I have a real reason for not updating lately, well for me this is rather quick, I last updated the 3 of June, ok, that's bad, but as I was saying, I have a sort of excuse. For the past two weeks I was at camp. Being a CIT (counselor-in-training.) Oh, and next Tuesday I'm going to Texas for a week. For the National Youth Gathering. So that's another week I can't write. But I'll try to update when I get back.
Oh and I don't know if anyone got an email saying I updated the last chapter, because ff normally sends me something saying yah, I updated. But it didn't last chapter. But it's there, I looked, just did actually. It may be because I figured out how to delete the double chapter in there so that may have screwed it up. Idk
Oh, and like I said last chapter, Sami has been gone for three years, not two.
Lucas got ready for bed still thinking of what Sami was up to. He got into bed and was staring at the ceiling. He knew he wouldn't get any sleep until he talked to her, but a few hours of remembering their past love, he finally fell asleep.

Sami woke up the next morning in a strange bed. It took her a few minutes before she realized that she moved back to Salem and she was in her new apartment. She shut off her alarm, and got out of bed, trying to wake up.
"Coffee," she stated to herself. She got the kitchen and looked around. John had supplied her with a coffee machine along with other necessary kitchen appliances.
"Now to find the coffee." She looked in the cupboards, but they were bare. No food, no plates, no cooking supplies. She went to the refrigerator. For the first time she saw a note on the door.
Samantha
I didn't buy any food or supplies. I figured you would at least want to choose something in your apartment. If you want to, you can come over for breakfast, my wife, Marlena, would be thrilled. Otherwise, you can go out. I recommend going to the Brady Pub; they will make you feel welcome.
John Black
Sami weighed her options carefully. She defiantly did not want to go to the Brady Pub. She really didn't feel like dealing with everyone right now. She also didn't want to impose on her mother and stepfather again. He wrote that note before she came over for dinner.
Her stomach rumbled, reminding her of her dilemma. Knowing whatever decision she made, she would have to get dressed and ready for the day. Sami got in the shower and then got dressed.
When she was just about to leave, there was a knock at the door.
Wary of whom it might be on the other side of the door, Sami peeped in the peephole. From it, she saw John standing there.
Sami opened the door and greeted John rather warmly.
"Sami, I was wondering if I could treat you to breakfast before we head over to Basic Black. I didn't buy you any food, and you must be hungry."
Sami was surprised he cared that much. But hey, she thought, if it's his treat, why not?
"Yes, John, I'd love too. Where do you have in mind?"
"I think we should pay a visit to the Pub."
"John, I don't know if I'm ready for that."
"Come on Sami. I know you can face them. Your grandparents miss you so much. And maybe, if you're lucky, no one you know will be there."
"I still don't think it's a good idea, what if they still hate me?"
"Who is the 'they' you are talking about?"
"Grandma, grandpa, Bo, Hope, Shawn D, Belle, Brady, Jennifer, you know. My family. One weird, messed up family, but granted, still a family."
"They don't hate you, Samantha. They love you, and they miss you. Please come. Everyone is always wondering where you are, your family cares."
Not wanting to get into a fight, Sami agreed. "Let's go then."

Lucas rolled over and reached over and turned off his alarm clock. He groaned and slowly got up, trying become awake. Thinking of Sami all night long didn't leave much room for sleep. Sami. Her beautiful face filled his mind. Even with her gone, she still haunted his dreams regularly.

Lucas made himself get out of bed and headed straight for the bathroom. He turned on the water of his shower and striped, waiting for the water to warm. His thoughts drifted to his girlfriend, as he jumped in the shower. He wondered what would happen now between the two of them now that Sami was back.
'Nothing should change,' a voice told him in the back of his mind. 'You are completely over Sami, there's nothing between you two anymore. You tried getting to the alter twice, neither worked out. You had your chance. Sami ruined them. You have Jessica now.'
Jessica. Lucas forced himself to think of her, just her. 'She's amazing. She loves Will and understands that I have a horrible past. She doesn't know every thing I have done, but she knows a lot of it. And she hasn't run off yet'
And best of all I love her, and she loves me. I love her.
"I love her." As Lucas said that, Sami floated into his mind.
Good? Bad? Ok? Please review! It makes me smile!
