A/N- Hey everyone. This chapter marks the first collaboration with Chelsea(samwannabe). Hope you enjoy
A few weeks after her birthday Sam is still in her thoughts, I can't believe Nick brought drugs to my house let alone wanted me to get high with him. Last time I got high I always told myself I wouldn't do it again. Maybe I was wrong.
Sam has always tried her best to stay on top of her school work, but lately it has been really hard. Basketball has becoming her top priority. The thing is, that Brooke's top priority for Sam has always been school first everything else after. Sam's grades have started to slip but she hasn't told her mom because she knows what will happen, no basketball.
-Tree Hill High-
Nick: "Hey Sam"
Sam: "Nick"
Nick: "Are you still mad at me?"
Sam: "Sort of but I have decided not to be because I want have some fun, you know let my hair down a little"
Nick: "I get that feeling sometimes, why do you think I get high?"
Sam: "After school, my house, bring the party favors"
Nick: "I will"
Sam: "Alright"
Nick: "Hey you want to skip next period?"
Sam: "I don't think I could do that Nick"
Nick: "Why not it will be fun"
Sam: "Because my next class is with Haley and she just so happens to be best friends with my mother"
Nick: "I thought you said you wanted to let your hair down"
Sam: "Alright fine, where are we going?"
Nick: "Let's go to the park"
Sam: "OK, let's go"
Sam and Nick left school. What they didn't know was that Mrs. Haley James Scott was watching them leave. Haley looked very disappointed because she never wanted to do what she was about to do.
-Clothes over Bros-
Brooke is putting up clothes on the rack when Julian came in.
Julian: "Hey there"
Brooke: "Hey"
Julian: "So, about tonight?"
Brooke: "You are canceling aren't you?"
Julian: "Yeah, look I have to fly to LA and handle a situation that came up and I didn't want you to think that I stood you up"
Brooke: "Oh well, that's okay, so when do you leave?"
Julian: "Like now"
Brooke: "How long are you going to be gone?"
Julian: "Not sure but when I do I will give you a call"
Brooke: "OK, come here"
Brooke and Julian started kissing. They were interrupted when Brooke's cell phone went off.
Julian: "I will let you get that because I have to go to the airport. I will talk to you soon"
Brooke: "Alright"
Julian leaves and Brooke looks at her caller ID and it is Haley.
Brooke: "Hey tutor mom, what is up?"
Haley: "I'm good Brooke"
Brooke: "It doesn't sound like it, tell me your problems"
Haley: "Brooke this isn't a social call. It is a teacher parent call"
Brooke: "Ok what happened? Is Sam alright?"
Haley: "Apparently, Sam's grades have been slipping lately and from what I can tell, she hasn't been turning all or any of her work in. Her other teachers have told me because they know that I know you and stuff like that"
Brooke is starting to get frustrated. She can't believe her daughter had been lying to her about school.
Brooke: "Alright so what happens now?"
Haley: "I am not sure but what I do know is that she is really far behind and it is going to take awhile for her to get caught up"
Brooke: "She spends so much damn time on basketball. I knew this was going to happen"
Haley: "Sam also has been very disruptive in class as well, especially mine"
Brooke: "Ok, is that it?"
Haley: "I want to let you know that I will help tutor her afterschool because I don't want her to fall through the cracks"
Brooke: "Thanks Haley"
Haley: "There's more"
Brooke: "Oh god"
Haley: "She skipped the rest of her classes today. She skipped with Nick Daniels"
Brooke: "I cannot believe this, she is so grounded. Thanks for letting me know Haley. I appreciate it"
Haley: "Not a problem Brooke, bye"
Brooke: "Bye"
Brooke hangs up her phone and she is pissed off. She couldn't believe Sam lied to her and that her grades are slipping and now she is skipping class. Brooke was so mad that she decided to close early and meet Sam at home so they could talk.
-Davis Home-
Sam and Nick walk into the house and leave their backpacks on the couch. Sam knew she wasn't allowed to have boys in her room but right now she didn't care.
Sam: "Come on let's go in my room"
Nick: "OK"
They enter Sam's room and Sam sits on her bed and Nick sits on the window ledge.
Nick: "Hey Sam can I ask you something?"
Sam: "Sure"
Nick: "Look Jessica doesn't know that I do drugs sometimes and I was wondering if you wouldn't tell her"
Sam: "Trust me I can keep this secret, she doesn't like the fact that I have done it before either. Hell my mom doesn't even know"
Nick: "How come?"
Sam: "I didn't think it was necessary to tell her"
Nick: "OK, so you want to smoke?"
Sam looked at the time and it was 3:30pm which meant that her mom wasn't going to be home for another hour and a half.
Sam: "Let's get this party started"
Sam left her bed and turned on her stereo blasting loud music. Nick passed the joint to Sam and she took it and started smoking.
Ten Minutes Later……
Brooke walks into her house pissed at Sam. When she enters she can hear loud music...
Brooke: "Sam!"
There is no response but she sees 2 back packs on the couch. She walks into Sam's room and instantly stops when she sees what her daughter is doing.
Sam is sitting on the bed and Nick is sitting on the window ledge, passing a joint between the two.
Brooke: "SAMANTHA LYNN DAVIS!"
Sam: (obviously stoned and with a scared expression) "Oh damn"
Nick: "um I think I should go..."
Brooke: "I think that would be a good idea! And I will be calling your parents to let them know you are on your way!"
Nick: (matching Sam's expression) "Oh damn"
Brooke: (pointing at the boy) GO! NOW! (Pointing at Sam) And you get your ass
on the couch! NOW!
Both Sam and Nick have a delayed reaction but quickly jump up. They run into each other trying to do as they were told and can't help but giggle a little due to their recent recreational activities. This only enrages Brooke more and they can clearly see that so they instantly wipe the grins off of their faces.
