Chapter 32

I put my hands on my hips and glared at the guys.

"Really? You guys are acting like a group of middle school girls."

"Well how can we not discuss some guy who comes up and just starts grabbing you?"

I looked at Jake as I heard the jealously in his voice.

"For once, I agree with Jake. It's obvious no one can just come up and be all touchy with you," Sebastian said folding his arms.

Speak for yourselves.

"Can you at least give us his name?"

I looked at Alex as he asked the question with a little pain in his voice, then I turned my head attention to Christopher. His head was down and his eyes were closed as he leaned on the wall with his arms folded.

He didn't tell him?

I then looked at Drake as he was in the same kind of position only in the corner of the room.

He didn't either?!

I sighed and looked at the four guys who didn't know.

Should I tell them? It would be fair, right?

"His names Andrew, but is called Drew by Samantha."

I looked at Drake surprised at why he said it before I could.

Everyone looked over at him, even Christopher.

That's right. Christopher knows about our history and Drake knows his name but that's it.

"Andrew?" Alex questioned as he turned back to me with his face full of pain.

Crap. After days of peace I was now doomed of torture.

"According to Samantha they're just friends so there's nothing to worry about. Right Samantha?"

Christopher looked at me with obvious anger boiling inside him. He seemed to be doing the best he could to contain it.

"It's true. We're just friends. There's nothing between us."

I forced the thoughts from earlier away where my heart sped up with him.

"Not anymore anyway."

I watched as a little curl formed on Christopher's lips.

Crap.

"Anymore? Samantha, what does he mean?" Jake said sounding more hurt than curious.

"If you're just going to blurt things out might as well say everything, Christopher."

I was mad. I just wanted to go back to my room and put all of this away but I was stuck here.

"It wouldn't be fair for me to say something so personal. If anything you should tell them yourself. I mean, it's only fair they know too."

Crap. Now I was really stuck here.

I looked around at the others to see their reactions. Shock, pain, curiosity.

I had to tell them, didn't I?

I looked down at the floor and struggled to get the words ready, let alone out.

I had to say something. I've been silent too long.

"She doesn't have to tell us unless she wants to."

I quickly looked at Jonathan as he suddenly spoke up.

"If we don't know she obviously doesn't trust us enough to tell us. Or maybe she didn't because she felt no need to. If he is nothing to her then that makes sense for her to not tell us."

Jonathan was shaking a little probably from his sudden act of bravery now going against him.

The others were looking at him shocked as well.

He walked over to me and smiled.

"I believe you Samantha. Even if they don't."

I started to smile back as I felt a little warmth come to my cheeks from his words.

"Th-thank you Jonathan."

I heard some gasps in the group of guys.

"I-I believe you too, Samantha! There's nothing to question about it!" Jake yelled as he started to walk up to me.

Sebastian walked up and pushed Jake off to the side and then stood next to Jonathan.

"I believe you more than these idiots, trust me. I'll always believe you."

I felt my cheeks warm up even more to their sudden change in wanting my approval.

Jonathan looked at Sebastian and elbowed him.

"I was here first, asshole. Back off."

Soon they started to fight and I laughed a little to myself.

Too distracted by Jonathan and Sebastian that I didn't see Alex sneak up behind me.

I felt his arms turn me around and pull me in for a close embrace.

"I believe you too, Samantha. If he's nothing then that's that. If you need any help to get him off your back, I'm here for you."

This time my heart started to race as Alex pulled me a little closer after saying his words.

He smelled so good and at that moment I wanted to wrap my arms around him.

Wait, what? What am I thinking? And in front of the others too!

I'd just stay here until he pushes me off.

"Alex. Get your hands off of her," Sebastian growled as he started to pull Alex off of me for me.

"What? Jealous much?"

I felt the tension thicken as they looked like they were about to fight.

I stepped back and walked into something. I turned around and saw that it was Drake. He grinned and draped his arm around me and started to whisper in my ear.

"Hey there. About earlier, I'm sorry. I started to feel the jealously in me come out with how cuddly he wasted just had to mess with you about it. Can you ever forgive me?"

I felt goosebumps trickle down my spine as kept talking in my ear and did a circular motion with his finger on my arm.

"Oh really Drake? How cowardly of you!" Alex yelled as he saw Drake hanging on me. "Why I oughta-"

"Quiet all of you! You guys are like a bunch of kids fighting over a toy."

"A toy?!" They all yelled at Christopher before I could in unison.

Drake got off of me and walked over to Christopher with the others and I couldn't help but laugh to myself as I watched them fight.

I knew they would do something like this but this time it's a little amusing.

But too soon the party was over when we heard my mom shout from behind us.
