Mark looked at the dvds that Sam and dad had picked to celebrate her being home.
"Mean girls, Moulin rouge...These are all chick flicks."
"Sams night. Sams choice."
Sam smiled as her brother tried to decide which dvd to watch.
"Sandra Bullock is pretty hot and i guess it's the least chick flickish of them all."
Mark inserted into the dvd player and jumped back into the chair.
"Happy to be home kiddo?"
"You bet. It just feels strange not being surrounded by any of my friends."
Mark laughed.
"Is there a certain friend you'd like to be with right now?"
Sam threw a pillow at him.
"Shut-up."
Jacob laughed at the scene unfolding before him. He had missed major parts in his childrens life but these are the moments he'd rather witness.
"You could ring Jack if you want."
"Why do you guys instantly presume there's something between me and Jack?"
"Because you two hang on each others words and actions whenever you're together."
"So what you're saying is we're just like you and Elizabeth Weir?"
Now the pillow came back and hit Sam.
"There is nothing going on between me and Liz."
"Yeah right. So you being the only one who's allowed to call her Liz means there's nothing between you two?"
"We're just friends."
"oh please! You two were the biggest enemies ever and now you're both willing to drop anything at any moment to be with each other."
Mark mumbled and crawled back into his shell.
"Your brother is right Sam. There is something going on between you and Jack.."
Sam was about to protest.
"But there is also something going on between Mark and Elizabeth."
Before anyone had a chance to argue the phone began to ring.
"I'll get it."
Mark got up and grabbed the phone.
"Hello."
"Hi. Is Sam there?"
Mark smiled and walked into the living room.
"She's right in front of me Jack."
Sam looked at Mark at the mention of Jacks name.
"Give me the phone."
Mark started backing away
"Could i speak to her?"
"She's a little tied up at the moment Jack."
Sam tripped Mark up and grabbed the phone before he hit the ground.
"Hi Jack."
"Sam. Are you allowed out of the house?"
"I guess. Why?"
"Fancy going for a drive?"
"Hang on a sec."
Sam placed the phone against her neck and smiled at her dad.
"You want to go out?"
"Please. It's only for a drive and it's with Jack."
Sam used her puppy eyes and pout.
"Back by 11 and i mean pm not am."
"Love you."
Sam brought the phone back up to her ear.
"A drive would be great."
"Can you be ready in 10?"
"I'll be ready in 5. Bye."
Sam hung up the phone and threw her arms around Jacob.
"Thank you so much."
Sam ran up to her bedroom to grab her shoes.
(Jacks Car)
"Are we there yet?"
"No and don't you dare think about taking that blind fold off."
"Can you at least put a cd on?"
Jack smiled as Sam tried to find the play button blinded.
"Here, allow me."
Still a little bit of your taste in my mouth,
Still a little bit of you laced with my doubt,
Still a little hard to say what's going on
"I love Damien Rice."
"It's my mums album. She borrowed my car whilst i was at school today and i can't find my Linkin Park album."
"You should listen to Damien Rice. He's a musical genius."
"Don't push it."
Still a little bit of your ghost your witness Still a little BIT of your face I haven't kissed You step a little closer EACH DAY Still I can't SAY what's going on
"Ok. We're here."
Sam went to remove the blind fold.
"But you can't take that off yet."
Jack got out of his car and walked around to the passengers side and helped Sam out.
"Careful."
"It would be easier if i could see."
"Let me guide you."
Jack walked into the building holding Sams hand.
"Im going to pick you up now."
"Why?"
Jack swept Sam off her feet.
"Because of the stairs."
Shivers went down Sams spine as she could feel the warmth of Jacks breath on her neck.
"Ok."
Jack waved to the band that was formed on the stage. He helped Sam to a chair. He left her and stood centre on stage with a guitar and mic.
"Ok. Now you can take the blind fold off."
Sam removed the blind fold and burst out laughing.
"What's this?"
"This is my old band. We're called Asguard and this is the club where we used to play."
Sam looked around.
"There aren't any people. Not much of a club."
"I rented it for the night. This is your surprise. Now you must understand that we never wrote any of our own music because we couldn't be bothered."
The boys behind Jack laughed.
"So, i asked Janet what some of your fave songs are and we're going to attempt to play them for you."
Sam blushed as Jack adjusted the mic stand.
"Ok. Ladies and Gentlemen the first song Asguard are going to perform for you is called 'somewhere out there.'"
Last time I talked to you You were lonely and out of place You were looking down on me Lost out in space Laid underneath the stars Strung out and feeling brave Watch the riddles glow Watch them float away
Sam tapped her foot to the sound of the drums.
Down here in the atmosphere Garbage and city lights You gotta save your tired soul You gotta save our lives Turn on the radio To find you on satellite I'm waiting for the sky to fall I'm waiting for a sign All we are is all so far
Jacks edgy voice fitted the song perfectly. Jacks brown eyes connected with Sams eyes.
You're falling back to me The star that I can't see I know you're out there Somewhere out there
Sam closed her eyes and began to appreciate Jack's voice singing the meaningful lyrics.
You're falling out of reach Defying gravity I know you're out there Somewhere out there
(2 Hours later)
"Well, im going to let my good friend Elliott take over on vocals whilst a dance with a certain lovely lady."
Jack stepped off stage and pulled Sam out of her chair.
"You are a man of many hidden talents. Next you're going to tell me you travel to other planets."
"Actually i was going to tell you that sometime in the future."
Sam smiled and rested her head on Jack's shoulder as they began to dance to the music.
Would you know my name If I saw you in heaven Will it be the same If I saw you in heaven
"You know i never figured you as an Eric Clapton fan. I thought you'd be a Bon Jovi fan."
"I am a Bon Jovi fan but i was brought up on Eric Clapton."
I must be strong, and carry on Cause I know I don't belong Here in heaven
"How can such a depressing song be so romantic?"
Sam brushed a finger up and down Jacks neck.
"He wrote it for his son. It's not about a relationship between to lovers its about a relationship between to close family members."
Jack silently took in what Sam was saying and placed a stronger hold on Sam bringing them closer together.
Would you hold my hand If I saw you in heaven Would you help me stand If I saw you in heaven I'll find my way, through night and day Cause I know I just can't stay Here in heaven
"I want to go to prom with you."
"What about Graham?"
"What about you?"
Jack pulled away from Sam but still kept a hold on her. They still danced but he wanted to see her face.
"Are you sure?"
"After this? Im positive."
Jack leaned in for a kiss.
Cause I know I don't belong Here in heaven
The songs i used in this chapter are 'Damien Rice - Cannonball' , 'Our Lady peace - Somewhere Out There' and finally 'Eric Clapton - Tears In Heaven.'
