A/N: So, I have actually gone back and reread this story when everyone had thrown a fit about me ending the story. And I realized some things…Like the story has just kind of started. I don't update on a concrete schedule only because I had no ideas coming at me and my life has been hectic at times. So as of right now I am amended my previous authors note and saying that I don't know when this will end…as long as I can come up with ideas then everything will be good.

I do however have a new idea on where I would like to end this story, but I can't tell you it will give everything away. But what I can tell you is that it's going to be awhile before I can get there.

Normally I would've just taken aspects from the movie Step Mom, but I didn't want to copy any of it because I would never do that movie the justice like it deserves. Now that I have a more of an understanding on where I want to go hopefully it will be easier for me to plan the remaining chapters however long it will be. And hopefully I won't be skipping any updates, if for some reason that I do, I won't do it twice in a row meaning that if I end up skipping a week the next week you will be receiving an update.

I hope that everyone is okay with that. There were hints of the future in this chapter by the way. So hopefully I can keep you all entertained.

But in the meantime I have actually sat down to plan a lot of new stories and I would like people to visit my profile and vote for their favorites.

Chapter Twenty: The Truth Comes Out

"Where have you been these last few weeks?" Logan asks as soon as he sees his girlfriend walk up to him on the docks. "I've been worried about you."

"I know."

Sam sat down next to Logan and Logan put his arm around her.

"Sam, what's going on?"

Sam smiled at Logan and shook her head.

"Nothing, it's nothing. Let's just enjoy this day. I need to enjoy this day."

Logan smiled brightly unaware of how this day was going to end.

"So, I figured we could go see a movie and then grab something to eat. How does that sound?"

"Perfect."

Logan stood up and grabbed Sam's hand. Sam leaned against Logan and smiled sadly because she knew by the end of the day, what they had was going to be over.

-WLOM-

"How did it feel to ground somebody?" Julian asks as he and Brooke take a walk around town.

"It was different. I can admit that, but Julian, she's hiding something and I don't like it. I really don't like it."

Julian grinned at Brooke.

"It's your motherly ways that are starting to show Brooke Davis. I might not have told you this before, but I am glad that you love Sam. I was really worried when I had first met you. I don't tell many people about my daughter and I know it makes me look like a bad guy, but there are reasons."

"I get that Julian. I really do. You're in the spotlight, Sara wasn't and you didn't want Sam in it. It's understandable. I mean you see the movie stars or whatnot on the television and you see their kids. Pictures of their kids are on the magazines. I wouldn't want my kids on those either," Brooke stops Julian from walking and turns to him. "I know you love Sam. I love her, too. You are a great father so don't ever doubt yourself."

Julian nods his head and gives Brooke a watery smile.

"Sara used to tell me that all the time. When I doubted it, she could always see it in my eyes and I never understood how she did it, but she did. And now you can and I think I need that."

"You wear your emotions on your sleeve Julian Baker. It doesn't take a scientist to see how you feel. That's another thing you have in common with your daughter."

"Brooke, can I ask you something?"

Brooke looked around the street and found an empty bench. She dragged Julian over there before he could say anything.

"Okay, go ahead and ask now that I am sitting."

"I don't want to wait to call you my wife. I want to marry you soon. I can't wait anymore."

Brooke looked at Julian in surprise. They had talked about holding off on the wedding plans because of Sam and with Sara's death it just added to the fire.

"But we talked about it. We didn't want too many changes to happen in Sam's life so quickly."

"I know that. Trust me I do, but change can be a good thing and I mean we passed the one hurdle that I was afraid of."

Brooke raised an eyebrow as she straightens out her pant leg.

"What do you mean?"

"Sam likes you and that was the one thing that I was worried about. She didn't really fight you on the grounding so that's always plus and I think it will be okay. I mean we can plan a wedding in less than a month and we can get married in 3-6 months."

"June," Brooke announces. "Sam will be out of school and that gives us nine months to come up with our dream wedding."

Julian grins and nods his head.

"June it is."

-WLOM-

"You have been quiet all day," Logan notices as they walk along the beach.

"I'm sorry," Sam apologizes. "I've just been kind of in my head the whole day. It's not the company, I just. I'm worried about a lot of stuff right now."

"Sam, I have a month left before I have to go back to school, but that doesn't mean we have to break up or anything."

Sam shakes her head.

"I'm sorry. That's what I have been worried about and you're right," Sam lies.

Logan smiles kindly at his girl before leaning down and kissing her.

-WLOM-

"I think we should talk about our future a little bit," Julian says as he wiggles his toes into the sand on the beach.

"And what do you mean by that Mr. Baker?" Brooke asks with a grin as she places her hair into a pony tail, loving the wind in her face.

"Do you want kids with me?"

Brooke nods her head.

"I've wanted kids for a long time. So, I'd be happy to have kids with you."

Julian grabs onto his fiancé's hand and grins.

"Boy or girl?"

"Would you find it weird if I said boy?"

Julian shakes his head.

"No, I just have pictured you with a little girl in your arms."

