The Boy Next Door

Chapter 8

Sam's P.O.V.

I wake up. I'm sitting on the couch, pretty little liars playing, Blake next to me, I look at my hand, no cast.

Wait, was that all a dream? Ugh it felt so real! Wait... Am I getting feelings for blake? I can't, stop Sam, he has a girlfriend. And your still dating brad. Ok. This is good right? That means Blake doesn't know about the little incident!

I look around and my big toe is in Blake's mouth. "Aw gross!" I yell. He wakes up and noticed the toe in his mouth. I pull my foot away and he is scraping his tongue. I start laughing. He shoots a glare at me.

"WE'RE HUNGRY!!! ITS FOUR IN THE AFTERNOON GIVE US FOOD PEASANTS." Trevor yells at me. I look at him. "I mean, um, may you please make us some food? We love you?" "Better, where'd you get peasant anyway?" "I wasn't snooping through your phone if that's what your asking." "TREVOR!" I groan and go to the kitchen. "Blake, what can we make them?" "Who knows, you make them something, I'm going back to sleep."

That's when I knew I didn't have feelings for him, I wanted to kill him. I grab his ear and haul him into the kitchen. "Find food for them, NOW." I command. His eyes go big and he looks for food. "How bout chicken noodle soup?" "K your making it though." "Whatever."

I go back into the living room and talk to Trevor and Ben.

Blake comes in 10 minutes later, with 4 bowls of soup. "Soup for all! But, I don't think Sam deserves it, she's sassy." "Haha. Very funny." I say sarcastically. "See?" He says motioning to me. I throw a noodle at him.

"I'm eating in my room, I'm not gonna have noodles thrown at me." Blake says getting up. He leaves and I'm trying to hold back laughter, after I think he's gone, I let loose, and I am laughing so hard. He comes back in and says, "I heard that Parker." He says sitting back on the couch. "Whatever loser."

"So, it's 5 right now, but my mom just texted me saying the storm should be over by tomorrow morning." I say. "Good, I don't like girls in my house." "I think me and Trevor are gonna go home now, I don't think I can stand you for another night." "Get struck by lighting." Blake tells me. "Only in your dreams!"

He glares at me. I smirk. "Toodles!" I say with a wave of my fingers. Me and my brother quickly run out into the rain and I quickly unlocked our front door, not sure if the power was on or not. We come inside and it's really quiet except for the steady pound of the rain.

I automatically go up to my room, yelling to Trevor, "if you need me, come get me!" Then I close my door and pull out my laptop. I plug my phone in and decide to download some new songs.

I get Stick Around- watercolor, Oh Hell- SoMo, Floats My Boat- Aer, No Interruption, No Faith in Brooklyn, Make it Home- all by Hoodie Allen, A Million Lives, Collide, and Carry On- both by Jake Miller, and LA Story and Only One by Sammy Adams. (These actually were the last songs I downloaded.)

I listen to them, turning it up to a little over half. I just zone out everything, thinking about everything, the kiss in the closet, the dream, it was all bothering me so much.

I pull my phone out of my pocket, going to call. I find Brad's number.

I press call really slow.

"Hello?" He says. "Um, hey brad." I say. "Hey babe? What's wrong?" "Um, I uh, I kinda, um kissed another guy, but before you freak out just hear me out!" I say, really rushed." "K, explain." He says in a dead voice. "Well, my brother went over to the neighbors and then I had to rush over, because I was late because I slept in and then it started to rain and then I had to stay because a huge storm had come and Trevor wanted to stay so I had to stay and they made us play sharks and minnows, you know, the game were it's backward hide and seek? Well Blake had to hide first and I found him, then his brother, Ben, locked us in the closet and it was super cramped and then we kinda kissed and I felt nothing." Ya, ok I was lying about the not feeling anything part, but I didn't want to hurt brad any more. "So then we stopped immediately and then things got really awkward, cause, ya know, I have a boyfriend and he has a girlfriend so, then the door opened and we fell out and I landed on him and that's all that happened." I said that all in a rush, scared of brads response. The last time one of his girlfriends cheated on him, he started a lot of fights. I didn't want to see that again.
