Ch. 5- Trouble
After the movie was over Sam got up and stretched. It was beginning to get dark outside and she still needed to ride home. She gave Ryan a hug and he kissed her on the cheek. She walked out of the house, hopped on Ace, and began to gallop home. As she was galloping, she heard a whinny that was nearby. She pulled Ace to a halt and spotted the Phantom's herd in the last remaining light from the sun. Sam scanned the herd for Danny and her mom and spotted them easily. Snow White is the only horse in the herd other than the Phantom who was gray. As soon as the herd realized she was watching they all stopped drinking. Where is the Phantom? Then suddenly he was standing next to Ace nibbling on her boot. "Silly Zanzibar. What are you doing my sweet boy?" His ears pricked at the sound of her voice, but he didn't bolt. Sam stroked his neck for a few minutes before he unexpectedly bolted off. Sam whirled around to see Jake trotting up on Witch. "Your dad sent me out to look for you. He wants you home now." He turned around without another word and galloped towards River Bend. Sam followed him and they got home a few minutes after dark. "Samantha Anne Forster, get inside now. You have school tomorrow and you still have homework to do," Bryanna didn't sound happy at all. She cringed as she walked towards the house. She turned to Jake for help, but he tipped his hat to Bryanna and galloped off. Great, look at the mess I've gotten myself into this time.
Over the next few weeks Ryan and Sam were spending a lot of time together. Jake always seemed to be passing when Ryan was kissing her. Sam had tried more than once to talk to him, but no way was he listening. After school on a Friday Sam was throwing all her books into her locker. No way was she bringing home any books over the weekend. Just as she was about to close her locker, Ryan did it for her. She smiled and kissed him on the cheek. "Ready?" They had planned to go to his house that evening to watch a movie. Sam smiled, "Yeah, let's go." Ryan took her hand and led her to the car and opened the door for her. They both climbed in and Ryan was about to start the engine when he turned to Sam and began to kiss her passionately. And then Jake flung open the door to the car and threw Ryan on the ground. Sam screamed but Jake wouldn't stop. She was about to run for help when he stopped. She heard him mumble to Ryan "If you ever try anything like that again, I'll slit your neck. Got it?" Ryan nodded with fear in his eyes. Jake threw him to the ground, shook his head at Sam, and walked off. Sam jumped out of the car and ran to Ryan. "Are you ok? Oh my gosh, you're bleeding!" Ryan tried to calm her, "It's only a scratch, I promise." Sam was doubtful, but she let it go. "What in the heck was that about anyway?" Ryan winced as he sat up, "I think your boyfriend is jealous. He gives me evil looks all the time. I don't get him sometimes." I do, thought Sam as she helped him to his feet.
Later that evening Ryan pulled the truck to a stop in front of River Bend. Ryan leaned over and began to kiss Sam and she kissed him back. I don't know what Jake's problem is. Then Ryan ran his hands down Sam's leg and across her chest. Sam stopped, "Ryan stop." "I'm sorry." And he drew back to her again and again she gave in until he tried it again. This time she just tried to push him away but he was too strong for her. She tried to break out of his grip, but he wouldn't let go. He began to kiss her neck and his hand was still running up and down her leg. That was too much for her. She slapped him across the face. And he slapped her back. "Don't you ever do that again." And he was dead serious. He began to kiss her again but as soon as the porch lights came on, he stopped. "Tell anyone about this and you will pay." Sam nodded quickly and jumped out of the car. He sped off and Sam stood there speechless. Was she dreaming, or did that just happen. She felt dizzy, and would have let herself faint if she wouldn't have had to explain to her dad, Bryanna, and Gram. She steadied herself and went inside and straight to bed.
The next day Sam decided she had to tell Jake what happened. She was worried about Jen. Ryan lives right by Jen so if he guessed Sam had said something, he would probably be able to get to Jen before anyone else. Sam left was going to leave a note for her dad, Bryanna, and Gram but no one was home. Running outside to the 10 acre pasture she heard a truck pulling over the bridge. Oh shoot, it's Ryan. I've gotta get out of here. Sam had just finished tacking Ace up when someone grabbed her shoulders. She screamed and turned around ready slap Ryan across the face, but it was Jake. He grabbed her arms before she took a swing at him. "Oh my gosh Jake. You scared me." Jake raised his eyebrows, "Why are you so jumpy and why are you in such a rush?" Sam was so relieved. She threw her arms around Jake's neck. For a minute Jake just stood there, but very slowly he wrapped his arms around her waist. After standing like this for a few minutes, Jake took her by the shoulders and they stood face to face. "Sam, what happened?" His 'mustang eyes' were almost as serious as the night Sam had first kissed Ryan. "Oh, Jake I'm so sorry. I've had this weird feeling about him ever since the fight at school. Last night when we got home from the movies he… he… I don't exactly know what he thought he was doing, but I slapped him and then he slapped me back. If Gram wouldn't have turned the porch lights on, he probably wouldn't have let me out of the car. I'm scared for Jen. He said if I told anyone, I'd pay. And really, the only thing that he could use against me that he can get to is Jen." Jake's muscles tensed. Sam slowly turned around to see Ryan standing only a few feet away. "Looks like trouble," said Jake as he came to stand in front of Sam.
AN: Sorry to leave you in a cliff hanger like this. I think this chappy worked out pretty well. What do you think? kat