-Davis Living Room-
Sam is sitting on the couch and attempting to look anywhere but at her furious mother who is standing in front of her at a loss for words...at least for a couple more seconds anyway.
Brooke: "Would you like to tell me what in the HELL you are thinking?!"
Sam: "Umm well...at the moment I'm thinking about a cheeseburger..."
Brooke: "SAMANTHA! I am in no mood for joking, sarcasm, or any kind of backtalk!"
Sam: "Sorry...I just really have no idea what to say right now...I figure either way I'm screwed."
Brooke: "Yeah you're right about being screwed! Ok how about we start with the
reason I came home early! I got a call from your school informing me that your grades are slipping and you have been disrupting class! Then I come home so we can discuss this and I find you smoking POT with a BOY in your room! Let me know if any of that is inaccurate!"
Sam: "My grades aren't horrible though and the disruptions weren't my entire fault..."
Brooke: "Sam I don't want to hear excuses! And it doesn't matter that your grades aren't horrible! The point is, is that you can do a lot better! I don't know what is going on with you lately but it's going to change!"
Sam: "Sorry..."
Brooke: "Oh you will be sorry! I can promise you that we will be discussing this much more later but right now I have to call Nick's parents!"
Sam: "Look, mom..."
Brooke: "Save it Sam! Go to MY room and get started on your homework! It seems to be that I need to search YOUR room for drugs or whatever else you might be hiding!"
Sam: "But I have to go to an extra practice were having at the river court in an hour!"
Brooke: "Oh, no you don't! YOUR season just ended! Now GO!"
Sam slowly grabs her backpack and starts to walk off as Brooke lands 3 hard swipes to her butt.
Sam: "OW! OW! Mom!"
Sam now has tears in her already bloodshot eyes. Brooke just stares at her with a look that says "try me". Sam then turns and walks to her mother's room while Brooke slowly sits on the couch and puts her head in her hands, wondering what the hell she is gonna do about this.
About 30 minutes later, after Brooke spoke with Nick's dad, she had calmed down and decided it was time to go deal with Sam and what happened earlier. She walks into her room and sees Sam lying on the bed staring at the ceiling. Sam hears her walk in and instantly sat up. Brooke walks over and sits next to her daughter who looks rather nervous.
Brooke: "Okay Sam we need to have a talk."
Sam: "Look mom, I'm really, really sorry. I know I have been messing up a lot lately but please don't make me quit basketball! I promise I will be good! I'm really good and the team needs me!"
Brooke: "You should have thought about that a little bit sooner. I told you in the beginning that if your grades were going to suffer then I wasn't going to let you play. Any chance of me even considering letting you play again when your grades do improve, went out the window when I walked in earlier to find you and Nick in your room smoking pot. I expect you to be completely honest with me...was that the first time you have ever smoked?"
Sam: (looking at the bedspread and picking at a loose string) "No..."
Brooke lifts Sam's chin with her hand so Sam can clearly see that Brooke is still waiting for her to continue.
Sam: "I've done it a couple times before but not since I moved in here."
Brooke: "So why do it now? And why didn't you ever tell me?"
Sam: "Oh yeah cuz that's what every kid wants to tell her mom."Yeah mom I smoked pot a while back and might do it again. Hope you don't mind.""
Brooke: "Samantha! Watch the attitude!"
Sam: "Sorry. I don't know why I did it though. It's just something to do sometimes and its kinda fun so..."
Brooke: "Well it isn't something to do ever again. Drugs are never EVER ok."
Brooke watches Sam and decides it's time to move on to the next topic.
Brooke: "We will discuss this topic a bit more over the next month while you're grounded though. If you aren't in school then you are with me or another adult. I already talked to Haley and she agreed to give you extra tutoring after school."
Sam: "Is Haley the one that called you?"
Brooke: "That's not important. What is important is that we talk about earlier."
Sam: "I thought we just did..."
Brooke: "Yes but I'm talking about the (Brooke gets a somewhat nervous look on her face) spanking..."
Sam: (not looking her mother in the face) "what about it?"
Brooke: "I want you to know that I would never to anything more than just that. I refuse to be a bad chapter in your life"
Sam: "Whatever"
Brooke: "Sam, look at me"
Brooke grabs Sam's chin and moves it towards her.
Brooke: "I know we never talked about what went on in the foster homes you were in but I would like to know if what I implemented brought up any bad memories."
Sam: "Not really, the abuse was never like that, this was different, at least it wasn't a punch in the face or a kick in the stomach but I also don't appreciate the spanking either. I'm sixteen not five"
Brooke: "I know that, but you are my daughter and you crossed a major line, I let the drinking go because you were injured and you lost a friend but don't ever think that you can get away with what you were doing without punishment"
Sam: "I know, I crossed the line and I shouldn't of and I'm sorry"
Brooke: "I know that you are sorry but it doesn't change the fact that I lost my trust in you and that sucks, but it will be awhile before you earn that trust back"
Sam: "So, grounded for a month"
Brooke: "Yep, no phone, no TV, no friends, no basketball, no music and no computer unless it has something to do with school"
Sam: "This is like prison"
Brooke: "Call it what you want. I am glad that you weren't hiding anything in your room though, anyways, you should go in there because this conversation is ending and you have prison time to serve"
Sam: "Mom, I hope you can trust me again"
Brooke: "So do I Sam, so do I"
Brooke was now sitting in her room alone thinking about the events of the day. She had just sent Sam to her room after having a talk about the spanking. At that point Brooke decided that a few swats every now and then wouldn't be a problem. Sam wasn't very fond of this decision, but what kid would be?
