Chapter Nine:

"How do I look?" Sam asked her Mom and Aunt as she walked out of her room and into the living room, where the two older women sat talking. Sam wore a black halter style dress which had pink roses on it and was trimmed in pink. Her hair was down and flowed around her shoulders. She accessorized the dress with dangling silver earrings and black stilettos that matched the dress perfectly.

Evelyn smiled, "You look absolutely stunning!"

"I agree. Sam, you're beautiful!" Krystal said, smiling.

Sam blushed slightly and smiled when she saw Joey jump off of the couch and run over to her. Sam bent down and picked the small dog up, "Oh Joey. Momma's got a date. She can't stay home with you tonight. Sorry baby doll."

Krystal and Evelyn laughed as they listened to Sam speak to Joey as if Joey was a child whose Mom was leaving her for the very first time.

"Has Sam always been like that with her dogs?" Evelyn whispered to Krystal.

Krystal shook her head, still watching Sam, "Nope. Only with Joey. She and that dog have a really unbreakable bond."

Evelyn smiled. Sam had said she had a date tonight but she wouldn't tell her who the lucky guy was.

Flashback

"Oh Momma! I forgot to tell you the best news!" Sam said, excitedly.

Evelyn looked at her daughter, "And what would that be hunny?"

"I've got a date tomorrow night!"

"With who?" Evelyn asked, surprised.

Sam smiled, "You're going to have to wait and see."

End Flashback

The doorbell rang, causing Sam to jump in surprise and looked at Krystal and Evelyn, "He's here. Oh gosh."

Krystal laughed as she got up to answer the door and as Evelyn walked up to Sam and gave her a hug, "Sam, I hope this man knows how lucky he is to have you as his date this evening."

Sam smiled and was about to reply when she saw Jason and Krystal emerge from the hallway. She pulled away from her mother and said, "Momma, I'd like you to meet my date. Well, you already know him."

Evelyn turned around and gasped in shock, "Jason?"

Sam couldn't help but laugh as she looked at Jason, "Jason, this is my Momma, Evelyn McCall."

Jason said, "Hello, Mrs. McCall."

It took Evelyn a minute to catch her breath, "Hi Jason," she then turned to Sam, "Can I speak to you a minute?"

Sam nodded and said to Jason, "I'll be right back."

Evelyn pulled her daughter into the kitchen, "Samantha. Do you know what happened to Jason after you left?"

Nodding, Sam replied, "Yes Momma. He was in a car accident and lost his memory."

"Are you going to explain this all to me?"

"Later. I promise Momma. But I've got to get going before Jason leaves," Sam joked.

Evelyn shook her head and then gave Sam a kiss on her forehead, "Okay sweetheart. Have a good time."

Sam smiled as she turned around and reappeared in the living room, "Sorry about that Jason," and then noticing Krystal wasn't anywhere to be seen, she added, "Do you know where my aunt went?"

"She said she had some appointment. So she left," Jason replied, as he looked Sam up and down.

Sam felt her face grown warm as she watched Jason's eyes roam over her body and then as he put his hand out for her to take. She took his hand and together they left the house as Sam said a quick good bye to Evelyn and Joey.

"Wow, this place is gorgeous," Sam said to Jason as they followed the waiter to their table.

"Yeah, gorgeous," Jason replied, looking at Sam.

Sam smiled, not noticing as Jason looked at her, as he pulled her chair out for her.

"What would you like to drink?" the waiter asked.

"I'll have a beer," Jason said and then looked over at Sam, "What would you like?"

Sam thought for a moment, "I'd like a lime rickey, please."

The waiter smiled at them and walked off.

"So, I take it your mom was a little shocked to see me?" Jason laughed.

"I'm not sure if that is even the word to describe it," Sam joked.

The waiter brought back their drinks and they continued talking.

Evelyn sat on the sofa, flipping through a magazine, when she heard the doorbell ring. Figuring it was just Krystal, who forgot her key, she got up and walked out into the hallway and opened the front door, the figure on the other side of the door caused her to scream in terror.

"That was so delicious," Sam said as she pushed her plate away.

Jason nodded in agreement, "Yeah it was."

"Thanks Jason."

"For what?" Jason asked questioningly.

"For everything you've done. Finding Joey. Making me sit down and listen to what you had to say. Taking me out on a date. Take your pick," Sam smiled.

Jason laughed, "Sam. Don't thank me for all of that. I'm just happy you agreed to go on this date with me," he stopped for a moment, "Sam, I was wondering-um- would you want to come with me for a walk around the park?"

Sam nodded, smiling, "That would be great."

They got up and they left, hand in hand.

"Please Cody. Please. Don't do this. Not at our daughter's house. Please Cody," Evelyn begged her ex husband, who was pointing a gun at her.

Cody grinned, "Evie, you never did call and tell me that Sammie was back in town."

Evelyn didn't reply, just stared at the gun pointing at her. Before she knew what happened, she felt Cody's fist connect with her stomach. Evelyn fell to her knees in pain. As tears threatened to fall from her eyes, she felt Cody push her to the ground and pin her body to the floor. As she began to scream, she felt Cody slide his hand up her nightgown. As Evelyn lied on the floor, kicking and screaming, her ex husband raped her.

"This park is so beautiful. It hasn't changed since we were…." Sam stopped herself. Jason didn't remember that time, why should she say anything?

Jason looked at Sam, "Its okay Sam. You can say it if you want."

Sam shook her head, "No. Never mind."

"Well, I better be getting you home Ms. McCall. It's getting extremely late," Jason smiled.

"Yeah, knowing Momma and Aunt Krystal, their probably waiting up for me," Sam laughed as Jason led her to the park entrance and back to his car.

As Krystal pulled into Sam's driveway, she felt as if something wasn't right. She slowly climbed out of her car and walked up the porch stairs. She saw the front door was slightly open and slowed down even more. Krystal carefully pushed the door open a little bit more and screamed as she saw Evelyn's lifeless body lying only ten feet away from her.
