Chapter 14 - Feeling Better?
Janet stood at the front door of Sam's house and continuously knocked but there was no answer. She walked around the back and knocked on the back door.
"Sam!"
Janet took a terracotta flower pot and faced it upside down so she could stand on it. She felt about on a high shelf for the spare key.
"There you are."
Janet grasped the key and jumped off the flower pot. She unlocked the door and walked into the kitchen and into the hallway. She stopped dead in her tracks when she entered the living room. She took in the sight of Sam curled up into Jack, both asleep.
"Jack."
Janet poked him on the shoulder.
"Jack"
"Im awake."
Jack opened his eyes and looked at Janet.
"How did you get in? I locked all the doors last night."
"Sam told me where the spare key for the backdoor is kept. Im aloud to use it whenever i don't get an answer."
Janet looked at Sam then back at Jack.
"Did you stay the night?"
"Yeah. Jonas gave Sam a scare last night."
Janet's face went a ghostly white.
"What happened?"
"Maybe we should talk about this somewhere else."
Janet nodded and pointed to the kitchen.
"Yeah."
Jack gently lifted Sam from his lap and lowered her gentally on the couch. He then followed Janet into the kitchen.
"Do you know where they keep the coffee?"
"Yeah."
Janet went into the cupboard and pulled out a jar of coffee.
"I'll make it. You look exhausted."
"I didn't want to sleep. I was scared that if i closed my eyes then Sam would be gone."
"What did Jonas do?"
"He played some rolling stones crap and made some crude remarks."
Janet looked at Jack.
"I can guess what those remarks were."
"Does her father and Mark know?"
"Only about the physical abuse such as the hitting but she never told them about the sexual abuse."
"She went through this alone."
"Not entirely. She had me but i wasn't much help."
Janet smiled sadly.
"Im sure Sam thought you were help."
Sam walked into the kitchen.
"Speak of the devil."
"Why didn't anyone wake me? Im going to be late for school."
"Sam we have almost 2 hours."
"I have to jog and have a shower."
Jack grabbed Sam.
"One it is not safe to go jogging with that physco out there and two you don't need to jog your figure is great."
"Really?"
Jack blushed.
"Yeah"
"Im going to go and grab a shower."
"I'll sort out your bag for you."
"Thanks Janet."
Sam walked off and Jack wrinkled his nose.
"She doesn't smell that bad"
"No but i do."
Janet smelt Jack.
"Yeah you do."
Jack smiled.
"Daniel lives next door doesn't he?"
"Yeah"
"I'll be right back with Danny boy."
Jack walked out and over to Daniel's.
(Daniel's house)
Jack knocked on Daniel's door. Daniel answered with his toothbrush in his mouth.
"Hi Jack."
Jack walked in.
"Im going to use your shower."
Jack smiled and walked upstairs into the bathroom.
"Ok-ay."
(Sam's house)
Sam walked down the stairs in a pink summer dress.
"Hey is this ok for school?"
Sam looked at Janet.
"Id wear it."
Sam smiled.
"I take that as a yes."
"Feeling better after a certain guy spent the night with you?"
Sam blushed brutally and had a goofy smiled plastered on her face.
"I take that as a yes."
"Where is he?"
"Daniel's"
(Daniel's house)
Jack walked out of the bathroom in a towel.
"Jack! my mum could walk out and see you like that"
"So...hey you're the same clothes size as me aren't you?"
"Close enough."
"Can i borrow your clothes?"
"Why can't you get your own?"
"Cause i spent the night at Sam's"
"You live just down the...you what?"
Daniel looked at Jack open mouthed.
"Don't look at me like that. Nothing happened."
Daniel chucked Jack a sweater and some pants.
"Now you're going out with Janet maybe she could get you into some fashion."
Daniel glared at Jack.
"Im sorry and i really appreciate this."
"By the way, you have that sweater on back to front."
(Sam's house)
"So when am i going to see your dress?"
"Do you want to come around tonight?"
"That would be so cool."
Jack and Daniel walked in the front door.
"Are they Daniel's clothes?"
"Im only wearing them for today. I didn't want to go home and face 20 questions off my mum."
Daniel looked at Janet.
"Are my clothes really that bad?"
"Im gonna take you shopping over the weekend."
Janet smiled and patted Daniel on the cheek.
"Maybe we should get going. I need to pick Teal'c up."
"And Kawalsky and Ferreti"
"I can't fit everyone in my car."
"I have an idea."
(School)
Everyone got out of the car.
"I'll get Kawalsky and Ferreti."
Jack walked around to the boot of his car and unlocked the door.
"Ferreti get your foot out of my face."
"Hey guys. Enjoy the ride?"
Kawalsky pulled himself out of the car.
"No!"
Ferreti fell out of the boot.
Sam smiled sympathetically at them.
"Im sorry guys. Me and Janet should of taken my car."
"Yes you should've."
Jack hit Ferreti.
"You have your own car."
"Sam!"
Sam sighed as she heard the familiar voice of Graham.
"and there's my day of freedom over."
Sam pulled Jack to one side.
"Thanks for last night and thanks for the ride. I guess you never though you'd be helping the local spoilt brat by being her rock."
"Hey you're not a spoilt brat and like i sad, I want to help."
"You help just by being here."
Jack smiled.
"I better go."
"To Graham"
"To Graham."
Sam brushed his arm and walked over to Graham.
(Side of School)
"It doesn't look like you're getting to her."
"Well, i didn't know Sammie had a bodyguard."
Anise looked at Jonas.
"Im gonna come up with a plan and don't worry i'll take care of the bodyguard."
Janet stood at the front door of Sam's house and continuously knocked but there was no answer. She walked around the back and knocked on the back door.
"Sam!"
Janet took a terracotta flower pot and faced it upside down so she could stand on it. She felt about on a high shelf for the spare key.
