Chapter 7: Hesitation
~~~When you love someone, you'll do anything. You'll do all the crazy things that you can't explain. You'll shoot the moon, put out the sun. When you love someone, you'll deny the truth. Believe a lie. There'll be times that you believe that you really fly. But your lonely nights have just begun, when you love someone~~~ -Bryan Adams-
"Then fuck the possible consequences because I'll never let you ruin my relationship! I'll mary my girlfriend no matter what happens!" He stepped forward again and occupied the little space left between us. "I know what you want. You want to trap me and wrap me in your fingers, but I'm sorry, I will never let that happen. So I'm warning you, Samantha, never drag my name into your mess or else...."
A few seconds have passed and I have waited for his next words, but he has already stopped there. I just noticed his balled fist before it hit the wooden door behind me.
"Get out."
I started to panic again.
"L-Luke, please, let me explain it further," I beg, trying to reach his arm, but he just swatted my hands.
"I don't want to hear anything from you, so you'd better go now and leave before I decide to call your parents."
"No!" I exclaimed loudly. "No, please don't tell them even with Dale. I-I promise to stop chasing you, stop bothering you, but please don't tell them?"
"Get out!"
"Luke---"
"Don't you hear me?"
"B-But---"
"I said fucking get out, Samantha!"
"Y-Yeah, I'm going." I nodded, lowering my head.
Taking a deep breath, I picked up the bag I had dropped when he called me. And after composing myself, I opened the door and left that room without even trying to look behind.
I ran across the employees who are cleaning the floor while struggling to suppress the loud sobs that wanted to escape my throat. I can still hear his words and it feels like a million knives that stab my heart slowly and deeply.
I admit it was a huge mistake. I trusted my plan to a stranger and didn't realize that what I trusted was my future. Because I didn't know that when I came out of that small room, my life would begin to change and also my future.

"Where have you been, Samantha?"
That's the first question my brother asked me the moment I entered the living room. I think he had just come out of his room on the second floor as I watched him taking the last steps of the stairs.
"Don't you know that I nearly lost my mind trying to call you? I haven't got asleep since last night because I'm waiting for you!"
I just took a deep breath but decided to ignore his question.
"You haven't even tried to send a message just to let us of where you are."
