Sorry it's been forever since I updated this!

I left the last chapter off with somewhat of a cliffhanger. So, let's just go ahead and start this chapter.

Enjoy!

Chris' POV

"Wha-what?" I stammered, unable to make sense of what I was seeing.

"That's another guy stealing your girl," Danny said in a slow voice, like I didn't understand what was going on. I could understand the situation fine; I was just having trouble believing it.

"Who even is that?" I asked. "I've never seen him before." The boy with Sam looked our age, and he was at least four or five inches taller then Sam. (Which put him either three or four inches taller than me.) He had sun tanned skin and blonde hair. (I couldn't see his eyes yet.)

"So, do you wanna just sit here and let him walk away with Sam, or do you wanna go over there and beat him up?" Danny asked. I turned to him slowly and glared at him. Danny put on his best innocent face.

"Let's find a happy medium," I replied, getting up and walking over to Sam and the mystery boy. I heard Danny following me.

"Happy medium, ok. What's your plan?" he asked as he caught up to me.

"Ask them what's going on?" I replied with a question.

"Well that's no fun," Danny said, sounding disappointed.

"Whatever. Just come on," I responded as we met up with the duo. "Hey Sam."

"Oh, h-hi guys," Sam said, looking down. She seemed nervous, and upset.

"Who's your friend?" I asked, quickly looking at the guy.

"This is Adrien," Sam answered, still looking down. "Adrien Hyson." I looked at Adrien, and saw his purple eyes gleaming with a wicked accomplishment. Almost like he knew I liked Sam and was purposely trying to take her from me.

"Are you new here?" Danny asked. He looked confused. "I don't think I've seen you around before."

"Yeah. I'm just here for a little while. You won't be seeing much of me in a few days," Adrien replied in a cool voice, his eyes never leaving me.

"Sam, when did you meet this guy?" Danny asked, obviously not sensing the same hostile vibes from this guy as I was. Otherwise he'd sound more hostile himself and much less confused.

"Last night," Sam answered, still avoiding looking at the two of us.

"That's it?" Danny asked. "That's all you're going say? You don't have anything else to tell your best friends?"

"She doesn't have to tell you anything more," Adrien snapped. "You aren't in charge of her."

"And neither are you," I said, realizing that I didn't like this guy and not just because he seemed to have Sam. Something was definitely not right about this guy.

"You'd be surprised," Adrien said, returning his gaze to me, the wicked glint seeming to intensify.

"What are you talking about? Don't you know that possessive relationships never work?" Danny pointed out, still not picking up on the 'there is way more to this than who's dating Sam' vibe.

"Who says I was talking about our relationship?" Adrien replied. That comment hurt. Our relationship. That confirmed it; Sam was dating this Adrien guy.

"I'm confused," Danny stated the obvious. "What else could you possibly be talking about?"

"Danny, just drop it, ok?" Sam said, finally looking up. Her eyes looked dull and lifeless. Something was wrong here. "I'm with Adrien now and… and my family is moving away with his in a few days." That comment was shocking.

"What?" Danny and I asked at the same time.

"I'm leaving Single Town in three days," Sam repeated with a little more confidence. (Which was faked by the way.) "And because I'm leaving, I'm quitting the MBC."

"But… Sam… NO! That… that can't be!" Danny stammered, unable to believe what he was hearing. I couldn't believe it either, but I couldn't even speak. Sam was… leaving?

"Yes, Danny. I'm moving away. How can I stay part of something so far away?" Sam asked.

"But Sam, you can't leave," Danny said as if he'd just thought of something really important. "You need to know that…"

"Danny, no matter what you say, I'm leaving and that's the end of it," Sam cut him off. She then proceeded to take off her v-com and handed it to Danny. "I'm sorry."

And with that, Adrien led Sam away. Danny and I stood there in a stunned silence for what felt like forever. Sam and Adrien didn't seem to fade though. And I took that as I sign to make what seemed like one last attempt to win Sam back.

"SAM, WAIT!" I called after her as I chased the duo down. Sam stopped and turned to face me, and so did Adrien. I stopped running when I caught up to them.

"Did you read the letter?" I asked, slightly out of breath.

"The letter?" Sam asked. "No, I never go the chance to. Why, do you know what it said?"

"Well yeah, I wrote it," I admitted, forgetting momentarily that I hadn't told her who it was from initially. "It said…"

"Don't," Adrien said in a cold, hard tone. "She's mine now, and nothing you say will ever change that. You've lost; deal with it." I glared hard at Adrien, letting him know through that glance that nothing he said would stop me.

"The letter said…"

SMACK!

And Adrien's fist met my face. The force of the blow knocked me straight to the ground. In fact, I felt the ground before anything else. I didn't even feel the pain where he'd hit me until later.

I'd heard Sam gasp when he'd hit me, and I'd also seen Adrien possessively grip her hand. When I looked up at the two of them, Adrien was glaring at me as though I'd been the one to hit him.

"Sam?" I tried, hating the pleading sound in my voice.

"I'm sorry, Chris. I choose Adrien," Sam said, her tone sad and unreal. I realized later that there had been tears in her eyes as she'd said that. But right at that moment, as I'd watched the girl I'd truly fallen in love with walk away with another guy, I couldn't feel anything. Just the sting of the last words Sam had said. I choose Adrien.

I don't actually know if they can take the v-coms off or not. But I have a purpose for it being off later, so yeah. If I made a mistake, I apologize.

I really want to know what you all thought of this chapter. I'm not super happy with it to be honest. What to you all think? Reviews would be very much appreciated.
