(Sam) *sighs* what about after you unpack? Can you do something tonight?

(Bailey) I don't know...I'll let you know but that's not all...

(Sam) what?

(Bailey) Did you know that Jakes locker is like 5 down from mine now?

(Sam) oh...yea...I knew he had been moved, didn't realize it was so close to you though

(Bailey) well it is...

(Sam) so just keep your stuff in my locker if it bothers you

(Bailey) *cocks a brow* you would make space for me in your locker?

(Sam) *smirks* sure, why not?

(Olivia) awwwww...that's so sweet...it's like you giving her a key to your place *giggles*

(Sam) *chuckles* whatever...

(Bailey) well...that WOULD give me an excuse to see you more during the day *smiles*

(Sam) *smirks* yup

(Bailey) K...I'll move my stuff at lunch

(Sam) *smiles* sounds good roomie

(Bailey) *smiles* thank you *leans over and kisses Sam*

-later at lunchtime-

*B stands at her locker emptying the contents into her backpack when Jake walks up and leans against the locker next to hers*

(Bailey) *looks at Jake and sighs* what?

(Jake) *cocks a brow* you are grumpy

(Bailey)*snarky* yea...well...

(Jake) what?

(Bailey) seriously?...seriously?

*Jake shrugs and looks confused*

(Bailey) ugh...look Jake, I know you have supposedly changed and that's great and all, but it doesn't erase what you did before you left...

(Jake) *interrupts* I know that I...

(Bailey) *interrupts* I wasn't finished!

*Jake shuts his mouth*

(Bailey) you really messed me up with what you did and not just physically...I still have nightmares about it and then you come back this self-proclaimed changed guy and I'm just supposed to be ok with it? Well, I'm not...it makes me uncomfortable you being so close...and not just because for the better part of the last year you have taken every chance you had to make my life a living hell but because you walk back into my life and suddenly I find myself thinking about you. I don't want to think about you! I'm with Sam...I love him

(Jake) If you love Sam so much then why are you thinking about me?

(Bailey) I don't know

(Jake) B...we used to be good...before all that other shit happened...I...I can't undo what I did but I'd like to try to make it up to you...

(Bailey) then stay away...please

(Jake) I can't do that

(Bailey) *irritated* why? Why can't you do that?

(Jake) because...I'm still in love with you

(Bailey) *scoffs* DON'T say that to me

(Jake) it's true

(Bailey) You can't say that to me when we are dating for almost a year...you wait till now *rolls eyes*

(Jake) it's bad timing I know...it's just...I...when we broke up...I went crazy and I did shit that I can't take back...I'm not that guy in your nightmares anymore...I just want a chance to prove that to you

(Bailey) *closes eyes and takes a deep ragged breath* If Sam knew we were talking... *shakes head*

(Jake) you didn't tell him about the other day?

(Bailey) no...

(Jake) so...don't tell him

*Sam rounds the corner in the hallway and spots Jake and B talking, he quickly makes his way to her locker*

(Sam) *To Jake* Back off

(Jake) *holds up hands defensively* we were just talking

(Sam) yea....well don't *grabs B's backpack and shuts her locker* come on B...let's go

*B shoots Jake an apologetic look before turning and walking away with Sam*

(Sam) since when are you on talking terms with Jake?

 (Bailey) *sighs* he showed up in Atlantic City the other night at the concert

(Sam) WHAT?

(Bailey) I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to get upset...

 (Sam) I don't want you talking to him anymore Bailey

(Bailey) Sam...

(Sam) No Bailey...I'm serious
