Sam isn't in the best state of mind, let's see if it gets any better...perhaps a trip home for the holidays can cure it, or will it make things worse? R&R, as always I own nothing except OCs...
Sam barely made it through the week, but when her students were dismissed Friday she felt a small sense of relief lifted off of her, but nothing to make a significant change. A number of her coworkers and even Principal Fletcher had showed concern for her, but she convinced them she was okay, but Sam could tell no one believed her.
When she finally got home she immediately got to packing. Her flight to her parents house in Seattle was leaving early the next morning and she had a lot to do before then. Despite her concerns about her feelings for Jason he was still coming home with her and for some reason she found it a good thing. Jason had been very patient with her throughout the week and Sam felt that she needed to stick to the plan of the two of them meeting each others families. Granted Mattie had pointed out that just because her parents might fall in love with Jason didn't mean that Sam would, but she was taking a chance. He made her feel comfortable with herself and had a weird way of making her forget everything, well everything except her ex, it seemed like nothing could make her forget about him.
It had been almost a week since Sam came clean to Phil and she hadn't heard from him, not that she expected to, but she hated that seven years that were filled with love had ended with him feeling hate and disdain for her. Sam figured she had to keep pushing on with her life because there was no way that Phil would ever be willing to give her a second chance and she knew she didn't deserve one.
In the middle of packing she was interrupted by a knock at the door and found Jason on the other side. A smile appeared on her lips as she moved aside to let him in, his suitcase trailing behind him. He greeted her with a peck to the cheek, and Sam returned the greeting by placing her mouth on his in a sweet kiss. Jason smiled at her as he took off his coat and followed her back to her room so she could continue packing. Sam folded her clothes placing them carefully in her Louis Vuitton luggage, one of the expensive things she decided she needed when she was a diva. Now she was lucky if she used the luggage set once a year!
"So what can I expect from your family?"
"Well I am exactly like my dad. We're the calm ones in the family and we'd rather spend the day outside or listening to music then doing anything else. While I act like my dad I look exactly like my mom. Compliment her cooking, she likes that and she's good at it, so the compliments come easy. As for my brother, he'll never grow up! My parents baby him, but I find myself doing the same thing from time to time. There's seven years between us, so he's more like my first born then my sibling."
"Interesting, so look forward to good food and hospitality. Are you ready for Aspen? I booked an early flight that leaves Thursday morning."
"Thursday morning? It'll be rough seeing we won't be back until Wednesday afternoon, but I'll be ready. I have my winter gear out of storage, so I'm ready with that and I'll have Mattie get what I need from the dry cleaners."
"Corey said he'd help out." Sam's smile faded. She hadn't talked to Corey since he left clearly disgusted when she told him the truth about her relationship with Phil.
"Well that's nice of him, but we haven't talked for about a week."
"What is up with that? You two talk at least once a day, what happened?"
"Well Corey and I have never had secrets, we've always told each other everything no matter how embarrassing or messed up it is. I did something a little over a year ago and I chose to keep it to myself. It came out last week and he was very hurt that I kept it from him, but I didn't want to believe it, so I tried to hide it in hopes I'd forget about it."
"So your friendship is damaged over some stupid secret? You guys need to work it out. You've been best friends forever, there's no point in throwing it away over something silly."
"You're right. I'll let him cool off a bit and I'll make sure I talk to him when we come back from jet setting." Sam put the last of her clothes in her bag and zipped it closed, rolling it to the front hall and setting it beside Jason's. There was a lot Sam needed to fix and Corey was at the top of her list. For some reason Phil was on that list too even though she knew she'd never be able to fix that. Their relationship was beyond broken.
The only good thing about Monday's is Raw is on tonight...hope everyone is watching! Keep adding this story to your favorites and sending those reviews :)
