I do not own the characters I only own Sabrina. Also thank you to all that have faved this story and reviewed it.
Chapter 2: Does Sam seem different?
After Sam said he did not want to talk about what had happen to him. Sabbie did not care, she was just so happy to have her big brother back. She was finally going home.
The local police questioned Sam about his whereabouts and Sam said he had to quickly get away to get a taste of freedom. It was a spur of the moment decision and he forgot to call home. Sam was basically warned and told he was given full custody of Sabbie. (Yeah!)
To me, Sam seemed different. He was suddenly ripped, Old Ouil gave him this old style tattoo, and worst was he cut off his hair. It was short and spiky now. Other than that, he still acted the same towards me but it felt like he was holding something back. For example, when he was driving me home after picking me up from the Clearwater's' place I asked him why it felt like he had a fever. His response was 'I'm fine let's leave it like that'.
I was still going to school with Leah. At lunch she told me about the party she was going to throw for Sammy's return and how it was going to be a BBQ. She mentioned that Emily was going to be there. I was invited too and it was going to be this weekend. She wanted me to tell Sam about it and get him to come. In my opinion, Leah and Sam belong together. She truly loves him. I hope he pops the question soon.
At home, I told Sam about the BBQ and he did not look pleased. In fact it looked like he was depressed about the idea. Of course, I kept begging him throughout the night until he finally came around to it. As soon as he said ok, I quickly texted Leah that he was coming.
The Dinner Party or Not?
Sam drove the two of us to the Clearwater's home for the informal BBQ dinner party. Sam and I went to the door and knocked. Leah opened the door and was happy be on belief. To me it seems as if she threw herself at Sam but who am I to judge. Leah hugged me and then led the three of us to the backyard.
Leah had just introduced Sam to Emily. Sam just took one look at Emily became speechless (a first for me). I just snapped my fingers at Sam and he spooked out of it. Sam mumbled "we have to go". I just stared at him. I told Sam that we just got there. Sam did not listen to me but instead grabbed my shoulder and dragged me to the car. I was able to shout a quick goodbye and cya yeah. Sam quickly put me in the car and he drove us home (party pooper).
During the car ride, I try to question Sam about his behavior. He told me I would not understand and to drop it. I wonder if his attitude is affected by his temperature. He still has a fever but he keeps saying that "I'm fine and to stop asking about it". I also asked while we left the party before it even began and Sam said he felt bad still about hurting Leah when he was gone but he was not going to go into details about his disappearance with me.
As soon as we got home, Sam bolted out of the house. He does not know it but I saw him go into the woods. Time to start bugging him about that. He told me to do my homework and then go to bed. As if. It was Friday night. I quickly did my homework so I would not have to worry about it and then stayed up late watching movies till I fell asleep on the couch around eleven. Sam must have return after that because the next day I woke up in my bed.
Stalker Sammy?
I later learned that Sammy had returned to the Clearwater's house and dumped Leah (without a good explanation in my opinion). I was sad about this because I thought that Leah was the one for Sam and an older sister for me. Leah is still a close friend for me and a motherly figure too. Rumors have it Sam is going after Leah's cousin, Emily. She is an ok person but I could never steal a man from someone, especially from a family member. Of course this became the talk of the town and I was stuck in the middle. People were tried to get me to talk about what broke them up. It was driving me crazy.
Anyway after school and whatever the hell he does, Sammy would make dinner for the two of us. I kept up the asking him about his 'job' but Sam would turn the conversation around on me. He would also forbid me from asking about his job or where he went. For example, he would ask about school, my friends (Kim, Monique, and Bonnie), and the clubs I was involved in (yearbook, glee, and honor society). After eating it was the same thing: "go do your homework, go to bed, and I'll be back before you get up". Whatever he was doing was taking the toll out of him. It looked like he was barely getting any sleep wherever he slept.
At school the following Monday after Leah and Sam split, Leah sat down across from me with sad eyes.
"Hey Sabbie. I just want you to know just because Sam dumped me does not mean that we cannot still be friends and hang out. How about this Friday you come over and we will have a sleep over? We can watch movies, have popcorn and coco, and have fun torturing Seth!" Leah looked with pleading eyes towards Sabbie. Ever since the breakup, Leah was in her room crying with her parents not doing anything to help. Seth was driving her crazy and she wanted to get even.
"I'll ask tonight and let you know. I highly doubt that Sam would let me go. You know, ever since he got back he has changed. For example his body is suddenly ripped. He walks around only in cutoff shorts without a shirt. Whenever Sam touches me feels like he has a fever. He goes into the woods at all hours of the day. The only time I see him is dinner time. Leah I'm worried about him. He is not the same. Every time I try to ask questions he changes the subject. I do not know what to do."
"Yeah that is wired of him. Hopefully, Sam will come around to his senses. So… on a brighter note …What are you hoping you get for your birthday?" Leah said in the hope of getting some ideas.
"I only want two things. First, Sam to apologies for the trouble he put our Mom and me through. Second, to find out what is going on with Sammy even… if it kills me".
