American Honey
Chapter 6
Sam suddenly stopped as she came to the front of an abandon building causing Jason to bump into her, "Sorry." Sam mumbled as she knelt in the sand at the bottom of the steps, Jason just watched on in confusion as she reached behind them. "There!" Sam cheered as she grabbed a plastic tote and stood.
"Do I want to know?" Jason asked with a smirk.
"This place has been abandon for years and it kind of became our hang out, the only down side no power." Sam explained as she opened the tote and grabbed two flashlights and handed one to Jason, "Upside we are no longer trespassing, Nik and I are the official owners." Sam added as she grabbed Jason's hand and led him into the building.
"Sam, this is pretty amazing." Jason replied once Sam gave him a tour of the place, "You can defiantly pull..." Jason said but stopped once he saw she wasn't listening, she was looking into at the door that led to the back room.
"Do you here that?" Sam asked as she walked closer to the door and flashed the light at the door. Jason didn't say anything at first but walk up behind her, he stopped once he heard a rustling sound.
"It's probably just rats."
"Rats!" Sam screeched as she jumped into Jason's arms, causing Jason to drop his flashlight.
"Well you did say that it was abandoned." Jason replied as he held on to Sam, as soon as the words were out of his mouth there was a loud bang in the other room.
"I don't think that those are rats." Sam muttered as she buried her head into his shoulder, which caused Jason to let out a laugh, "What? What is so funny?" Sam asked not seeing what was so funny.
"I think it's cute that a girl who can kick some serious ass in a bar fight with a man twice her size is scared of a little rat." Jason replied with a smirk as he tightened his grip, "Which is a good thing because it means you need protection.." He added as he walked over towards the bar.
"Yes, I need you to go in there and protect me from those nasty dirty little beasts." Sam huffed as Jason placed her on top of the bar.
"Okay, but you owe me." He smirked as he winked at her and grabbed the flashlight from her.
"This should hold you over." Sam muttered as she grabbed Jason's shirt and pulled him into a kiss.
"Stay here. I don't want the little beasts to get you." Jason laughed as he walked over towards the door.

"Is anyone else worried that Sam isn't back yet?" Maxie asked as she sat around the table with, Nik, Emily, Johnny, Patrick and Robin.
"She was walking to the cove with Jason."Johnny said as he sipped his beer and pulled the blond into his lap.
"So we are okay with Sam just going off with a strange guy?" Patrick asked as he looked around the table, "No offense or anything Emily." He added once his eyes met with Nikolas's.
"Yes, Patrick we are okay with Sam living her life and having a good time." Robin sighed as she grabbed some fries.
"I am just looking out for my best friend." Patrick explained as he held up his hands.
"Hey, anyone not Lucky is a step up. Plus this Jason guy seems like a descent guy and can keep up with Sam, which is a rare thing." Johnny chimed as he kissed Maxie's neck.
"You guys don't have to worry about Jason, he isn't one to mess around with girls. In fact Sam is the first girl that he has shown interest in, in a long time." Emily assured the others as Nikolas put an arm around her.
"Maybe he is not into woman than." Patrick said before he was kicked under the table by Maxie.
"He wasn't the one beat up by a girl." Emily shot back, causing Maxie to cheer.
"I like her, Nik. Emily you are so welcome to the girl. She is in and Elizabeth is out." Maxie cheered as she clapped her hands.
"Sorry to interrupt but I am looking for Sam." Lucky said as he came up to the table.
"No hablo ingles." Maxie said as she hopped off Johnny's lap and headed away from the table, dragging Emily and Robin with her,
"I thought we made it very clear that you weren't to come around Sam." Patrick asked as he stood and crossed his arms.
"You can call off the dogs Nikolas, I just wanna talk to Sam."
"If Sam sees you believe me there will be little talking, more like yelling and begging." Johnny offered as he leaned against the table.
"You and my sister are over and have been for a while. Let it go or I will tell her just how close you and Elizabeth really where." Nik threatened.
"You don't know anything. That slut is a liar."
"I do now, it's funny how open Liz is when there is a bottle of tequila." Nikolas laughed.
"You slept with her."
"After some serious drinking, you are the one who choose her over Sam."
"He what?" Maxie yelled as she stepped out from behind the booth. Taking a moment she caught her breath and glanced around the fair, stopping when she saw who she was looking for, "I have to go." she added taking off again and taking Emily with her.
"Deal with him." Robin order before she went after the two.
"It's in the past, Sam and I were going in to different directions and she was too busy with you two, so I started …."
"Banging her best friend." Patrick finished as he towered over the man, "I am going to enjoy this." He added with a smile.

