I'm still alive everybody and back with another chapter! I hope yous all enjoy!
Chapter 11
Sam woke up with a groan. She really hated mornings. She stretched her arms out and flapped them to the side only to hit a sleeping body beside.
"Shit!" Sam jumped and rolled off the edge of her bed. "Ow"
With all the commotion Melissa had stirred in her sleep. "What the fuck Sam? Seriously cant you just sleep normally, some of us are trying to get a good night sleep here." Melissa rolled over expecting to see Sam. "Sam?"
"I'm down here…" Melissa peered over the side of Sam's bed and burst out laughing.
"What you doing down there?"
"Oh I don't know, making waffles!" Sam answered sarcastically. "You kicked me out the bed!"
"Em I think you'll find I didn't… "
"Well you got in my way and I fell off the bed" Sam kneeled up on her elbows and smiled at Melissa "same difference."
Melissa just shook her head and flumped back down on Sam's bed "Whatever you big homo, just get back in bed cause its really too early to be getting up."
"Really, now you know I'm gay your just going to use it against me?"
"No, I just like calling you a homo now, problem?" Sam's head popped up beside Melissa.
"Only if you say it out in public I do." She got up and sat down beside Melissa.
"Well duh I'm not that stupid, I know your closet door is firmly shut and that your not coming out of it."
"Not yet anyway." Melissa sat up and looked at Sam quizzically.
"Yet?"
"Well I cant live a lie so I'll have to tell people one day and Brooke."
"Now come on Brooke is the least of your worries, she's the coolest mom she could have, she'd have no problem with it!"
Sam shrugged her shoulders "Maybe, you just never know these days how people will react."
"Em yeah but considering that The Ellen DeGeneres show is Brooke's favourite…"
Sam burst out laughing "That is the funniest thing, next you'll be saying that she watches The L Word!
"Actually now that you mention it I thought I saw her watching it the other time I was here…"
Sam picked up a pillow and swung it at Melissa "Oh my god shut up, that would just be weird!"
"Okay, Okay stop it already, you'll mess my hair up!"
"What more than it already is. You always have the best bed head babe!"
"Babe? Is that like a gay thing?"
"No, I've said babe before…. I think? So have you."
"Alright, chill out Babe!" Sam swung the pillow at her straight in the face again.
"Ow, quit it!"
"Well stop making gay jokes!"
"Fine I will! Now if you excuse me I'm away to the bathroom to get away from this mad woman!" Melissa swung her legs out from under the cosiness of the covers and planted her feet on the cold wooden floor. She made her way over to the door.
"Yeah right you're just going to check on your bed head!" Melissa turned around and feigned shock.
"You've upset me and now I'm going to leave!"
"Yeah but you always come back"
"So what's the plans today?" Brooke, Sam and Melissa were all situated in the living room lounging on the sofa.
"Well I was going to take over the world and create peace for everyone but my schedule was rather busy with a marathon Mario Kart on the Wii."
Brooke sat up and looked at Melissa worriedly "Seriously, Melissa where do you think these up? Your crazy!"
"Yeah I know but my theory is that if I didn't say it out loud I'd literally go crazy."
Sam scoffed and Melissa's theory "You do realise that made no sense what so ever right?"
"Yeah well it made sense to me!"
The three girls sat in silence.
"So…" Brooke sighed.
"So…" Melissa replied.
"This is bull! I cant believe we've been reduced to staying in our own home cause some freak wants to kill me!"
"Samantha!"
"What he does! I should just walk out there and face him!"
Brooke sat beside Sam and took her hand in hers.
"Samantha. You are not stepping out of this house until this guy is put behind bars! You really think that he'd want to kill you? I thought he just wanted to scare you?"
Sam closed her eyes and sighed "He's killed before…"
The room fell silent once again, Sam didn't dare open her eyes, she knew that Melissa would know who that person was.
"Sam? How do you know that?" Sam slowly opened her eyes and looked into Brooke's concerned eyes.
"I knew them. I knew the person he killed." She turned to look at Melissa. "It was Lynsey."
"I'm so sorry Sam."
Sam shook her head "Its okay, it wasn't your fault"
"Sam honey, who's Lynsey?"
Sam took a deep breath and sat back against the sofa. She was caught between two thoughts 'Do I just tell her and make my life easier' and 'this really isn't the time' but it was the time.
"When I left The Deans I went back to Social Services but I couldn't handle it. I went on the run, I basically lived on the streets."
"Hey, Sam do you want me to leave you two alone?" Melissa asked as she stood up.
