*I do not own the people just the plot

Jake woke up and stretched. He had had a very weird dream. He'd dreamed that Sam was blaming herself for Grace's death. Why would Sam do that?

He was eating breakfast with his own family today, but he couldn't concentrate very well on eating and thinking in depth. He hardly heard his dad say, "Jake, earth to Jake." All Jake did in replie was, "Yeah dad." Then still thinking hard he rode witch over to the Forster's. He was nearly there when he heard a sound that startled him. The phantom? "Blackie, what are you doing here boy? Did you go to visit Sam and all she did was act like a zombie?" The phantom snorted in response. "I think we need to cheer her up or something." The Phantom pawed the ground. "I'll tell you what Blackie, I'll find out what the problem is and get back to you. Is that okay by you?" The former Blackie snorted and the glopped off. Jake clucked to Witch and then galloped off to River bends.

Ten minutes later.

"Hey Brat." "Go away I don't want to talk to you." "Well then listen." Sam turned and watched him, "This had better be good." "I had this weird feeling that you feel like you caused your Grams death," Jake saw Sam wince, "But Sam you didn't." "Yes I did! She got in front of a bull that was charging at me and I'm the one that made her get killed." A tear ran down Sam's already tear streaked face. She sniffed back a sob. "Sam, Grace would have done that for anyone." "So?" Jake saw that Sam was about to cry. Then before Jake knew what he was doing he grabbed Sam and held her and let her cry into his shirt. Sometimes he would hear her say stuff but couldn't understand it. He knew it didn't matter to her, all she wanted to do right now was cry. There was one thing however that Jake did understand, "Why did she d-do that Jake? Wh-why?" Jake just pulled Sam closer and, whispered, "I don't know Brat. I really don't know." Pepper walked in the bran and saw Jake and Sam hugging. He raised his eyebrows at Jake, and got a mouthed, "She's crying," From Jake. Pepper nodded to show he understood and then backed out of the barn.

Man, thought Jake, I wish we could do this without the tears. Sam started hiccuping like she did after she's been crying too hard. For some reason she found that funny and started to laugh. After a while she quit laughing and lean up against Jake. Why in the world was she laughing like that? "Sam you okay?" "Yeah why?" "Well lets see you were crying like crazy and then you started laughing like a maniac. "Oh." "Sam will you go eat something? Please? I do not want you to starve to death." "But I would be the one dead if Gram hadn't jumped in front of the bull." "Yes and she jumped in front of the bull because she wanted you alive." Sam hadn't thought of that before. She suddenly felt way better. "Thanks Jake." Jake just grunted. Now all he had to do was find out a way to tell her that he liked her. He wasn't getting any brilliant ideas. Then something clicked. After eating they would go on a ride.

Sam's POV

Sam was walking to the barn, when she heard Jake say, "Hey Brat." "Go away I don't want to talk to you." Sam was annoyed at Jake for siding with Bryana and Wyatt, and didn't want to hear him say that she needed to eat. "Then listen." That kind of caught her off guard. She spun around to listen, "This had better be good." The other message was, 'If you tell me to eat more food I'm gonna kill you.' "Look Sam, I have the weird feeling that you think you caused your Gram's death." Sam winced, She knew she had. "But you didn't." That surprised Sam. Anyone could tell that she had caused it. How could he stand there and say she didn't? "Yes I did! She got in front of a bull that was charging for me! I'm the one that made her get killed!" Sam felt a tear running down her face. Her face was still tear streaked from the past two days. She hadn't wanted to take care of herself then.

"Sam, Grace would have done that for anyone." Not Slocum. "So?" Her bottom lip was trembling. Jake grabbed her and held her. She cried into his strong chest. "How could she do that?" She was sure that Jake wasn't sure what she was saying but she didn't care. "She was my only Gram!" The tears were coming even faster than they had at the funeral. "Why did she d-do that Jake? Wh-why?" She felt his arms tighten around her as he said, "I don't know Brat. I really don't know." She felt safer in his arms then out there walking around. Not only did she keep having nightmares about her Grams death she was now terrified of Bulls. She pulled back from Jake's arms after about 5 minutes and began hiccuping. Then she began laughing. Because she had been so upset about Gram dying, and couldn't quit crying, Jake had held her. She found that rather funny. Jake shot her a funny look. 'Sam are you okay?" "Yeah why?" "Well you were crying like crazy and now you're laughing like a maniac." "Oh" "Sam will you go eat something? Please? I do not want you to starve to death." Sam was hungry, but she wouldn't have admitted that to him. "But I would be the one dead if Gram hadn't stepped in the way of the bull." "Yes and she did that because she wanted you to stay alive." Sam realized that he was right. She wanted to ask him out but didn't know how. Then again it would probably be better for her to find out he liked her. Then she had an idea. She would go raid the fridge and then ask Jake to go on a ride with her.

I guess all clouds do have silver linings, She thought
