Chapter 8

Sam's POV:

'Hey! Ivy are you okay?' I could hear her sobs from the phone and those were the most heartbreaking sounds. ' He cheated on me...Its over Sam..4 years of engagement for nothing.' Even tho one side of me wanted to be happy that she finally realized that guy was a fucked up person , the other side was upset to see her breaking like that. Imagining the sky eyes full of tears made my heart shake. ' Ivy ..Im sorry , I'm really sorry , but..that guy was obviously not a good person just by the way he treated you.' And there she went again letting out that heartbreaking sound that held the pain she had for 4 years and of course all her insecurities. ' I loved him Sam..I loved his fucked up version and I thought I could fix him' I sighed and all I wanted to do in that moment was to have her here so I could hug her. A million thoughts went through my head , but I choose to listen to that one thought which actually made sense to me. ' Ivy give me 2 minutes and I'll call you back , promise!'

Ivy's POV:

I don't know why I called him, but Sam's voice was the most calming sound for me at this moments. Jared had a really masculine figure and he was the tough guy who hardly showed his emotions and Sam is kind of the opposite. He gives me this feeling of safety and his voice isn't too deep , but is deep enough to show he is mature and is also calming just like his eyes. The shade of green that changes based on his mood. The best feature of Sam in my opinion is the smile. A cheeky smile that could be so warm and full of affection , but also mischievous at times.

" Who were you talking to?" Kara's voice interrupted my thoughts. " Just Sam, why?" She gave me a smirk and sat next to me. " Oooh the italian boy." " Why do you say it like that?" She smirked and kinked her eyebrow. " Isn't it obvious? Because you like him. Like have you seen yourself all smiley and blushing when you text him." She was right I would smile texting him, but he was my friend so of course I would smile. I don't like Sam that way. " He is just a FRIEND!! Why don't you get it?" She rolled her eyes and got up. " If he was only a friend then you wouldn't blush like you do and you should listen yourself when you talk about him. ' Sam has such a cute smile' " She knew I hated when she would mock me. " STOP! I don't sound like that!" She went away laughing and I just stood there waiting for Sam to call me back. Kara wasn't the only friend of mine who thought me and Sam had something, but they just don't understand we are close friends and just understand each other.

Sam's POV:

I dialed Emma's number and waited for her to answer. God was I really doing this?! It was so nerve wracking! Then her voice interrupted my thoughts. ' Hey Sammy' I took a deep breath and I thought again why I was going to do what I was about to do. ' Hey Emmz, I wanted to say that I'm really sorry but something has came up and I can't come to the party. I'm really sorry' She scoffed and I was expecting her to tell me that I'm an asshole but she didn't. ' Is her isn't it? The american girl.' Wait how the hell did she know about Ivy? The only person I told to about her was Teddy and my best friend in college Lucas..

Flashback:

I was sitting there in the last row with Lucas. He was scribbling something in his notebook and I was texting Ivy. A giggle left when she sent me a picture of her cat in her beanie. "What you giggling about" I turned to see my friend looking at me with curious eyes. I showed him the picture and he started laughing, but then looked at me as if asking how sent me that. " She is a friend. I met her when I was working with some tourists. She gave me her number and we talk whenever we got time". " Is she a nice person?" I looked around to see if anyone was looking our way or was hearing, but everyone was looking at the teacher. " She is fantastic. She has a great sense of humor, she is really sweet, soo smart and really dedicated and passionate about things she likes." Lucas smirked and I looked at him confused. " Looks like someone has a crush!"  I sighed and I knew I couldn't hide it from him. I kinda liked Ivy , but she is older and had a fiancé that she seems to love. " Dude it doesn't matter if she is older and about her fiancé..he is the only obstacle so you can't do anything about him. Show me how she looks."

I went to the pictures and showed him a picture of hers. https://images.app.goo.gl/MLLxMSd2GCg1V1ps7. " Damn she is gorgeous and soo your type" He was right Ivy was the type of girl I would go for. She was just gorgeous inside and out. " I know and I do really like her" Emma closed her book loudly and asked to leave class. What was wrong with her?

Back to the present:

So she was listening. God this is bad. ' Emmz it's just that she needs help okay. I can't let a friend like that.' I sighed and she did the same. ' I heard how you were talking about her Sam..You see her more than a friend and I get that. I can't hold you back if you like her, but I'm just..jealous' She was jealous! It was a flattering , but also confusing feeling at the same time. She hurt me once and I couldn't go back there. I worked so hard to move on from her. ' Emmz , I'm really sorry, but you know there will never be you and me again. The most we can be really good friends , but nothing more. I meant it what I said that day.'

She hung up and I was just laying on my bed thinking about everything. Then some crazy thought got inside my mind. I took my phone and I didn't dial Ivy's number. I was waiting patiently until I hear the voice of a young woman. ' Hello sir with what can I help you?' I took a deep breath and smiled to myself. ' A ticket for Florida please'
