Chapter 2:

Sam's P.O.V.

The streets were busy that Sunday night. I looked across the street at the cross light when all of a sudden I saw Freddie. He was crossing. Was he crazy!? I saw a car speeding down, but it was a red light, and a drunk driver, great. I quickly ran as fast my little legs could carry me and pushed him with so much force and we fell on the side walk away from the driver. He smiled up at me and whispered, "You saved my life."

"Oh, it was nothing."

"Nothing," he said pushing me off him, with me landing on the sidewalk floor and him laying on his side looking at me in amazement, "it was everything." He finished. Then he leaned in and laid his lips on –

There was a loud beeping sound and my eyes flew open. Ugh! Dreaming again, sadly. I got up and got ready for my next miserable day. Wait wasn't it Saturday? Oh good, no school, back to bed I went, once again, and hopefully Freddork wouldn't interrupt my dreams. The Lord knows it would only hurt me more. I woke up once again, this time it because of Melanie.

"Guess what!" she screeched in excitement.

I groaned "What?" I said while I turned to her with the look of annoyance.

"A boy named Jake asked me out!" she screeched even louder.

Great she hadn't even been there for a week and she already had a boyfriend. What was so bad about me? Was it because I was stronger then half those wimps? Or was I not pretty enough? Maybe the boys were all simply just afraid of me. There was the beating myself down part. I hated this!! Why did this have to happen to me? Why did I have to fall in love with Freddork? Why couldn't I just tell Carly when I started having feelings for him? Why did I just have to fall in love knowing that I would always get my heart broken in the end? Why did the girl in the story always have to end up broken hearted; why couldn't she get her freaking fairytale ending? Cinderella taught you nothing in life! It just made you think you will all of a sudden meet your freaking Prince Charming at a ball, you will lose you glass slipper when its not even slippers it's high heels and then at the end he finds you and you ride into the sunset. Newsflash! It doesn't happen in real life Cinderella producers! Ugh great just fantastic. I was jealous of a fairytale story.

"Hello!!" I snapped back and Melanie was snapping her fingers in front of my face screaming Hello.

"What?" I asked her with an innocent look on my face.

"Let me guess you were going off about fairytales in you head and how they don't happen in real life etc?"

I looked at her in disbelief. "Damn you're good." I heard the words coming out of my mouth.

"Well first off I am your twin sister, second I have known you since the womb."

"And your point?" I asked her.

She sighed, "My point is I know how you are," She glanced at my iHome which was holding my iPod, "Oh shit!" She yelled out.

"What?"

"I promised mom I would go grocery shopping with her then lunch and a movie I said I'd meet her there I'm going to be late!"

"So go."

"You going to be okay by yourself, because if you want to come you can."

"Nah I'm fine I kind of want to be alone anyway."

"Okay, bye, I'll see you later." And with that she left. I turned my iPod on and Broken-Hearted Girl by Beyonce came on. I listened and just lay there on my bed looking at the ceiling thinking of none other then Freddie. He surfaced my mind taking up all the space in it. My brain was full of memories of cute and funny moments and when I would look at him from across the room and take a picture with my mind. Oh and those eyes ugh how I loved those eyes so damn much! I was now daydreaming. We were at the school dance and from across the room Freddie and Carly were fighting. I felt bad for Freddie I hated seeing him upset; it broke my heart into millions of pieces. They eventually stormed off away from each other and I decided to go over to Freddie and comfort him. My daydream was soon interrupted by a knock at the door. I got up and went to go answer it when I opened the door I gasped.

"DAD!?"

"Hey Sammy," he was the only one who was allowed to call me that. I smiled big and threw my arms around him giving him a big hug.

"I missed you dad." I whispered in his ear.

"I missed you too kid."

"Come in, I'll help you put your stuff away."

After I got my dad settled we decided to watch a movie, but we didn't really pay attention so we just shut the T.V. off and decided to go out for lunch since Mel and my mom were out. We decided to have fun ourselves. Between Melanie and I, I was a mirror image of my father. What people didn't know is that if you stared at Melanie long enough you could see a lot of my mother in her, like the color of her eyes were brown and her nose was just like my mothers. I still couldn't believe Freddie though Melanie was me I mean all you had to do was look in her eyes she had brown when mine were blue. Not just that she had a completely different style of clothing then me she wore pink when I couldn't stand the color, Mel wasn't a complete girly girl she knew how to be tough when she needed too, but she was obsessed with the color pink I literally never seen someone as obsessed as her. My father and I ended up going to Applebee's, one of my favorite places. Darlene came up to take our order.

"The usually Sam?"

"Yes, please Darlene."

"I thought so I already got it on the stove for ya it should almost be done," she looked over at my father for a second and stared a little, "Danny?"

My dad looked up at the women, "Darlene," he said with a smile. He quickly got up and gave her a hug. "Damn it's been a long time."

"I know, I haven't seen you since high school."

I looked back and forth at each of them with a very confused expression on my face.

Then my dad turned to me, "Sam, sweetie, this was my high school girlfriend."

Joy, my father was introducing me to a women he possibly did a lot of things using glow in the dark condoms. "Uh, cool?" I didn't know what the hell to say. All I knew is that he better not have cheated on my mother with this chick or any other tramp.

"So, I'm guessing you want what you usually got when we went out." She said smiling at him.

"You got it," he said smiling back.

I waited till she walked away then turned to my father and just looked at him.

"What?"

"You don't do you?"

"Get feelings for her when I see her? No, no. When we ended our relationship we agreed to stay best friends before we dated we were best friends and when I ended it I asked if we could go back to being that way she agreed and liked my plan but when we graduated we failed to keep in contact."

"And that's all right?"

"What, you think I'm going to cheat on your mother?" He said amused at the thought. I just kept looking at him.

He laughed, "No, I'm not going to have an affair, I love your mother very, very much, she's the most beautiful women I have ever met and gave me two incredible and beautiful daughters." I smiled at him. One of the waiters bought out my steak and I began to eat while I smiled at him and he did also. We caught up on many things and he told me about his experience in Iraq and I told him what I was going through and he told me that Freddie must have been a stupid boy if he didn't realize what was in front of him. I didn't tell him the part about the girlfriend being Carly I didn't like being jealous of her.

I missed talking to my friends but I knew if I did I would only hurt more, and even just thinking about it hurt more. When we got home Mel and my mom walked in about 10 minutes after laughing and my mother stopped at the door way smiling at my father he smiled back. My mother ran over to him and obviously gave him a big kiss it was cute even though out loud Mel and I yelled 'Ew.' When I went to bed that night I prayed to have a relationship like my parents did when I was older. After so many years and getting pregnant at a young age they still loved each other very much and I loved that about them. It seemed as if nothing would ever pull them apart and the thought of that made me happy.
