You sigh looking up at the ceiling, you got sent straight to your room by Sister Korine, you weren’t in trouble, but some of the girls tried to start shit with you, and they didn’t want you to be there as the girls got scolded.
Your eyes lit up as you see a flashlight in the distance, Sam. You two had always snuck out to see each other. Growing up at orphanages across the street together, ever since your first joint field trip you two had hit it off.
At this point you completely and utterly trusted each other with anything, having learned essentially each other’s life stories throughout all these years. You’ve even had to look after Nathan a few times when Sam was out on retreat with some others, and Nate had to stay behind for whatever reason.
You knew you had about 10 minutes before the rest of the girls came back to the room and you intended to use every one of them. You flash back your other code and open the widow rumors had been swirling around and you needed to know what the deal was.
“Hey,” he greets coming in, making sure not to fall on his face.
“I know that face, what wrong?”
You sigh and just rip off the band aid.
“Is what true,” he asks playing dumb.
“Did you get kicked, you know when something big like that happens it spreads like wildfire.”
“Yeah, yeah they finally dropped me,”
“I mean I guess it was bound to happen sooner or later,” you joke.
“I don’t know,” he responds.
A moment of silence falls between the two of you before Sam gets a sudden thought.
“Come with me,” he offers.
“You and me. Screw everyone else. Let’s just go.”
“Think about it for a minute I mean do you have anything keeping you here?”
“You know the answer to that,” you tell him, breaking your eyes from his for a moment.
“Exactly so you should come with me. We could find a cheap apartment somewhere, and just live free. Adventurous! Spontaneous! Do whatever we want just because we want to! It’ll be you and me against the world!,” he hypes.
That was a good point, it wasn’t like you had friends or any family, and if you were going to live with anyone why not Sam.
“Yeah?” he asks with a grin on his face.
He grabs you in a hug, picking you up and spinning you around,
“You should go tell Nathan,”
“He already knows I was kicked, I told him I’d sneak back to see him as much as I could,” Sam explains.
“You should go, come back here at midnight and we can leave, I only have about 7 minutes left to pack until everyone gets here.”
Sam nods, starting his way out the window, he turns back to smile once more.
“I’m really glad we’re doing this,” he says.
“Me too,” you reply and honestly it was the truth, getting to have fun with your best friend, what more could you ask for?
You quickly pack your bags, shoving your suitcase out of sight and under your bed. You change into pajamas and decide to get a little sleep before Sam returns, as the rest of the girls return to prepare for bed as well.
A few hours later you hear the window open, and shoot awake. You grab your suitcase and hand it to Sam, he moves it out side the building.
He reaches his hand out and pulls you out the window.
You close it behind you and look to him.
“So how are we getting down?”
He laughs and swings his grappling hook, catching it on a structure nearby.
“I figured due to your bags, jumps were out of the question, so we’ll just slide down the rope. It’s not like the sisters are out here patrolling this late.”
“I’ll go first, then just toss your stuff down to me,”
You watch him slide down, then throw your bag, following his lead.
And thus your adventure began, it was now six months later, Sam had made good on his promise and visited Nate in between his jobs, you had gotten a job as a waitress down at the local diner, and you two surprisingly worked up enough to afford a two bedroom place.
Though small it was nice that neither of you had to sleep in the living room. Although today you wanted nothing more than to lie face down on the couch and scream. It was an absolute madhouse down at the diner today. You felt like you had been running around almost more than Sam on his jobs.
Opening the door you do exactly that letting out a loud UGHHHHHHH noise, alerting Sam you were home.
“Well hello to you too,” he laughs.
“Sorry,” you apologize sitting up.
“So. Many. Customers. I didn’t even think we could hold that many people. ON the bright side I think I made enough in tips to cover next months rent,” you joke back.
“Damn. Well I guess you win in the surprises today.”
You follow him to see a nice new bike.
“Woah. Where’d you steal it from?” you ask with an eyebrow raise.
“She questions my honor,” he says sarcastically holding a hand to his chest, making you roll your eyes at his antics.
“No, but for real this is all hard work.”
“You’re new employer gave it to you for a job didn’t they?”
“Yeah, but that doesn’t make it any less cool”
“No. No it doesn’t Now you can ride me into work everyday
“Oh. Joy,” he says deadpan, making you chuckle.
“Oh please you’ll do it because you love me,”
Sam takes a second looking at your lips, you both can feel the tension in the air.
If you had to admit to yourself you kind of had gotten feelings for him a few months ago, you only pushed them away
The two of you kiss and as absolutely ridiculous as it sounds, the rest of the world was gone, and it was just you and him in this moment.
“Should we...” you trail off.
“It’s like you said you and me against the world,” you reply kissing him again.
“Well looks like we have news for Nathan next time we go see him,” you joke when you pull away again making the two of you laugh.
You couldn’t wait to see what the future had in store for the both of you, and oh boy there was no way you could’ve possibly guessed the absolute craziness that would soon come into your lives either.
