Thanks for all the reviews! :)

A knock on Sam's hotel door woke her up. She groaned, wanting nothing more than to go back to sleep, but dragged herself out of bed. She opened the door that adjoined her room to Julian's first, but Julian wasn't at the door. In fact, he wasn't even in his room.

Sam sighed. It wasn't like him to leave without saying anything to her. He was still angry. She hated it when he got mad at her. She loved her dad so much, and they'd always had a special bond. He rarely got mad at her, but when he did, he was really angry.

Another knock confirmed that the person who had the audacity to wake Sam up before noon was at the other door. Sam assumed it was the hotel maids and stormed over to the door ready to chew them out for waking her up. She was surprised when she opened the door and saw Sean standing there with a bouquet of flowers.

"Hey," Sam said with a smile.

"How are you feeling?" Sean asked. He handed her the flowers.

"Thanks," Sam said as she accepted them. She invited him in and they sat down on her bed. "I'm fine."

"I was scared when you couldn't breath," Sean admitted. "Are you sure you're OK?"

"Yeah," Sam replied.

"Good. Then we can go on that date you owe me tonight," Sean said with a smirk.

"My dad's barely speaking to me so it would be nice to hang out with someone who isn't pissed at me," Sam said.

"I guess that means your plan backfired," Sean said.

"That's an understatement," Sam said with a hint of sarcasm. "This date is going to have to be pretty good to cheer me up." She smiled to let him know she was kidding.

"Do you have a fake ID?" Sean asked.

Sam smirked. "Of course."

Sam received a text message from Sean telling her to meet him at an address. The address was a dive bar. Sean was waiting for Sam at the bar. He was wearing a plain black shirt and jeans that clung to his perfectly toned body in all the right places. Sam was wearing a white shirt, a black vest, dark wash jeans and Converse shoes. She pulled him into a hug and then sat down beside him. They ordered beers and then started playing pool.

Sam smirked when Sean put his arms around her and showed her how to hold the pool cue and aim it. She surprised him by calling a ball and which pocket she was aiming for and then shooting it expertly into the intended pocket.

"You know how to play," Sean said.

"I was raised by a guy. I learned how to play pool and poker instead of how do hair and make-up," Sam said with a smirk.

Sean chuckled. "OK. What do you say we make this interesting?"

Sam raised her eyebrows. "How would we do that?"

They made a bet that whoever won chose their next activity. They'd been playing for about an hour, but they wouldn't finish their game.

"Samantha Baker!"

Sam would recognize that voice anywhere. She looked up and saw Peyton glaring at her. "Peyton! What are you doing here?" Sam asked.

"Meeting one of the artists on my label. I would ask what you're doing here, but it's pretty obvious," Peyton said angrily, her eyes zeroing in on the beer in Sam's hands. "Where's your fake ID?"

Sam sighed and produced the ID she'd stolen from Brooke's purse earlier that day.

Peyton glanced at it and smirked. She knew firsthand how pissed off Brooke got when you stole things from her. "I'm going to talk to my artist. You're going to stay here and you won't be drinking. I'll take you home after my meeting."

"OK," Sam mumbled.

Brooke and Julian were enjoying their first evening alone since Sam's arrival. They'd decided to stay in. They were sitting on her couch talking and drinking wine.

"Did you mean what you said to Sam yesterday in the hospital?" Brooke asked. Her eyes were filled with fear. She needed to know the answer, but at the same time she was dreading hearing it. It was hard for her to open her heart to people. She'd been hurt too many times.

Julian looked into Brooke's eyes. She didn't need to explain. He knew what she wanted to know. "Yes. I love you, Brooke Davis."

"Julian, it's only been two weeks!" Brooke cried out. She saw a flicker of pain in Julian's eyes. She didn't want to hurt him, but she had to protect herself from getting hurt.

"I know and it's OK if you can't say it back," Julian said. His voice was laced with pain.

Brooke took Julian's hands. "You're a great guy, and a great boyfriend. I really like you." She leaned in and kissed him. They started making out on the couch. They were interrupted by a knock on the door. Brooke adjusted her top and ran a hand through her tousled hair before answering the door. Julian appeared behind her, scrambling to button his shirt.

"OK, this is awkward," Peyton said. She looked at Brooke. "I have something that belongs to you." She handed Brooke's ID over and then shifted her gaze to Julian. "And something that belongs to you." She grabbed Sam's arm and pulled the teen into Julian's line of vision.

Brooke stared at Sam with a look of fury on her face. "Unbelievable!"

"Stealing and drinking, Sam. Really?" Julian said. He didn't raise his voice. He didn't need to. The disappointment in his tone made Sam feel worse than screaming would have.

"I'm gonna go," Peyton said. She pulled Sam in for a hug before leaving.

Julian apologized to Brooke and took Sam back to the hotel. He needed to talk to his daughter alone. "What's going on with you?" He asked.

Sam shrugged. "I just wanted to have a little fun."

"I don't just mean the drinking. Stealing, sneaking around, lying. You've never lied to me before, and you lied to my face. I can't trust you anymore," Julian said. His eyes were filled with sadness and disappointment.

"I know. It was stupid. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry!" Sam said. Her voice was thick with tears.

"You're going to apologize to Brooke and work in her store tomorrow to make up for stealing her ID," Julian said sternly.

Sam hated the idea of being at Brooke's mercy for the day, but she knew arguing would make her dad even angrier so she nodded. "OK."

Sam is going to stay out all night with Michael. Victoria and Brooke are going to freak out.
