Summary: Sam goes through the trial and tribulations of High School meanwhile trying to manage a social life, magical powers and demons and trying to help out with things around the Manor.
**************************************************************************** ***************
Piper and Leo burst through the front door of the Manor to find Sam looking intently at her pager, packing back and forth breathing heavily.
"Oh god. Oh god" She kept muttering.
"Sam?" Piper asked
"Oh god. Oh god." Sam kept whispering and pacing.
"Sam?" Piper asked again, but Sam didn't stop.
Piper stood in front of Sam and stopped her from pacing any more. She carefully removed the pager from Sam's hands.
"It's time to come home - Adam Chance." Piper read the message. "Adam Chance?"
"Your last foster parents?" Leo spoke.
Sam nodded.
"Why would they be telling you to come home if they kicked you out?"
"Because I got better." Sam stated. "They must not know that you guys adopted me or took me back or whatever the hell it's called!"
"It's okay, Sam. Just calm down!"
"No, it's not! I have to focus on the trial right now! I can't handle this! Not now!"
"Then don't!" Piper stated "For now, we'll just ignore it okay?"
Sam nodded and sighed. "I'm going to bed". Sam orbed to her bedroom.
Piper looked at Leo and they both sighed. "What are we going to do?" Leo asked
"I don't know" Piper admitted
**************************************************************************** ***************
A couple hours had passed by now and Sam walked out of her bedroom looking refreshed and ready to face the world.
"I'm ready" She told Piper and Leo as she walked into the kitchen.
"Okay, well you're not testifying today right?" Leo asked
"Nope. Alyssa and my doctor are though."
"Okay, let's go" Piper spoke.
**************************************************************************** ***************
Leo, Sam and Piper arrived in Piper's jeep at the court house and they all jumped out and went inside.
The trial was soon underway and Alyssa was testifying first.
"I met Brian when I was in seventh grade. It was a little bit before he met Sam."
"What enticed him about you?" Brian and Joey's lawyer asked
"I'm not sure I understand your question" Alyssa responded
"Let me rephrase that for you then. What attracted you towards Brian? His looks maybe? or were you interested in trying drugs? Some of your friends know him and you met through them? What happened that led to your introduction?"
"My friend at the time - Sarah Lewis knew Brian. I didn't know that Sarah was into drugs and stuff and I met Brian through her."
"How could you not know that your friend was on drugs?"
"I never said we were tight friends, just that we WERE friends. There's a difference. We were school friends happy? Didn't see much of each other outside of school until I was out one night, taking a walk and I saw Sarah. I said hi to her and she was with her brother Kyle and Brian. Brian was real nice to me and invited him to a party he was having two nights from then. A Friday. I said I'd try to show up. Which I did."
"And then what happened?" The lawyer dug deeper
"I arrived at the party, Sarah, Kyle, Joey and Brian were already there. Sarah introduced me to Joey who was setting food and stuff up. Soon Thomas Hill arrived and he brought the drugs and beer Brian asked him to hang onto because Thomas parents were out of town a lot. Thomas usually held onto everything for us. I caved to peer pressure. I'm getting help now"
"Nothing further you honor" The lawyer stopped and Alyssa was excused from the bench.
**************************************************************************** ***************
"Dr. Bartch" Kim started "Could you please state for the court, everything you treated Samantha Matthews-Halliwell for on the night she was brought into the ER?"
"Of course" The doctor replied. "She was brought in late into the night, an ambulance had picked her up after a anonymous call went into 911. I took her into surgery. She had a fractured nose, her lip was split open several times which needed stitches. Her right lung was on the verge of collapsing, couple of nearly broken ribs, she suffered a miscarriage and then there were bruises and cuts covering most of her neck, face, stomach, back and her head."
"How long did it take Miss. Matthews-Halliwell to recover from these injuries?"
"The ribs weren't broken so it just required her to refrain from any sport activities for a bit, there were about three stitches put into her side for the reason and because we had to remove the beginning of her infant. The stitches stayed in for about a week. The stitches in her lip fell out on their own within about a week and a half. Miss. Matthews-Halliwell stayed in bed for about two days before she was able to walk and move without much pain."
"Would you say taking into consideration everything that happened to her Samantha Matthews-Halliwell was lucky?"
"Yes. Very." The doctor said stone-faced. "Very lucky indeed. I was actually surprised to find out she didn't suffer brain damage."
"Would you say she was lucky to even survive?"
"Yes. I would"
Joey, Brian and their lawyer all sighed at this comment. It was going to be hard for them to come back after that.

Hey everyone - I want to finish this story. I want to get started on the next and final part of the series because I have really good ideas for it! So any ideas would be really helpful from here! (Ideas involving the case, like questions Brian's lawyer could ask anybody or just anything like that!) Thanks everyone for your patience for this chapter!
