Chapter 4: Insecure Bickering
Austin and Lucas were sitting at the Pub having lunch the next day. They barely said anything to each other when they came inside the Pub. Lucas sat there reading everything that Sami wrote and he started remembering everything that she told him. It left a raw feeling in his stomach and yet he was glad that Sami did it for him. He was also angry with her for leaving his son without a mother. He knew that Carrie could never be a mother to Will because Will won't let her. He knew that Will was at the stage of the rebellious teenager and his son needed his mother. Just like Sami to leave when things get rough and tiresome.
"It's just like Sami to pull some shit like this." Lucas said as he continued eating his sandwich.
"What are talking about?" Austin said as he looked up from the newspaper.
"Sami leaving… she is doing the same thing that she was doing then she is doing it now."
"Doing what Lucas? Trying to get a grip on her life before she ends up in a mental hospital or yet in a grave."
"She is always running away from the problems that she causes."
"She has been fighting with our mother for how long Lucas?"
"I don't know…fifteen years."
"Don't you think people get tired of fighting with someone for that long."
"When did you ever get on the Sami bandwagon?"
"When I found out that you and Sami was getting married."
"How did that change your mind about Sami?"
"Damn it Lucas, you didn't try to change her; you knew that there was good in Sami and you saw it. You fought her stubbornness and protected her from whom she needed to be protected from. I couldn't do that and Brandon couldn't do that either. I couldn't protect Sami from herself and my mother, because I believed that my mother was saint. Brandon had not been in Salem that long to protect her from you and mother. Brandon loved Sami but yet he cheated on her. I loved Sami, but I wanted her to be too much like Carrie. You loved Sami for Sami, there is nothing that Sami could put past you expect for being Stan. Sami's biggest problems are…"
" Her insecurities and ourmother." Lucas realized that as his mother walked into the Pub. She noticed her sons sitting at a table, so she went to the table and joined them.
"How are my wonderful sons doing today?" Kate smiled as she took a seat next to Lucas
"I'm doing fine, Mom." Austin said and Lucas just looked at her with no remark.
"Lucas, is there something wrong."
"Yeah, you hit my son. If you ever do that again, do you ever worry about me ever again in life because you will be dead to me for good."
"Sweetie, I'm so sorry. I let my anger get the better than me. That girl got that boy brainwash."
"No she doesn't. She don't even talk about you with him." My son is not naïve, he knows what's going on around him."
"But he actually stood up to me about his mother."
"Shouldn't he, I mean that is his mother."
"Lucas…"
"Don't even go there, I protect you, murder for you, and you could not let me be happy with the woman I love could you?"
"But now you are happy with Carrie, aren't you?"
"Yes, and no, because of my son misery."
"I'm not the one who told you to move on with Carrie."
"Of course not, you just push along the way because if I went back to Sami and work all this mess out. You be right now trying scheme again."
"Austin, help me out here."
"Nope, Mom I must say you brought this on yourself. If you left things as it was. Everyone would have been very happy right now, then worrying about a beautiful woman who had the fire to fight and the power to love; who up and just left."
"So you are saying this my fault."
"Yes." Austin and Lucas said as they starred at their mother shock look on their mother's face.
"I can not believe this, she turned you both against me." Kate said as she looked at her sons
"No she didn't, we are not against you. We are trying to show you what you are doing in people's lives." Austin said as he took her hand and he began to rub it in a weird way. She knew that rub and didn't like it, it reminded her of Austin and Billie's father Curtis Reed. "There are two women that disappeared on me with a letter like this, her name is Angela Horton and she never returned. Now Sami has disappeared and if she doesn't return because you had something to do with it like Angela; you don't have to worry about losing me because you will already lost me for the rest of our lives."
Lucas even looked at Austin with a shock. He never saw Austin like that, with such coldness with a tent of eeriness; that made his skin crawl. He looked at his mother she was as pale as she just saw a ghost of Curtis Reed. All Lucas could do was keep his mouth shut and continue to watch the show. Kate could not believe her eyes, she saw Curtis in Austin's face. She was not going to let him scare her like that. She looked at her son eyes and put her other hand on top of his.
"Look Austin, I don't understand what Sami did to you to get you on her side after all that she did to you. But I'm not going sit here let you threaten me about something I don't know about which is Sami or this Angela." Kate said as she stood up and began to walk out the door, but Austin grabbed her by the wrist.
"Remember what I said mother, if I find out that you had something to do this; you will be a very lonely woman." Austin said it with a little menacing whisper. Austin let go of her wrist and Kate walked out the Pub.
"Bro, that was kind of creepy." Lucas said after he watched his mother leave.
"I know but it had to be done. I have a feeling that shit is about to get deep."
"Meaning?"
"Mom is going to try to break us up."
"How?"
"She brought Brandon back didn't she."
"He's in London."
"But he loved and still loves Sami and this will be the best time for him to come back to Salem."
"Shit."
"It will be freezing in Hell before I let anyone come between me and Sami. The question is will Sami let me in and giveus a try."
