"I give up." I give up. Three words that could have the exact same meaning but be completely different just by changing the tone one said them in. Did Sam mean she was giving up trying to explain to him because she couldn't find the right words? Or perhaps, did she mean that he was being thick, giving up because he wouldn't understand. It was hard to use her tone as an indicator, mostly because she had her face pressed to the floor. ( ooc: ? )
Adam turned around, and quietly asked, "What do you mean, you give up?" His intentions of leaving still nagged at him, telling him it was time to leave before he was hurt more, but Adam felt he needed to stay, at least a little while longer. He walked over and sat down in front of Sam, deciding that maybe it would be best if he just let it go. He was obviously putting her through a lot of discomfort. "Look, Sam, forget I ever brought it up. It isn't so important that I would throw away our friendship because you didn't respond the way I thought you would. Still friends?"

"Or maybe Adam, your not listening." She said, keeping her face on the ground. "Do you not realize that this whole time I have only been trying to tell you that I feel the same way you do. But you just don't seem to want to hear it. And when I said I give up, I mean I am not going to sit here for hours sayingthe same thing over and over because you just won't get it." She said, finally stopping, she was out of breath. She didn't bother to get up and look at him. "And you know what, I am not going forget about it.I am not. You wanna know why? Becasue I won't be able to look at you with out thinking about how I just let you walk out of here tonight." She said at last. Then she just got really quiet.
(ooc: when I am really upset, I lay on the floor and cry. I dont know why, but I do.So now she is laying on the floor without crying-yet.)

A long, painful silence filled the room once she finished. Sam's rebuke hurt like a sharp slap to the face. He stood back up, and just stared at her for a minute, not wanting to say something at her when he was angry. She's right you know, Adam told himself. You should only be angry at yourself, not her. He didn't feel the voice was putting up a very good case.
Adam, looked down at her, and asked "Sam, have you ever been in love? Did you love your parents? Friends? Perhaps even a boyfriend when you were younger? Did they love you in return? Tell you that they did? I didn't Sam. My family hates me. I have no friends besides the ones I have made here, few as they are. I have never been in love before now. Would you know how to act, Sam? Would you know who to believe, when you were surrounded by liars? Would you know who to give your heart, when they lived to destroy it? Live my life, and then try to 'get it.' " Adam had been getting angrier and angrier by the second, and by the end of his rant, he was livid. Not at Sam, but at the world in general. He had also begun pacing while he was yelling, eventually ending up by the window again. He drew in a deep breath of the fresh air, trying to calm down, wishing he hadn't said those things. He knew next to nothing about Sam's past, so as far as he knew, she could have it worse than he did.

Samantha stood up. A tear streaked face shown in the moonlight. She didn't even care if he saw her cry.
"You know what Adam, my parents, they're dead. And about anyone else I might have loved, I didn't know love even exsisted before I came here." She said, her tone was one of hurt.
"What are you trying to say Adam? You didn't really mean it?" She asked, her tear filled eyes looking right into his.
"Don't be mad at me Adam. All I wanted you to know was that you mean so much more to me then a friend, and you got mad. So I don't know what I am supposed to do." She said, not takeing her eyes away. She let the tears fall, not bothering to wipe them away.
Fineally she looked away, ashamed of herself, for every thing she had said tonight. She realized how foolish she must look. She wanted to be able to turn back time and make everything aliright. To let him know how she felt, make the words come out right, but she couldn't. And now he wouldn't beleive her, she had already tried to tell him she loved him.
Way to go Sam, you have made someone else unhappy as well as yourself...Way to mess evrything up.She thought to herself, somehow makeing herself feel worse seemed to be the right thing to do.

