"I'm sorry Robin, she gets like this. Immature I know." Sam saw
April's gob smacked expression as she stood up and slammed her hand
on the table,

"Excuse me? Well news flash for you. I've been vegetarian since mum
left. Okay? Screw this, I'm going home." She grabbed her leather
jacket and headed for the door.

"April?" Sam stood up aswell, "I'm not keen on chicken either so do
you want to go for pizza? Vegetarian pizza's my favourite." April
frowned,

"Yeah whatever just get me out of here rich boy." Sam glimpsed at his
mum and gave her `the look'. He grabbed his keys and left the
table, "It was nice meeting you John and we'll have to do this again
soon." John nodded,

"Sorry about her." Sam shook his head,

"No problem"

Sam led April to his black jeep. He opened the passenger door
and let her climb in. As he started up the car she turned to him,
"You know you can just drop me off at my friend's house on the way to
the Pizza place. She's having a party so I'll be fine there." Sam
laughed,

"Why would I drop you there? I told you I was taking you out for
pizza and that's what I'm doing." April's eyes widened,

"What… what are you talking about?" Sam shrugged,

"I told your dad I was taking you for pizza so…" April shuffled,

"Stop here. I'm getting out." Sam didn't stop, "Sam her house is
there! Come on…" She slumped back in her chair, "Sam let me out or
I'll tell my dad you tried to rape me." Sam hit the brakes sending
her crashing forward and smacking her head on the wind screen. "Ouch
you jerk!"

"What is your problem? I have tried to be nice to you and you respond
like this! You know what… forget it. I'm going home and you're coming
with me. I don't care if you starve." April licked her purple lips
and reached for her bag. She pulled out her mini disk player and
punched the plugs in her ears. Sam sighed, he was never like that. He
was never that bad. Was he? April put the player back in her bag as
they pulled into the drive; she leapt out of the car and began
sprinting before he even undid his belt. Sam practically fell out of
the car following her. He started after her, chasing her. Luckily she
was wearing high heeled boots and he was wearing trainers. He caught
her in no time. He grabbed her shoulder; she turned and slapped his
face.

"Get away from me Sam. I swear I will beat the crap out of you if you
try to stop me." Sam steadied her by holding her shoulders,

"April, what's wrong with you? What happened to make you like this? I
don't know you but in a way I do…" April shook her head,

"Are you on something? You're sure as hell not making any sense to
me." Sam ran a hand through his hair,

"April. After my parents split up I started using. I was a bastard to
be around. My mom ended up hating me. That's my reason, what's
yours?" April's lips twitched,

"It's none of your business." She wriggled her arms free, "Now get
lost." The rain had started to patter on her face, Sam couldn't tell
if she was crying or if it was the droplets of water. He grabbed her
wrist and spun locking her in an arm lock. She winced and yelped in
pain.

"Sorry I know this place too well to get lost but you don't and you
will get lost so I'm escorting you home." April sneered,

"Oh, you're my hero."

Sam shifted April into a head lock when they reached the
front door. Her arms beat against his sides as he fiddled with the
keys. He released her the moment the door opened. Robin and John were
snuggled on the sofa, Robin looked up,

"How was the pizza?" Sam folded his arms and stared at April,

"Fine," she huffed, "I'm soaked. Can we go home now?" John stood up
and placed his arm around Robin,

"Okay April, but first we have some news. Uh, Robin and I… we uh…"
Robin grinned,

"Sam we're moving in together." She hugged John. Sam and April glared
at each other.
