Sam sits down outside the store and reads Louise's journal a page had been folded over and a section had been circled.

'he said he wanted to show me in his favourite place in the woods I was so stupid I thought he liked me i went but of course when we get there all he wants is sex how could I be so stupid. I told him no but he didn't listen the next thing i know i was on the floor it was hard and cold he didn't even bring a blanket the first time was over quite quick, that was when his friend came and joined in he slapped me about a bit first. I haven't slept in at least a week I keep thinking I should tell someone but I know they won't believe me or care but I'm a big girl I can take care of myself.'

That's when Sam got a text I'm always here Sam!, you're not alone ly. Sam smiled a little knowing her friend was always there. She walked back into the store.

Brooke: What was that about?

Sam: nothing.

That night Louise walked into Sam's house with DVD's and a box of sweeties, a bag of clothes they watched movies in Sam's bed till late at night.

Louise: are you coming to school tomorrow?

Sam: oh i don't know?

Louise: you can't let him win? Let him dictate your life?

Sam: will you be there?

Louise: the whole way.

Sam: stay tonight?

Louise: of course.

Sam: can i ask you something?

Louise: ehm sure.

Sam: when did this happen.

Louise: 3 months and ten days ago.

Sam: why didn't you tell me?

Louise: I didn't know how.

Louise and Sam wake up to Brooke guys its seven get up.

Sam: ugh.

Louise: Sam up were going to school

Sam: ugh.

...

Sam and Louise are in six period English they are laughing in the back Haley has told them off more than once then she snaps Sam Louise detention, the look at each other and laughs again.

Haley: out my class

Haley has a little smirk on her face slightly happy that Sam seemed happy but a little pissed that they were disrupting her class. Sam and Louise were outside of Haley's class room still laughing at nothing when Haley enters the hall.

Haley: Samantha Louise you know better. (Sam and Louise nod) detention after school in class now.

...

Sam and Louise move down to the front of the class.

Louise: Mrs. Scott can i text my mum tell her I'll be home late?

Haley: sure but I want to talk to yous.

Louise: ehm okay. (Louise says in a snide voice)

Haley: this is what I mean you used to be so dedicated to school and nice all of a sudden you have changed I want to know why?

Louise: just grew up I guess.

Haley: no I don't think so?

Sam: you can tell her.

Louise: SAM.

Sam: sorry you can trust her.

Haley: I might be able to help.

Louise: no it's nothing.

Haley: it is obviously something?

Louise: ehm he said that he just wanted to talk at his favourite place in the woods I was so stupid I thought wow that be a cool thing to do. Of course when we get there all he wants to do is have sex it was over quite quick but that was right before his friend joins in. So it's over now it's in the past so no you can't help.

Haley: louise have you told anyone about this.

Louise: yea Sam.

Haley: is that it?

Louise: yea i don't have anyone in my life to tell.

Haley: your mum? Sister?

Louise: no. They can't know. Promise I'm over it.

Haley: you don't sound it.

Louise: I go to therapy three times a week ill talk to her about it I promise Please.

Haley: I want to know you are going to be okay so I'll check in time to time.

Louise: okay.

Haley: so homework Sam?

Sam: I'm finished you will get it tonight I promise.

Haley: Sam

Sam: you said Friday.

We chose our friends not our family, but some children grow up in a world where a family choose you a world full of disappointment and rejection. A world where they live there life's dreaming of a family of their own.

Brooke enters Tric with Haley and Payton worried about Sam, when at least ninety people turn around and yell surprise. As the night goes on Haley gets up and does a speech not soon after Sam gets up and gives a speech.

Sams voice over/essay/speach: "Some of us grow up in a world where our family chose to give us up, some choose to keep us and resent us for that choice but there are those lucky people who are born into a family full of love! And some of us are accepted into a new family.

Brooke Davis my mum is a well respected fashion designer, great daughter, amazing friend but most importantly she is the best mum and she helped give me a family. The family I have always dreamed of not because of the picket fence or my own room. But because i have two amazing aunts a little cousin and another on the way people who care and listen and see me.

So That Is One Of The Many Reasons I Love My Mum Brooke Davis."

The end.
