Chapter 6: Social Services

"Sam." said Brooke walking into Jamie's room.

She say Quinn hugging Sam and she could see that Sam had been crying. Brooke was a little envious that Sam couldn't talk to her as easy as she could with Quinn but Brooke knew the reason. Sam needed some time to figure out for herself that Brooke was not like her father or her mother. Brooke was going to be there for her no matter what and she would not leave her and would never ever let anyone hurt Sam again. She made a silent promise to herself. She was going to help Sam get better and never let anyone hurt her like this again no matter who they are.

Sam looked up at Brooke and wiped her tears away. Brooke went over and knelt by Sam. She pushed Sam's hair out of her face and behind her ear.

"You okay?" she asked worriedly.

"Yeah." replied Sam honestly.

" we have to go to social services now." said Brooke, "You ready?"

Of course she wasn't ready. How could she be ready to possibly be taken away. and put into a home with people that she didn't even know or worse her mother. Sam knew that Victoria was going to be there. She had to be. She was Sam's biological mother. She legally had all standing on Sam and could easily say that she wanted to take care of her although Sam was sure going to give her hell about it. She hated Victoria for just letting her dad have her without a fight. But a part of her was glad because her dad was once the best person in the world to her and that's what was making her so damn confused. She was torn between the father she had loved and the one that had hurt her so badly.

"As ready as I'll ever be." said Sam standing up.

Quinn stood up to and gave Sam anoher hug.

"Call me and tell me what they say." said Quinn.

"I will." promised Sam.

Sam and Brooke went to the kitchen and said goodbye to Haley and Jamie. Jamie was really sad that Sam had to leave but Brooke promised that they would come over for dinner. After saying their goodbye's Brooke and Sam got in car and drove to social services.

"Do you think they will let me stay with you?" asked Sam as Brooke drove.

"I think that there is a good chance because it depends on financial status and the fact that I'm related and that you want to stay with me. So I really think that you will get to stay with me." said Brooke.

"I hope so. I don't want to go with mom or a stranger. I like it in Tree Hill." said Sam.

"I know Sam. We just have to see what happens and hope for the best. But I can promise you this. I will fight for you Sam no matter what. I'm going to make sure that you get to stay with me no matter what. I promise." said Brooke, "Just trust me okay."

"Dad said to trust him." whispered Sam in a low voice but Brooke heard her.

Brooke sighed. She didn't understand why Sam couldn't just trust her. She wasn't going to hurt her. She understood but it hurt because even though Sam had only been with her for two days and yet she cared so much about her.

"I'm not him Sam." she murmured.

"I know." replied Sam.

When they got to Social Services Sam was practically shaking. She was so scared. Brooke could see that and reached for Sam's hand. Sam looked at her. Brooke gave a small smile. Sam smiled back and got out of the car. She took a deep breathe and took in the fresh air. Brooke came next to her and Sam held her hand. Brooke looked at her but kept her eyes strait forward. Both of them walked inside. There were people everywhere and a few kids. They walked up to the receptionist.

"Name.." said the receptionist not looking up from her computer.

"Brooke Davis. I have an appointment with Samantha Walker's social worker." said Brooke Davis.

"You'll have to sign these." said the receptionist giving Brooke a large stack of paper, "Samantha can go in and wait."

Sam looked at Brooke for approval. She really didn't want to go in alone.

"It will be okay Sam. Just go I will be there in a minute. Just tell the truth." said Brooke.

"Okay." said Sam.

Sam walked down the hall into a room. It had four big bookcases that covered most of the wall. There was a long table in the middle of the room. A woman sat in the middle with a bunch of paper work and another woman sitting next to her. Sam knew who both woman were. Her social worker...and her mother. She wanted to go over and slap Victoria but she knew that it wasn't the right thing to do. She had more self control then that and she was going to let her "mom" have a piece of her mid one way or another.

"Hello Samantha." said her social worker, "Please come and sit."

Sam looked back and saw Brooke with the paper work. She knew that she was nowhere almost done but she couldn't wait for her. She went and sat at the table wishing Brooke would hurry up because the room was so tense. Victoria just looked at her. She didn't say a word. She looked ashamed and Sam was glad because she should be. Anyone who gives away their child should be ashamed of themselves because it's not right.

