A/N-Sorry it's a little bit later than I normally post, but I just got kind of stuck half-way through writing this chapter…REVIEW PLEASE!
Chapter Ten: Admittance
Brooke enters her bedroom with anger and a little bit of sadness.
"Julian Baker I cannot believe you!"
Julian looks at his wife in confusion. He watches as his wife paces the floor.
"I never really thought of you as a bigot and I guess now I am finally seeing the real you."
Julian jumps off of his bed and stops his wife from pacing.
"Brooke, what are you talking about?"
Brooke screams out in frustration causing Julian to take a step back. Brooke sits on the bed.
"Brooke, you have to tell me what you are talking about because I am seriously confused right now."
Brooke looks up at Julian with angry tears in her eyes.
"What is your problem with same sex couples?"
Julian freezes at the statement. To be honest he never really thought about it. It was unnatural to him, but as long as it didn't involve him directly he didn't care.
"I don't know it's just I never thought about it."
"Well I think you should. Just tell me right now what you have a problem with."
"Brooke I don't like to be put on the spot like this."
"Just try Julian," Brooke pleads.
Julian sighs and sits down next to his wife.
"I don't know. I guess for the obvious reasons it isn't supposed to be like that. As long as they don't confront me about it or be couple like in front of me I don't care. And why is this suddenly about me? What about you? What do you think?"
"Who is anybody to judge love, that's what I think."
Julian nods his head.
"We can agree to disagree."
Julian's comment makes Brooke stand up and frown at him.
"I don't even know you anymore."
"Why is this coming up now?"
"Because things change with people Julian, they just change," Brooke says before walking out of the room leaving Julian more confused than ever.

Kelsey didn't have to go very far to find Sam. She was at the river court looking over the water and the boats in them. Kelsey takes a seat next to Sam and notices that her girl has tears in her eyes.
"It will be okay Sam."
Sam shakes her head and sniffles.
"I don't think it will Kelsey. He hurt me and he doesn't even know it yet."
Kelsey grabs Sam's hand and kisses it.
"Baby, I know it's hard for you right now and like I said I will be here for you. I know all about the transition. Eventually, your father will come around. Eventually he will I promise."
Sam lets go of Kelsey's hand and stands up in front of her.
"You can't promise me something like that Kelsey Daniels, you just can't!"
"Talk to me Samantha, tell me what you are feeling. Let me all the way in. Don't close yourself off now."
Sam looks at Kelsey with sad eyes.
"I d-don't know w-what to do," Sam cries as she falls into Kelsey's arms.
"Baby, I know, okay. I know it's hard, but we will figure something out. Maybe you should talk to your therapist or something. Maybe that will help you."
Kelsey rubs her hands on Sam's back trying to soothe her. Kelsey neglected to see a tall figure by a nearby tree.

Jesse Beal opened up her legal pad and smiled softly at her patient. Sam was sitting nervously on the couch looking everywhere, but at her.
"Why are we here today Samantha?"
"Some things have changed for me and I don't know what to do."
"What kind of changes Sam?" Jesse asks.
"Do you remember me telling you about Kelsey?"
Jesse nods her head letting Sam continue.
"Anyway, things with us have changed and I don't know what to think."
Jesse has a feeling of what Sam is talking about, but to be sure she has to ask.
"Is it a good or bad change?"
"Good change," Sam blushes. "A really good change for me."
"Tell me about it."
"Kelsey is no longer my friend. She's my girlfriend."
"Good for you Sam, but something tells me that's not why you are here."
Sam shakes her head. "My dad doesn't know it yet, but I'm already breaking his heart."
Jesse knows exactly why too, but she doesn't say anything. She hands Sam a tissue and let's her talk.
"My mom knows because she's kind of perceptive like that, but my dad. I don't think he will like that I have a girlfriend."
Jesse turns and grabs a picture off of her desk. It was a picture of her family. She hands it to Sam and Sam looks at her in confusion.
"That's my family."
"Who are they?"
"The one in the back is me and my wife," Sam looks up in surprise and then down at Jesse's ring finger where a diamond ring was sitting on it. "Her name is Casey and the two kids in front are Michelle and Jason. Michelle is 17 and Jason is 15."
Sam looks up and smiles.
"They go to Tree Hill High don't they?"
Jesse nods her head.
"Yeah they do."

"Thanks for meeting me Kelsey," Brooke says as she sits down on the chair.
"It's kind of nerve racking actually."
"You shouldn't be. I'm not here to interrogate you or anything. I just want to know how Sam's doing on more of a personal level."
"I'm not going to break what confidence I have with her Brooke. I'm sorry."
"It's okay, it doesn't hurt to try."
Kelsey notices the sad look on Brooke's face.
"Look, I'm sure Julian will come around. Sam's his daughter and nothing is going to change that, but Sam is going to need you in her corner through it all. She automatically has me, but she needs at least one of her parents on her side otherwise it's useless."
"Kelsey, you don't have to worry about me. I'm on her side no matter what Julian thinks or says."
Kelsey smiles and nods her head.
"That's good, because Sam is going to need you."
~~~/~~~/~~~/~~~/~~~
"Sam, it seems to me that you came here looking for a way out of what you are feeling and it's okay, but I'm not going to be the one to tell you who to love. Only you can do that. I'm just telling you that I went through what you are going through right now as did my wife and I'm assuming Kelsey went through it as well."
"I know, but it's just hard."
"Sam the hardest part is admitting, the rest of the stuff you get used to."
"I don't know if I can say it."
"I'm sure you can. The question is do you want to?"
Sam thinks about her days spent with Kelsey and she smiles at them. Kelsey is her guardian angel and in that moment Sam knew what to say.
"I'm gay."
