*Samantha's POV*

After seeing Aura with her arms around Oliver and storming off, I went to my room and starting throwing what little belongings I had in my suitcase. I had no idea how I was gonna get home but there was no reason left for me to stay. I only came because of Oliver but there's obviously something going on between the two of them. I can't believe she would do this to me. I told her a few months ago I liked someone, and even though I didn't tell her who, I thought it was quite obvious. I mean it's not like I haven't dropped major hints that it was Oliver, but it's whatever. I heard someone walk in but deliberately ignored them. "What are you doing?" Aura asked. "What does it look like I'm doing? I'm leaving." I replied, my voice laced with venom. "Would you please just hear me out?" she pleaded in a tone so sad that I couldn't ignore her. I threw my bag on the floor and sat down, waiting for her to start explaining. "What you saw out there was nothing. I don't like him like that and you should know that Sam. These past few days have been really stressful and he asked me if I was okay and I just kind of broke down. I was the one to hug him first. He was just being nice." she said, her eyes filled with tears. "Why would you do that to me?" I asked. She looked at me with a confused expression and replied, "I didn't know that you liked him Sam. I guess if I had really thought about it, I should have known though. I'm sorry I hurt you, but I didn't do it on purpose. If it makes you feel any better, I think he might have a crush on you. He looked so devastated when you stormed off." Even though I was still a little hurt, I couldn't stay mad at her. She's one of my best friends and didn't judge me when I overdosed last year. Smiling, I replied, "It's okay, I understand. I probably overreacted and I'm sorry. I know you wouldn't hurt me on purpose." I thought for a few minutes then added, "Do you really think he likes me though? Or are you just trying to make me feel better?" I heard her chuckle then say "I really do think he likes you. You should have seen his face when he saw you were upset. I think you should go talk to him." "Thanks girl." I said and then left to find him.

After searching the whole house, I finally found him sitting alone on an old swing in the back yard. His back was to me so he didn't see me walk up. "Hey.." I said as I sat down beside him. "Hey Sam." he replied, not looking at me. "Look, I just wanted to say I was sorry for overreacting earlier. I don't know what came over me." I said. "I was worried about you. I've never seen you so upset, and the worst part is I didn't know why at first. I hope you're not mad, but I kinda made Aura tell me. She said that you have a crush on me. Or that she thinks you do at least. Is..is that true?" he asked. My cheeks instantly grew hot as I thought of how to respond. "I've had a crush on you for a while. I never said anything though cause I didn't think you felt the same way and I didn't wanna make it weird between us." He didn't say anything for a few seconds then started laughing. "What's so funny?" I demanded. "I can't believe it." he said. "I've liked you since the first time I met you. I never said anything cause you were with Chester and I wouldn't do that to him. When you guys broke up, I just didn't think that you would ever go out with someone like me." "What do you mean someone like you?" I asked. "Well, I mean lets face it. I'm no Chester. I'm...well..I'm just me. Average, ordinary me." he replied. I couldn't believe how little he thought of himself. How can he not see that he's everything I ever wanted in a guy. Sweet, funny, caring, and his blond-haired, blue-eyed looks were definitely an added bonus. "Oliver, that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. You're far from ordinary. How can you not see that?" I asked. "It's a long story. Something I don't really like talking about." he replied. "Well, if you ever wanna talk, I'm here okay?" I said. We sat in silence for a few minutes but it started getting cold. I stood up to go inside and he grabbed my hand. "Thank you." he whispered. "For what?" "For being you." he said with a smile then leaned in and kissed me.