"So Sam do you want to tell me why you ran away?" asked her social worker.

"I want to wait for Brooke." said Sam.

"Sam we need to get this going. We can't wait forever." said her mom speaking for the first time.

"I can wait." said Sam

Victoria sighed, obviously frustrated at her stubbornness. Sam silently congratulated herself for finding the right buttons to push. So Victoria crosed her arms and they all waited for Brooke to come in the room. Sam needed Brooke for moral support. Soon enough Brooke walked into the room and took a seat beside Sam.

"So we can begin now." said her social worker

"Yup" said Sam.

"Samantha...." said Victoria.

"Bitch." remarked Sam.

"SAM!!" warned Brooke.

Sam just looked away. She knew that she would hear something about what she had said later but she didn't care. She hated Victoria. She would always hate Victoria and nothing was ever going to change that. Not even Brooke.

"So can you tell us why you ran away?" asked the social worker again.

Sam looked at Brooke and she shook her head and held her hand. Sam squeezed it tight and took a deep breath preparing herself to repeat her story again.

"My Dad used to hit me and he was had gotten drunk that night and he pushed me on the floor. He kicked me and yelled because he said I was worthless. He dropped his drink and I saw the opening. I knew that I had to get away so I ran to my room and locked the door. I opened my window and ran out. I ran to my best friends house. She only lived a few houses away and she always helped me when Dad had hid moments. When I got there I threw up because of the stress. My friends mom found out that Dad had hit me again and shewanted to call the cops but dad would hurt her. Dad had connections. He knew people that could kill for him and he reminded me everyday. He said eventually that I would be next. He was getting tired of me. I pleaded for her not to call but she said that she cared about me and couldn't let him hurt me any longer," said Sam, "That's when he was banging on their door. Maddie's dad got a bat out of the closet and her mom called the cops. I was scared but her dad told us to run to her room so we could be safe. I fought but Maddie's mom made me go. I heard the cops coming and then there was a bang. We all went downstares and Maddie's mom tried to stop me. She didn't want me to see but I had to. Dad was on the floor. He had the gun in his hand. He had shot himself. I didn't want to go to a home and I knew where Brooke lived so I decided to go and look for her."

Sam had tears running down her cheeks. Brooke hugged her tight. Sam was still in pain and winced. Brooke lightened up her hold because she knew that Sam was hurting. The bruises from that night were still there and they were both physical and emotional. Sam's social worker was shocked by Sam's painful story. But good old Bitchtoria just sat there with no emotion on her face. She didn't seemed phased in the least bit. Brooke literally wanted to slap her.

"Sam it's okay." reassured Brooke ignoring the social worker and her mother and only focussing on Sam," He can't hurt you. No one will ever hurt you like that ever again. I swear."

Sam began to calm down. She wiped her tears and Brooke rubbed her back.

"So Sam is it okay if we continue?" asked the social worker.

Sam shook her head yes and the social worker continued.

"Sam did you ever tell anyone?" she asked.

"I told Maddie and her family but no one else because I knew Dad would hurt them and I was planning on running away anyway so I just had to stick it out a little longer. I was saving money for it and everything. I knew I couldn't go to the police . They wouldn't believe me. They would take Dad's side no matter what he did in the past." explained Sam.

"Sam why didn't you go to find your mother? Why did you go to Tree Hill?"

"Because Victoria isn't my mother. She gave me away and never even called me. She wasn't there for 15 years and and she knew about me. Brooke didn't know and when she found out that I was her sister she helped me. She took me into her home and listened to me. She believed me. I knew Victoria would not." said Sam.

The social worker looked at her papers who stuff down and closed her notebook. She then folded her hands over the papers and looked up at Sam.

"Sam we are going to have to schedule another appointment so that I can ask you questions individually. But for now I need to know one thing. Both your sister and Mother have good incomes and stable homes but each of them to explain why you should stay with them. So Victoria you may go first." said the social worker.

