Sam's POV:

Leah never did tell me what was wrong. I didn't push her. I wanted her to know that I would be here, if she wanted to tell me. I let her cry on my shoulder, comforting her as long as she needed it. She ended falling asleep in my arms. Instead of leaving her, I stayed the night with her.

Every tear drop that fell from her beautiful eyes, makes my heart hurt. I just want to wrap her in my arms tightly and never letting go. I want to shelter her from all the pain in the world.

And even if I don't know her that well, I can tell she has gone through a lot of pain, and a lot of suffering. And for the first time I cared.

It has never happened with any of my past girlfriends. I never really cared about them.

And it was strange for me to feel like this for an girl who I barely know. She was like an stranger to me. But yet she feels so right. I felt an connection to her. It's hard to deny it.
Here was the girl who at first I didn't even like. Or didn't even want to like, until the night I kissed her in the kitchen and felt the fireworks.

It was than I realize that I fell for Leah right at that moment.

I smiled when I woke up the next morning and here was my angel in my arms. She was so beautiful. I leaned down and kissed her on her forehead. I couldn't help it. It was like an reflex. Every time she was around me I feel my hate towards her dissolve and I don't remember what it was about her that I disliked. Hoe could I not like this angel? How can anyone not fall for her?

"You are perfect." I whispered to her. "You are 100% perfect to me."

She looked so soft and innocent in her quiet slumber.

Her face was wrinkled up in worry, as she is in an deep thought.

"Cameron." she whispered. "Marissa. You betrayed me." she said in her sleep.

Betrayed her? Is that the reason why she is so upset?

"He's an idiot. He don't deserve you." I whispered to her. "You can do much better."

She stirred again in her sleep.

"I love you, Cameron. I do everything for you. Why did you do that?"

"I love you. He doesn't know how to love you." I said. It was true. I fell for her hard, ever since that night in the kitchen. In unspoken words and actions I started to feel this connection, this chemistry.

"I still want you. I want to go back home to you."

"He doesn't love you, the way you deserved to be love." I whispered.

She started stirring again.

This time she was awoken. "Sam?" she said groggily looking at me surprised.

"Morning." I said. Smiling at her.

Just than horror crossed over her pretty features. "Oh no. Oh my god. Don't tell me that we- we slept together? Please don't tell me that we slept together. Oh god. Did we?" she said panicking looking at her fully clothed body.

I laughed. I couldn't help it.

She glared at me.

I recompose my face.

"No, Lee- Lee. You are being ridiculous. You can relax, we did nothing of the sort. I swear to god, we didn't sleep together. If you did you would know it."

"Oh." she said letting out the breath she was holding in. "That's an relieve. Thank the heavens. You have no idea what a nightmare it will be, if we slept together. I would have been so horrified."

"Yeah." I said my face falling a little bit. I was disappointed at her reaction.

"I got to get ready for school." she said untangling herself from my arms.

And all of an sudden it felt empty with out her in my arms.

I watched her disappear.

Shake out of it. I scolded myself.

*********

"Hey Amanda." she said greeting my sister as we were eating breakfast.

Finally she was finished. She took forever getting ready.

"Hey, Leah. You okay?"

"Yeah." she said.
Her phone vibrated. She looked at it.

"I am going to go outside and get this. I'll be right back." she said.

She went through the sliding doors and out to the back yard.

We watched as she answered the phone.

We watched her as she talked to whoever was on the other line.

She nodded. She ended the call with whoever it was and punched in someone's number.

As soon as that person answered, the match started.

We could hear most of her conversation.

"How could you?" she screamed. "My publist saw you with her this morning. And apparently there are some new rumors speculating!"
She listened on the phone intently for a few seconds.

"You sure about that? You sure you are not lying to me!"

She listened to whoever was probably reassuring her.

"Fine! I believe you for this. But I cant get over what you did. It was all the magazines everywhere!"

"Amanda, what was on the magazine everywhere?" I asked her.

She hesitated.

"Tell me please?"

"Her boyfriend slept with her best friend."
