"How's it going Hastings?"Alison asked coming to stand next to me. "What do you want?" "I came over to see if you and Emily made up."She replied with a sinister smile. "I don't think that has anything to do with you."I spat turning to her. "Spencer, Spencer, Spencer what goes on with you and Emily has everything to do with me now."She said in a sing song voice. "I'm going to steal Emily away from you, I'm going to take from you what you took from me and the best part about it is, theres nothing you can do about it."She said walking off.
Could Alison really steal Emily away from me? Would Emily really fall for Alison's game and leave me for her? Would she listen if I told her what Alison plans on doing? She'd have to believe me right? She hardly knows Alison, theres no way she would take Alison's side over mine.
I watched as Alison made her way to Emily, to my Emily but not before she threw me a smirk. I watched as she threw her arm around Emily's shoulder and pulled Emily into her side.
Rage shot through me as my hands balled into fist at my sides. I don't know what Alison is playing at,I know she wants to hurt me but I don't know if she really like Emily or if she's just trying to get back at me. Who am I kidding? Of course Alison would like Emily, who wouldn't?
Alison lips moved as she whispered something in Emily's ear causing Emily to give her a smile. They talk for a few minutes before Emily removes Alison's arm from her shoulder and walks over to where I'm standing.
By now all I'm seeing is red, I'm angry at Alison for wanting to break Emily and I up when we just got together, I'm angry that Emily just lets Alison flirt with her, I'm angry because I know that what Alison wants she gets. If she wants to steal Emily away from me she will, she stops at nothing to get what she wants, no matter if it hurts someone else.
I won't go down without a fight, I'll fight to the death for Emily and I'll do everything in my power to keep Alison away from Emily.
"Hey you okay?"Emily asked taking one of my hands in her own. "No, you can't hang out with her Em..." "Spencer you can't tell me who I can and can't hang out with."She said cutting me off. She crossed her arms over her chest and glared at me. Well that's great, now she's mad at me again.
"Emily you don't understand, Alison wants to break us up, she wants to get back at me for taking Alex from her. I'm not trying to control you Em, I'd never do that to you Baby I'm trying to keep us together."I whispered stepping closer to her but she just takes a step back.
"Then trust me Spencer, I won't let her come between us but there is no us if you don't trust me."She said raising her voice till she realized that we were still outside of the school's pool, with over a hundred people around us. "I do trust you Em, I trust you more than anyone else, I trust you with everything in me." "Then act like it."She spat.
"Emmy, great race Baby girl."Mr. Fields said throwing his arms around Emily and pulling her into a hug. "Thanks Dad."She said hugging him back. "Hey Spen, are you going to be joining us for dinner tonight?"Mr. Fields asked turning to me. "I would love to..."I started till I looked over at Emily. Her arms are crossed again and she's frowning at me. Looks like she doesn't want me to go.
"But my Mom wants me home for dinner tonight."I said giving him a small smile. "Well do you think you could pick Emily up for school tomorrow?"Mrs. Fields asked coming to stand next to her husband and Emily. "Of course, well I'll see guys later. Be safe Mr. Fields and come home soon."I said giving him a hug.
After giving him and Pam a hug, I step in front of Emily. "I love you."I whispered kissing her forehead. "I love you too."
I leave the three of them standing there and head to my car. "Hey Spencey, want to go get something to eat since I know that your parents don't want you home for dinner?"Aria asked getting in the car with me. I look over at her and smile at the shorter girl sitting next to me. "Sounds like a plan."
-oOo-
"Alex told me you were thinking about Sam today, wanna talk about it?"Aria asked as we sat down at a small table outside of the RoseWood Grill. "You talked to Alex?"I asked looking over the menu in front of me.
Why would Alex tell anyone I was thinking about Sam? It's not like it's a big deal.
"Yeah, she was worried about you, said you spaced out and afterwards you didn't seem like yourself. She still cares about you, she threw what you two had away but she still cares, it's sweet really."
Aria looked like she wanted to say more but was stopped by someone coming to take our order. "What made you think about her?"She asked staring at me from across the table.
"I'm not sure, maybe Alex bringing her up. I hate thinking about her, it makes me remember who weak I was."I said balling my hands into fist. I don't know why I get so mad when I think about how weak and helpless I was then. I don't get mad at Sam for what she did, I get mad at myself for not stopping it and letting it go on for six months.
"When was the first time she hit you?"
I look down at my hands and start to play with the hem of my shirt, not meeting Aria's eyes. I don't want to talk about this, about her, about the things she did to me but I guess I need to. It's the only way I will ever get over things.
"The day she told me she loved me, I didn't say it back right away. I was fourteen, I was scared of what loving someone meant but I did love her."
It was July, a Monday I believe. We had just gotten back from a date when we went to the barn to watch a movie and hang out a little longer till she had to be home. I remember everything smell and sound that night, it's forever burned in my memory and no matter what I can't forget it.
-oOo-
"Spencer, don't worry about the popcorn just come sit with me."Sam called from the living room. I made my way out the kitchen and in to the living room, taking a seat next to Sam on the couch. "I have to tell you something."She whispered turning me to look at her.
My heart rate picked up as I look at the girl before me. What does she have to tell me that has her looking so scared? Oh God, please tell me she isn't breaking up with me. Please God, I'm begging you, I'm happy and I want to stay that way.
I pushed a stray blonde hair behind her ear and stared into her dark green eyes. "Whatever it is you can tell me Sammy."I said earning a smile from my girlfriend of a month an a half.