"Everyone has said that, but I think it has to do with the fact that the first baby that I really have had a huge roll was with Haley's son. I fell for him instantly. I guess to me, it wouldn't matter, but having a son would be good. I'd love a daughter, too, but it really doesn't matter."

"Same here," Julian says with a smile as he stares lovingly into his future wife's eyes.

Brooke kisses Julian quickly and starts running down the beach. Julian grins and starts to run after her. It didn't take long to stumble upon to people making out on the beach. The girl was lying down on the sand and the boy was on top of her. Brooke's eyes widen when she sees the girl on the sand. It was Sam.

Julian steps beside Brooke and shakes his head.

"This is a public place. Can't they make out in privacy?"

"Um…Julian, shut up."

"What?" Julian asks in confusion.

"Don't get mad," Brooke says slowly as she continues to watch Sam who still hasn't noticed that they were there."

Julian looks from Brooke and then back to the two people in the sand. Julian's good mood quickly turns into anger when he sees the girl lying on the sand.

"Get off of her!" Julian yells as he runs forward.

Logan pulls away from Sam and licks his lips.

"Oh no," Sam mutters as she sits up.

"What?" Logan asks.

"Run," Sam says before she hears her father get closer. "Run, Now!"

Logan looks at the man running at him and he quickly gets up to his feet and starts running. Sam runs away from her father not noticing that Brooke was running her way.

Sam didn't get very far after tripping on her pant leg. Brooke caught up to Sam and sat down beside her.

"You're in trouble."

"Yeah," Sam says after she catches her breath. "We better stop dad from trying to kill Logan."

Brooke shakes her head with a smile.

"You got grounded over a boy."

Sam shakes her head.

"No, I got grounded over a man."

Brooke's eyebrow rose.

"How old is he?"

-WLOM-

When Sam and Brooke had reached Julian and Logan, Julian had Logan by the collar of his shirt.

"She is sixteen years old and you look older than her. What the hell do you think you are doing taking advantage of my daughter?"

Logan took what Julian had been saying in stride. He hoped that crazy dad wouldn't hit him. Out of the corner of his eye he spotted Sam.

"I could use some help here, please," Logan pleads.

Sam goes up to her father and grabs a hold of his arm.

"Dad stop, please," Sam cries out. "You could hurt him."

Julian looked away from Logan and then to his daughter.

"JULIAN!" Brooke screamed.

Julian dropped his hands and Logan fell to the sand.

"I didn't know," Logan whispered.

Julian glares at the man on the ground.

"I didn't know that she was sixteen."

Julian looks towards his daughter.

"I lied," Sam says ashamed. "I lied to everybody."

"I'm going home," Julian announces. He looks at Logan. "Stay away from my daughter!"

Sam watched as Brooke and Julian walked away. She turned her head to Logan who was waiting for an explanation.

"Why would you lie?" Logan says as he stands up and fixes his shirt.

"You were nice and I liked you. I figured if I would've told you my real age that you wouldn't want to do what we've been doing."

Logan shakes his head.

"It's not true. The only thing that would've changed was the kissing. Sam, you're sixteen years old and I am an adult. I can't do that with you. I'm just really glad that we didn't have sex and that kissing is all we did."

Sam looks at Logan with tears in her eyes. She walks closer to him and Logan grabs her hands.

"I'm sorry Logan."

"I'm sorry, too. I fell for you Sam. So quickly and it scared me and it scares me even more because your sixteen, but I guess I was wrong today. We are breaking up."

Logan wraps his arms around Sam and Sam cries into his shoulder.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."

"I'm sorry, too. But I'd want you as a friend and then maybe when you're eighteen and I'm not with someone than maybe there will be hope from us."

"I hope so," Sam whispers with a sniffle.

-WLOM-

"She was supposed to end it Brooke and when she had said old enough not to be in high school I figured he was eighteen or something. He looked older than eighteen!" Julian rants as he paces his living room floor.

"Julian, you have to calm down."

"I can't believe she would do that. Do you think she had sex with him?" Julian asks as his eyes widen in surprise. "God, what if that happened?"

"Julian, calm down. I don't think Sam would've had sex with him. Honestly I don't. She was guilty and she knew it was wrong. Julian, she's a smart girl."

Sam walked into the house after hearing the argument from behind the front door. Sam looked at her dad and he pointed to the couch. Sam sat down.

"How old is he?"

"Twenty."

Julian's hands clench and unclench.

"Did you have sex with him?"

"No, I didn't do that. All we did was kiss."

"Did you end it?"

Sam nods her head.

"Good," Julian says before walking out the front door.

Sam sighs and rests her head against the back of the couch.

"He'll calm down Sam. It will be okay."

"What do you know about it?"

Brooke bites the bottom of her lip before speaking.

"I slept with my teacher when I was in high school."

Sam's eyes widen in surprise.

"Granted I didn't know he was the new teacher at my school and he thought my name was Peyton, but he told me he was a model."

"I'm sorry Brooke. I really am."

Brooke pats Sam's knee.

"It will be okay, Sam. Have you thought about trying out for the track team?"
