I woke up the next morning wrapped up in Sam's arms around my body. He was holding onto me tight as if he was scared to let go. My head and heart had a million feelings going through them. Fear, happiness, anger, safety.
I sat for a while staring at the room around while letting my thoughts roam free for a minute trying to come to some sanity. My sixteen year old self was cursing my twenty eight year old self while also being happy at current circumstances.
Sam started to stir next to me as he woke up, bringing me back to reality.
"Morning Rose" He rasped out in his morning voice which almost killed all doubts in me.
"Good morning" I smiled back as he pressed a kiss to my head.
"I'm scared if I wake up fully this will either be a dream or the conversation we will have will end not how I want to" He spoke, making me tense under his touch.
"I think reality was lost last night for both of us" I laughed a little, my nerves playing through.
"It could be reality this, but it isn't that easy is it?" He asked, stroking my hair.
"I've only been home for two weeks and here we are. It feels like a chaotic romance, I mean we are chaotic but I don't think we can just sleep together and forget everything that happened and get back together" I sigh.
"Okay" He says, stopping to think before speaking again. "How about this? We don't forget everything but we don't go back to hating each other either and arguing all the time or being strangers. We try the friend thing?" He says, sitting up and looking me in the eye.
A feeling settled inside me in that moment. A feeling of I don't whether this will end good or bad but I don't want to loose him again and put myself through that heartache.
"We'll try the friend thing" I smile as we sit across from each other for a moment in silence.
"Right I better be going, mam will be skitzing said I was only going for a few" He said causing us to laugh as he gathered his things from the night before.
That conversation was easier than I ever wished yet it left me with a feeling I couldn't even describe. I didn't even want to delve into it as I fell back on my bed and let out the loudest sigh ever.
My mind fell back to one of the first interactions we had back when we were fourteen before there was any romance between us.
I sat in a Science lesson writing away, answering the questions on the board as my friend who was sat between me and the blonde boy was talking away in my ear. Suddenly the teacher spoke to stop writing and get ready for the bell.
"Shut up small person" I spoke to Brandon as he made some stupid comment.
"Oi say that when stood next to Sam" Brandon spoke as he pointed to the tall blonde boy next to him.
For some weird reason we both stepped closer to each other, comparing heights as Brandon laughed.
I looked into his eyes with my arms crossed and I felt some weird feeling that I did not let my brain register.
"Oh wow you are actually tall" I spoke as I walked away to my seat, grabbing my backpack as he copied the same action. Our eyes not quite leaving each other as Brandon talked away.
"Right come on it's break. You need to find your girlfriend and our friends" I said, leading us away as Sam found his friends as well.
My brain came back to reality as I messaged Phoebe, letting her know what happened.
Phoebe: Right well it sounds like we need to have a girls night in, I'm setting off now. love ya.
I smiled at the message and decided to get ready, not letting my brain to think.
It was a bit later now and I was pouring glasses of wine for me and Phoebe as she chose the music to play through the speakers.
"So when are my favourite people coming home?" She asked as we sat at my dining table.
"Tommorow afternoon" I reply.
"Oooh got one more night for more activities then" She said wiggling her eyebrows.
"Okay the wine has hit you straight away" I joked as I ignored the comment.
"No seriously though. Just friends?" She asked, genuine interest.
"Yeah we agreed we couldn't just dive into getting back together after twelve years since our breakup" I spoke, staring at my wine glass.
"Ah so it's an agreement to be just friends until you are bit more less on bad terms" She spoke.
"No no, we aren't getting back together. We can't. It's me and Sam" I spoke as if it was obvious.
"Okay if you say so but I will still be mad at him for the heartbreak he caused you" She says, standing up to turn up the music, causing me to laugh as my phone buzzed.
Sam: Dean was adamant on coming over, thought I'd be a wreck hahaha
I laughed as I sent a pic back of me and Phoebe, smiling at the picture.
Me and Phoebe enjoyed the free house as we talked over everything that has happened in our friendship with a weird feeling left in the air.
