Fear nothing
Chapter 28
"Phil?" Abi called as she ran into CID.
"Abi?"
"Have you found her?"
"Yeah, yeah we did."
"Thank you." She ran forward and hugged him tightly. "Thank you so much." She sobbed as tears escaped her eyes.
"I promised didn't I?" She smiled.
"Can I see her?"
"Yeah sure, follow me." Phil led her to the soft interview room and opened the door.
Sam's head snapped round as she heard the door creak, and let out a sigh of relief as she saw Phil. He stepped aside, allowing Abi to come in. She walked in slowly and sat down next to her.
"Mum, I was so worried." She cried as she engulfed her mother in a hug.
"Ok baby, I'm here now. Where have you been staying?"
"At grandma's."
"If it'll make you feel safer, you can stay at mine for a while, both of you." Phil offered.
"No, I've got to face the house sometime, I can't avoid it forever."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah, he's in custody, it'd be silly to be scared now."
"It wouldn't be silly Sam, you've been through a lot."
"I know, but it still scares me and I feel stupid."
"Do you want me to stay with you for a while?"
"Would you?"
"Of course." He pulled her into a hug. "I'll stay as long as you need or want me to."
"Thank you."
"Let's get you home yeah?"
"Yeah ok." She smiled, letting him lead her out of the station.
Phil walked into the lounge with 3 mugs of coffee and passed one to each of the women, which they thanked him for.
"Are you ok?"
"Better than I expected." She replied.
"I know it probably doesn't feel like home right now, but it will with time."
"I know, I've just got to look to the future now."
"Right, the future's going to be great, I know it is."
"I know, I love you."
"I love you too." He said, pulling her into a loose hug, not wanting to hurt or scare her.
"It's fine." She said, guessing his thoughts. He took this as the go ahead and pulled her slightly closer. "This is nice." She said a while later. "Just sitting here."
"Yeah, it is."
"We should do this more often. I could just fall asleep like this."
"You can if you want. I don't mind."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah." He lay back on the sofa so she could lie on his chest. She snuggled into him as he wrapped his arms around her tightly and started to drift off into a light sleep.
Sorry about the wait, exams are hell, but my last one was last week so hopefully I will be able to ud more often from now. Please review. Luv Sam xxx