"No, I want you here, you need to hear some of this too. There was this girl, Lynsey. She let me stay with her one night after she found me sleeping on a park bench. I ended up staying there for months, we became inseparable. There was one night that she was working, I went outside to put the garbage out and that's when I saw him. The first time in a year. He hadn't changed much, I knew instantly who he was. I remember that smug look on his face and then he waved at me. I felt sick, I ran back inside and locked all the doors. I text Lynsey and told her to come straight home from work. Thankfully she did. She knew something was wrong but she didn't push it, she knew to leave it. A month went past and I' been getting these small reminders that he was still watching me and Lynsey. Every time Lynsey went to work he'd ring the bell to the flat, at first I obviously answered it, I thought she's forgotten her key but when I lifted the phone it was him, he told me he was watching us and that he knew where Lynsey worked and that if I told her he'd hurt her so that he could hurt me. I would sit all day worrying about Lynsey, I would text her every hour to make sure that she was okay.
After a month, they kind of stopped, he would never phone me when Lynsey went out. One day I got a text from Lynsey saying to meet her at work; she had a surprise for me. So thinking that I was safe enough to go out alone I went. When I got there I asked at the reception desk if Lynsey was in her office but she told me that she'd gone home. Right there I knew something was wrong. So I phoned her phone but it wasn't her who answered, it was him. I could hear her screaming in the background…"
Sam choked out a sob. Brooke wrapped her arms round Sam as her own tears ran down her face. She looked over at Melissa who was also crying. Brooke waved her hand for Melissa to come sit beside them. Melissa got up and sat beside Sam and put her arm round her. Sam pulled back and wiped her tears from her face.
"I ran, that's all I could do, run. I got to our flat and opened the door, I could never prepare myself for what I was going to see. She was in the kitchen. She just lay there. There was blood everywhere and she wasn't moving. He'd stabbed her. She was already gone when I got there, she was as white as a ghost, her beautiful face… Her beautiful brown eyes stared back at me, you could see the pain in them, the hurt. I collapsed down to the ground, I couldn't breathe. Her phone started ringing, I don't know why but I just answered it. All I heard was 'It'll be you next Sam' and he hung up. I crawled to her body and just held her. I held her for hours.
She was the only person who loved me and I'd lost her. My life was over because she was my life"
Sam broke down in Brooke's arms, she couldn't stop the tears from falling. She'd replayed that night in her head until this very day and never told anybody apart from the police. The only thing Brooke could do was comfort Sam, she was crying that hard that she couldn't speak anyway. Melissa just sat in utter shock, she couldn't believe that Sam had to see the love of her life dead in front of her like that. She had no idea how Sam was going to tell Brooke that Lynsey was infact her girlfriend.
"Its okay Sam, were going to get this guy and he's going to go down for life. Your going to be safe, were all going to be safe, you, me and Melissa."
"But what if your not? He got Lynsey. I should have told her about him but I didn't."
"But honey. You've told us, were going to be fine. How could you have known that he was going to do that to Lynsey, you didn't. Nobody did. Okay? This guys a bastard and he's going to pay to what he did to you and to Lynsey."
Sam just nodded her head and held onto Brooke closely.
"She's right you know, he's going to pay and if the police don't get a hold of him first then I certainly will make him pay!" Melissa said as she took hold of Sam's hand.
"Sam, honey, I know what you just told everything but there's one question I want to ask but you don't have to answer. Lynsey she wasn't just your friend was she?"
Sam shook her head no. "I wanted to tell you differently. I wanted it to be one of the stories when she made me happy, I wanted you to know her as the bubbly girl that I knew and not just my girlfriend that was murdered!"
"So tell me, tell me about her."
Sam looked up at Brooke "Really?"
"Yes really, I want to know about the girl who made you happy. That all I care about Sam, you being happy and if it's a girl I don't care. You love who you love!"
Sam burst into tears once again.
"I love you so much Brooke. You mean the world to me and so do you Melissa. I thought I'd never find anybody who'd love me again."
"We do love you and we'll never stop loving you Sam, never. Now tell me about Lynsey."
And that's what Sam did. She spoke into the early hours about all the things her and Lynsey did together until she fell asleep in Brooke's arms and with Melissa beside her. Brooke sat with two young girls beside her.
Silent tears ran down her face.
Tears were shed for Sam.
And most of all tears were shed for Lynsey.
A girl who never deserved to die.
Okay so it wasn't that long but it was a big part in this story, Sam coming out to Brooke. A lot of it didn't come out the way I wanted it to, I have the perfect image of how Brooke would react to this but I just cant write it down! So I'm slightly pissed out how I wrote it!
I hope you enjoyed, please review!
