Chapter Two

My breathing hitched and I started to feel the lack of air in my lungs. I walked to the main door and closed it behind me and slipped to the floor as I tried to even out my breath.

Was it really happening?

Was Sam cheating on me, on our new bed with my best friend? Who happens to be my step-sister?

It can't be...I mean, Sonya IS my best friend; she wouldn't do this to me, right?

I rubbed a hand accross my face frustrated. What if I heard wrong?

What if Sam was actually dreaming, I mean, yes, it is freakish that he would be dreaming of my step-sister/best-friend, but it could be just a dream, right?

I thought about leaving and confronting Sam later, but I had to know.

I had to know for sure if that was really happening. I HAD to see it for myself, because even if I talked to Sam about it and he explained something else that might sound logical, I'll always have my doubts, because it seemed so real...

I can't marry him thinking about this. Hell, I don't want to marry him.

Hesitantly, I pulled myself together. With new found confidence, I opened the door and closed it loudly. I walked to the bedroom making as much noise as I could in an almost empty apartment.

As I reached the bedroom door, I closed my eyes and silently hoped that whatever was happening was not what I thought. Although I knew that was just something I wished.

Suddenly, Sam opened the door. He seemed completely nervous. He was sweaty and had only his boxers on. Before he could utter a word, I shoved him aside glaring at him.

I knew what I was going to see, but it still shocked me. Sonya was wrapped in a white satin sheet covering half of her face, but the way she was glancing at me, I was sure she had a smug smile on her face.

With teary eyes, I turned to glance at Sam.

"I heard right."It wasn't a question; it was more of a statement. Somehow, even though I knew it was completely useless, I still had some kind of hope that this wasn't happening.

"It's just-"

"Save it" I lifted my palm to shut him up. I knew what he was going to say...

Glancing at my hand, I saw the ring that I had been wearing for the last few months excitedly. I was struggling to keep myself from crying. I didn't want to cry in front of them, I wasn't going to give her the satisfaction of seeing me hurt, but I still felt one tear slide as I took the ring off

.Sam's brown eyes widened.

What did he expect? Did he honestly think that we could work this out?

It wasn't going to happen. Not in this lifetime.

Stretching my arm I shoved the ring at him. "Leave."

"Emi we can talk-"

"GO AWAY SAM!!" I glanced around the room and grabbed his clothes and shoved them in his chest, "I don't want to see you again," my tone was cold.

I heard some movement behind me and I turned to see Sonya already dressed in her slutty leather dress. She rolled her eyes when she caught me looking at her. "Grow up, Emily, it was just sex.

"My blood started boiling but I didn't want to cause a scene, more than I already had. I just wanted them to leave me the hell alone.

Sam tried to grab my arm but I pulled it out of his reach as fast as I could. I snapped at them, "GO AWAY DAMN IT!"

They both flinched. It worked, though. They left without another word.

When I heard the door close, I fell on my knees. I brought my hands to my face and I finally let the tears fall freely. I sobbed for a few minutes. Wiping my tears with the back of my hands, I looked around and stood up. Harshly, I pulled out the sheets that were still lying on the bed and I crumpled them over the corner.

I couldn't stand being in the same room where they were just having sex. I ran outside the apartment without locking it. Still crying, I tried to wipe the smudged makeup and flattened my clothes.

It was lucky that the building was almost empty, as it was pretty new. I leaned on the wall and breathed deeply for a few times.

Before I took the elevator, I called my father and told him what I just saw. I left out the part that involved Sonya. My dad was finally happy with Anna and I knew that something like this would make them break apart. I simply told him that I caught Sam with a hooker. It wasn't exactly a lie, either.

"That bastard!" he said after I finished talking.

"What do you want to do, Emily?"

"I can't bear to be in this place, Dad. I don't want anything to do with it."

"Get out of there, I'll take care of everything, okay? Are you coming home? Sonya just got here, let me get her for you so she can talk to you-"

"NO! I- I want to be alone, Dad," I couldn't-I wouldn't talk to her. I wanted to be as far as I could from her, "I-I just spoke to Hugh and we're meeting at his house, don't worry, Dad.

"Hugh was one of my closest friends. He was also British and when my mother left, he was there for me. I might have hated everything related to the UK, but I couldn't keep away from Hugh. His sexy accent melted me all the time. Of course, I've never told him that, I actually teased him about it all the time. We used to hang out once a week, since he was a busy architect working at my father's company, too. He never liked Sonya much, I wonder why...

"Ok. Tell him that he can take the day off tomorrow...and Emily?"

"Yes?"

"Your mother called today." Great. Sighing, I wiped a fresh tear that was rolling down my cheek.

"I-I don't want to talk about it, Dad."

He sighed. "Listen, I know how you feel about her sweetie, but maybe going away for a while might be a good thing for you. I can take care of everything here.

"You mean you'll take care of selling and cancelling everything, I thought sourly.

"I don't know..."

"Promise me you'll think about it, ok? I'll talk to you later, then."

"Okay.. Thank you, Dad."

"Anything for you Emily. I love you sweetie.

"I sighed. My dad didn't tell me that often. But I knew he cared for me, we were close and he was just not used to being affectionate.

"Bye,Dad."I kept silent as I left the building and walked to my car. I stopped abruptly when I saw Sam leaning on it looking at the ground with his hands in his pockets. He looked up when he heard me coming closer. He pulled himself from the car and stepped to me.

My hands clenched into fists as he approached me. He noticed it and left some space between us.

"I'm sorry, Emily." His brown eyes were filled with sorrow. His hair was tousled from running a hand through it for numerous times.

"Me too." His head snapped down instantly. I walked around him as I felt some fresh tears welling up in my eyes, when he gently grabbed my wrist. I turned around to him and as he opened his mouth to say something, I felt the tears running down my cheeks.

"You've done enough, Sam. I want to be alone..." My voice cracked in all the wrong places.His grip loosened as he muttered,

"I'm really sorry."

I got in my car and drove off without looking back.