While they were continuing talking in the Pub, Kate was outside she stared in the pub at her sons. She could not believe that Austin threatens her like that. She vowed that if Sami came back to Salem she would make life living hell. She is going to keep that Bitch away from her son if it is the last thing she does.
Sami walked into her new living room and saw Brandon sitting on the couch with a look that could kill her at an instant. She sat next to him putting on her black high heels. She didn't want to get into the conversation with him, but she respected him and his advice.
"What is it Brandon?" she whispered as she turned his face towards her and looked into his eyes.
"You need to call your son." He said as he looked at her with sadness.
"He doesn't need me right now, Brandon."
"Bullshit, Sami."
"Why do you keep saying that?"
"You got family looking for you and you seem like you don't care."
"Where in the hell you get off saying that I don't care?"
"Because you have not called your son and you need to."
"Why? Lucas is over there taking good care of him."
"I don't give a damn about what is Lucas doing for your son. Your son got slapped in the face by Kate."
"What?"
"Yes Samantha, she slapped him because he was sticking up for you."
"Really"
"Yes, that boy loves you. To be honest that the only man you need in your life besides me."
"Brandon, we talked about this."
"I know, but I will go anywhere you want to go and I will follow."
"Thank you. I will call him, but that's all."
"DING-DONG."
Sami raced to the front door; she looked out in the peephole and saw a woman in a suit at her door. She opened the door and stared at the woman.
"Hello, Is Virginia Black here?" said the woman with a smile on her face.
" Yes, I am she." Sami smiled back at her
"I'm Angela DeVonti and I'm here to interview you."
"Oh my goodness, was I late?"
"No, Virginia. I thought it would be best for me to meet you at your home. How are you doing Brandon?"
"I'm doing fine." Brandon said surprisingly
"Are you still looking forward in transferring back to the States?"
"Yes."
"Good, I have a place for you."
"Please, have a seat. I thought we were doing this meeting on via Satellite." Sami said nervously.
"Well I felt that we should do this in person because there are a lot of things you should know."
"Okay."
"One thing is I'm big on honest and to work for my company Fabulous and Unique, you have to be honest, Samantha Brady."
"Excuse me?"
"Yes I know who you are Samantha Gene Brady."
"What makes you think that I'm Samantha Gene Brady? Who is that?"
"Sami Gene, you the only person I know that would use her favorite female name to keep her cover Virginia and Black, using your stepfather's last name. I can't believe you remember since we was kids."
" Angie…"
"The one and only sweetheart."
"I thought you were dead."
"I thought you knew I was hard to kill."
"So really don't have a fashion company do you?"
"Yeah I do, Fabulous and Unique; which Brandon works at in this branch in London."
"How did you find me and why?"
"A favor from some one who loves us the most and that is Grandpa Shawn Douglas."
"Where have you been?"
"Disappearing."
"How could you leave me when I was pregnant with Will?"
"I had no choice, I had to disappear."
"Why didn't you write?"
"Why should I?"
"We were best friends. I could have kept you a secret and you could have kept me out of trouble like you normally do."
"Sam, things were complicated then and they are still now."
"Why are you here?"
"I'm taking you home Sami."
"NO, I'm not going back there."
"Sam, I promise an old man that I would bring back his granddaughter. Which mean I don't break promises."
"I don't care."
"What about your son? Do you care about him?"
"Of course."
"Look Sam, you won't be going home alone and since Brandon wants to transfer, he will be going back to Salem branch of Unique and Fabulous."
"There is not branch of that there in Salem."
"I'm an investor in the company of Austin Reed."
"You're the DeVonti that Austin is talking about for weeks before I left."
"I'm the one and only, but I also promised an old man that I would make a life in Salem with my friend Kevin Miles."
"So you are coming on home with us."
"Yep, we both are right?"
"Yep." Brandon said with a smile.
"By the way Sami?"
"Yeah."
"You have to go through training for six weeks and go call your son. Now."
Sami went into the kitchen, picked up the phone and dialed the phone. The line ranged three times until someone picked up the phone. A female picked up the phone and she sounded like she was sleep.
"Hello." Female said sleepily
"Hey Carrie, it's me Sami."
"Sami, where in the hell are you or how the hell are you?" Carrie almost yelled in the phone.
"Is there anyone there with you?"
" No, Lucas and Austin went to the pub."
"Is Will there?"
"No he went to school."
"Tell him I love him and that I'm okay."
"Sure. Sami is everything okay."
"No not mentally, but physically I'm fine."
"Are you coming home?"
"I don't know. Carrie, I'm sorry."
"That is in the past. I just want you to come home. I didn't come back to Salem to be here without my sister."
"Thanks that makes me feel good. You take care of your self and I may talk to you later, but don't tell anyone that I call but Will."
"Okay."
"Bye."
"Bye."
Sami hanged up the phone and put her head against the refrigerator. She didn't want to go back but she guesses it was time for to go back and deal with the problems of Salem. Could she really handle it? What does Angela mean by training and for what?"
