Sammy's P.O.V:
I woke up and felt warmth all around me. It was peaceful and so comforting, for a sec I didn't realize where I was until I felt her hands in mine... Amber.. Oh my God.... I'm still in the same position. I tried to move and got up. She was asleep in the same position. Why didn't she just wake me? God.. How long was I asleep ?.
All of the thoughts were making me crazy. I tried my best to no wake her and pulled her back in the bed and covered her under the duvet. It was cold and raining outside. Her legs must be paining because when she moved one of her legs her face changed and she let out a hiss and stopped moving. Damn she is in pain because of me again.
I sat on the side of her feet and gently massaged her legs to release the tension and lessen the pain. I kept it up until I felt her muscles relax under my touch. Then I got up from the bed and thought of sleeping in the basement tonight. I just wanted to see her before I left, I don't know why but somehow this girl has captured my heart in ways I thought noone ever could. I sat on the beside bed and watched her. She is so beautiful. To watch her sleep is so peaceful. It's like I can feel warmth of her body radiating off of her.
Before I could control it, I had this extreme urge of kissing her forehead and that is what I did. I leaned in and gave a light peck on her forehead and lingered there for a few more seconds remembering this moment. It is then that I realized that I'll let her go. I leaned back in my chair and kept watching her, because I knew I'll let her go tomorrow. I wasn't ready but the last thing I wanted for her was to get hurt because of me anymore. I kept watching her not ready to leave this peaceful moment. I felt sleepy but I'd rather sleep in this chair whole night watching her.
Amber's P.O.V:
I opened my eyes and saw Sammy sitting in a chair infront of me. When did she wake up? and how am I in bed right now ? What happened?. Before I could think of anything else she moved and opened her eyes
"Hey, how are you feeling now? " she said with her morning voice. Which I find adorable.
"I'm fine. When did you wake up? How am I--"
"I woke up and found you where I was-- never mind. Why didn't you wake me? Your legs must have been paining all the time ? Why didn't you just push me aside and left ? " she said, I could feel pain in her voice.
"Because, you were asleep and you looked so peaceful. I didn't want to wake you up. I didn't leave because I didn't want to" I said while looking in her eyes. I was well aware of each and every word of mine. I wanted to stay.
"Well, I guess that's.. unfortunate because you are free to go." she said. She wasn't looking at me. I could hear her voice shaking while saying this.
She looked at me after a min or two and our eyes locked. I could see pain and fear in those beautiful deep big eyes which were glistening. We both were reading eachother's eyes. I knew she didn't want me to leave. I don't know how. But I just did. She broke our eye contact and stood up abruptly
"I'm going out. I hope that you have left by the time I'm back. I'll leave the front door open. You can take whatever is yours in here. Take care Amber." She gave me a last look, I swear I could see how much she hated saying this to me. She stormed downstairs in a hurry to run away and I ran after her.
"Sammy..." I shouted, she stopped her hand still on the knob of the door infront of her.
"Please. Talk to me." she stood there for some seconds and I was almost there. I could almost touch her and then within a second she was gone. Just like wind. And I was left alone in this house.
Maybe that's what she actually wanted. Why was I even here ?. I went in the basement and picked up my bag and my cell was already in there. I went upstairs to change into the clothes I was wearing when she brought me here. Every corner of this house was reminding me of a memory with her. I was hurting while leaving. I sat on her bed and I felt tears escaping my eyes and traveling down my cheeks. I looked at the bed, where I had her so close to me just hours ago. What was this feeling? why was it hurting so bad to leave her? I haven't felt this kind of pain before, it was like cutting off a limb. After changing out of her clothes I just didn't want to let go of them so I put them in my handbag. My clothes on other hand were washed and carefully kept in her closet like I was someone precious to her that's why she did all that for me. I applied her perfume just to keep her fragrance on me for a little longer.
I came downstairs where my eyes searched the house for her presence. I could still remember her making my favourite pasta while singing along the song she had played on her music system that she told me she loved alot. Then finally I came to the front door, same door she walked out of an hour ago. I turned the knob and it was opened. I opened the door and let in the cold wind along with the smell of rain. Her final words ringing in my ears. My heart aching. There it was, freedom and yet I've not felt this alive in years as much as I've felt in this house. I walked out and closed the door. Soon the raindrops hid my own tears and mixed with them. I was free and yet I was not.
