Chapter 7
1011 Words
You and I, right or wrong, there's no other one
After this time I spent alone
It's hard to believe that a man with sight could be so blind
Thinking' 'bout the better times, must've been out of my mind
So I'm running' back to tell you
All that I'm after is a life full of laughter
Without you God knows what I'd do
All that I'm after is a life full of laughter
As long as I'm laughing with you
I'm thinking' that all that still matters is love ever after
After the life we've been through
Cause I know there's no life after you"
Daughtry Life After You
It's a New Year.
I would say new year new me but I'd be lying.
The only thing new about me is that I'm faithful and loyal to Samantha.
Speaking of her for New Year’s I took her to a cabin out by this lake I always go to clear my mind.
She was shocked and almost cried.
She was happy and that was all that mattered to me.
We were back in school which was good cause it gave me something to do other than run the streets for Morris.
I was sitting in the back of my English with Samantha on my lap.
We weren't afraid to express our relationship to other people.
Who cared what they thought as long as we loved each other people could f**k off.
She was telling me what she wanted to do for Valentine's Day and her Birthday next month.
We were deep in our conversation that we didn't see Rebecca standing in front of us.
We looked up at her and she was mugging us.
Well mostly Samantha.
"Ummmm is there a problem Rebecca." Samantha asked her.
"I need to talk to Riah in private." Rebecca stated
"Anything you have to say to Riah you can say it in front of me." Samantha shot back
"Sure, why not. Riah I was wondering is Samantha as lose as the football team says she is considered that she has been with all of them."
The whole class erupted in laughter.
Samantha looked like she was about to cry.
She picked up her things and stormed out of the class.
"f**k Off Rebecca that wasn't called for."
"You don't need her Riah."
"You don't know what I need Rebecca I'm telling you this once f**k off leave Samantha alone or I will hurt you and that's a promise."
I picked up my things and went to find Samantha.
She wasn't no were in the school meaning she left.
I was so tired of people telling me Samantha wasn't what I needed.
How do they know what I need or what was right for me.
And it always be the people that once had a thing for me but got mad when I didn't give them the time of day.
All of this was making me upset.
All the rumors going on about Samantha around school are all lies.
How I know they are lies she's my best friend and I was her first.
People always talked down on Samantha because she was nothing like them or didn't do or have what they did.
Me I loved her just the way she was.
She didn't need anything designer clothes or thousand-dollaraccessories to impress me her personality did that alone.
I was so caught up in my thoughts that I didn't know I had ended up at my car.
I looked up to see Samantha leaning on it with her head in her hands.
I walked up to her and rapped my arms around her.
"Why does this always happen to me." She cried out
"Baby those people have no life they just pick on others for their own satisfaction."
"I've done nothing to no one and still the rumors the jokes the humiliation still continues to happen." She cried even harder
Seeing her this way made me want to call Morris for him to send some of the boys up here to teach these assholes a lesson.
"Maybe Rebecca is right Riah I'm not what you need everyone is right you don't need me."
I can't believe she was saying this.
"Baby I don't care about what other people say or believe you are just perfect for me. I love you and no one else can tell me otherwise. I chose you because I knew you were that special one,I've been looking for."
"But they think...."
"Damn its Samantha f**k what they think okay. It's not about them it's about us. What we want what we need. We want each other we need each other. Those people are just hating because we have something they want. Listening to them is just like giving up on this special bond we have. Ion care what they say only I know what is right for me and what I need. And that's you Sammy no one else."
I cupped her face in my hands and kissed her with so much love and passion.
I love Samantha with everything in me that if she left me it would hurt so much.
If I ever lost her, I don't think I will ever be the same again.
Yes, we are only 16 but I'm in love with her. Age isn’t nothing but a number you can fall in love at any age. I think. But I'm in love at sixteen with my sixteen-year-old best friend also the girl of my dreams.
I pulled away from the kiss and looked at her in her eyes.
"I LOVE YOU❤" I told her
"I LOVE YOU TOO❤"
Those words brought a smile to my face.
"I don't want to go back into the school can we just go home."
"Sure, baby whatever you want."
I unlocked my door and opened it for her.
Once she was in, I closed the door and went to my side.
I got in started the car and left the school.
