Chapter 6
"Will your mom be home when you get there" Jason asked as they were almost to Sam's
"No, she should be at work"
Five minutes later they were walking up the stairs and Sam was unlocking the door. She went inside and looked around, her mom wasn't there. Which was all the better, she really didn't need another fight today. Especially with Jason here.
"You can sit down, I'm just going to get some clothes and things I really need. I can come back again some other time to get anything else I'll need, I won't be long." she said heading down the hall towards her bedroom.
Sam went into her closet and got out her duffel bag. She was just going to take her essentials. She took 5 outfits, her make up, a couple books, her journal, a few cd's and a few random things she saw while gathering her stuff.
Ten minutes later she walked into the living room and saw Jason looking at some pictures.
"Hey, I'm done. Where did you get those" she asked when she saw it was an old family album.
"Oh I'm sorry, it was sitting on the table, I couldn't help myself I wanted to see some pictures of a younger you" he said with a smile on his face.
"It's not a problem I was just wondering why it was out, It's usually kept in a cabinet. I guess mom was looking at it last night." she said kind of absent mindedly
"Are you sure you don't want to wait around and see if maybe you guys can work this out." Jason asked while putting his hand on her shoulder.
"No, I've had enough of her. It'll be the same thing. she'll either apologize or pretend like nothing happens, then within a week we'll be fighting like this again. I just need to get away from her for awhile."
"Alright, are you ready to go then" He asked while he put the album back on the table and stood up.
"Yeah I'm all set, but I might have to come back in a few days. I know I'll end up forgetting something."She said while she walked towards the door.
"Thats fine"
An hour later Sam was putting her things away. She was going to stay in the extra bedroom. It wasn't anything fancy but it was more then what she needed. Just knowing that she was going to be there with Jason made everything feel right. Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard Jason softly knock at the door before he came in.
"Hey, did you get everything put away. " he asked
"Yeah I'm just finishing up now."
"Thats good. You know eventually Your going to have to meet my family, and as much as I'd like to spare you from them Its inevitable. They'll see you coming and going from here and it would just be alot easier if we went and told them. "
"Yeah, your right. It would be easier if we went and told them ourselves. They wont get mad at me staying here will they?" she asked suddenly wondering if maybe staying there wasn't the best idea
"No they won't. I'm sure they'll all love you. Well I wouldn't count on Tracy. If I were you I wouldn't pay much attention to anything she says, she really liked to pass judgement to other people."
"Ok, I'm just going to get changed and then we can go tell them"
"Ok sounds great." with that said he left her room and went to the living room so she could change.
Twenty minutes later they were at the Quartermaine mansion. Jason had told the maid Alice to go and get his parents. Within a few minutes Alan, Monica and Emily were walking into the living room where Jason and Sam were waiting.
"Mom, dad , Emily this is Sam.She's a uh good friend of mine. Sam this is my mom, dad and sister Emily ."
"Hi, It's nice to meet all of you" Sam said trying to hide her nervousness
"Hi, nice to meet you to" They all said pretty much in unison.
"Sam's going to be staying with me for awhile" he said wanting to get this over with
"What? Don't you think that is too soon, I mean you just introduced us" Monica said not approving of this
"It's not what you guys think. Were just friends, she's staying with me because her and her mother don't get along and she doesn't want to live with her anymore. I told her she could stay with me."
"What about your father?" Alan asked
"I haven't talked to him in over four years. I don't get along with either one of my parents, Its kind of complicated actually."
"Well Its fine with me, I'm glad you offered her a place to stay. I hope to see more of you around here Sam" Monica said. She still wasn't sure about this while situation but she could tell things at home weren't good for Sam and was glad Jason was going to help her.
"Yes, I hope we will see more of you around to Sam" Alan said
"I think its a great idea, I agree with mom and dad I can't wait to get to know you better." Emily said
"Well, we better get going, we just wanted to stop by and let you guys know."Jason said as he started towards the door.
"Bye" Sam said as she followed Jason.
"Well that wasn't to bad" Sam said as they were on their way back to Jason's
"Your just lucky the whole family wasn't home. It wouldn't have been nearly as easy. It'll be bad enough whenever Tracy finds out."Jason said as he opened the door.
It had been two weeks since Sam moved in with Jason. Things had been going great. Sam had only once gone back home to get some more things. she hadn't yet talked to her mom. She made sure there was no way of her finding out where she was. When she was ready she would talk to her. Jason had been right, when Tracy found out about Sam living there she was less then thrilled. She thought Jason had gotten Sam pregnant and even though they told her over and over that Sam wasn't pregnant she still kind of believed it. Everyone else had accepted it.
Sam had also grown closer to Emily. She was only in grade 9 but she was only a year younger then Sam, he birthday was in the beginning of February so she had started school late. She found she had alot in common with her. Sam hadn't spent much time with the rest of the Family. She occasionally saw Alan Monica and Edward. She had only seen Tracy once since she accused Jason of getting her pregnant, and she'd only saw Dillon once when Emily was babysitting him. He was only 5, and he was a cuttie.
She'd been pretty busy with her school work and also trying to spend as much time with her friends and other family a she could. She'd only been able to see her grandmother and aunt twice but called them more frequently. She'd grown really close with Jason. She often found herself thinking about him when she should be doing other things. Her feelings for him were growing much deeper then friendship.
Over the past two weeks Jason had never been happier. He loved having Sam around, he made this place feel like a home. From the night when Sam had come to his door his feeling for her began to change from friendship to wanting more. Sam had never really seemed to show any interest in anything more so he just kept his feelings to himself.
"I'm going to head into bed, Good night" Sam said as she put aways her Math homework.
"Good night Sam" he said noticing how beautiful she looked in her tank top and pajama bottoms. He'd been noticing alot of things like that about her lately.
An hour later as he as walking by Sam room he noticed that she was still awake. She always slept with the door opened a little. She had told him she didn't like to feel as though she was trapped in the room.
Sam hadn't been able to fall asleep, she had been thinking about Jason and her feelings towards him. They were becoming stronger and stronger everyday, she didn't know what to do with them. She had noticed a shadow on her wall, she turned over and looked at Jason who was standing in the doorway.
"Hey, Do you mind if I come in, theres something I want to talk to you about."
"Yeah sure, I'm not tired, and there something I'd like to talk to you about to. " she said sitting up. It was about time she did something with these feelings of hers.
