Hey. So if you read my story before this notice you'll know what it's about. I re wrote it because I hadn't updated it in a couple years. Umm I hope you like it, I have three other chapters that i'm going to re write and post on here so be patient. I started this again because at the moment i'm on a 2 week school break (thank god) and I thought I should do something productive.
As Sam pulled into River Bend Ranch, the place she'd called home for half her life, she wasn't prepared for the sight she saw. A big blue and white banner saying 'Welcome home Sam' and about 100 people all in the ranch yard. "Great" sighed Sam she didn't want a big welcome back party she just wanted to unpack and go to sleep as she had been awake since 4 the previous morning waiting for planes and boarding them.
Sam hadn't been the one who had decided to come for a visit; she had received a call from her gram asking her to come for a visit and to catch up with everyone, and of course she felt obliged to come because she hadn't seen the people of Darton in 6 years.
When Sam finished high school she went to college and then University majoring in Photo Journalism. She graduated early, top of her class because the University felt that she couldn't learn anymore from them. Then when that newspaper could offer no better opportunity's Sam moved to New York and got a job for New York times, Sam got to travel all over the world taking photos. She had been to Iraq, China, Japan, Australia, Africa and most of the European countries.
According to Sam she had the best job in the world but her Gram called while she was in Germany Sam could only make out bits of that conversation but the basic gist was to come and suffer torture catching up with her family and friends. Sam had better things to do but her Gram sounded desperate so Sam organized a flight to leave it a week.
She knew she would miss spending time visiting new and exciting places but the only contact she'd had with her family was the irregular phone calls to tell them where she was, why and how long she'd be there. In truth Sam did occasionally miss her family when it was Christmas time and she was in a place surrounded by happy families, but that longing was soon forgotten when she had another assignment to get on with and another city to admire.
Now Sam was a single 26 girl with too many photo's and shoes. She'd had a few boyfriends but she had to say goodbye to each of them in a matter of few weeks due to her jet setting ways, so she never really had anything serious. Except for Dylan.
Sam had met Dylan when she was in France. She was lining up the perfect shot of a family shopping, when some guy just strolled right through and stopped in the way. Sam was furious; she marched up to him and started yelling at him. When he turned to look at her she noticed he was smirking at her. That made Sam angrier she could hardly contain her anger and she struck out at him, hitting him right in the jaw.
He was shocked, but she was horrified at herself and she immediately rubbed where she had hit him. "Sorry Sorry" she was saying over and over. Sam stood there rubbing his chin when she noticed he wasn't moving, when she stared into his eyes she was shocked into silence. They stood there just looking at each other Sam looked into his eyes which were the darkest blue she'd ever seen and he looked into hers.
Sam didn't know what was happening to her; she just looked at him and could see them spending the rest of their lives together. There was something about him that screamed out to her, he's the one. After that moment Sam and Dylan spent every moment together-even when she was working. She learnt a lot about him that he was from England originally but moved to France when he was 15, after his parents were killed in a car accident.
He was a V8 supercar driver and was going on tour in a month. They both had their deadlines of their stay but still they stayed together. Sam asked the paper she worked for if she could also go on tour with them and take photos for the sport page. They agreed and let her go. When it was about 2 weeks into the tour Sam's period was late. She didn't think much of it until, one morning she woke up sick.
Sam knocked back ideas that she could actually be pregnant. Still she decided that it was better safe than sorry so she brought a pregnancy test. She was nervous about the result but also a little excited. She would have the love of her life's baby growing inside her. Sam was going through all the different possibilities when she noticed the blue plus sign. Sam was ecstatic and couldn't get to the phone quick enough; she rang Dylan and told him to come home immediately.
When Dylan opened the door he expected to see something wrong with Sam. But Sam was smiling so widely he thought that maybe she'd won the lottery. When Sam told him she was pregnant he was shocked. For a few seconds he stood there. Sam though maybe he didn't want the baby, and was about to cry when all of a sudden he brought her into his arms and kissed and hugged her so tight that she could barely breath, but Sam was still happy.
Dylan was talking so fast she could barely hear him. "We can buy a house with 3 bedrooms, and have a yellow room or maybe pink or blue, I don't know maybe we should wait to paint the room till we know what gender the baby is". Sam was glad he was happy about the baby, she could see them with 2 kids enrolled in a school and she could still do her photography job but travel less.
Sam and Dylan feel asleep that night entwined in each other dreaming happy dreams and loving each other so much they nearly burst. The next morning Sam woke and could smell a delicious scent coming from the kitchen. When she walked in she saw Dylan behind the frying pan cooking up a feast. When he saw her he smiled saying "Good Morning Beautiful".
"Good Morning to you too hot stuff" Sam replied. Today was the last day in Berlin and tomorrow the tour was heading to the UK. Sam was excited when she and Dylan set of in the car toward the speedway. When they got there Sam went up to her regular spot right by the track and watched as Dylan was gearing up to do a few warm-ups. When Dylan started driving he gave her a wave and a smile, which Sam each returned.
Sam was intent on listening to the loudspeaker when she heard a few gasps around her. When she looked into the direction they were, and what she saw made her gut turn. A few miles up the track Dylan's car had blown a tire and was heading straight toward the concrete wall. Sam felt powerless and sick. She lost consciousness but not before she heard a loud metallic crash.
Sam remembered waking up in a room with a nice window view; she recalled thinking what a nice photo it would make. Then she realized why she was there, and that made her feel like sinking straight through this bed and through the floor into the ground where she wouldn't remember what had happened.
But of course she would always remember what happened, so she opened her eyes just in time, as the doctor had just entered the room smiling. He said he was pleased to say that her and her baby were in top health Sam was a little happy but still that could not erase the terror that was going to happen with his next words. Abruptly the doctor's expression turned sad, and then he spoke the next words that would haunt her forever, "I'm sorry, Sam but Dylan he wasn't so lucky". Sam didn't understand "What"? She asked the doctor "There wasn't anything we can do he died at the scene".
Now as Sam got out of the car her hand flew to her stomach where an inconspicuous bump was appearing. The faces of her family and friends were unimportant to her though she had not seen them in at 6 years, all she was thinking about was the life her newborn child, how it would be raising a child on her own and the life they could have together without a father. Guilt was eating away at her; if only she had stopped Dylan from racing then they could've visited her family together. Sam had no time for other thoughts as her Dad pulled her into a close hug and whispered in her ear "I'm so glad your back honey".
