*SPOILERS TO SEASON 7 FINALE*

Chapter 13: Why do bad things always happen to me?

Sam couldn't believe that this was the last day of vacation. It had gone by so fast. Sam had met Clay and began to get to know him. She thought that he was pretty cool. She had also spent more time with Julian and they all went to his movie release. In her opinion it was a really good movie too. She had had so many good times on this vacation and she had gotten closer to Brooke. She had opened up a lot more and couldn't wait to have Julian as her brother-in-law. He was really cool. Sam had told Brooke all about the month that she was held hostage by Carson. She had also talked to Haley and Quinn.

Sam loved all of them. She viewed Haley and Quinn kind of like big sisters or aunts. Jamie was like her little brother. She felt overprotective of him all the time and liked that Haley said he looked up to her. She liked being a role model. Nathan was like a cool and strict big brother. He made sure that she didn't push her limits and took her meds and even made her eat her vegetables. Well he thought he did. She just waited until he walked away and threw it in the garbage. She couldn't wait to get back home though. Maddie was coming in two days and she was super excited. Plus she wanted to tell Peyton and Lucas everything that she had done like snowboarding, sledding, having a snowball fight, going to the pool, building a big snow fort igloo things, and had lots of hot chocolate.

She had never been so happy in her life. She would always remember this week. Julian had told her that she would propose to Brooke tonight. She was happy that Brooke was getting her fairy tale ending. She deserved it. Brooke was one of the nicest and strongest people that she knew. Sometimes Brooke tried to hide her soft side because it made her seam too vulnerable but Sam could see past that. She could tell that even though Brooke's was everyone's rock she needed someone to lean on sometimes and Sam wanted to be that person. She was happy that Brooke told her stuff that she wouldn't normally tell anyone. She was happy that Brooke was her sister.

Sam and Brooke were taking a walk around the woods. Sam pulled her coat around her more. It was cold but it wasn't unbearable. She was having fun hanging out with Brooke. Even though they weren't really talking they were enjoying each others company.

"You cold, wanna turn back?" asked Brooke a little worried.

"No it's okay I don't want to go back yet. I just want to take this all in so I can never forget it." said Sam.

Brooke wrapped her arm around Brooke's shoulder.

"Me too. This has been a great week." said Brooke.

"Can I ask you a question?" asked Sam.

"Sure go ahead." said Brooke.

"When you first found out about me. What did you think?" asked Sam.

Brooke was kind of confused by Sam's question. She could tell that Sam was still doubting herself. Sam didn't think she was worthy of being happy. She felt that bad things were always destined to happen to her. She didn't think that she would have a happy future because she didn't believe that she was a good enough person. When honestly she was a great person. She had do much going for her in life and she just needed to realize that at some point in her life. Once she did she was realize that she truly did deserve to be happy.

"Well first I was mad but not at you, at mom and dad. I was pissed that they hid you from me for so long. Then you showed up at the store and I could see how hurt you were and it just made me more angry. But I was happy too. I always wanted a little sister to do things with and talk to and it turns out I have had one all along. I just wish I could have known you earlier. We have a lot of lost time to make up for. But better late then ever right?" said Brooke.

"Right." said Brooke.

"I never ever thought twice about taking you in either. And it wasn't just because I had to. It was because I wanted to and I needed to for me. Sam you are my sister and nothing will ever separate us again." said Brooke.

"I'm happy your my sister Brooke." said Sam.

"Me too." said Brooke.

"And I am sorry that sometimes I tend to second guess myself and the people around me. I guess I am still just a little closed off. I'll change." said Sam.

"There is nothing for you to be sorry for honey. You're healing and eventually you will begin to feel better. But you don't have to change because you are a wonderful person Sam and everyone loves you just the way you are." said Brooke.

"Yeah." said Sam.

There was an awkward silence that followed. Neither Brooke or Sam could figure out what to say. They just kept walking. Sam kicked snow as she walked alongside Brooke and starred at the floor.

"So let's change the subject." said Brooke breaking the uncomfortable silence.

"Okay. I can't wait to get home." said Sam.

"Me neither. I miss Luca, Peyton, and Sawyer so much." said Brooke, "I wish they could have came."

"Me too. It's kind of funny how Sawyer calls me aunt Sam. It makes me feel so old." Sam said kind of complaining.

"I think it's cute." said Brooke.

"That's because you are old." laughed Sam.

"Hey!" said Brooke pushing Sam playfully, "I am not old."

"Okay whatever you say old lady. So when am I getting a niece or nephew from you?" asked Sam.

"Sam I think we have a while to think about that. I am not even married yet. I love Julian but we haven't even really talked about kids yet. It seams like a whole other life time ahead." said Brooke.

