Beyond Her Promises (editing)(Complete)

Part 7

Sammy's P.OV:

                            I came out of the shower and found Amber awake and sitting. She was looking at me like she wanted to say something but still she was quiet.. so I started...

"How you're feeling now?"

"much better. Thanks" she said, blushing again... that's cute...

"that's great. I'm happy that you feel better. now, you wait for me here while I'll go and get you your breakfast "

"no, I can come with you downstairs.. I'm fine" she says standing up but I quickly stop her...

"Amber you are not fully recovered. now be a good girl and listen to me. I'll be bck in no time... "

"okay.. just be careful of your hand... " she said smiling with that cute blush still there...

"deal" I said to her and went downstairs to get her breakfast with coffee...

As soon as I was done making breakfast I took it upstairs where Amber was waiting for me. I put breakfast infront of her and her coffee, then she thanked me and I nodded with a smile.. after that I gave her medicine and told her to lay down and took the dishes downstairs....

It took me sometime before I went back upstairs and I saw her reading the book from my night stand.. I went to her and sat on the chair beside her...

"may I check your temperature ?" I asked Amber and she nodded quietly... and It was way better now... then I sat silently beside her while she continued reading book.. I wanted to ask her about her dad but I didn't want to upset her... maybe she saw me stressing when she asked

"Sammy, you alright ?" ah... damn when she says my name...

"nothing it's just something you said last nigh...about.... your father... " I must have hit the wrong topic because the next thing I know, tears start forming in those beautiful eyes....

"hey.. dont worry... It's ok if you don't wanna talk.. it's fine..." I sat beside her and held her hand...

"it's fine... I was 17 when he died... We were in a car accident and I survived but he didn't... I saw him laying right next to me, drenched in blood while he was stretching him arm to reach out to me but I couldn't move... I kept shouting for him to keep his eyes open.. I begged him to not leave me... but the next thing I remember, I woke up in a hospital with both my legs broken... and my dad... he was gone... and just like that, my whole life fell apart..."

After everything she just told me.... I couldn't do anything else for her so I just hugged her.... and quickly she wrapped her arms around me.... and she wept on my shoulder.... I just hugged her back tight and let her cry for some time.... then she spoke again..

"my mom was never really there for me not even when dad was alive... she was more into business... then an year later she married Robert, my dad's partner who already had a son same my age... she wasn't there for me when I mourned my dad... she wasn't there for me when I came out... she was never there... so now I live alone and as far away from her as possible..."

I was still holding her... honestly I didn't wanna let go but I had to or else she will keep crying... so I moved back and cupped both her cheeks while rubbing my thumbs on them wiping away the tears...

"ssshhhh... ok now no more crying... we don't have to talk about mama bear again ok? just stop crying please... " I told her looking in her eyes trying to make her smile...

"okay.." she said smiling... Thank God... I just can't stand her crying...

"now that's like a good girlfriend " i said winking and she slapped my arm and we both burst into laughter...

"God ! you're definately better now, you hit pretty hard" I said faking pain while her hand was like cotton...

"well, you deserve it" she said blushing... those adorable cheeks blushing at something I said...

Amber's P.O.V:

                            after a long argument with Sammy she has finally allowed me to leave her room and come downstairs with her to prepare dinner. While she was working I sat on the Island helping her cutting vegetables for pasta she was making for me that I told her was my favourite..

"Sammy, can you tell me now? about the money and what you need it for? maybe I can help you with that.." I could see her body tense from behind and then she stopped, turned around and sat on the chair beside me.

"I need it because I....... I have to save someone.... someone I loved...." her answer caught me off guard... I wasn't ready for this...

"what do you mean? is someone in trouble? what are you talking about..." I was going crazy about all these questions when she held my hand and I have no idea how, but it calmed me down...

"I'll tell you everything... but after dinner... right now lets get through this and then we'll talk.." I nodded in response...

After dinner, which was delicious, we went back upstairs and I could feel the tension building between us... Sammy was silent which wasn't normal and it was troubling me... She took me to the room and gave me medicine and sat on the bed beside me... I was waiting for her speak she clearly knew that I could tell it from her stressed face.... and then she spoke....

"let's start with my childhood, shall we ? afterall, I want my Girlfriend to know all about me " she said winking and I nodded with a smile but hers faded faster than mine... I could tell how hard it was for her to open up... so I held her hand.. she looked at our joined hands and smiled...

"when I was born I had an elder brother.. and after a month I was born my brother died... my mother was in complete shock and she wasn't able to take good care of me so my gandma brought me at hers where she lived my aunt and my uncle with grandpa... I grew up with my aunt... mom visited but not much... she was getting better but somehow she wasn't being able to let to of my brother... time passed and I got attached to my aunt and thought that she was my mother... I was a tom-boy for as long as I can remember and my aunt loved me anyway... she knew why I was the way I was but she loved me anyway... it was untill one day my parents decided they were ready for me again... and my aunt told me but I wasn't prepared to go... then, after a week, I agreed just for her... I went to live with my parents and then my aunt got married and she left the country... it was hard for her but I knew I had to let her go... right after her marrige my granny died...and after that my uncle left.... he said he wasn't comfortable in this town anymore so he took grandpa with him... and within an year... my home was gone.... I was destroyed.... " I could hear her voice crack.... so I held her hand tighter....

"it's ok Sammy... take your time..." I told her but she smiled and carried on....

"my parents were strict religious people and they were against every gay or bi or whatever it was.... I was brought up in a strict environment where I was taught to hate them too.. as much as I hated it... I had to pretend to be someone I wasn't.... But all of that changed when I met her......." I saw a tear role down Sammy's cheek.... I leaned in to wipe it and she held my hand there and looked at me with tears falling from her eyes...

I quickly hugged her.... but she started breathing heavily... it was like she couldn't breathe.... I knew because I have seen her do this before... I called her name and she just pointed at her medicine on the night stand I quickly got it and gave her one tablet... She leaned back and laid down on bed tears still falling from her eyes.... and after some time her breathing was calm but she was crying more.... I sat near her and put her head in my lap and she grabbed me... I leaned over her... my heart was aching with hers..... I could feel her pain just by touching her.... she was crying like she was in agonizing pain and I could feel it......

I kept her that way for a long time.... she stopped crying but never moved... she held my hands.... after a moment she was asleep.... I didn't want to wake her so I let her sleep that way.... I leaned over her body and wrapped us both under warm blanket.......
