GAP 3: FOREVER STARTS NOW

CHAPTER 46 : TRUST ME

A little liquid courage never hurt anybody, she said to herself as encouragement

She then put a small smile on her face and kissed Sam's cheek

Sam, in turn, just stayed seated emotionless.
Cold eyes were looking at Mon, piercing her with her gaze

Mon froze then shivered a little

How long has it been since she last saw Sam like this?

She remembered the feeling was the same when she first came to Diversity.
Back then, they were nothing but strangers and she never wanted to go back to that reality.

The same cold eyes
The same face devoid of emotions

She hated seeing this version of Sam

Mon tried to expel the mood by smiling wider and hugging Sam tighter

Sam, who was not at all impressed, took the glass back from Mon and pulled out the bottle of brandy she had hidden in her drawer

(Mon frowned at this. Noting that the bottle was already halfway empty.

Since when was Sam drinking?
Now that she had taken the time to observe,
It became clearer that Sam stank of the smell of liquor and smoke?

Where was the smell of smoke even coming from?
Sam doesn't even smoke
Mon frowned deeper in anxiety)

M: How much had you already drank love?

(Sam said nothing and just continued to gulp from the glass, not minding Mon nor her question at all)

M: Love, talk to me, please

S: What do u want me to say, Mon?

M: That you love me?

S: I love you (Sam said without emotion nor any fluctuation in her voice)

M: Love. I think you've had enough to drink for today
Do u want me to bring you to bed?

(Sam still did not respond to Mon and continued to gulp the contents of her glass without stopping.

When she finished it, she immediately went to refill it again

Mon, seeing this, was extremely frustrated.

she took the glass again, gulped the contents, and threw the glass to the floor

She expected Sam to say something, anything...
But Sam still remained silent.

She did notice, though, that the temperature of the room immediately dropped, and the silence was frightening)

M: What's this, Sam?
Didn't you give me a day?!

Why are you acting like this then?!
My day isn't over yet!

S: I didn't control you when you ran to Raymond, so why are you controlling me when I wanted to unwind?

M: Sam, I just needed to talk to someone...
I needed to clear my head for a bit, but
Aren't I here now?

S: And I just needed to have a drink to settle my emotions
How about you go back to your Ray and leave me alone?

M: Sam, are you still jealous about Ray?
We're just friends, Sam!

He's our doctor and my best friend!
It's normal for me to go to him for advice

S: And it's also normal for me to drown myself in anything i could get my hands on.

This brandy is the only way to numb myself from everything I don't want to feel right now!

M: Sam...

S: What do you expect me to do when my girlfriend not only refused to marry me but also ran to another man in the middle of a talk about our future together!
