up on mom, but moved his phone away from his ear. He moved me behind him and said:''Don't move, my little chilli bowl.'' The guys started saying some mean words to him and pushing him. When he saw the train coming he shoved them away. That was our train, but unfortunately, no one was on it. The door opened and those guys got inside, but one of them had a gun which he held up towards my dad. Dad gently pushed me aside dropping the phone and, before the doors closed, the guy shot him.''
''I started crying desperately and ran over to the phone. I picked it up and told mom to come quickly. No one was there to help us. I knelt down beside my dad and screamed, screamed so loud for help. No one heard me. I remember like it was yesterday.''
Flashback
''Dad! Dad!'' I yelled. The station was completely empty. A few dim lights were on. ''No!''
I rushed over to the phone and picked it up.
''Mom..'' I said quietly, crying. ''Come quick.'' I threw the phone aside and knelt over to my dad crying so hard I felt my throat burning up. His eyes were open and he was looking at me, a little smile on his lips.
''Sshh..'' he tried to shush me.
''Listen to me.'' he said. ''Tell your mom that I love her, okay?'' I nodded. ''And I love you, too, my little chilli bowl.'' his voice got completely quiet as he said the last word. His eyes dropped closed and I started crying desperately, shaking his hand to wake up. He didn't budge at all.
''Dad! No! Don't go... Daddy.. Stay here! Don't leave me... Daddy... No..''
Review, please! :)
