Well guys, here's chapter 15. Some of u sent me some ideas and they were greatly appreciated even if I don't use them. This chapter is base off any one's idea but oh well. Keep sending ideas even tho I may not use them. It's not an insult if I don't use them, I just didn't.

My school starts this wednsday and my chapters will probably be slow since I'm n eighth grader taking ninth grade math. Apparently I'm good at math. Funny thing is though I HATE MATH! HATE IT! But w/e my point is chapter will hopefully be every other day at least once a week now that school starts again.

Apparently, someone is out to get me. 'you can't write' sent me the same review for EVERY chapter for ALL of my stories, in both PS and GH catergories. Never even heard of this person before so I don't know what I did to make them so ticked but since they sent the same review I'm pretty sure they copied and pasted. Probably didn't even read the actual, u know, STORY. I actually sent me first flame to a story today in a different catergory all the stories in PS rock! and I sent a personalized flame to another person. So my first two and hopefully only, I hate doing flames were made today. Kinda weird how I sent my first flame and recived my first flame in the same day. But whatever. It doesn't matter. I like my stories and apparently so do most people. But w/e I did to them so ticked…well there pretty ticked. But w/e on w/ the story.

Chapter Fifteen

Since neither Sam nor Jake saw a reason for going back to Dani's place and causing a bigger scene than had already been caused; they decided to go for a little drive.

Sam scooted as close to Jake as she good get in his pickup. Jake drove with one hand on the wheel and the other over the back of the seat, near Sam's shoulder. He kept glancing at Sam before turning back to the road.

For most of the ride, Sam was silent. Finally she spoke up. "Thank you, Jake."

Jake was a bit confused. "For what?"

"For, tonight." Sam turned to look at him. "Coming after me. Standing up for me."

"I wasn't going to stand there and watch my ex dog you." Jake turned and met Sam's gaze. "Speaking of ex's and whatnot, Sam will you be my girlfriend?"

Sam leaned forward. "Thought you'd never ask."

Jake's smile was wide as he leaned down and kissed Sam. The arm not on the wheel rested on her cheek and he ran his tongue across her lips.

Jake didn't even have to ask permission. Sam's lip were already parted, granting him entrance. She closed her eyes, enjoying the moment. She reached up with one hand a grabbed his shirt, pulling him closer and deepening the kiss.

Jake's eyes were closed and the hand on the wheel came to rest on Sam's back.

The kiss didn't last much longer as they heard an incredibly loud, Honk! Honk! Jake pulled away and put his hand back on the wheel and swerved to avoid another wreck. He glanced at Sam, who was looking at him. She smiled and glanced away. When she glanced back and met Jake's gaze they both burst out laughing.

They weren't exactly sure where they were going but, neither protested when Jake pulled in the parking lot of Clara's.

"Hey, Jake," Sam pointed to a car that looked oddly familiar. "Is that Jen's car?"

Jake studied it carefully. "Yea, I think it is."

"Wonder what she's doing here?" Sam wondered aloud.

Jake just shrugged and intertwined his hand with Sam's.

Sam looked down at where their fingers were linked. With a small smile she brought her hand up kissed Jake's knuckles softly.

Sam wasn't surprised to see Jen sitting in a corner table but she was shocked when she saw Darrell sitting across the table from her.

"Look." With her free hand she pointed to where Jen and Darrell were having what looked like a serious conversation.

"I see it." Jake whispered back.

Unfortunately, they couldn't hide their presence in the diner because when the bell above the door clanged, announcing their entrance, both Jen and Darrell glanced up.

Jen took in Sam and Jake's hands, still linked from outside and her smile brightened. Eagerly she excused herself from Darrell and bounced over to Sam. "Um…I'm going to have to borrow her for a sec." She dragged Sam away into a corner far away from Jake or Darrell. "Uh, what was that?" She gestured to where Jake was standing, waiting.

"What was what?" Sam pretended to act normal and hide her excitement. "Nothing, really."

"Sam, Jake keep's glancing over her and catching your eye. I'm not blind. I see those small, tell-tale smiles."

"He followed me to the driveway at Dani's and was about to kiss me, when Dani showed up." Sam rewound her thoughts. "I freaked and sped away and he followed me…." Sam went on to explain how Jake had kissed her and what he'd told her and then about Dani showed up and had went ballistic. She told Jen everything and left out no details.

"Wow…" Jen was at a loss for words. "Wow…"

"Well," Sam said, changing the subject. "Tell me, why are you here? And with Darrell of all people?"

Jen blushed in response. "The party was really sucky so we decided to come here…" Jen trailed off.

"Ok, Jen I see no 'tell-tale smiles' as you call them but he's looking at you." Sam teased.

"I don't Sam. I'm not sure if he likes me or not and I'm afraid to tell him I like him."

"Well, that my dear friend is entirely up to you. He may like you. I mean, what's not to like?"

Jen laughed and they returned over to the boys. Sam slid in next to Jake and leaned against him. Jake had told Darrell already about him and Sam and Darrell greeted Sam with a wink. "Don't worry, darlin' we'll be together again soon."

Sam laughed and snuggled closer to Jake. "I wouldn't count on it Darrell." Sam noticed that even though Darrell was talking to Sam his eyes were on Jen.

Interesting. Sam wasn't sure what was going on, but she had a sneaking suspicion that Darrell was crushing on her best friend.

The four friends had a better time that night than they had had for awhile. There was a lot less tension in the air and things went easier. Everyone had a hamburger and a soda before driving home. Sam hadn't noticed Darrell's car on the way in but she saw it now. She guessed that hadn't drove here together after all.

Sam climbed into the truck and snuggled up close to Jake. She held one of his hands as he drove. Then she leaned against him with a sigh and closed her eyes.

Sam might have fell asleep but the ride was far to short for that. Especially with Jake tickling her neck.

"Stop." Sam mumbled tiredly and shooed him away.

"Hmm." Jake said and tickled her again.

Sam turned her head and kissed Jake's neck. "I want to sleep."

"Too bad, we're here." Jake dropped Sam off with a quick peck on the cheek and promises to call later. Then he backed the pick-up and drove over the bridge.

Sam's smile was wide in the early morning darkness. But when Sam noticed Sheriff Ballard sitting on the front porch steps waiting for her, her grin faded.

"Sam, we need to talk."

"Is everything all right?" Sam asked, worriedly. Why was the Sheriff here? And in the middle of the night no less?

"It's about Bryanna and the baby."