Adam could hear Sam shifting on the floor, and when he turned around to talk to her, they were already face to face. The moonlight glinted off the tears flowing freely down her face, and Adam knew he had said something that had cut her, and cut her deeply.
As Sam explained her story, Adam could feel nothing other than sharp remorse, sorry he ever even thought of saying anything about his past. This explained a lot of things he had always wondered about Sam. At least he still had a family, people who took care of him. What did she have? Another sharp pang of guilt rocked his conscience as he thought about his upbringing, and tried to imagine what hers was like.
"What are you trying to say Adam? You don't really mean it?" Adam wanted to laugh and cry at the same time because of the irony of the whole situation. In just an instant, he had managed to turn the situation in the complete opposite direction. Now he was the one faced with an awkward questions. Perhaps it was fate coming to bite him in the butt.
Before Adam could say anything, Sam continued. "Don't be mad at me Adam. All I wanted you to know was that you mean so much more to me then a friend, and you got mad. So I don't know what I am supposed to do." Adam hated seeing Sam like this, so distressed. He watched with pain as the tears flowed down her face once more, and began to fall.
As Sam looked away, Adam could take no more. He took a few steps forward, and hugged her to him, hoping she wouldn't decide at that moment to stop being sad, and start being angry. He held her close and whispered softly to her as his own tears began to run down his face, "I'm so sorry Sam. I love you, and I would never intentionally hurt you. I believe you, and I do mean it. Forgive me, please?"

Samantha hugged him back. She pressed her head to his neck. She stayed there, glad he wasn't mad at her anymore. And he smelt good. (ooc:lol). She pulled away from him and wiped her eyes. She smiled, it was weak, but still a smile.
"Of course I forgive you." She told him, one last tear fell from her eyes, "Your not just saying that are you,becasue I told you I have no family?" She smiled, showing she was jokeing. Then she threw her arms back around him. She was undenieably happy about what had just happend.
(god where is my muse, damnet..sorry the post sucks. I tried)

ooc: I have no idea how tall your charater is lol, so correct me if I'm wrong
Adam stood in mute happiness as he held Sam in his arms. He smiled down at her, and lovingly stroked the back of her hair. He couldn't believe how lucky he was. She was beautiful, smart, kind, helpful, all and all a good friend, but better yet, she loved him. A smile crept onto his face, and he sniffled, feeling as though the tears might come back. Tonight had to be one of the best nights of his life.
ooc2: sorry for crap short post.

(ooc: yeah she is like 8ft..jk dont worry about your post lol.)
Samantha smiled and looked up at him. "So, does that make us a couple?" She asked with a smile on her face. She thought back to the begining of the night. She came here not knowing any of this was going to happen. And how amazeing it was that it turned out this way. Well, it could have gone without the fight. But nothing is perfect, right?
She moved away from him and took his hand, she laced her fingers with his. She looked out the window, where the sky seemed to be growing brighter.

Adam smiled at Sam as she asked, "So, does that make us a couple?" "I guess it does love, I guess it does." Adam felt Sam reach for his hand and lace her fingers through his. Looking out the window, Adam noticed it was getting brighter. The sun is coming up already?! Adam couldn't believe how much time had passed since he had begun his conversation with Sam. Though it turned out to be so much more than that in the end.
Turning away from the window, Adam looked at Sam, squeezing her hand affectionately. "Perhaps we should go to bed. Its getting late -er, early. The teachers won't care if were in love with each other if we can't do our school work." He smiled at her, waiting to see if she agreed with him, not wanting to leave if she had anything else to say.

Samantha sighed, knowing he was right. "Okay. If we have to." She said with a small smile. She knew she wouldn't go to sleep once she got to the Common Room, but she might as well go back with him. "So wanna walk back to the Common Room with me or by yourself?" She asked him wih a small laugh.

Adam pretended to think about it for a moment before letting out an exaggerated sigh. "I guess you can come with me, if you're not too much of a bother," He said, glancing at Sam with a look of mock long-suffering. After taking one last look out the window towards the brightening sky, Adam turned away and began to head back to the Common Room, hand in hand with his love.
ooc: Sorry for short-crap post, but I just wanted to end the thread.
