It was late at night and all throught the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. Oh! Sorry. Wrong story. "Iris...Want me to walk you home? To your family?" Sam asked looking away as his mother and father sat in the kitchen. His mother,Lucy,was having a nervous break down and went into the kitchen withher ex husband, Jack. Iris looked at Sam sadly and said," I...don't have a family. They were all killed in the storm. They were in new york, at some library. That's all I heard. Sam looked at her in a sad way. He couldn't believe that her parents were in the library as well.
"Do..you know what happened?" Sam asked "Well..your friend brian said that you guys watched all of these people leave out of the library and die." She looked away. "I'm...sorry. I tried to stop everyone but, they wouldn't listen." he said as if he was the guilty person who told them to go. "I know. It's alright. My parents were stuborn. Always they ones to follow the crowd." She laughed. "You can stay here if you want. I mean...you don't have to. I can walk you to a hotel or something...or maybe there is some place you..." Iris cut him off. "No..I'll stay...if your parents are okay with that." She said looking at Lucy and Jack.
"They'll be fine. They sortof owe you for helping me and not charging them anything."he said laughing. "What here...I'll ask them." he stood up and walked away. As soon as he did, Iris began to think to herself. I can't believe this is happening. The first time I fall in love and the world wants to end! But...yet...I feel as if the world is just beginning when I'm around Sam. As if...I will live for ever. He makes me feel so good to be alive. I hope that we can out live this storm. Oh please let us out live this storm. She rubbed the goose bumps on her arm. She looked at the door to the kitchen, hoping that Sam came out and smiled happily.
"Dad...Iris has no where to go and I was wondering if she could stay here." Sam asked "Sam...I...think it would be best if she was with her family." Jack said looking at his son. "But..she doesn't have a family. They died in the storm in newyork." Sam said, hurting inside. "Oh my gosh!" Lucy exclaimed "I can't believe it. I think she should stay her with us Jack. She seems nice and she is Sam's girlfriend." she looked at Sam. He turned away, blushing, and rubbed the back off his neck. "All right. She'll sleep in your room." Jack said looking at him. Sam looked up. "Um...and you go in the living room...I guess." Jack added as he saw Sam blushing harder. Sam came out of the kitchen blushing still and smiled to Iris. "You can stay." he said smirking.
