You Told Me You Loved Me
Chapter 2
Freshman Year: I saw Sam the rest of they day, he was
in every single one of my classes: EVERY ONE! After
school as we were waiting for our rides we got to
know each other for real. His real name is Samuel and
he was born in Colorado in 1995. His birthday is the
23 of March and he had lived in two different states
until he moved here to Chicago, Il. His father served
in the military when he was little and now he
doesn't have a real left foot. He now works as a
electrician for the state. His mother is a doctor at
the hospital down the street.
He learned a lot about me too. I have lived in
Chicago my whole life in the same house 15 miles away
from the school. I was born on 24 of May in 1996. My
mother works at the same hospital, she's a nurse
there. My father is not with us anymore. I have no
idea where he is now and I don't care to find
out. The last time I heard from him was when I was
five and he called me and told me he loved me, then
hung up. I never knew it was the last time I would
hear from him.
When my mother never came his mom drove me home. I
thanked her and I found out he lived down the street,
he must have been the guy who moved in this past
summer who I dropped off my mother's homemade
cookies for and I caught a glimpse of a boy who's
eyes were bloodshot, his nose was runny, and was
wrapped in a blanket. I wonder if he was sick or if
it was something
else.
