A/N: More and more drama seems to be coming out in this chapter. Slowly Kelsey and Sam will begin to get back to normal, but until then Sam and Kylie will have to do. Like I have said before, I do have plans for Kylie's character which more than likely will start happening next chapter with an added character.
Chapter Forty: What do you want from me?
Brooke, Julian and Aidan walked into Sam's hospital room. Kylie was sitting next to Sam's bed and reading a magazine while Sam watched the news.
Seeing her daughter sitting up in bed made Brooke smile widely, Brooke had tears in her eyes as she rushed to her daughter's side, ignoring Kylie all together.
Aidan took a seat in an empty chair. He was sad of this whole situation. He missed his sister greatly and now here she was in a hospital bed. She almost died and Aidan didn't want that to happen.
While his wife fussed over their daughter, Julian went to stand next to Kylie who had abandoned her magazine.
"It's good to see you again despite the current situation."
Kylie smile relieved that someone was talking to her. She was afraid that all of Sam's family wouldn't talk to her because of Kelsey.
"I wish it was under better circumstances too sir."
"I would've called you had I known your number. How'd you find out what happened?"
"The news," Kylie replies simply.
"What are you two talking about?" Sam asks from her bed.
"Nothing babe."
Brooke walked over to her husband as Kylie walked over to Sam.
"Seriously, please tell me they aren't together," Brooke pleads. The look on her husband's face told her she wasn't going to like the answer. "Poor Kelsey."
"It is definitely going to be a few interesting days that's for sure. I don't even know if Kelsey knows about this."
"I guess we will find out soon."
-Defying Gravity-
"How is Sam doing?" Spencer questions as he sits down across from his best friend.
"She's fine, I guess," Kelsey says in a dejected tone.
Spencer takes a minute to look at his friend. He could clearly see sadness written all over her face and he had a sneaking suspicion that Sam was involved with it.
"What happened?"
"I was sitting in the chair and waiting for Sam to wake up. When she did I was so happy. I went to inform the doctor and to call her parents. I walked back to the room and Sam was kissing that bitch," Kelsey says angrily.
Spencer glanced around at the other patrons at the café. He was glad that no one was paying attention.
"Who's the bitch?"
"Kylie Chase."
"Damn," Spencer whispers.
Spencer had not heard that name since high school and when it did it usually involved Kelsey ranting about how she hated Kylie.
"I'm sorry Kels."
"I am too, but I guess it's my fault. I was hoping that Sam and I could just go back to the way we were, but apparently we can't do that. But what I don't understand is if she had a girlfriend, why did she kiss me?"
"Maybe she loves you, but tricked herself into believing that she loves Kylie."
"I didn't say anything about Sam loving Kylie. I don't want that. That can't happen. I won't allow it. She's supposed to love me. She's supposed be with me."
"Or maybe it's time that you let her go and move on."
Kelsey closes her eyes and sighs. There lies the problem. She didn't want to let go. She didn't want to move on.
-Defying Gravity-
Sam had watched as her little brother moved closer to her every few minutes thinking that no one had seen him. Sam saw this however and she knew he probably had no idea of what was going on.
"Mom, Dad, Kylie, why don't you guys head to the cafeteria? I think Aid and I are going to hang out for a bit."
Brooke was about to reject that idea, but she took a look at her son who appeared to sit taller once Sam had said something to them.
"We won't be long," Brooke says with a small smile. "Besides then we can personally get to know Kylie."
Brooke and Julian walked out of the room leaving Kylie standing there nervous.
"Baby, it's going to be okay. Just go talk to them, please," Sam pleads.
Kylie leans down and kisses Sam on the lips quickly. Aidan looked away. He only wanted one person kissing Sam and that was Kelsey.
"I love you. I'll be back."
Sam watches as Kylie slowly starts to head out of the room. When Kylie is out of sight, Sam turns her attention to her little brother.
"You can come and sit next to me. I don't bite."
Aidan shyly climbs onto the bed next to his sister and just waits.
"I apologize. I made you a promise a few years ago and I managed to break it and for that I am truly sorry."
"You scared me," Aidan admits. "Mom and dad were crying and everyone thought you were gonna die and I didn't like that. I was mad at you, but that didn't mean I wanted you to die."
Sam carefully moves her arm around her brother.
"I'm right here and I'm alive so that's all good things. Once I get better I promise you and I are going to do some sister and brotherly things I promise. Maybe we can go catch a movie or play some basketball."
Aidan grins at Sam. He loved having his sister back and everything she said that they should do together sounded fun.
"What are your thoughts on baseball?"
Sam grins at her brother.
-Defying Gravity-
Days later and Kelsey finally got the courage to see Sam. She honestly didn't know how this conversation was going to turn out, but she needed to know where she stood with everything. It's easier knowing instead of not knowing.
Sam opens her eyes when she feels a presence in the room. Kylie was currently staying at a hotel and she needed to sleep. She hadn't slept the last few days, but Sam made her go home.
"Hi," Sam whispers with a smile.
"Hey."
Kelsey steps further into the room.
"You haven't been around lately."
"I have my reasons," Kelsey turns to Sam wanting to get this over with. "I saw you with her. I saw you with Kylie. I don't understand."
"Neither can I," Sam replies honestly. "I can't explain it. I'm with Kylie, sure, but being around you it was like I forgot all of that. And that kiss," Sam smiles. "I missed that kiss."
"I guess I can understand that you had moved on or whatever and I've sort of come to terms with that, but why did have to be her especially after everything that happened between all of us in high school."
"She's not like that," Sam defends. "It was high school. It was hard and she was just trying to find herself."
Kelsey bit her lip and took a seat.
"I told her that she would never get a chance with you, but apparently I was the stupid one."
Sam goes to grab Kelsey's hand, but Kelsey pulls it away.
"I'm sorry."
"What do you want from me? You kiss despite having a girlfriend and you get my hopes up. I waited. I waited three years for you and now you're here, but you're not single and it hurts," Kelsey knew tears were falling down her face, but she didn't care. "Don't play me anymore Sam. I can't take it. What do you want from me?"
"I don't know."
Kelsey stands up from her chair and starts walking towards the door.
"Until you can answer that question, you won't be seeing me for awhile."
Sam watched as Kelsey walked out the door without looking back.
