So I am sorry for a late update. Not so sure about his chapter but I think I have the next chapter or two all planned out. I am so sad because One Tree Hill wrapped yesterday I have been in a sad mood all day. I can't believe it's ending. January needs to come sooner! Anyway, hope you like it. Thanks!
Sam came walking out of her room with a wide smile on her face. Brooke was sitting at the table working
on her new line.
"Mom, I'm leaving." Sam said heading for the door.
"Alright, have fun." Brooke said looking up at Sam smiling as she watched her walk out the door.
Sam grabbed her skateboard and headed towards the coffee shop. She reached the door and hopped off her skateboard
and opened the door heading to "her" table. She slid in the booth. She turned when she heard the door open. Standing up she walked into
the arms of her best friend.
"I've missed you Sammy." Jack said hugging her. They pulled away and sat down in the booth.
"I've missed you too. How's your new family?"
"It's great. They asked to adopt me. And I said yes, it should all be finalized in a few weeks."
Sam smiled, "Jack that's great."
"I know. I wish I didn't live so far away."
Sam looked down at the table. "Yea, I wanted to talk about, you know, the kiss."
Jack looked up at Sam. "About that. Sam we've been friends for a long time. I don't think we should have one kiss
ruin our friendship. I think we should just stick with friends."
"Same here. Let's get out of here." She said standing up and grabbing his arm dragging him out of the coffee shop. They walked
all over town, talking about everything that each other has missed. It was getting dark out and Sam knew if she didn't get home soon Brooke would kill her.
"I had fun today, but it's getting late my mom will kill me if I don't get home soon."
"Mom huh?" Jack said.
"Yes you moron."
"I was playing around. But I'll see ya tomorrow for breakfast." Sam nodded and the turned away heading in opposite directions. Sam walked in
the front door with a smile on her face.
Brooke and Julian turned from where they were watching a movie on the couch. "Did you have fun?"
"Yea, I missed him." Sam said sitting on the arm of the chair. "What movie are you watching?"
"27 dresses." Brooke said.
Sam stood up, "Gross, I'm going to go to bed. I've had a long day."
"Night." Brooke and Julian said together.
The next morning Sam woke up before Brooke and Julian so she could go meet Jack. She quietly walked out into the kitchen and set a note down on the counter, telling them where she was. Walking slowly to the door she left without making a sound. Walking into the coffee shop she saw
Jack sitting in their booth waiting on her.
"Morning." She said sitting down.
"I got you a coffee." Jack said sliding a cup to her. "Thanks."
"Today's my last day, and then I gotto go back."
"I know." Sam said pouring way too much sugar into her cup of coffee. "Let's make it a good day then."
They ordered breakfast and after they ate headed out to the river court. They sat on the bleachers for hours talking, making every moment last.
Around 5 a car pulled up in the parking lot and beeped it's horn. "Well they're here." Jack said standing up and climbing down the bleachers.
Sam waved to his parents as they waved out the window. "I guess this is it." Sam said.
"Yea, but we'll see each other soon. I promise."
"OK. You better keep that promise Jack Daniels."
"I will." He said leaning in and hugging her. "Bye." Jack turned and walked away getting into the car. As Sam watched them drive off and wiped a small tear
that was running down her cheek.
"Hey, Sampson. How was your day with Jack?" Julian asked as Sam walked in the door and sat down at the counter as he made dinner.
"Good, he left already though."
"I'm sorry kid. But look at it this way. Now that you have nothing to do, you can hang out with me."
Sam looked around the room, "Where's Mom?"
"At the store."
Sam nodded, "Ok, I guess a spending a day with your dad doesn't sound to bad."
"Alright, well in advance I bought a ton of junk food."
"Sounds good to me. "
"Good, now can you grab some plates, dinner is almost ready." Sam did as she was told.
She was setting the table when she stopped and looked at Julian, "Dad, you're going to do a new movie soon right?"
Julian looked up from where he was making a sub for the two of them. "Yea., at least I hope so. It's just every script I read I'm not inspired. I don't really feel like I believe in myself."
"I believe in you. You're great at your job. I mean I've seen good movies but the ones you work on are by far the best."
"Thanks Sampson. It means a lot."
"Anytime."
"OK, I think it's ready. We got a ham sub with lettuce, tomato, onion, mayo, cheese and some other little things thrown in." Julian said placing a sandwich on Sam's plate. They ate dinner while talking, enjoying each others company.
