Disclaimer…only own Samantha
Chapter 8
***
Samantha had gone to a clearing in the woods that her and Auggie had found when she was here on her first visit. It was not too far from the camp, but far enough that no one would see or hear her cry.
She was crouched down, low to the ground, her tears falling like raindrops from the heavens above. She didn't know what she was going to do. She wanted to leave Horizon, but didn't have any place to go. She didn't want to go back to her dad, back to the hell. She didn't want to go live with a friend again either. That was too hard for her, seeing her friend and her friend's parent's relationships grow closer and closer, while her and her dad's grew farther and farther apart. She didn't want to go back onto the streets either. That was one of the worse things she could think to do and she knew she didn't have the money to make it.
Her tears began to slow, but her thoughts continued on as rapidly as they had before. 'What am I going to do? I can't run and Auggie doesn't love me anymore. I can't stay here. Everyone is mad at me, even Peter. Why did I even come here? I shouldn't have. It was a bad choice. I should have just put up with my dad a little longer. Maybe if I had he would have killed me, like he did… Oh, don't think about that, but if he did then I wouldn't be in this position. I wouldn't be siting here, crying, and I wouldn't know that my only love doesn't love me anymore. I should have never came back here.'
Samantha's thoughts were interrupted by a slight crackle of branches off in the distance. She moved out of the clearing behind a tree, where she would be able to see who had come, but whoever it was would not be able to see her. Her crying had ceased and she waited in silence and wonderment to see who was coming to her secret place.

Samantha began to hear the voices off in the distance; they were low whispers at first. They grew louder the closer they got. She finally realized who they were. It was Auggie and Juliette. 'How could he bring her here? How could he bring her to our place to one of our secret places? I can't believe this.'
Samantha watched as they sat down on the soft damp ground. They said a few words and before Samantha realized what was happening they were getting closer and closer. Their lips met and Samantha felt her heart drop to her stomach. 'I can't watch this,' she thought to herself and within an instant they were stopped by another twig snapping. It was like a wish had been granted.
Peter came from the same direction, which they had come from. "What are you two doing out here? You better get back to the camp, I don't like it when you guys go off and wander around here by yourselves. You could get lost and we don't want that."
"Yeah, okay. We'll be right there," answered Auggie.
Auggie got up and helped Juliette to her feet. Their hands joined as one and they walked off following Peter back to the camp.
Samantha rose too. She followed them at a safe distance making sure that they would not know that she was there. When they finally reached the camp Auggie and Jules headed toward the dinning hall. It was lunchtime and Samantha wasn't very hungry. She headed back to the girls' room.

Samantha got to the room and lied down on her bed. 'Well, what do I do now? I don't think I can take this anymore. I just want to go away, leave and never come back. All I do is cause trouble. No one even wants me here.' She reached down to into her bag that was under her bed. She pulled it out, opened it, and pulled out her walkman. A shiny white bottle caught her attention. She tentatively put her hand back into the bag. 'What am I doing? It's not worth it.' But she couldn't really convince herself of these things. 'I just want to be out of my misery.'
