⚠️SA Warning ⚠️

Sam

I was going to do it, I was, but as soon as I saw Ben in my dorm room, the thought of breaking up with him left me sick to my stomach with guilt.

"Hey baby," he greeted me when I opened the door. I gave him a smile, hoping he couldn't see my discomfort as he leaned in and kissed me. The kiss didn't feel the same as it usual did. Usually, kissing him made me feel at ease. Now I just felt... nothing.

We pulled back. "So, what did you want to talk to me about?" He asked me, walking into my dorm and sitting on my bed. I closed the door and walked over to sit next to him.

Okay, Sam, you can do this. Just tell him it's not working out. No, tell him you guys are moving too fast. Tell him 'it's not you, it's me'. "Um, well..." I took a deep breath and looked Ben in the eyes. His innocent eyes that I was about to make sad. "There's a party tonight that Kai and I are going to. I wanted you to come."

You stupid, dumb, idiotic frickhead.

"Eh, a party?" He questioned like going to parties was below him.

"Yes, please, you never go with me." Maybe I just needed to remind myself that Ben actually can be fun and remember the reason I started dating him in the first place. A night out could help.

At least, that's what I told myself.

"I really don't want to go, and you shouldn't either."

"Why? It's Saturday night. Plus, I already promised Kai I'd go with him, but it'd be much more fun with you there."

He looked like he'd rather do anything else, but he gave in, "Fine, I guess. But we're not staying late."

"We won't," I promised, leaning in to kiss him, but things took a turn for us at the party and I saw Ben as clear as day for the first time.

Ben and I drove to the party while Kai met us there since he was coming from his girlfriend's house. Kai got there first and was already taking photos of people partying. I smiled, he was really going to be the best photographer one day.

Then his camera turned on Ben and I before putting his camera down to hang around his neck, "You guys made it!"

"Didn't think we would?" I questioned lightheartedly.

Kai looked at Ben then back at me and shrugged, "Didn't know if you'd change your mind. But I'm glad you didn't," he had a broad smile, "I captured Dylan cheating on Quinn. I can't wait to show her."

I didn't know who those people were, but I couldn't help but laugh, "I think you find too much joy in catching people cheat."

"It's a full time job," Kai deadpanned.

"Pfft okay, well we're gonna go find something to drink," I said, grabbing Ben's hand and dragging us towards the kitchen. I grabbed a red solo cup and Ben took it from me, "Hey."

"You're not drinking tonight. Please, we're not gonna be here for long anyway."

"Ben," I tugged on his button up shirt, getting him to step closer to me, "Loosen up. We're at a party, I know you don't care for them, but try to have a good time, okay?" I asked.
