Chapter 8

Sam's POV


"Sam!?!" Maia said shocked.


"What's taking so long!" Trevor yelled. 


"Come in," I said and the three of us walked into the living room. 


I sat down on the couch and didn't know what to say. 


"Where's Kian?" Aria asked. 


"He's um, He's at the grocery store," I covered. 


"You don't sound so sure," Maia said. 


I looked over at Connor and JC. 


"He is, in fact, I'm gonna go call him and see how much longer it's gonna take," JC said and stood up. 


He walked into the kitchen pulled his phone out of his pocket. 


"He's on his way back right now," JC said and put his phone back into his pocket. 


Connor, Trevor, and I just sat here and stared at JC in awe. 


"So? What do you wanna do," I finally asked. 


"I don't know," Maia said.


"When Kian and Makayla get here, you guys can go shopping. All of us can go out later tonight. All ten of us can go get some food and maybe catch a movie later," I suggested. 


"Sure," Aria agreed. 


We sat there for about 20 minutes before there was a knock on the door and Kian and Makayla walked in. 


"Makayla! We're going shopping!" Aria yelled and the four of them walked out!


Makayla's POV (about 25 minutes later)


"Can I talk to you?" Maia asked.


"Sure," I replied.


"I met Sam before we went to that house, he gave me his number and to be honest, I really like him," she confessed.


"Really?" I asked.


"Yea, and then we got to that house, it's gotta be a sign right?" she stated.


"I don't know, since what happened with Sami I don't even remember a happy Sam," I said. 


"Do you think he could like me?" she asked me. 


"I know Sam pretty well, but I don't know about this, he really loved Sami and I don't know if he could ever love someone the same way. You might be walking yourself right into a heartbreak," I replied.


"Guys! We're going in here," Aria said.  


"Okay," I said back and the four of us walked into the store. 


We walked around inside the store for about twenty minutes. Finally I got to the dresses and found a beautiful navy blue dress with light ruffles, a thin white belt, and a navy blue collar.  I looked at the price tag and into my bag. I had just enough money to get the dress. I grabbed it and walked up to the counter. I paid for it and we walked out of the store


"Alright, we should go back to the house, the four of us can go up into mine and Kian's room and get ready for dinner later if you want?" I suggested. 


"Sounds good," Aria agreed. 


We got back into the car and I drove us back to the house.


Sam's POV 


"So do you know Maia from somewhere?" Connor asked me.


"We met after you brought me back when I went penny boarding," I replied. 


"She likes you," Kian laughed.


"Do you like her?" JC asked. 


"You guys seriously seem like a bunch of six-year-olds," I laughed.


"Well do you?" Ricky asked.


"Maybe a little, but I don't know if I'm ready to be in a relationship again right now," I confessed. 


"Sam, it's been months," Trevor said.


"I know," I said.


"You also knew Sami more than all of us, so you should know that she wouldn't want you sitting here being sad. She'd want you to be out there meeting someone else," Kian said. 


"So you guys think I should ask out Maia?" I asked.


"Yes!" They all said in unison. 


"How do I do it? I didn't really even ask Sami, we just ended up kissing," I said. 


"I don't recommend doing that. Dani slapped me the first time I tried to kiss her, and we were dating," Trevor said and everyone laughed. 


"How did that work on Sami?" JC asked.


"I don't even know. She was different than most girls," I said.


"This might be weird, but I cant talk about her anymore, I might breakdown," Kian said.


We talked for about ten more minutes before I heard the door open and close. 


"It's not us! You guys are being robbed," Makayla yelled.


"Oh no! What are we gonna do?" I playfully said. 


"This seems like a problem for you guys. I don't have anything here for them to take," Kian said and we all shot him a look.


"What do you mean?" Aria asked confused.


"I might as well just tell you," Kian sighed, "I moved out a few weeks ago. We didn't wanna tell anyone yet," he confessed. 


"Why?" she asked.


"Sam and I had a pretty big fight, I guess you could say," he said. 


"Oh," was all she said.


"Well let's go upstairs," Makayla said.


"Nice Kian! You slipped up! Now they're gonna tell everyone. Next it's Trevor's gonna slip up and tell someone about him and Dani being engaged," Ricky said.


"Since when have you two been engaged!" I said. 


"I thought you already knew," he said.


"She's 14!" I said. 


"No one said we were getting married tomorrow. Plus we all know you were gonna propose to Sami on her birthday," he argued. 


"I never said that, and she was 18 and I'm 19," I argued back.


"Guys stop fighting! I say we prank the girls," Kian said. 


"What are we gonna do?" JC asked.


"Saran wrap the door?" Kian suggested. 


"I'm gonna go get it from the garage!" I half yelled and ran to the garage.


I found it quickly and ran back in the house. Kian had duct tape and Trevor had scissors. We walked up the stairs quietly. Ricky grabbed the step ladder out of his room and brought it over by the door. Kian stepped on it and duct tapped some Saran wrap to the top of the door. After ten minutes he was almost done. I walked into my room and grabbed my go pro. in my doorway and kept it pointed towards the room they are in. We walked downstairs and waited. 20 minutes later I heard the door open and someone run into it. We were all trying to hold in our laughter. Kian and JC were vlogging it.


"Kian you are so dead!" Makayla yelled.


"Run! Run!" Kian said and we all ran out the front door. 


We just kept running until we turned around to see that they weren't following us. 


"They're planning something," Connor said.


"Now we've gotta run back, and fast," I said.


We all started running back. Right as I turned into the driveway the garage door closed. I ran over to the front door and it was locked. I ran over to the gate and it was locked too. 


"They locked us out," I said.


"It's about to storm too," JC said while looking up at the sky.


"They wouldn't leave us out in a storm," Trevor said. 


"Sure they would. We just put saran wrap all over their door," Kian said. 


"Then how about the six of us just go get food without them?" Connor said.


"My keys are inside," Kian said.


"So are mine," Ricky added.


"My mom just texted me, they're making burgers. It's only about a 10 minute walk," Trevor said.


"Then, let's go," Connor said and began to march off.