"Well do you want kids?" asked Sam.

"Of course I do." said Brooke," Just one or two maybe, a boy and a girl."

Sam could imagine Brooke with kids. She would be the cool aunt giving her nieces and nephews anything that Brooke said they couldn't have, as long as it was reasonable. She would be there for them no matter what. And when she had her kids they could all come over and play together. If she was alive then, that was. She couldn't help from having her pessimistic thoughts pop up in her head again. Brooke told her that she had to stay positive and she was trying but the fact still remained that her heart was failing her no matter how much will power or strength she had. Soon she would be too tired to keep fighting anymore.

"So I will see you in the morning bright and early." said Brooke giving Sam a hug, "And Quinn."

Brooke turned to Quinn.

"Yeah?" said Quinn.

"Good luck with waking Sam up." said Brooke patting Quinn's arm.

"Yeah leave me the dirty work." said Quinn.

"Hey, I am not that bad." said Sam crossing her arms and pouting.

Brooke and Quinn laughed. Sometimes Sam could be such a big drama queen. She was also stubborn, sometimes worse than Brooke. Sometimes Brooke had to tell Sam to do something fifty times before she actually got up and did it.

"You all packed?" asked Brooke for the third time that night.

"Yes, 'mother' I am all packed for the second time." said Sam.

"You did not jump compare me to Victoria." said Brooke.

Sam smirked.

"Well I guess I will see you tomorrow then." said Brooke.

"Okay, bye." said Sam.

"See you tomorrow. said Quinn as Brooke walked out the door.

Sam watched as Brooke walked out the door knowing that the next tie she saw her she would be engaged to Julian Baker and Sam couldn't be more happy for her.

"What are you all smiley about?" asked Quinn.

"My sister is getting engaged tonight." said Sam with a smile.

Sam and Julian sat on the side of the pool and watched as everyone played around in the water. They were splashing and swimming. Everyone was having so much fun. Sam had taken a little break because she got tired and Julian told Brooke that he would sit with her so she didn't feel lonely.

"So when are you going to ask my sister to marry you?" asked Sam

"The day before we leave." said Julian.

"That's great. I am really happy for you guys. You two really love each other. I can imagine maybe ten years from now when you guys have three crazy kids and you have a big production company and Brooke's fashion line goes global. You two are going to be like a power couple." said Sam

Julian laughed.

"Sam there is something that I have to ask you though before I can marry Brooke." said Julian.

"What is it?" asked Sam.

"Do I have your blessing?" asked Julian.

Sam just looked at Julian she had no idea why he was asking her for her blessing to marry Brooke. Sam had only been with Brooke for a month and a half. It wasn't like she had known her her whole life. And besides she was only Brooke's sister. Weren't you supposed to ask for a blessing from a person's mother or father but she knew that that was kind of out of the question because Dad was dead and Victoria was an inconsiderate bitch.

"You want my blessing?" said Sam.

"Yeas." replied Julian.

"Why?" asked Sam.

"Because you are the most important person in Brooke's life right now. You are her sister. You bring out thins whole other side of Brooke that nobody ever sees. She adores you Sam. And if we are getting married I need you to know that that will not change anything. I will not be taking your sister away from you or anything like that I promise." said Julian.

"But its not like I have been with her forever." said Sam.

"Well when you two are together it feels that way." said Julian, "So do I have your blessing?"

"Yes you do have my blessing." said Sam.

Julian hugged Sam.

"But if you ever hurt her then me and you are going to have some problems." said Sam, ""She's been hurt too many times by people she thought cared about her. She doesn't deserve any more of that." said Sam.

"And I would never ever think of doing something like that. I would give my life for Brooke in a heartbeat. She is my soul mate Sam. From the moment I laid eyes on her I was in love." said Julian.

"I'll keep you to those words." said Sam, "Welcome to the family."

Brooke walked into the house and saw rose petals all over the floor. The lights were dimmed and a candle lit path was made leading towards the kitchen. Brooke followed the path until she came to the kitchen. Julian was sitting at a table with two lit candles, a bottle of wine, and two plates of food. Julian was wearing a suit and he looked absolutely handsome.

"Julian this is beautiful." said Brooke.

Julian smiled and stood up he walked over to Brooke and kissed her on the lips.

"Why didn't you tell me? I feel so under dressed." said Brooke.

"You look beautiful." said Julian, " I wanted it to be a surprise."

Julian led Brooke to her seat. He pulled out the chair and she sat. He then walked back to his seat and poured them both some wine. He picked up his glass.

"A toast." said Julian, "For many happy years together to come and more memorable moments."

