Kind of ish sad story I thought of. Hope you like it.
*Flashback*
"Hey Freddie!"
"Yeah Sam?"
"Me and Melanie are going to Groovy Smoothies."
After I found out Melanie was real, she's been hanging with Sam and me and Robert a lot. She's been acting a little strange towards me.
But I'm committed to Sam, I will never ever have any thought towards Melanie. No matter how she wanted to dress, or how much she flirted with me, I never once had any thought.
Until she was my only choice. The closest thing I'd ever have to you.
She looked like you. Not the same sparks. Not the same attitude.
She was never even my second choice. I never even had a second choice.
But Robert needed a Mom. Not a legal mom. But a mother none the less. He thought she was you. And inward I laugh and cry. She will never be you. Ever. No one in the world is like you. Never ever.
I remembered Melanie calling.
"Freddie!"
"Melanie! Why are you crying?"
"Freddie you need to get to the police station right now! I just called Carly and Spencer, they're their way too. You can't bring Robby, have a neighbor watch him."
"Why?"
"It's Sam, Freddie!"
"On my way!"
I hung up. "Robby!"
"Coming Daddy!" I heard from the other room.
I looked at the little boy in wonder. He was an solid mix of me and Sam. He had my face, Sam's eyes, dirty blond hair in my style though. He was technically the definition of a geek or a nerd, but most definitely rebellious and loved his meats. His response was like Sam's, Mama loves her ham. But his was Papa loves his ham. He defended himself easily, and no one ever picked on his nerdish ways. I love my son dearly.
Me and Sam had him at the age of 16 and that was a joy, as if adults didn't hate Sam enough! And that it got worse when I accidently let it slip that I was the father. That was so fun when my mom found out. Oh yes, quite the joy.
We got married at the age of 18 because of our 2 year old son Robert Samuel Benson. I never got my full experience of college, I had some night classes, but soon dropped out when I realized I knew everything anyways. Little Robby walked in the room and answered:
"Yeah Dad."
"Why don't you go over a friend's house."
"Why?"
"I'll tell you later."
"Okay then? Can I go over Katie's house!"
"Ah, there's a girl is there."
Robby turned beat red and stuttered. "N-no. I mean we, we um we're just friends!"
"Whatever you say, have fun Robby, I'll pick you up when I get home."
"Okay Dad." My 8 year old son answered as he ran out the door.
I ran to my car and drove to the Police station. I saw Melanie's car but not Sam's.
I barged into the police station. Where Carly, Spencer, and Melanie were all crying.
"What'd Sam do? How much money to bail her out?"
"Freddie, Sam's not in jail."
"Then what's going on! I'm her husband I have a right to know!"
A police officer walked over at that moment.
"Are you Fredward Benson, Samantha Puckett-Benson's husband."
"Yes sir."
"My apologies for the loss sir."
"What loss? What's going on? Where's my meat loving Sam!"
"Come with me Mr. Benson."
I followed the officer into another room.
"Mr. Benson, I think it's best that the witness tell you. Officer Brown could you please bring Melanie Puckett into room 26." The officer said into his walkie talkie thingy. "Of course." Was the response. Soon Melanie was led into the room. Still crying.
"Ms. Puckett, please tell Mr. Benson what happened."
"We were on our way back from Groovy Smoothie, I was in my car behind Sam. I remember driving and Sammy calling. Screaming how her life was no good and she had to end it before it got worse. Freddie I shouldn't tell you this but, when I asked why she was going to kill herself, she said she can't put up with you or Robby anymore that you were a son of a ***** and that she couldn't take it anymore. Freddie she crashed into a tree and something flammable was there and it caught on fire and not even the car made it out."
He sat in silence.
"Freddie. Earth to Freddie."
"No." A quiet whisper.
"Freddie she literally crashed and burned."
"No she's not. She can't be gone. Not my Sam. Not her. Not the love of my life, NOT MY LIFE! SHE'S GONE! MY WHOLE LIFE OTHER THAN ROBBY IS GONE!OH MY GOD! OHMYGOD!" I was screaming and crying. I fell to the ground. My head hit the table, and everything went black.
After so many years of Sam. We got this strange connection in the head. Like if one of us thought something really hard. Cleared everything but what we wanted our spouse to hear, the other heard it. So when I was out to everyone else, I heard Sam.
Whoa connection works all the way to Heaven.
"Freddie, HELP!" I heard.
"Sam, how is it heaven? Are you in pain? Did you really kill yourself?"
