A/N-I know that this isn't my best chapter, but maybe you readers will like it. Enjoy!!!


Brett and Sam walked up the stairs and walk into Brett's room. Brett locked the door and Sam looked at him funny.

"Brett, what are you doing?"

Brett walked over to Sam and pushed her against the wall.

"We're playing a game Sammy, remember?"

"I don't like this game."

Sam tried to walk away, but Brett grabbed her by the arm and threw her on the bed.

"This is my game. I know you want me," Brett says as he hovers over Sam.

"Let the fun begin," Brett says as he forces Sam to kiss him.


Sam woke up and slammed her hand down on her alarm clock.

"Fucking nightmares," Sam says as she drags her hands through her unruly hair.

A knock on the door made Sam get up to answer it. Brooke peeked her head in through the door.

"Get ready for school, breakfast is on the table."

Sam rolls her eyes and steps out of her room.

"I can't believe vacation is already over," Sam frowns.

"A week wasn't that long to begin with Sam."

Sam nods her head and starts eating her cereal.

"By the way you left your phone on the table and you got a text," Brooke says as she hands her daughter her phone.

Sam flipped open her phone and read the text message. She had a couple of them.

Hey, I'm coming to Tree Hill in like a week. Totally need to hang xoxox Jack

Sam smiles and reads the next text.

Sampson, got your message, been busy call me later and we'll talk-Julian

Sam looks at Brooke and back down on her phone.

I'll see you soon Sammy-Brett

Sam closes her phone and slams it down on the table. Brooke looks at her questioningly.

"What?!" Sam yells.

"Hey, that wasn't called for," Brooke scolds.

"Sorry, bad morning."

Brooke nods her head and takes a sip of her coffee.

"Do you need me to drive you to school or are you going to walk?"

"I'll walk," Sam says as she puts her bowl in the sink.

"You better get ready or you will be late for school," Brooke says as she glances at the clock.

"We can't have that now, can we?" Sam states sarcastically before entering her room.

Brooke smiles and turns back to her paper.


Sam goes into her room to change for school. Once she finished with that she told Brooke goodbye and started walking to school. She put in her iPod to block out the images in her head.

Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just talk
Smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
She goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
And you begin to wonder why you came
Once Sam enters the school she heads straight to her locker where she is met by her friend Tina.

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

"Hey, how was your break?" Tina asks as Sam shuts her locker.

"Pretty good, slept a lot, but other than that it was fine."

"Has the adoption been finalized yet?" Tina asks as she and Sam walk to Haley's class.

Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
pray to God he hears you
And pray to god he hears you

and Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

"Not yet, but it should be soon. Brooke's really excited about it."

Tina looks at Sam and smiles.

"You are excited to. Don't lie."

Sam nods her head.

"Okay, I am excited too."

"We should head to class," Tina says as she starts walking towards Haley's room.

As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours, grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

How to save a life (x2)


Sam and Tina take their seats when the bell rings and Haley smiles at everyone.

"I hope you all had a nice break. I for one am glad you all are back."

Sam looks up at Haley with a smirk.

"Your family that boring Mrs. Scott?"

Haley looks at Sam and smirks back.

"If anyone were to know it would be you now wouldn't it Sam."

Sam laughs as does everyone else in class.

"Touché," Sam says with a smile.

Someone walks through the door and once Sam sees his face she instantly pales. A flash of memories comes through her mind.

"Brett stop it hurts."

"It will get better."

"Didn't you like the game Sammy," Brett said after he was done.

Sam didn't say a word. She just cried.

"Okay, Brett Zimmer, there's a seat next to Sam," Haley says as she points it out. Brett looks over at Sam and smirks.

Brett walks over to Sam and whispers…

"I told you I would see you Sammy."

Sam starts to shake and she looks at Haley who looks concerned. Sam's eyes roll in the back of her head and she falls off of her chair.

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life (x2)
