Chapter 24
Before the stare could get uncomfortable Quinn began his story.
"Well me and Nate where watching t.v. and mom was in the kitchen. The rest where outside somewhere and well Jake was over at your place. And well we hear this knock on the door so Nate gets up to answer the door and I heard a girl's voice asking for Jake so of course I stood up and joined Nate at the door.
"Uhm no he is not in right now but I'm Nate and this is Quinn. We are his brothers. How can we help you?" Nate told her.
"Oh. I'm Dana. Jake's girlfriend." She smiled up at us and that's when mom came over.
"Girlfriend? Come in I'm Jake's mom." Mom told her and with that she walked inside and we all went to the kitchen.
"I'm guessing Jake never mentioned me?" She asked and none of us answered. "I thought so." She said a little too bitter but she laughed which confused me. With that Mom called Jake at your house and then Jake came over and when he came in he had the blankest expression I have ever seen. I don't even think my dad could beat that one.
"Hey Jake." Dana told him and he just grunted back and then everyone piled into the kitchen and practically attacked her with hellos and then next thing I know mom was kicking all of us out from the kitchen. So me, Bryan, Adam, and Nate went out back to listen through the window and well…" Quinn stopped.
"Well what?" Sam asked her stomach clenched up in knots. This is bad. It's really bad. Sam thought. Quinn hesitated.
"Well they where arguing and Jake told her that they had been over for a while and she said no one told her that and more stuff was said that I didn't really understand and somewhere in that Dana told Jake that." Quinn stopped again.
"That what?" Sam was almost about to cry.
"You know what let me pay and we'll go out for a ride and I'll tell you there." Quinn said starting to take out the money to pay and asking for the check.
"Just tell me." Sam almost yelled at Quinn. "Please." She softened her voice so much it would break anyone's heart. Including Quinn's.
Quinn reached across the table and grabbed Samantha's hand. Samantha froze. They stared at each other for a while.
"Trust me." Quinn said softly while he squeezed her hand. Sam just nodded.
Quinn paid and they both got up to go towards Quinn's car. Quinn opened Sam's door and then walked around to the driver's seat. Without saying a word he started the car and drove, Sam really didn't know where they where going and she really didn't care. Quinn stopped the car in 'the spot'. The spot was notorious for all the lovey-dovey stuff that went on; everything from g-rated to xxx. It was a secluded spot in the middle of the only densely forested area in that side of Nevada. People park there cars in the part near the end of the mountain in a place where the trees seem to magically disappear. It truly is a romantic spot. From up there you can sometimes see the wild horses gallop across and when the sun sets, like now, it can make anyone's heart melt.
Which is why Sam's eyebrows shot straight up. Why on earth did Quinn bring me to THE SPOT! Sam's thoughts practically screamed right out of her.
"Don't worry. I'm not trying anything on you. It has its notorious reputation thanks to it also being a very secluded spot where people can't hear you. Understand?" Quinn smiled and got out the car. Sam stared blankly and still sat in the car with her seatbelt on. Quinn disappeared.
"BOO!"
"AHHHHHHHH!" Sam screamed so loud she was sure someone heard. Quinn was laughing really hard outside Sam's window and was still laughing when Sam finally got out hitting him.
"You a*hole." Sam said slapping his arm which probably hurt her more than him. They walked together to the edge and sat down in silence for a while.
"So. Can you tell me now?" Sam said her heart falling down to her stomach. Quinn took a deep breath.
"Sam the reason Jake went all awol on you was because. Damn I really shouldn't be the one telling you this it should be him." Quinn said looking down.
"Well obviously if I wait for him to tell me I'm going to be waiting till my deathbed. And that's if he even decides to show up." Sam said with anger and sadness all mixed together.
"Sam. Jake hasn't gone to see you because he doesn't know how to tell you. He doesn't want to hurt you. I know for a fact that he really, really likes you." Quinn said looking off into the distance.
"But." Sam said almost defeated.
"Well from his shoes it is really hard I mean he had already broken up with this girl, supposedly, and was finally getting things started with you and well either way you know you were going to get hurt because well if he avoided you you were going to get hurt and if he just manned up and went to tell you instead of having to find out through someone else like his brother" Quinn ranted.
"Quinn just tell me. I'm a big girl. I can handle it." Sam cut him off.
Quinn took a deep breath and turned around to look at Sam. Sam looked up and caught Quinns eyes and saw the bad news in them.
"Dana told Jake that she was pregnant."