"Samantha I am your mother and I know what is best for you. I know that I gave you away and I am sorry for hat. You have to know that I do regret it everyday. I should have been there for you and I know that. You have to give me another chance though. I know you probably don't want to but everyone makes mistakes." said Victoria.

Sam just looked at her not believing anything that had just came out of her mouth. She wasn't going to forgive Victoria until she felt like it not when Victoria wanted her to. She just shook her head to show that she was listening.

"Okay Brooke it's your turn." said the social worker.

"Sam knows that I am going to look out for her and I'm not going to try to persuade her to stay with me. But I am going to say this. Victoria you were never there when I was a kid either you merely gave me a credit card when I wanted something. I had to grow up alone and I am not going to let Sam have to endure that. She has been through enough already. Victoria cares more about a company that isn't even hers than her own children." said Brooke.

"That isn't true." snapped Victoria.

"Yes it is. If it isn't than where were you when it was my birthday or Sam's for that matter?"

"I was busy Brooke. And you don't need me there on your birthday. You are not two years old!"

"You weren't even there when I was two!" Because like I said work is always more impirtant!!" yelled Brooke.

"Okay I think we heard enough. Now Sam its your turn. I need to know where you want to stay."said the social worker.

Sam looked between Brooke and Victoria. She knew that the decision wasn't tough at all. She didn't even need to think about it. Her answer was most definetly.....

"Brooke." said Sam, "I want to stay with my sister."

"Wait!! Don't I have any say in this. I am her mother I have legal rights to her." yelled Victoria.

"No you don't. You gave all rights away when you signed custody over to your husband." said the social worker, "Okay well Sam, Brooke, were going to make an appointment in a month to check how everything is going and I will be asking Sam some more questions."

"Okay " said Sam.

The social worker pulled out a paper and Brooke had to sign it. Sam smile. Then they all stood up and Brooke and Sam shook the social workers hand.

"Thank you." said Sam.

"No problem. I hope that everything goes good for you." said the social worker.

Sam and Brooke left the social services and walked to the car.

"Sam!!" yelled Victoria.

Sam and Brooke turned as Victoria walked towards them. Brooke stood in front of Sam.

"Get in the car Sam." said Brooke.

Sam did as Brooke said and got in the car watching as Brooke and Victoria began to talk.

"She doesn't want to talk to you." said Brooke.

"I'm her mother." said Victoria.

"If you ever want her to talk to you then you need to give her space." said Brooke.

Brooke walked away leaving Victoria to think about what Brooke had said and the things that she had done to Sam. It was her fault that Brooke and Sam didn't know eachother and that Sam was hurt. She would have to live with her poor decisions for life.

(In the car..)

Sam looked out the window. She had her headphones in her ear. She was happy that she got to go with Brooke. And that she finally faced her mom. Brooke tapped Sam's shoulder and Sam took out one of her headphones.

"So how do you feel?" asked Brooke.

"Mixed emotions. I'm happy, sad, scared, excited, and a whole bunch of stuff. I really hope this all works out. I really want to get to know you and all of the other people in Tree Hill. It's a fun place. But physically I'm tired. I forgot to take my medicine today. Please don't yell at me it was a mistake." said Sam scared of how Brooke was going to react.

"I'm not going to yell at you Sam but you need to promise me that your not going to forget anymore. You can't aford to forget. Your heart condition is serious. Tommmorow we find out what we need to do." said Brooke.

"I promise." said Sam.

"I'm going to help you with this I promise." said Brooke.

"Okay." said Sam.

Brooke looked back towards the road as they continued to drive home. When they got there Brooke made sure that Sam went and took her medicine. She had to make sure that Sam was okay. She didn't want to lose Sam ever. When Sam was done Brooke made them some lunch. They sat and ate together.

"It's good." said Sam.

"Thanks." said Brooke.

"No thank you." said Sam.

"For what?" asked Brooke.

"For sticking up for me with Victoria and caring and worrying about me. It means a lot."

"You don't have thank me for that Sam. It's my job. I'm your big sister and I would do it either way." said Brooke.

"I know but not everyone would. Our own mother didn't."

"Because Mom is crazy. Sam if I had known that you existed I wouldn't have let mom give you away. You know that right?"

"I know."said Sam.
