A/N-I wanted to try something a little different with my Brooke and Sam stories so in this one they are sisters. Hopefully I can write them with the same passion as sisters like I can with them being mother and daughter.
The Davis Family:
Victoria Anne Davis (Age 50)
Richard Edgar Davis (Age 50)
Brooke Penelope Davis (Age 23)
Samantha Rae Davis (Age 15)
Chapter One: The Davis Family Tragedy
Victoria and Richard were what someone would call 'high school sweethearts'. They both had attended Trinity School in New York City as teenagers. Richard was captain of the football team and Victoria was his cheerleader girlfriend. After high school they both went on to NYU where Richard studied business as well as Victoria, but soon after their four years Richard went to law school. After law school Richard proposed to Victoria at his graduation. She accepted and they were married 6 months later.
At age 27, Richard and Victoria Davis had it all. They had the jobs, Richard as a first time lawyer and Victoria as a small time business owner. They also had news that they were becoming parents and in all actuality they never wanted to be parents, but did the right thing and had the child anyway.
Brooke Penelope Davis was born on March 4th 1987.
Then 8 years later they had another child, another girl.
Samantha Rae Davis was born on June 8th 1995.
When Brooke was born, Victoria and Richard hired a nanny to take care of her, but they were there for the important moments in her life. The same went for Sam.
They were their when Brooke started cheerleading and when Sam wanted guitar lessons and vocal lessons. They just never really were there the entire time, but their nanny, Amber was.
Growing up Brooke loved being an older sister to Sam. Sam had followed her everywhere and even though at times Brooke thought it was annoying she secretly loved it.
They even had nicknames for each other.
Some of Brooke's were Brookie or grasshopper.
Some of Sam's were Sammy Rae or beetle.
The two girls loved grasshopper and beetle the most though.
Despite the 8 year difference their bond was stronger than most siblings, until Brooke turned 18 and was going to college. That was the day their relationship changed.
Brooke finished packing up the last of her boxes and exited out the room to find Amber standing in front of her sister's door.
"Amber, what are you doing?" Brooke says as she stands next.
30 year old Amber Wilson looked to her left to see Brooke standing next to her.
"Oh Miss Davis," Brooke rolls her eyes at the formality. "It appears Miss Samantha won't open her door."
Brooke raises an eyebrow and then looks at Amber.
"How come?"
Amber looks at Brooke and smiles.
"I think it might have to do with you leaving," Amber whispers into Brooke's ear.
Brooke softly sighs and closes her eyes. When she opens them she sees Amber smiling softly at her.
"I'll see what I can do."
Amber nods her head and walks away.
Brooke knocks on the door and talks through it in hopes to reach her sister's ear.
"Beetle, open up the door please."
When Brooke thought no one would answer, Sam finally responded.
"No."
Brooke knocks on the door and twists the doorknob to find that it was unlocked.
"Beetle, I'm coming in okay?"
Sam didn't respond so Brooke did what she said she was going to do. When Brooke came into the room she saw her 10 year old sister hugging her pillow close to her chest. She also had tears in her eyes. Brooke sits down on the side of her sister's bed and runs her fingers through the brown hair.
"Do you want to tell me why you are crying?"
Sam shakes her head and Brooke sighs.
"Beetle, are you sad that I am leaving?"
Sam sniffles and looks up at her sister. She nods her head slowly.
"Baby, come here," Brooke says as she opens her arms up so that her sister could fit snug against her side. "It's okay to be sad, but I promise you will see me lots and lots."
"But you're leaving and you're going far far away."
"I'm going to live in North Carolina so that I can go to school, but New York will always be where I grew up…with you."
Sam nods her head.
"I'm gonna miss you grasshopper."
"I'm gonna miss you too, beetle."
The next day, early in the morning Brooke walks into her sister's room and places something next to her, something that would always remind her of her sister, a purple monkey.
When Sam woke up that day she instantly ran to her sister's bedroom and found that everything was gone. Amber had watched the little girl run through the house so she followed her. Sam turned to look at Amber with tears in her eyes.
"She's gone."
"I'm sorry child."
Sam slowly walked back into her room and found the monkey. She threw it under her bed and sulked until dinner.
Over the next 4 and half years the girls barely talked or saw each other. Brooke had gotten busy and Sam quit caring.
Brooke went to UNC where she met Haley and Nathan Scott with 6 month old James Lucas Scott, shortly after she met Lucas Scott and Julian Baker. Brooke went on to get a degree in business and owns a small shop so that she can work on her passion which is fashion. The name of her small shop is Clothe over Bro's. She hasn't dated much, but there are two boys who have Brooke Davis on their minds, Lucas Scott and Julian Baker.
Back in New York Samantha Davis grew into a troubled teen from what her parents say. The only thing that's keeping her out of legal trouble is her friends and her music. She's currently the lead singer/song writer in a band with 3 other members. Every time she knows she is going to perform she has asked Brooke to come, but she never does.
Little do both girls know that something major is going to change the rest of their lives.
New York
It was early morning when Sam walked into the kitchen to see Amber fixing her a sandwich. She was humming on of Sam's songs and she had to smile at that.
"Hey Amber."
Amber looks up at Sam and smiles.