At the store
"Hello Brooke." Victoria said walking in up to her daughter's desk where she was sketching.
"Hello." Brooke said not looking up from her drawing.
"What is it you wanted to talk to me about?" Victoria asked sitting down.
"OK, I never thought I would say this but I think that splitting the company could be a good thing."
Victoria smiled, "I am glad you finally came to your senses."
"Don't get too excited just yet. I get 52% you get 48%."
"What about 50/50?"
"You should be glad I am giving you any at all. I need help around here, really in New York. And I think that you are the one that can help with that. We have that runway show coming up soon and I am going to need your help with that. So is it a deal?"
"Yes."
"Good, now the show is in 3 weeks. With the new line coming out, they are sending us a celebrity model, Alex Dupre. Me and Millie can handle that, you just do what you do best. Whatever that may be."
"Thanks, Brooke."
"Yea, don't make me regret it either." Victoria nodded and got up leaving Brooke back to her sketches.
Sam was jumping around the house, and could not keep still. "Sam, how much candy have you had exactly?"
"Um, 3 chocolate bars, 4 cans of pop and 2 bowls of ice cream."
Julian laughed, "In only and hour and a half."
"Yea." Sam said sitting on the back of the couch and sliding down it so she was hanging upside down. They heard a car door close and Sam flipped back over and stood in front of Julian.
"She is going to kill me for getting you so hyped up on sugar." Sam giggled as Brooke walked in the door. She set her stuff down on the couch slowly as she looked over at Sam who seemed awful smiley.
"What's going on?" Brooke asked walking into the room farther.
"Nothing, just hanging out." Julian said and Sam covered her mouth trying not to laugh.
"Ok, I need a drink." She said walking past them into the kitchen. Brooke walked into the kitchen and saw all the pop cans and candy wrappers lying all over the counter. "Really?" She said to Julian.
"Just having some fun, Brooke." Julian said grinning.
Sam stood there with her arms behind her back swaying back and forth. With all the sugar in her it was hard to stay still.
"Exactly how much of this, Sam, did you eat?" Brooke asked.
Sam looked at the counter and then back to Brooke, "All of it."
Brooke couldn't help but laugh a little. "Is there anymore?"
Sam nodded and walked over handing Brooke a candy bar. Brooke poured herself a glass of wine and took the candy from Sam. "Thanks." She sat down on the chair.
"Did she take the deal?" Julian asked grabbing a beer from the fridge.
"What deal?" Sam asked.
"Yes, she did I offered Victoria 48% of the company."
"Oh." Sam said turning away and running upstairs to the laundry room.
"If she gets sick tonight, you can deal with her" Brooke said pointing a finger at a laughing Julian.
"I think she will be ok. So Victoria actually took the deal. She didn't fight you for more?"
"She tried but I told her that she is lucky enough to get what I am offering her. I just really need her help with the fashion show coming up."
"Don't worry about the fashion show, it will go great." Julian said walking over to Brooke and wrapping his arms around her. He turned when he heard Sam come running down the stairs.
'What were you doing up there you goof?" Brooke asked.
"Have you ever got inside a sleeping bag and slid down the stairs?" Sam said quickly
"No." Brooke said amused by how much energy Sam had. Sam put her hands on her hip and ran into her room only to return a few minute later with her sleeping bag. She put the sleeping bag into the air and looked at them seriously. "Watch and learn."
"Sam, be careful." Brooke said as she watched her daughter climb the stairs. Sam sat inside the sleeping bag and slid down. Falling out of it when she landed at the bottom. She burst out laughing lying on the floor.
"I want to try" Julian said sounding like a little kid. Sam handed him the sleeping bag and he climbed up the stairs and got inside sliding down the stairs exactly like Sam had.
"I have to admit that is kind of fun." He said laughing.
"See, when I was in a girls home we would get bored and we tried this and that is what we did every rainy day" Brooke looked at Sam. She hated hearing about Sam's childhood just because she never had what every kid should have growing up.
"Alright, let me have a try." Brooke said and Sam jumped up and down clapping her hands. Brooke walked up the stairs and got into the sleeping bag. She slid down the stairs laughing the whole way down.
"Told you it was fun." Sam said helping Brooke up.
"Yea, I guess it was. How about we put in a movie, Sam you can choose." Sam nodded and got this look on her face, "And no scary, bloody or violent movies please."
"Darn it." Sam said walking away to the movie shelf. Sam picked out "Click" With Adam Sandler. They got seated on the couch cuddled up together as a family."
