"Come on I'll need some help with the groceries shopping"

"Well, ok"

Then she stood up and put her walk men on her bed side draws then she picks up her bag and they walk out of her room and down the stairs and out to the car. After Elizabeth got her bag then they went to the mall first since Elizabeth knew Sam loved to go to the mall.

When they got their Sam look through the stores she use to look through. Elizabeth watches her daughter as she looked at denim jeans, shirts, shorts and mini shirts.

"Found anything you like Sam"

"Yeah"

"Well why don't you go and try them on"

She picked up what she likes and went to try them on then showed her mum

"Well what do you think?" Sam asked, as she looked at herself in the mirror

"What do you think Sam do you like them?"

"Yes… yes I do"

Then she walked back to the changing rooms then she tried other clothes on which she likes. When she finishes trying them on and she was back to her normal clothes. She walked out of the changing rooms and hung all of them up except for a denim shirt and mini skirt. She walked up to the counter to pay for them.

"Sam let me, it has been a long time since I brought you something"

"Mum I can pay for it myself"

"Ok"

After Sam paid for the two items and they were put in a bag and pass back to Sam, she thanked them before walking out of the store then she went to three other stores where she boughtsomething from there.

Then she went to the music shop to check out the latest music and brought a tape cassette then they left to get some ice cream that Sam enjoyed.

Then they left and went to the grocery shop to get two trolleys full of food and drinks, then they went to the counter and put them through and then they were paid for. When done, they walk back out to the car and put everything in the back seat and the trunk then Sam return the trolleys back to where she got them from then return and got into the car. Then they left to go back home.

Then they got home Sam help her mum take the groceries in and put everything away. Then Sam cook lasagne up for dinner while her mum went to see what Mark and Jacob were up to, only to find Jacob outside checking and cleaning the barbecue grill and Mark still wasn't home.

After Sam got dinner in the oven she went upstairs to her room so she could listen to her new tape cassette for a while.

Hour and a half later Sam was dishing up dinner when Mark walk in side and sat down at the table, Sam could see the hickies on his neck, she knew what they meant and what he has been doing.

After dinner was dish up she put them on the table before she got herself-a drink and sat down to eat. No one said a word during dinner, Sam knew that there was tension in the air.

After dinner they family went their separate ways leaving Sam at the table with the dishes. She sat back thinking about what has been happening to her family. She knew her mum had club night on Friday night, so she understands that but with her brother and father, that is a different story.

Then she finishes her drink and she stood up and went to take care of the dishes, then she went and watch some TV for a bit before going to bed knowing a talk with Jack will help her through the weekend.

The next morning, she pleases she spoke to Jack about what happened yesterday she remembers what he said to her before they both close their eyes.

"Sam when you return I'm going to give you a big hug"

"Thanks Jack" then they both hug and kiss before they both feel asleep then they both woke up.

After Sam had her shower and gotten dress she walked downstairs and got herself some breakfast then she cleans up her dishes then she got started on making the salads that would be needed for the barbecue.

She spends the next three hours making up pasta salads, potato salad, and curry egg salads, lettuce salads and other salads for the barbecue.

Then she made sure that there was plenty of ice for drinks when all of that was done the guests started showing up so Sam for a chilly bin and started filling it with ice and drinks then with the help of her powers.

She was able to lift it and take it outside then she return to get another chilli bin full of drinks and take them outside. Then she got the snacks on a tray and took them out side and put them onto tables that was already set up.

Then she went to get the meat since Jacob already fired up the barbecue then she walked back inside and started getting the buns sorted out. She stops and looked outside to the people her families have known for years who are living in Washington now.

Then she went back to the job at hand until it was done. Then she took the buns out side and put them down where Jacob could grab them. Then she pick up the empty cans and bottles and take them inside and put them into two big bags then she took more bottles and cans out to the chilli bins.

Then she walked back inside and take the salads outside and put them on the table then she took more empty bottles and cans in side then return with paper plates knives, forks serving spoons, napkins and other things. Then she returned with more empty bottles and cans.

Sam made sure that there was plenty of food and drinks for everyone. She did stop for a few minutes to get a glass of milk before carrying on. When Jacob finish cooking the last of the meat on the grill, Sam took the empty plates in side and wash them then left them to drain while she went back out side with more snacks and drinks that was in the fridge then return again.

By seven o'clock the last of the drinks were in the chilli bins, and there weren't many snacks left. She was tired and hungry, so when the guests started leaving, Sam started cleaning up.

When Sam was in side, one woman notice how tired Sam look and she could tell something was wrong so she went to talk to her. When she walks in side she could tell by the slump in her shoulder and her sniffling, that she has been crying

"Samantha, are you ok" then she saw her stiffen up and wiping her tears away before turning around

"I'm just tired, that all"

"Well I'm not surprised I been watching you work all day take empty bottles and cans inside, taking other bottles out and putting them into the chilli bins, making during that there was plenty of food for everyone. Sam you have done a lot for a young girl your age"

"Thanks, I hope you enjoyed yourself today"

"Yes, what about Sam?"

"I've been to busy to enjoy myself, you are the only person that has spoken to me all day today, if you will excuse me I still got a mess to clean up" then she walked back out side.

The women watch Sam picking up after every one like she a worker, not a daughter. When her husband found her in side he walk in and over to her

"Ready to go"

"I don't know"

"What wrong"

"Sam" then he turned to see what Sam was doing then back to his wife

"What about her?"

"Haven't you notice today, Sam has been on the go all day clean up, making sure that there was plenty of food and drinks for everyone. She hasn't even taken a brake, poor girl she only twelve years old and she not looking or acting like a daughter, she a worker. To me that not right and no one has even spoken to her today or even thank her till I spoke to her couple of minutes ago" then she looked at her husband

"When I came in here, she was crying, she did try to hide it, and there is something else going on but I don't know what"

"Like what?"

"I don't know, but I notice when I came in to the house, there is a lot of tension and I think it I affecting Sam"

"Sam a good kid"

"I know" then Sam walked back in and started getting rubbish sorted out