"Hey there Miss Samantha."
"What are you doing here?"
Amber stops what she is doing and stares into Sam's eyes.
"It appears that someone is neglected their job of going to school."
Sam rolls her eyes and sits atop the counter while Amber went back to fixing Sam's lunch.
"Did my parents call you or the school?"
"Both," Amber says as she puts the sandwich fixings away.
"I hate school and besides aren't my parents coming home today?"
Amber nods her head.
"They should actually be here before you go to school so you will have to deal with them."
"Great just what I need," Sam groans out.
Amber points her finger at Sam.
"You're the one who got into this mess."
Sam shrugs her shoulders. Just then the door to the house opens and Victoria and Richard walk through the door. They walk into the kitchen and stand behind Sam.
"Hey dad, mom."
"Samantha," Victoria says in a harsh tone. "I hope you plan on going to school today."
"Yes ma'am," Sam responds with a smirk.
Richard his a hint of a smirk on his face as well.
"Well that's good. I'll see you later," Victoria says before walking out of the kitchen.
Sam gets off of the counter and faces her father.
"Did you want something sir?"
Richard smiles and shakes his head.
"Just go to school Samantha okay?"
Sam nods her head.
"Okay daddy."
"That's my girl," Richard says before walking out of the room.
"Miss Samantha, you better get a move on before you are late to school."
Sam rolls her eyes and grabs hr bag and lunch.
"The joys of Trinity high school," Sam sighs after saying while walking out the front door.
Amber laughs and shakes her head.
"Silly girl."
Tree Hill
At 23 Brooke Davis already had many things. She had a job, she had friends and she even has a house. Brooke has always wanted to be her own boss and now she can.
Brooke walks into her store and flips on the lights. She goes straight to the counter and gets the cash register going so that she can start her work day.
After about an hour of work, Lucas Scott strolls into the store with coffee in his hands.
"Hey there Brooke," Lucas says with a smile.
Brooke smiles back at him.
"Hey there Luke. Are one of those for me?"
Lucas nods his head and hands Brooke a cup. She takes a sip and hums.
"Just what I wanted thank you."
Lucas nods his head.
"Not a problem…so, what do you have to do today?" Lucas asks as he looks around the store.
"Inventory mostly, is there a particular reason why you asked me?"
Lucas shook his head.
"Nope just curious."
"You are one strange man Lucas Scott."
Lucas laughs and takes a sip of his coffee.
"Strangely, I think I'm okay with that."
New York
Sam walks up the Trinity high school steps and is instantly greeted by her boyfriend, Steven.
"Hey baby," Steven says with a smile before kissing Sam softly on the lips.
"Hello there," Sam says in a soft tone.
"You seem off today. What's wrong?"
"Parents came home," Sam says simply.
Steven nods his head.
"Come on, we should get to class."
Sam doesn't answer she just follows her boyfriend up the steps and into the school.
Normally Sam would end up going through school until lunch and then she would skip the rest of the time, but today she decided not to do it.
For the first half of the day Sam had Math, English, and Choir. Then she had lunch and after that was her last three classes that she would usually skip, which were Gym, History and Biology.
It was in the middle of Math class that her routine changed.
Sam looked up from her book when she noticed the school principal, Ms. Adams and the school guidance counselor, Mr. Smith.
"Samantha, can we see you for a few minutes?" Ms. Adams asks.
Sam closes her books and puts them in her back pack before getting up from her desk and following the older adults to the principal's office.
Steven was worried about his girlfriend, but at the moment there was nothing he could do for her. He hoped she would tell him at lunch.
When Sam entered the principal's office, two police officers were wearing sad looks.
"What's going on?" Sam asks as she looks around.
Mr. Smith stands in front of Sam.
"Sam, I'm sorry to tell you this, but there was an accident and your parents were involved."
"Are they okay?" Sam whispers as tears start to form.
"They died."
Sam slowly started to sit down on a nearby chair. One of the police officers stepped forward.
"A member from the Tree Hill police department is going to inform your sister."
But those words never registered with her. The only words that were in her mind were…
They died.
Tree Hill
"So, how is that sister of yours?" Lucas asks.
Brooke sighs and glances at the picture on her cash register. It was about a month before Brooke left for college.
"I'm not sure. I haven't really talked to her."
"Brooke, you have to talk to her otherwise she may never forgive you."
Before Brooke has a chance to respond the bell above the door rings and Brooke looks over at it to see a police officer enter.
"Is there something I can help you with officer?" Brooke asks.
"Are you Brooke Davis?"
Brooke nods her head.
"Yeah, what's going on?"
"I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but it appears that your parents were killed in an automobile accident earlier this morning."
"Oh my god," Brooke whispers as tears start to well in her eyes. Lucas puts his hands on her shoulders as a form of comfort. "Um…what about Sam?"
"Is that your sister?"
Brooke nods her head.
"Someone in New York is informing her of the news."
"Beetle," Brooke whispers before turning around and burying her face in Lucas chest.
A/N-That's it for the first chapter…Should I continue? If I do I am going to try to write at least 2,000 words instead of my normal at least 1,000. Hopefully it suffices to your liking. Review and tell me what you think please!
