Unknown Number

Part 23

EDITED

Sam's POV

School slowly drags on and soon enough it is over. Throughout the rest of the school day, all my friends and I decided to have a big ol' sleepover at my house. My mom doesn't mind and who cares if it is Monday?

My mother told me that she will be out of town but my brother will be home while my dad works and my twin sisters stay over at a friend's house.

I get home and change into some sweatpants and a Vans T-shirt. Sliding my black TOMs on, I grab a wad of money and tuck it into my pocket. I grab the car keys and head out to the car.

I drive to Walgreens and when I get there go inside. With a cart, I go down the different aisles, picking out all kinds of junk food we will need to consume tonight. Welcome to teenage life.

When I reach the frozen section, I am pushed up again the freezer and a gasp escapes my mouth. Why isn't there anybody else down this aisle?

I open my closed eyes to meet those brown orbs. What is he doing here? Why is he not in Florida? I thought he was going to be a part of my past, not my present or future.

"What are you doing here, Justin?" I hiss at him. He has no right to be near me anymore, but yet with his body pressed against mine, I realize I have missed him a little. We had gotten pretty close in a short amount of time. But why should I miss him or get close to him? He did some very horrible things.

"I need you, Sam," comes out of that perfectly shaped mouth of his. I roll my eyes.

"Get that girl of yours," I spit at him. "You shouldn't be here and I don't want you here. You need to just leave me alone." I push at his chest but he doesn't budge.

"You know well that you want me as close to you as I want you close to me," he says and I mentally agree with him. I shake my head, trying to clear those thoughts out of my head. Why am I thinking like this? I'm supposed to hate this dude.

"Think again." I push at his chest again and he backs away. He looks a little confused. I don't need this. I grab ahold of my cart and push it to the check out. No way am I going to stay in this grocery store any longer with him.

But I become a little more nervous because he really is back in Minnesota. And I don't think there is anything stopping him from trying to get me again.