"And to our friends and family." said Brooke lifting her glass.

Julian and Brooke clanked their cups together and took a sip. Julian looked across the table to the woman he loved and smiled. This was the beginning of the rest of his life, if she said yes. They both began to eat the food that was on the plates.

"Wow Julian this is amazing. You never told me that you could cook." said Brooke.

"Guess the subject just never came up." said Julian.

Brooke ate another piece of her Chicken Parmesan. When they were done both of them sat there smiling.

"This is all amazing." said Brooke.

"I'm glad that you liked it all because there is something I wanted to talk to you about." said Julian.

"What is it?" asked Brooke.

"For the past two years we have been dating. Since our first date I knew that you were the one. You are the girl I love more than anything in the world. You have been with me through the bad times and the good. But I have been thinking lately and I do not want us to just date anymore." said Julian.

"I don't understand. Are you saying that you don't want us to be together anymore?" asked Brooke.

"Actually its the exact opposite." said Julian.

Julian got up from his seat. He went over to Brooke and got on one knee. Brooke's heart rate began to speed up. Julian took a small box out of his pocket and revealed a beautiful ring.

"I want us to spend the rest of our lives together. I want to grow old with you Brooke Davis and have a family together. I never want to spend one day without knowing that you are my wife anymore." said Julian, "Brooke Penelope Davis I love you. Will you marry me?"

Brooke felt the tears of joy begin to role down her face. She was so happy at the moment. The man of her dreams was finally going to marry her. She was going to finally have the family she always dreamed of.

"Julian Baker, yes i will marry you." said Brooke.

Julian took the ring out of the box and put it on Brooke's finger. He kissed her. His dreams were finally coming true and so was Brooke's.

Clay and Sam were playing pool. Sam was winning.

"Wow Sam you're really good. Who taught you how to play pool?" asked Clay.

"Me and my friends used to go to this bar and okay all the time. My friends mom owned the place and we would go to the basement to hang out and watch tv." said Sam.

"Did you drink?" asked Clay.

"All the time." said Sam.

"Are you serious?" asked Clay.

Sam laughed at the seriousness on Clay's face. She found it so funny how everyone acted so overprotective of her and Jamie and Sawyer because they were the kids in the family.

"Of course not. I'm only fifteen Clay. I'm not a drinker and I don't do drugs or smoke for that matter. I'm an angel." said Sam with a smile.

"Yeah right." said Quinn as she walked into the room.

"Hey Quinn. I was just beating your boyfriend here at some pool." said Sam.

"I can see that but its time for bed for you pipsqueak. We have to wake up at four in the morning. And if you give me trouble in the morning I will pour a big bucket of freezing water on you." said Quinn.

"You wouldn't dare." said Sam.

"Wanna bet?" asked Quinn.

"Okay I'm going to bed. See you guys in the morning. Goodnight Clay." said Sam.'

"Goodnight." said Clay.

Sam and Quinn went to Sam's room. Sam sat on her bed.

"You okay?" asked Quinn.

"Yeah I'm great actually. These past two weeks have been amazing. My sister is engaged and my heart feels fine and Im not tired or anything. I'm really happy." said Sam.

"That's great." said Quinn.

"So how about you? I mean you seamed a little distracted today. Clay still getting those phone calls?" asked Sam.

Quinn sat on the bed next to Sam.

"Yeah. I just wish Katie would just leave us alone." said Quinn.

"It'll be okay Quinn I know it." said Sam.

Quinn smiled and held Sam's hand.

"Well go to sleep no okay." said Quinn.

"Okay." said Sam

Sam got under the covers. Quinn gave her a kiss on the forehead and left the room turning off the lights on the way out. Sam slowly drifted to sleep. Quinn walked back to the living room where Clay was sitting on the couch. She sat beside him and laid her head n his leg.

"She asleep?" asked Clay.

"Yeah." said Quinn closing her eyes.

"Maybe you should go to bed too." said Clay stroking Quinn's hair.

"When are you going to come to bed?" asked Quinn tiredly.

"In a few." said Clay, "I have to make a phone call first."

"Okay." said Quinn.

Quinn kissed Clay before getting up and walking to the her room. When she got there she saw Katie standing there with a gun pointed strait at her. Katie pulled the trigger and Quinn fell to the floor. The shot echoed through the house making Clay jump out of his seat.

"QUINN! SAM!" yelled Clay as he ran towards his room.

He saw Quinn on the floor and as he walked closer Katie came into his view. Before he could say anything Katie shot him as well. Clay was thrown back against the door by the shot. Both Clay and Quinn lay on the floor bleeding. Dying.

There you go.

I hope you all liked it.

Tell me what you think.
