disclamier: i don't own popular or it's characters.
Set just after their parents start dating and moved in together. Soon to be step-sisters that hate each other or to be believed anyway. For this Sam has dated George and Brooke is with Josh again. This is my take on what could happen if they actually talked to each other with peers interfering.
"Hey Brooke." Sam knocked timidly before entering her soon to be step-sisters room. Finding her alone she relaxed a little. "Um, can we meet up later at the place. I kinda' need to talk to you." Brooke took a moment before answering noticing Sam's demeanor.
"I have a date with Josh." She was saddened by the look that appeared immediately on Sam's face after her response.
"Oh ok." Sam whispered quietly as she turned for the door.
"But I could cancel it." Brooke blurted out stopping Sam's progress for the door. Sam turned and stared questioning at Brooke. She had never cancelled a date with Josh before. Not once in the two months they had been meeting in secret. "I need to talk too." Brooke shrugged deflecting the question in Sam's eyes that she didn't have a real answer for.
"Um ok same spot as always." Sam called back as she left the room quickly.
Brooke's POV sort of like her reflections while driving to the motel
Dinner that evening was awkward as usual with me and Sam continuing the bitter teen rivalry act. But tonight I couldn't keep my eyes from watching Sam. Her feelings for Sam has been changing since their engine trouble incident just over 2 months ago. They had talked a lot during their hours stuck and had enjoyed it so much that they started meeting weekly at a motel just out of town so their parents didn't find out. For their parents and friends they hated each other but privately behind closed doors they were closer then either thought they would be. The fact that Sam was nervously glancing at her didn't ease Brooke's tension or make the meal end soon enough. Once finished both girls excused themselves quickly to get ready for their meeting.
Sam would drive her car about 3 blocks after telling her parents she was going to a friends and then Brooke would pick her up after giving a similar story and drive them to the motel. They started driving together when Brooke joked about what Lilly would say about the environment 'cause they were using two cars to go to the same place. The drive was always silent but never awkward. When they arrived Brooke would drop Sam off at the office and park the car out of sight and then meet her at their usual room. Sitting down across from Sam she looked at her expectantly only to have Sam clear her throat and look away.
"Um I asked you here because I have been questioning myself."
"Are you saying your…" Brooke started gently after seeing Sam's lost look.
"I don't know. I've been having these thoughts and feelings about girls that I never felt about guys ever. Not even with George." Sam sighed. "I think I need time to figure it out but I sort of wanted you to know first and also just needed someone to talk to." Brooke nodded and moved closer to Sam putting her hand on her leg and gently squeezed.
"That's ok whatever you need I am here." Sam smiled.
"Yeah I know. So what did you need to talk about."
"Oh yeah um mine is just that I'm doubting my feelings for Josh. I'm just not sure if we should be giving it another try."
"But I thought you guys got back together 'cause your feelings for each other were so strong." Sam voiced the question of confusion that had been bugging Brooke also.
"I know but lately he just annoys me more and I get distracted while with him." Sam smiled at Brooke's nervous tone.
"Hey don't worry it's normal to be preoccupied sometimes." They spent the next couple of hours just chatting about easy topics before returning home and to their own rooms as naturally as the buzzing in their heads would allow.
