~A/N: okay le sing when I tell ya to. Hope you like the chapter~

(Y/N)

You pulled your hand away quickly. That was three people besides yourself that knew.

"N-Nothing," you answered Sam, pulling up your wristbands. "It's nothing!" You turned away, crossing your arms over your chest.

Sam placed his hand gently on your shoulder, turning you back around. He took his sleeve and pulled it down. Then he showed you his wrist.

"Look closely," he said.

So you did. There, on his wrist, were faint scar marks trailing up and down his skin.

"No," you breathed in disbelief. Sam nodded his head, giving you a half-smile.

"Why? You're life is okay! You've got Taurtis and Grian and..."

"You don't know how long I've had these scars." (A/N: 'CAUSE THESE WORDS ARE KNIVES THAT OFTEN LEAVE SCAAARRRRS...ahem. Sorry)

You looked at him with wide eyes. "You mean, before you met them?"

"Yes..."

The bell rang beneath you.

"Well, lunch is over," Sam said. "Wanna go to gym, or...?"

"I'd rather stay right here." You took Sam's hand and intertwined your fingers. The both of you smiled.

There was a few moments of peaceful silence. Then you let out a small laugh.

Sam looked at you, confused.

"I realized that I missed the whole school day today," you said.

Sam snorted. "You're lucky. You missed Okami's lecture."

You both laughed for a bit, then quieted down. Suddenly, you got an idea.

"Hey Sam?"

"Yeah?"

"Can you sing?"

"What?"

"Can you sing?"

"Um, kinda..."

"Good." You pulled your phone out of your pocket. Of course, you went to music and scrolled through all your songs. Finally, you got to the one you were looking for.

"I hope you know the words to this song," you said.

Sam listened. "I do," he replied.

So you sang.

~A/N: hooollllld up. There's a key here. Bold = Sam singing  Italics = you singing  Bold & Italics = both of you singing. Now play the song~

"Haven't seen you since high school. Good to see you're still beautiful. Gravity hasn't started to pull, quite yet; I bet you're rich as hell."

"One that's five and one that's three. Been two years since he left me. Good to know that you got free; that town I know was keeping you down on your knees."

"These bruises, make for better conversation. Loses, the vibe that separates."

"It's good to let you in again, you're not alone in how you've been. Everybody loses, we all got bruises."

"We all got bruises...

"Have you seen him?"

"Not in years. How about her?"

"No, but I hear, she's in Queens with the man of her dreams..."

"Funny back then she said that about you.

"Que sera, you'll never guess who I saw. Remember Johnny B.?"

"Remember him? We were best friends practically! Let's do this soon again..."

"Ten years is that what it's been?"

"Can't believe how time flies by..."

"Leaving you makes me wanna cry..."

Sam stood up and offered you his hand. You took it, and he pulled you up. He took your hand in his and out his free hand on your waist. You placed your free hand on his shoulder, and you two became dancing, while still singing.

"These bruises, make for better conversation. Loses, the vibe that separates. It's good to let you in again, you're not alone in how you've been. Everybody loses, we all got bruises."

"We all got bruises. I would love to fix it all for you."

"I would love to fix you too."

"Please don't fix a thing whatever you do..."

"These bruises, make for better conversation. Loses, the vibe that separates. It's good to know you've got a friend, that you remember now and then. Everybody loses..."

"These bruises, make for better conversation. Loses, the vibe that separates. It's good to let you in again, you're not alone in how you've been."

"Everybody loses."

"Everybody loses."

"Everybody loses, we all got bruises. We all got bruises."

"We all got bruises."

You ended your dance with Sam twirling you around. Then there was a gasp from behind you. You and Sam both turned, stepped away from each other.

Wanna know who was standing there? It was Okami.

~A/N: helllllo peoplez! I have something to ask you. Sooooo, I've been OBSESSED with Srian/Griam lately. Seriously, I wrote 6 or 7 one-shots in the time period of ONE DAY. So, I was thinking, do you peoplez want me to post them somewhere? It would probably be in my 'What do you think of this?' book thingy. Is that something you'd want to read? Let me know! And I'll see you soon, Chosen Ones!~