It seemed longer than that, it felt like we've known each other forever and have been dating ever since. I guess when you're happy, time doesn't matter.
"I'm just going to come right out and say it, I love you Spencer."She said smiling down at me and taking my hands in her own. She brought each hand up to her lips and kissed each knuckle.
She loves me? How could she love someone as plain and boring as me? Why would she love me?
I should say something, tell her I love her too because I do I think, but I'm scared. What if she doesn't really love me? What if this is all a game to her and she's just playing me?
I'm fourteen do i even know what love really is? I've never felt loved by anyone but my friends. My family doesn't make me feel loved. What if I tell her I love her then come to find out, I don't really love her?
"You can't even say it back."She yelled moving off the couch and standing over me. "What do you not love me? Do you love someone else? Hanna? Aria? No Emily, you love her don't you? I see the way you look at her, like she's just God's gift to the world."She shouted leaning over me and in my face.
I watch in shock and fear as her hand slaps me across the face and she grips my arm tight holding me in place.. I stare up at her as I touch the cheek she slapped. It's hot from the slap and hurts to touch. Tears fill my eyes as I stare up at the girl who says she loves me.
That's no love though, it can't be you don't hurt the people you love.
Sam's face turns from anger to regret as she kneels in front of me, letting go of my arm. "Spencer, I'm so sorry, I don't know what came over me."She said reaching for my hand but I pull away and move away from her.
"I think you should go."I whispered moving to the front door of the barn and opening it for her. The tears I tried to hold in started to fall as I stared at the floor. "Spencer please I love you, I didn't mean too I swear."She whispered coming to stand in front of me.
"I know, I just want to be alone."
I didn't really want to be alone, I wanted to be around anyone but her. I don't understand how she could just hit me without a second thought, like I'm just dirt to her, like I'm someone who she can just use as a punching bag.
My tears fell faster and turned into hreatwreching sobs as I stood holding the door open for the girl I thought I loved and I thought loved me.
She placed a kiss to my forehead and left, after telling me how sorry she was and that she loved me again.
Once I shut the door I slide down it, wrapping my arms around my body as I cried.
-oOo-
"All because you didn't say I love you back?"Aria asked looking at me with tear filled eyes. I nod my head yes and push my food around the plate.
That was only the start of what she did to me. Like an idiot I forgave her and let her back in to my life and heart. She was great for about a week, she didn't get mad at me, we didn't fight or yell, everything was good till I cancled plans with her to hang out with Emily when her Dad was deployed to Iraq.
"I knew what she did to you but I never knew that it start over something so little as you not saying I love you back right away." "I'm so sorry you had to go through that Spencer, I wish we had seen what she was doing and stopped her."Aria said placing her hand on mine.
"I was the only who stayed I could have left but I didn't, it's not your fault."I said flashing her a smile.
You know when you watch those movies that the Husband abuses their Wife, and you're always wondering why the wife stays? They stay because they hope and pray that one day it will stop and their husbands will go back to the sweet and loving person they knew. But they never go back to that, they never changed and the wife always stays because they believe he will.
That's why I stayed with Sam, I thought she would changed and we would be okay. After awhile she got tried of me and left, even after everything she did it still broke my heart.
"We still should have protected you Spencer."She whispered, sadness flashing across her eyes. "I hid it Ari, no one knew I didn't want anyone to know how weak I was."
"You weren't weak, you were alot stronger than anyone I know. Most people would have broke down if that happened to tell, they would have given up but you didn't Spencer, you stayed because you loved Sam, a love she did not deserve and you believed that she would change."
"I was stupid for believing she would change Aria, don't make it out to be something it wasn't please. Can we just talk about something else?"I asked pushing my plate away from me. I hardly ate anything on it despite how hungry I was when we first got her.
"Of course."She said giving me a sad smile. "How's Ezra?"I asked.
Okay well there you have it, more on Sam and the start on what all she did to Spencer. Thank you guys for reading and reviewing the last chapter :) I happy to have this chapter out alot quicker than I thought it would be. Either the next chapter or the one after that is going to be all flashbacks of Sam. So I need you guys to let me know if you want good moments of Sam or bad ones. Either way you will get both in the future, just want to know which one you would like first.
Alison will be stepping up her game and messing with Spencer alot more in the next few chapters, so anyone wanting to see more of her will get that.
Jamscottroc54- I'm happy you think the chapter was worth the wait and I hope you're happy with more back story on Sam. Yes Sam does seem nice at first and at times she is but that's not who she really is. Not alot of Alison drama in this chap but there will be more don't worry. Thank you so much for the reviews, sorry it took so long to get back to you.
Craycrayforshay- Alex still views spencer as a friend, so of course she's still going to care when though she is the one who broke spencer's heart. Don't worry Hanna will get over the kate thing, Spencer's just going to have to make it up to her. Happy you liked chap 26 :) Thanks for the review.
Guest-Hope this little bit on Sam holds you over till we get more into her and Spencer's past. Of course Em is going to comfort Spence, what kind of gf would she be if she didn't? Thank you for the review and for reading :)
Valerie2100- Heres some Sam flashbacks for ya, hope you enjoy :) Happy you loved the chap :) thanks for reveiwing.
Hunnybear108-Everyone seem to be happy about Alex and Spencer clearing the air, which I'm happy about, I didn't think you guys would like seeing Alex back. Alison as always is up to no good ;) Alison may or may not have a crush on Em, only time will tell. Yes I think it's very important that Emily spends time with her dad before he leaves. Thank you for the review, you know I love em :)
