In Joy and Sorrow Chapter 6

"Sami?" Bam said. He was standing next to the couch. She looked over at him, wiping her tears away.
"Yeah?" she asked.
"What's that?" He pointed at the silver ring on her finger.
"Something from someone special to me." "Really? Who"
"It's a secret." Bam was taken aback by this. She usually told him anything and everything.
"Oh..okay." he said, not trying to sound disappointed. Sami slowly got up and gave Bam a hug.

"What's this for?" he asked.
"I love you. You're one of the greatest things that's happened to me, ever." Bam blushed. "Aww, you're blushing." "No, I'm not." he said, blushing even more. Sami just laughed and playfully punched him in the stomach. He smirked and pushed her on the couch. He started to tickle her sides.

"Aaah! Noo! Stop! I'm ticklish!" she said, howling with laughter.
"What's the magic word?" he said.
"Erm...please?" He stopped tickling her and lied next to her on the couch, sighing in exaustion.

"I'm so tired." he said.
"Same here. Where's Katie?" "She went to sleep in the guest room." Sami nodded and turned over. Bam put his arm around her and closed his eyes. He kissed her on the back of the head and went to sleep. Before taking a nap, Sami looked at the ring on her hand. She knew that from this day on, she would do her best not to let Novak down. She wouldn't steal shit, or do drugs (especially heroin) because if Novak were alive, he would be very disappointed in her. She kissed the ring again and went to sleep.

a few hours later

Sami woke up on the couch, still in sleeping Bam's arms. She was comfortable like this but she had to get up and walk around and get something to eat. She slowly lifted his arm up and slithered (Chad XD) out from his grip. She walked down to the Pirate Bar and opened up the refridgerator.

"Hmm...what the hell is in here?" she asked herself, looking in the drawers and on the shelves. She closed the refridgerator door in frustration and opened the freezer.

"Oooh, pizza. You always liked that for dinner, right?" a voice said. Sami turned around.
"Whoa...what the fuck? Novak?" Sami replied to the transparent figure talking to her. It nodded and went over to her. He hugged her tightly. "I missed you so fucking much, it's not even funny." she said.

"I know. I did too. I see you got the ring." Novak looked down into Sami's tear-filled eyes. "Yeah...I got the note too." She patted the right pocket of her jeans. "I'm sorry you had to find out what happened to me, the way that you did." "What happened? Who stabbed you?" Novak sighed. "Do you really want to know?" he asked, holding onto Sami's hands. She nodded. "I would tell you but...I don't want you telling Bam or anything because he would ask you how you knew and get into that shit. And I don't want you hurting someone or yourself"
"Come on, Nov. Just spill it!" Novak sighed once again.
"You're mom's boyfriend." he said, quietly. Sami's grip on his hand tightened. "Please, Sami...don't do anything stupid"
"That fucking God damn son of a mother fucking dick ass cunt. Shitty pissfaced little fat fuck..." Sami mumbled every curse word in the book in a matter of 10 seconds.
"Damn, Sami." Novak said, laughing. "Why? Why in the fucking hell would he do that to you?" She nearly started to cry again, mostly out of anger.
"He came over to Castle Bam and I was in the Pirate Bar getting a beer and he knocked on the door. I went over and answered it and he wanted to know where Bam was. I said that he was out with you. He asked me where you guys went and I said that I couldn't tell you cause I thought he was some random stalker fan who was wanting to get like autographs or something and he got all pissed and told me who he was. I got pissed off at him for tracking you down and I punched him in the face and he took out a knife and chased me down with it until I got into the Pirate Bar and got stabbed...I think Kat called the ambulance. No one else was hear and you're mom's dickhead boyfriend ran off. No one found him..." Sami's jaw dropped.

"Wow. I can't belive...someone would ever do something like that to you. You died...for...me?" she asked. He nodded.
"Like I said, you're like my little sister. You're the coolest person I know. I love you." He kissed her on the cheek and suddenly looked up. "Oh, damn. I have to go. I'll be back soon. Don't worry"
"Wha? You have to"
"Yeah. Just...just dream about be, and I'll be there tonight, okay?" Sami nodded and Novak disappeared. She went back upstairs and sat on the couch next to the groggy Bam.

"Hey, Sam." he said, patting her on the head.
"Hi, Bammi." she replied, sniffing. He looked down and wiped the sleep out of his eyes.
"What's wrong, hun"
"It's just...Novak." She almost started talking about what had happened downstairs. Bam nodded as if to say he understood and stood up. "Um...Bam, I'm gonna go for a walk, okay? I'll be back by dinner."

"Okay, hun. I'll be here when you come home." Bam said, going downstairs. Sami went upstairs and changed into her black Viva La Bam shirt and dark blue jeans. She ran outside and started towards Kat's house.
