A/N: Here's another chapter…Hope everyone enjoys it…not much happens, but I do want to inform you that after their senior year is over I will be ending this story, but making a sequel. (Unless people want me to just keep the sequel on this story. I'm making a sequel only because I will be skipping a huge amount of time…a total of 5 years so, help me decide…sequel or just continue on this story?)

Chapter Twenty: Not So Bad

"Explain to me why you didn't tell me that my granddaughter was taken again?" Victoria complains once she enters Clothes over Bro's.

Brooke looks up from the register and sighs.

"Because. You don't need to know."

Victoria places her purse down on the counter and raises an eyebrow. Brooke continues to glare.

"Look, it's done and over with okay. We upped Sam's therapy and John was apprehended so everything will be just fine. She has Kelsey and that's enough."

"That's just a phase," Victoria says not believing that her granddaughter is a lesbian. "It will blow over."

Brooke just ignores her mother.

"What are you doing here anyway?"

"I came to check up on the new line. I hope you have got something for me."

"I have a few pieces, but not enough for a new line quite yet. I'll get there I promise."

"Revenue is up so that's great. I think this new line will do wonders for the company."

"Sure," Brooke says optimistically. She really didn't care about the company right now.

Casey, Spence, Kelsey and Sam were all sitting at the river court. It had been a few weeks since Sam was taken and the day after she got back Sam had told Casey and Spencer what had happened. They've been together ever since.

"What do you guys want to do?" Casey asks with a smile.

Sam moves her head from Kelsey's shoulder to look at her best friend.

"I thought we were doing just fine. I'm comfortable just snuggling with my honey," Sam says with a grin.

Kelsey wraps her arms tighter around Sam. Spencer looks at his girlfriend and smiles.

"Face it Case, you aren't stopping them by any means."

Casey stands up and holds out her hand.

"Take a walk with me then."

"Then I'd love to," Spencer says as he stands up.

"I'm sorry you have such a boring girlfriend?" Sam says with a pout.

"You aren't boring, baby, I love you."

"I love you, too, but I know we don't do anything. I just haven't been in the mood lately and I'm sorry."

Kelsey turns towards her girlfriend with a frown.

"Honey, you've been through a lot. I mean hell you were almost forced into marriage. I understand why you don't want to do anything."

Sam stands up and grabs the basketball at Kelsey's feet.

"How about some one on one?" Sam says with a grin.

Kelsey smiles and kisses Sam softly.

"I'd love to," Kelsey says before grabbing the ball from Sam and going for a lay-up.

"Hey that's not fair!"

"I want to start this movie," Julian announces to Alex with a small smile. "These past few weeks have made me realize that this is what the world needs to see. There's tolerance in the world, but not enough of it. I think this would be the movie to change that."

"Well I'd appreciate that Julian. Does the script need any improvements or is it sufficient enough to start casting?"

"I think we can start casting."

Alex grins and claps her hands.

"Excellent. So, how is everything going?"

"It was difficult before, but it's relief now because John has finally been caught. The next time Sam sees him will be in court unless John pleads guilty so that Sam won't have to go through everything again."

"He'd get the death penalty wouldn't he?"

Julian nods his head.

"From what I know he would which means he would be alive for a long time before actually being put on death row. There are logistics that they have to go through, but as long as he can't get anywhere near my daughter, than that's better."

"It's great, really it is."

Kelsey passes the ball to Sam.

"So, this is game point for you, baby," Kelsey says with a grin.

"Are you going to let me win?" Sam asks.

Kelsey shakes her head.

"Not a chance."

Before Kelsey can make a step forward, Sam jumps up and shoots the ball from the three point line and makes it in.

"That's game."

Kelsey steps forward.

"You missy, have been practicing your outside shots haven't you?"

Sam nods her head with a smile as she walks closer to her girlfriend.

"Yes, I have, is it a problem?"

Kelsey shakes her head.

"Nope, it's just going to make for a great season this year."

"I'd hope so."

Kelsey wraps her arms around her girlfriend and Sam rests her head on Kelsey's chest.

"I love you."

"I love you, too."

Sam walks into her house with a smile on her face. Julian looks at Sam. He was busy making dinner.

"Who put that smile on your face?"

"Kelsey, but maybe it's my life right now. Everything is just falling into place."

"Have you thought about college?"

Sam's smile turns into a frown.

"You just ruined my mood with your college talk dad."

"Sam, you have to start thinking about what you want to do with your life!"

Sam groans and sits down on the couch.

"I remember all I had to think about was whether or not I was going to end up pregnant because of ass face so excuse me if I don't want to talk about college."

Sam turns on the TV and Julian rolls his eyes, but continues to cook dinner.

Brooke strolls inside a half hour later and Sam is still watching TV, but Julian had just finished dinner.

"How is my lovely family?"

"Not thinking about college," Julian mutters.

"What?" Brooke asks confused.

Sam rolls her eyes and gets up from the couch to grab plates from the cub board.

"Dad's talking about college…again," Sam complains.

"College is important Sam. I mean we haven't seen you look at colleges or anything."

"I don't want to talk about it," Sam says as she places the plates on the table.

"How come?" Brooke questions further.

"Because I don't know what Kelsey's plans are, alright?"

Brooke and Julian glance at each other silently indicating to let it go for now. Julian places the finished food on the table and everyone takes their seats.

"How was everyone's rest of their day?" Brooke asks with a smile.
