--Nine--

Caleb and Pogue stayed with Sam while Tyler and Reid went to the airport to get Brooke. When she got in, she gave Reid a big hug, then gave Tyler one.

"How is she?" she asked.

"She's sleeping right now, but when we get in the car we will tell you the rest." said Tyler.

She nodded and they walked to baggage claim to get her luggage. Went to the hummer, got in, and Reid drove off.

"So what happened to her?" she asked.

"I had left her in her room to get ready for school, she was doing fine. Then I came back and I found her in the bathroom, in the corner in shock." said Tyler.

"Oh my God… why?"

"We don't know, Brookie. But none of us could get her out of her trance. Only Pogue did. He kissed her on the lips and she snapped out of it." said Reid.

"She told us that she saw something, it was someone she use to know telling her that everyone she loves is going to die. She had a dream last night about all of us getting stabbed in the heart and she heard a voice saying that they know what she did." said Tyler.

"Oh no." whispered Brooke.

"What did she do, Brookie?" asked Reid.

"I am sorry Reid, but it's not my place to tell what happened."

"But something did happen?"

"It was an accident… but she was afraid of telling you guys because of how you'd react or think about her."

"Brooke, could you please tell us?" asked Reid.

"I want to be there when she tells you… so can you just wait til then. I'll get her to tell all you guys, because it's serious and you guys have a right to know."

"Okay fine… Brookie. So how are you?"

"I'm doing good… When you called me I was in the middle of class, but Sam is more important to me."

"That's good… I know she cares about you and junk… you know, all that girly stuff." said Reid.

Brooke laughed and said "Yeah, I know."

Reid drove back to the dorms as fast as he could, getting there in an hour and ten minutes. Brooke walked thru the door and saw Sam sleeping in Pogue's arms.

She threw her purse on the floor and sat next to her, making Pogue move out of his seat.

Brooke lightly tapped on Sam's shoulder and said "Sam… honey, wake up."

Her eyes fluttered and she opened them seeing Brooke staring right at her and said "Brooke?"

"Yeah, Sammy… I came when Reid called me."

Sam sat up and gave Brooke a hug. Brooke whispered in her ear, so nobody could hear her "How's the baby?"

"Fine… it's fine." she whispered back.

They let go of the hug and Brooke sat in her seat next to Sam.

"Okay Brooke, you are here now… Sam can tell us." said Reid.

Sam looked at Brooke first. Brooke nodded and said "It's okay… I'm here. Go ahead and tell them."

Sam hugged her knees to her chest and looked down. She didn't want to see the guys faces after she told them what she is about to tell them.

She took a deep breath and said "Okay about a month ago, me and Brooke were at this party. I met this guy named Chris. We were talking and we went up to this room where it was quiet. After a while the next thing I know, he didn't want to talk anymore." tears were falling down her cheeks non stop. "He got on top of me pinning me down, trying to take all my clothes off. I was screaming, but nobody heard me with the music blaring downstairs." she paused to take another deep breath, with tears still falling down. "I was telling him to stop, but he wouldn't. When I looked into his eyes, they were black. I panicked and I flipped him off of me with all the force and strength I had and he flew out the window landing on a sharp fence… piercing his heart."

She was just sobbing harder after she confessed her story to the guys. "I killed him!"

Brooke pulled Sam into her arms, crying with her, and said "Honey… it was an accident."

The guys didn't know what to say or know how to make this situation any better. They were all at a loss for words.

Reid sat next to Sam, pulling her out of Brooke's arms into his, and said "It's okay Sam… it was self defense. He was trying to hurt you."

"You don't understand Reid, I killed him… Using. I Used to throw him out the window."

All the guys gasped when she said that knowing Brooke was in the room with them. Brooke saw the looks on their faces.

"Um… guys, I know. I've known for a while."

"How long?" asked Caleb.

"When I came down to visit three years ago. I saw Reid and Sam doing something. I confronted her about it and she told me. Don't worry, I haven't said nothing then and I am not about to say anything now. I love you guys, you're secret is safe with me." she gave them a reassuring smile.

"Okay." Caleb nodded. "Sam, what happened to the guy?"

She looked up from her face being buried in Reid's chest and said "I don't know. I grabbed Brooke and ran out of there. Later the news said that he was up on the balcony on drugs and drunk, he just slipped and fell off."

"Why were you so scared to tell us?" asked Tyler.

"I was scared of how you guys would have thought of me knowing I killed someone."

"But it was an accident Jay, he was…" Pogue paused, he just hated the thought of anyone touching Sam like that, it made him cringe. "forcing himself on you and you fought back."

She saw the scared look on Pogue's face and flashed him a weak smile, then said "When I was in the bathroom, the darkling I saw… was Chris. He told me that everyone I know is going to die. Then he did something really strange, making me relive my dream I had about you guys."

"And that's why you looked like you were in shock, telling Pogue that he thought he was dead." said Caleb.

She nodded and said "Yeah... So B, how long are you going to stay?"

"I'll stay until you have the…" she stopped herself from saying what she was going to say. "room at your house fixed for me, so I can fix it how I want and come over when I feel I need to." Brooke played it off smoothly. The guys, except Tyler, were oblivious.

Brooke mouthed to Sam "Do they know?"

Sam shook her head and mouthed back "Just Tyler."

Brooke nodded and said "So fellas… how are all of you doing?"

"Pretty good… We'll feel better once we figure out what's going on." said Caleb.

All of a sudden, Brooke started talking to Sam in their own little language that only them two knew.

"When are you going to tell them about the baby, Sam?"

Sam laughed and said "Soon Brooke. I just told them about this news. One hurdle at a time."

The guys were staring at them funny, listening to them talk to each other in a odd language.

"Daddy." she said looking over at Pogue. "needs to know about his baby."

"I know… but he's with someone else. It just hurts too much."

"I'll make the other guys leave so you can talk to him about it."

Sam nodded and Brooke spoke normal and said "Wow… I really missed you guys."

"What the hell was that?" asked Caleb.

"Me and Sam have our own language." said Brooke with a smile.

"Okay… we got that, but what were you talking about?"

"Girl stuff."

"Tyler?" Sam whined.

"Yes?" he looked up at her.

"Can you hold me?"

"Yeah." he walked over the bed. "Move Reid."

Reid got up and sat on the recliner where Tyler was recently sitting while Tyler laid down on his back. Sam laid her head on his chest with him putting his arms around her.

Pogue did not like that at all. He was just upset about everything she told them and he just wanted to comfort her if she needed it.

Sam sent a thought to Pogue "I need to talk to you about something important."

"Okay… why can't you just say it in front of everybody?"

"Um… for your sake, I'd wait til Reid is out of the room."

He looked at her confused "Um… okay then."

"Hey Cal… can you get all of us something to eat. Brooke and Reid will go with you."

"Yeah… sure. Let's go."

A few minutes later Caleb, Reid, and Brooke left the room to get food.
