Samantha's POV
Cheerleading practice just ended when I decided to stay inside the gym to think things through. The thought of hurting Amber is killing me. But the thought of anyone hating her because of me is worst. I hope that I'll just wake up in Amber's arm and this is just part of a bad dream. That everything would be okay.
"Sam.. Sam.. Sam.." Someone slowly uttered my name. Once again my thought was interrupted by the last person that I want to see right now.
"Shane." I answered glaring at him.
"So.. aaa.. we can start planning how you'll gonna do this.. How I can get even with your girl.." He said back grinning at me. His wearing it again, the evil smile that makes me feel in disgust.
"Please stop this. I'll do anything you want.. just don't ask me to hurt her. I'm begging you. Please." I pleaded.
"Na' ah.. That won't work Sam.. Like what they always say.. The one's we love hurts us the most. Have you seen the way Amber looks at you? You've captivated her entire world. I can't wait to see it crashing though."
I'm trying everything now not to cry. He's just so evil. How can someone be so selfish and evil like him. I don't understand why he needs to do this. Is this about the incident in cafeteria? Was that enough for him to do this? Was that enough to hurt a person who's goal is just to protect and care?
"Stop begging it doesn't suit this pretty face." He added while caressing his index finger at the side of my face. I immediately swatted his hand away. He just laughed at me.
"Like what I'm saying.. Amber can continue being your bitch until I say so. If that day comes.. You'll tell her that everything was just a game for you. That it was a simple dare in which you're to curious to try. Like the idea?"
"You're evil." I whispered frustratingly.
"This wouldn't happen if you've been loyal to Clark." He added with a chuckle.
"You don't know anything about us!We're not in love with each other. Our relationship is nothing but a label! You can even asked him yourself!"
He just laughed at me and walk away. He suddenly stop in his track and looked at me.
"Oh! Before I forgot.. this coming weekend.. Kyle will be throwing a party. I want you to be there.. Bring your bitch with you. If you don't come.. you know what will happen to that bitch of yours." He laughed hard and walked away.
I need to be strong for Amber. I can't let her be in this mess. If I let her go she'll still have everyone, everyone that look up to her. Everyone except me. Then I realized.. If I break her heart I'll break mine too. I wiped my tears and remembered that I have to sort things out with Clark. I then texted him to meet me so we can talk things through.

Amber's POV:
Me: Sammy baby! :)) I need to meet the student council today. It wouldn't take an hour. I just need to discuss our project for this month. I'll wait for you at the parking lot. :*
Sam-mine â¤ï¸: That's alright babe. I'll also talk to Clark. I'll meet you there! I miss you! :*
Me: I miss you too! Can't wait to see you! :* ^___^
I felt that something is bothering Sam. She assured me that she's okay but my gut feeling tells me otherwise. Am I just being over protective? I hope so.

Samantha's POV
"Sam.." I turn around and see Clark.
"Clark, we need to talk. About us." Though Clark and I was never in love, I still care for him. He's really a great guy as long as his not intoxicated with alcohol.
"I know Sam. I saw how Amber looked out for you at the party. I might be drunk but I remembered how she protected you from me. I don't know what to say.. I.. I'm just sorry." He sounded very sincere. This is the guy that I knew. This is the kind of Clark that I was comfortable to be with.
"Clark.."
"It's okay Sam.. I'll do the talking.. Let me tell everyone that we already ended things and that it was a mutual decision. I want to get good impression to all the girls you know. Bad breakup wouldn't help." He added jokingly. He smiled and gently put his hands on my shoulder. "Amber's a good person, I can see that.. I hope you two well. If you need anything, I'll still be here for you." He added.
"Thank you." I tried to control my tears but I can't. I just sobbed. I remembered Shane's demand. If not for him, everything's perfect already. But it isn't. Because of him I need to break the heart of someone that I truly care about. Someone so gentle and loving. Someone who's selfless. Someone that..
I love.
"Hey.. Hey.. What's wrong?" He asked worriedly.
"Nothing. I'm just.. happy." I lied. I want to tell Clark about Shane's demand but I can't. However I look at it.. people will blame Amber for our break up. She'll end up being accused for something she didn't do. I can't live with that.
"Well alright! Stay in love!" Clark bid his goodbye.

Amber's POV:
"Sammy!" I'm leaning at my car when I saw Sam. I cheerily greeted her.
"Hey.." She greeted me happily however her smile is not reaching her eyes.
"Is there something you want to share with me?" I asked her hoping that she would open up.
"Huh? No. I mean nothing. Why is that?" She asked nervously. I knew it something is really bothering her.
"Sam.. there's something wrong.. I feel it. I don't want to sound intruding but I care for you.. You know you can always tell me anything right?"
"I do. I just.. I.. I failed my exam.. It's not a big deal for others but it is for me.. That's why I didn't tell you.. You might just laughed at me." she whispered looking down at her feet. Jeez she's so cute.
"Oh.. that's okay babe.. you can always make up for it. There are more exams coming and you can always asked your professor how you can catch up. I mean.. by doing extra projects or anything.. If something is bothering you even if you think it's to simple.. Please tell me.. Okay? I can't bare looking at your sad face. Please?" I just want to let her know that she can always talk to me about everything.
"Of course." She answered still looking down.
"Promise?" I lifted her chin so she can directly look at me.
"I promise." She smiled half heartedly. That exam has really made her upset. Jeez.
"Am I weird if I find it very cute when your being grade conscious..?" I asked while poking her side. Sam giggled and held my wrist.
"Stop that!" She smiled at me then look at our hands. She then traced my wrist with her index finger tracing invisible patterns. I shivered at the gesture.
"You're amazing.." She whispered at me still looking at my wrist.
I find myself slowly leaning in to her to kiss her forehead. I lingered my lips for awhile and whispered "So are you."
"Can you promise me one thing?" Sam asked.
"What is that?" I questioned.
"Always.. please always .. remember that I care and love you.. I know it's too early to say this.. But I do. I do love you Amber. I really do. You made me feel things I never thought possible. You make my heart flutter by just smiling at me. You make me want to hug and kiss you every time your near. I just.. God! I'm so in love with you.. I don't know what to-"
I kissed her. Not in her forehead, not in her nose, not in her cheeks. I kissed her lips. I kissed her while holding the back of her neck with both of my hands. My thumbs gently caressing her jaw line. I then tilted my head to kiss her deeply. She parted her lips to grant my tongue inside her mouth. A sweet moan has escaped Sam's lips and I smiled at that. I gently open my eyes to look at her, still caressing the side of her face with both of my thumbs. Our foreheads are resting with each others. "I love you too." I whispered gently brushing my lips into her pink kissable ones.
"God.." Sam uttered silently with trembling lips.
"I love you so much Sam. I really do." I reassured her. Giving her another kiss at the corner of her lips. Sam gently put her right hand at the center of my back to hold me closer. Then her left palm rested on my chest. She then smiled over my lips. "I love you. I love feeling your heartbeat.. God. I love you so much." Her fingers are now tracing invisible patters on my chest. "It's so loud.." She added. "But mines louder.." She whispered nervously.
"Let me check.." I then put one of my hands over her chest looking at her lovingly. "No. Mines louder." I countered, giving her another quick kiss on her lips then on her forehead.
