"Sam! I know what you're doing and it isn't going to work!" Carly tried to stand her ground while Sam was pulling her.
"I'm taking you to my soon to be house!" Sam protested.
"No. He's a doctor for crying out loud. He will be able to tell something is wrong. Plus didn't you tell him we weren't feeling well?" Sam rolled her eyes at Carly's ignorance.
"He's sending a driver." Carly opened her mouth to speak but thought better of it. "I promise." Sam gently comforted.
"Okay." Carly whispered.
"Now come along kid. His car is out front." Sam stated, pulling Carly out of the bathroom.

Later that night
"What's up with you and Carly?" Freddie questioned. Sam pursed her lips and turned away from Carly's door.
"The usual." Sam let the words roll across her tongue. 'The usual' -her and Carly never did anything usual. For the best liar she knows, that was a pretty dumb lie.
"Aaand. What is 'the usual'?" Freddie asked stepping closer to Sam.
"You know… talking?" Sam asked to answer Freddie.
"About?"
"Boys." That was the truth. They were constantly talking about the boys who raped Carly. Freddie's mouth formed an O and he rolled his eyes clearly not buying it.
"Sam, what's up with you guys?" Sam sighed.
"Carly was raped." Sam whispered. Just then Carly came down the steps.
"I told you not to tell Sam." Carly turned and ran up the steps, crying.
"So you're serious?" Freddie asked. Sam frowned and shook her head.
"No, nooooo. I'm not serious. I would totally make up a story about Carly, my best friend, getting raped only to annoy you."
"I can't belive you would say something like this. This reminds me of the Melanie thing…" Freddie trailed off.
"You idiot! Carly was raped!" Sam yelled only lowering her voice at the word raped. "Now I gotta go." Instead of leaving Sam went up the stairs.
"I'm sorry Carls. I didn't mean to. I swear, but Freddie won't tell a soul."
"Just go away." Carly shouted into her pillow.
"He won't treat you any different." Carly sighed.
"I'm scared. I don't know what to do. I didn't want you to tell Freddie because he's too good not to tell and get me help."
"Carly, remember when I told you about my parents?" Carly nodded her head signaling Sam to go on. "Well my dad, before he left would come in me and Mel's room after arguing and tell us one word. Persevere. Mel and I would chant that with him in a group hug. 'Persevere, persevere, persevere.' It gave us hope. One day when the fighting was bad, my dad left. 'I'm coming back Pam!' he yelled. He never showed up. So that night me and Mel were in her bed chanting but he never showed up. I write that word every night. A fatherless world is not cool. It keeps my spark alive to this day." Sam was crying by the end of her speech. "I'll be with you every step of the way, I swear." The girls embraced in a long hug.
This is short and rushed I know that. Next chapter some wonderful drama will unfold, I just had to get this out of the way. My last chapter was written on my phone, so that's why there are waaay more mistakes than there usually is. Please review. I'm begging you. (That wasn't supposed to rhyme.)