Sam waited a few moments before getting off the bar, but not before grabbing an empty beer bottle. Just as her feet landed on the ground the door swung open showing Jason with his back to her, she could make out something in his arm, but it was covered by his jacket, "Jason, I swear if that is a rat in you hands, whatever is going on between us is over." Sam threatened as she climbed back on the bar. Jason didn't say anything but kept walking closer to her. "Don't push it, there is no one around I could make you disappear and it look like an accident."
"With an empty beer bottle?" Jason asked as he set walked up to her, "Plus, I thought we settled you were to small to take me." He added with a smirk as he caught her lips in a kiss, before anything could go further the pair was broken apart by a whining.
"What is under that?" Sam asked cautiously as she backed away from him.
"This is what you were so scared of." Jason smirked as he held up the coat, showing a German Shepard puppy.
"Oh my gosh." Sam squealed as she took the puppy from his arms, "You are so cute." Sam cooed as the puppy licked her face, "You must be so scared all by yourself." Sam mused as she hugged the puppy.
"I am jealous of a dog." Jason muttered as he watched the scene take place.

The next morning Sam quietly walked around the backyard and to the bathroom window and just as she was about to set the dog down so she could open the window, someone tapped her on the shoulder causing her to turn around. "Maxie?"
"Walk of shame, twenty-two and twenty four and we are still climbing through the bathroom window." Maxie whispered, "Have fun with Jason?"
"I could ask you the same thing, at least I have my own clothes on." Sam countered as she lifted the puppy back up.
"Thing got a little messy last night."
"I do not want to know." Sam hissed as she heard something on the other side of the window. They both froze as the window opened.
"Ladies" Ethan smiled as he climbed out the window. Sam and Maxie just looked at each other shook their heads and climbed in the window.
"Oh and anything Liz tells you she is making up." Maxie muttered before she closed her door.

Alexis was busy in the kitchen, when Mac came in the door. "You left early." Alexis said as she gave him a quick kiss before he sat at the table, "Did the girls sneak in before you left?"
"Yup and apparently we had a little pest last night, caught him walking down the road. Anyway there was a call out the fairground." Mac explained, "Apparently Lucky had too much to drink and got locked in side the ticket booth."
"That doesn't sound like him." Alexis mused as she placed a plate in front of Molly, "Kids food!" Alexis yelled down the hall.
"Morning." They all greeted except Robin who had stayed over Brenda's.
"Sam, Liz called this morning she wanted to talk to you, she was upset."
"Oh she had it coming." Maxie growled as she stabbed her eggs.
"What did you do?" Alexis asked knowing her daughter all too well.
"I didn't do anything she is just a little clumsy and and a port a potty fell over." Maxie laughed, "While she was in it."
"Good job." Nik laughed as he highfived her.
"I am afraid to ask, did any of you see Lucky last night?" Mac asked as he looked at Sam.
"No and why am I always the first one grilled." Sam said as she stood, "I am not the one who had a boy sleep over last night."
"Sam!" Kristina squealed.
"Everyone for themselves."
"We will get to that in a second."
"He was at the beer stand every time I saw him, but we all left around nine o'clock and went to the cove to watch the fireworks." Maxie said as she cleared her plate. "I got to go." She added as she grabbed Sam's hand.
"So how is that baby brother thing working out?" Nikolas asked with an innocent smile.
