Chapter Fourteen: Broken

After telling her father that she was gay, Sam had fallen into her mother's arms and cried. That was two hours ago. Now she just wanted her girlfriend.

Sam knocks on Kelsey's front door and when it opens Kelsey's smile fades when she sees Sam's red and puffy eyes. Kelsey opens her arms as invitation and Sam accepts it and starts crying again.

"It's okay, baby, it's going to be okay."

"I-It's not o-okay," Sam cries into Kelsey's neck.

Kelsey makes Sam walk into her bedroom and they lie down on her bed. Sam snuggles closer to Sam and rubs her back soothingly.

"Tell me what happened, baby."

Sam sniffles.

"I told my dad and he was so mad. He walked out and I don't know if I will ever see him again."

"I'm sure he was just shocked."

Sam sits up in anger.

"Why are you taking his side?"

Kelsey sits up.

"Hey I'm not taking his side. I'm just trying to figure out what is going on here."

"He wouldn't look at me Kels, what am I going to do?"

Kelsey pushes stray hairs behind Sam's ear.

"I'll tell you what we are going to do. We will sit here and I'm going to comfort you and you can cry or laugh or release some anger, but I am going to be here. Then you'll go home see your mom and don't worry about your dad."

"How come you're so good to me?" Sam asks with a small smile.

"You make it easy."

Sam leans down and captures Kelsey's lips with her own.

Brooke walks around her house not knowing what to do. She couldn't believe what Julian had done. He had just walked out without a word or another look towards their daughter. It made her sick. She never would have thought that Julian would be that way.

Brooke sits down and grabs the picture on the table. The picture had been starring at her forever. The picture was of herself, Julian and Sam before she had any interests in guys or girls. Brooke quits staring at the picture when tears fall from her eyes. She chucks the picture against the wall and listens to the glass shatter.

Julian sits down at the bar and orders the strongest thing on tap. Chase delivers and takes in Julian's appearance.

"Dude, you look like crap."

Julian just glares as he swallows the alcohol.

"I've had a bad few hours."

"They say bartenders make great therapists," Chase offers.

"You're not a bartender anymore."

"On my days off I am so tell me what's going on."

"I was just informed that my daughter is gay."

Chase raises an eyebrow.

"So, why are you here getting drunk?"

"Didn't you hear me; I said that my daughter is gay."

Chase nods his head.

"I heard you, but what I don't understand is why you are here."

Julian sighs and looks around the bar before looking back at Chase.

"Are you telling me that if your son were to tell you that he was gay, you wouldn't be here right now?"

Chase wipes off the counter and shrugs his shoulders.

"To be honest I wouldn't know, but what I do know is that love is a complicated thing and sometimes we can't understand that."

"Love, nobody said anything about love."

"Come on Julian, do you honestly think Sam would have said something if she wasn't in love with Kelsey?"

Julian looks at Chase with wide eyes.

"How'd you know it was Kelsey?"

Chase chuckles. "It's kind of obvious, but even if it wasn't, Kelsey's best friends with Spencer."

"What do I do man?"

"You love Sam, right?"

"Of course I do."

"Then the answer shouldn't be that hard. Be a father."

Kelsey pulls away from the heated make-out session when she feels Sam's hands wonder up her shirt underneath.

"Wait, baby, you got to stop."

Sam pulls away. "What?"

"As much as I would like to continue, I can't because your mind isn't there right now and your emotions are haywire and I don't want to move to the next step at this point in time. I don't want to hurt you baby, but I don't think you're ready and judging by the look on your face you know it too."

Sam sighs and buries her head into Kelsey's neck.

"I'm sorry, I just I don't know what to do anymore. I feel so lost."

"Everything will work out."

Sam sits up and ends up straddling Kelsey's thighs.

"He's my dad Kelsey, I need him. I need my dad."

"I know baby, trust I know."

After dropping Sam off at home, Kelsey had something she had to do. She hated seeing Sam cry. It had felt like her own heart was breaking and she needed to do something. Luckily, Julian had informed Brooke of where he was at via text. The first thing that Kelsey had asked Brooke when she brought Sam home was where Julian was at. Brooke had told her without any reluctance.

Kelsey entered Tric and walked up to the bar. She had spotted Julian sitting by the bar table and decided to approach.

"Excuse me, Mr. Baker."

Julian turns around and spots Kelsey.

"Go home Kelsey," Julian says before turning back around.

"I can't do that sir. I would like to speak with you," Kelsey says before taking a seat next to Julian.

"I rather not talk right now."

"To bad," Kelsey says bravely. "You broke her. Since the time that you left all Sam has done was cry. She cried in her mother's arms, she cried my arms and it's all because of you. I never thought that she could hurt worse than what the bastard did to her, but you managed to do that." Julian turns to look at Kelsey. "I love your daughter, but I haven't told Sam mostly because I don't want to scare her because I know what she is going through. I'm the first person she let in her heart at least on some level romantically and you may not want to hear it, but I'm going to tell you anyway. Look, fix what you messed up because Sam is hurting. My dad knows what you are going through so just talk to him. But you have to fix your relationship with your daughter otherwise you're going to lose her forever and it will be your fault."

Kelsey gets up from her spot on the chair and leaves the bar. Julian turns to face Chase who was eavesdropping.

"She's right, you know?"