"I'M NOT IN HEAVEN! YES I'M IN PAIN! AND I'M NOT EVEN DEAD!"
"Sam, what's going on!"
"I-" But then she was cut off, when I saw a bright light. I mentally started freaking out. But then saw I was in the hospital. A girl was at my side.
"Sam!"
"No Freddie, I'm Melanie."
"Oh." I said very obviously disappointed.
"Cheer up Freddie, now we can be together."
"I DON'T WANT YOU MELANIE! I WANT SAM! I DON'T CARE IF SHE'S DEAD I WILL NEVER STOP LOVING HER! SHE'S MY ONE AND ONLY!"
"Freddie, Sam is gone. And Robby needs a mom. He's too young to have to put up with the pain of what happened to Sammy, and since I look like her, maybe we could pretend that I'm Sam?"
"Nobody could pull of the awesomeness of Sam. Just because you look like her does not mean you can be Sam. Robby would know the difference."
"Think about Robby here. He needs a mom, and probably wouldn't do so well with the pain."
"But I love Sam. He would notice when I don't show any sort of love to you."
"Then show love to me."
"NO!"
"Freddie calm down."
"Get out."
"Fine. Either pretend I'm Sam, or put up with you and your little boy in sorrow and misery for the rest of his life. He'll be exactly like Sam. Super violent, rude, mean, and end up killing himself. I don't know what you saw in her. But I know that will be what will happen."
"DON'T YOU TALK LIKE THAT ABOUT MY WIFE!"
"SHE'S NOT YOUR WIFE ANYMORE! SHE'S DEAD! GET OVER IT!"
And I cried. More than I have ever cried. Then I stopped crying. I automatically silenced. "Get out. Now." I hissed at Melanie and she left quickly. Sam is not dead. There is not one possible way. She loved her life. Unless she was a great actor. She would never be shallow enough to at least not like her son that she loves.
"Right you are Freddi-o"
"Sam?"
"Yep. Now seriously help me."
"Where are you? What's going on? Most importantly, are you okay?"
"I'm in an old shack by that lake." (A/N I don't know anything about Seattle. So the lake is fake.)
"Willion's lake?"
"Yep, owned by William Willion."
"What happened?"
"Wouldn't this be easier on a phone?"
"You have to call my cell."
"I know."
"Sam are you hurt at all, are you okay?"
"I'm fine right now. But when she comes back."
"Who?"
"I'll call you later. She's coming. Can't like think talk to you with her staring at me. You know what my face looks like when we have these conversations."
"You look like your giving birth to Robby."
"Hey he was a big baby."
"Yep."
"Bye Freddie."
"I love you Sam."
There was no response. Carly walked in asking if I was okay. I was smiling like a mad idiot. My Sam was alive. She was alive.
"Uh Freddie, no offense, but you look happy for someone whose wife just crashed and burned."
"Carly! She's alive!"
"No she's not. I'm sorry Freddie. The best way to move on is not to pretend she is alive."
"But Carly she is! I can feel it!"
"No she isn't"
"Fine don't believe me! BUT IS THERE PROOF THAT SHE'S DEAD!"
"Well, sorta. Her sister, Melanie saw what happened. I don't think a sister or anyone would be as cruel as to lie and say someone was dead."
"Fine Carly! She's dead! When's the funeral! God!"
"Well then. It's today since you were knocked out cold for several days."
"Oh."
So after several hours the doctors were done and he left to Sam's funeral.
*Flashback over*(AN long flashback)
The priest called me up to speak. I knew Sam was alive, but everyone thought I kept thinking that so I wouldn't feel the pain. So I just went along with it. I slowly walked up to the podium.
"Hello everyone." I said into the mike. "Thank you for coming. To mourn the death of my beautiful wife, and to celebrate her life. It was tragic what happened, it not being her time. But forever she will be in our hearts. We know that she will live on her full life in our hearts.
"I've known Sam since I was quite young. And up til several days ago has been putting me through pain no one can imagine except the ones who saw me go through it.
"She beat me up all the time. She caused me emotional pain also especially in our relationship. But when she told me she loved me, there was no way any fight we had could break us apart.
"I remember asking her out and our first date like it was yesterday.
"If none of you mind a lot of me talking and you listening, could I tell you guys some memories of Sam and I? Of her life?" I looked into the crowd and since I didn't see anyone objecting, so I went on.
So how was it? The next chapter is going to be a lot of flashbacks. Him going through a lot of stuff with her. And yeah. Please review. Something I left out in the trailer. There will be a bomb and guns. Just so ya know.
