American Honey

Chapter 16

"Quietly." Jason urged as he stood under the balcony, Nikolas was standing not to far behind him was busy looking through the window of the living room making sure no one was looking for them yet. Most of their two families or at least the adults where gathered around the couch talking.

"Don't look down." Emily muttered to herself as she slowly descended down the trellis behind Sam.

"You know the others are going to be pissed right?" Sam asked as she got closer to the ground, when Jason lifted her the rest of the way down.

"Do you want to stay in a house with both our families, plus your grandmother?" Jason asked as he set her on the ground, giving her hips a quick squeeze before he let go.

"No." Sam responded quickly as she waited for Emily to join them.

"It's war, there are causalities." Nik retorted as he kept acting as the look out.

"I think you are enjoying this a little too much." Sam smirked as she spared a glance to her twin.

"They were not quick enough and I am really not that sad to leave them behind." The man admitted as backed away from the window and towards Sam, "Robin and maybe Molly maybe, I feel a little remorse about." He added as Emily came over towards the two.

Jason grabbed the bag near the bushes before he made his way over to the small group, "Alright, this is were we split up." Jason muttered as he pulled the bag over his shoulder and held a hand out towards Sam.

"What are we supposed to-do?" Nikolas asked his mouth frowned at this news.

"We agreed to sneak out together." Sam answered as she took Jason's hand, "That was all."

"I have a plan." Emily responded as she held out the keys to the mustang.

"Great, hurt my sister and I will kill you." Jason warned as he pulled Sam towards the garage, where his bike sat in front of.

"I don't know about this?" Sam said hesitantly as she glances at the motorcycle.

"Do you trust me?" Jason smirked as he glanced down at Sam.

"Yes, but it's that death trap that I don't trust." Sam replied, only to be picked up and placed on the seat.

"I love you, but we don't have time for you to list the pros and cons." Jason smiled as he gave Sam a quick kiss on the forehead before he jumped on in front of Sam, "We need to make a fast getaway." Jason added as he patted Sam's thigh before he kicked the stand up.

"Kill me and I will haunt you for the rest of time." Sam warned as she wrapped her arms around him, "Not Casper style, Paranormal Style."Sam promised as her grip tighten as Jason started the bike and sped out of the front gate.

Thirty minutes later, Jason and Sam found themselves walking up a trail to the old train bridge. Jason took a moment to just watch Sam take the it in. She had wondered over to the side, when Jason finally spoke.

"This worth the ride" Jason asked as he looked out over the old bridge.

"I think I can get used to that, it wasn't as scary as I though and being close to you doesn't hurt." Sam admitted as she leaned over the railing, "How did you find this place?"

"I was just riding one day and came a cross it. It just became a place I could come to get away." Jason said honestly as he walked up next to Sam and pulled her against him.

"You can see all the stars." Sam smiled as she looked up, "There is the Little Dipper." Sam pointed up as she held a hand out to show Jason.

"You are a star expert now?" Jason joked as Sam continued to show the different consolations,"You never stop surprising me." He whispered into Sam's hair. Which caused her to look up at him.

"I never thought I could be this happy." Sam said after a moment of silence, "Someone who accepts me."

"I never thought that being stuck in a small town would be the best thing to happen to be." Jason agreed as he turned Sam around to look at her in the eye.

"I was so scared to give in completely, but you broke down all the walls." Sam smiled as she looked up at Jason and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Before Willow's Creek, I was going down a dark path, I was carrying so much anger around, I lashed out at everyone. It's like my world was dark and gray, but when you came into my life all the colors came back." Jason explained as he leaned his head down against her, "You brought me back to life and to my family, to that I will forever to grateful." Jason smiled as he leaned down to kiss her.

"You give me too much credit." Sam smiled as she responded to the kiss, "You gave me the courage to follow my dreams and open the bar."

"You are the person I want to spend the rest of my life with." Jason declared as he picked Sam up and backed up to the blanket that he had laid out when they had first arrived.

"Johnny, they left us here." Maxie ranted as she paced in front of the man as he typed away at the laptop in the living room, with Patrick, Ethan, Robin and Kristina spread around the movie.

"Sam is in a relationship now, that means you are going to have to share her now." Kristina responded as she continued to paint her nails.

"They left us all here." Maxie repeated.

"Okay, I will explain it one more time." Kristina sighed as she glanced at her sister, "Sam and Jason have had almost no alone time since they got her thanks to us. You know the whole all of us just dropping in here. It is only acceptable that they try to get away for a little while."

"That is very mature of you." Maxie snapped as she went back to pacing, "I am not losing Sam, she is the only one who talks me out of my crazy plans." She continued, "Most of my crazy plans." She corrected.

"I can't believe the amount of drama that happens in this family." Ethan muttered as he placed an arm around the couch behind Kristina.

"I think of this as my own personal reality TV show, I am think about secretly recording and putting it on YouTube." Patrick announced to the other man.

"You could use Mom's nanny cam." Robin piped up as she looked up from her magazine.

"Why does Alexis have a nanny cam? Do I want to know?" Patrick asked, "Where is it? You know what I don't think that I want to know?" He quickly asked, "Alright, I want to know."

"It's on the bookcase in the living room. What did you think that Teddy bear was?" Kristina asked as she blew on her nails to dry them.

"I thought it was one of yours or something." Patrick hesitated.

"She had it because she claims she wants to know what her stuff is doing when no one is home."

"Do you have a demon?"

"The real reason that she has it is because she wants to check and see what my father is really doing." Robin explained as she ignored Patrick's question.

"The best part is that my Dad knows all about it and uses it towards his benefit." Kristina finished.

"Mac finally scores a point, what is it Alexis a billion and Mac one." Patrick laughed.

"Are you even listening to be?" Maxie questioned as she glared at Johnny again, but it went unnoticed by him because he was too engrossed on the computer.

"Yeah, so continue." Johnny replied not looking up from the screen.

"I don't understand, how she could just leave me here. It's like she doesn't care about me anymore. I am the fun sister and the one she loves the most." Maxie continued as she tapped her heel.

"Crap." Johnny muttered under her breath.

"My life is falling apart and you are playing Farmville?" Maxie asked as she grabbed his computer and was just about to slam it on the ground when the side door opened.

"Sam!" The blonde yelled as she ran to hug her sister, "Why to you have a twig in your hair and a leaf." Maxie asked as she picked the items out of the woman's hair.

"Took a bike ride." Jason explained, "Were we missed?"

"No, the adults are in the dinning room, exchanging horror stories and Edward and the queen of Darkness are catching up." Patrick answered as he stood up, "Apparently they know each other through business and they are already talking about merging the businesses."

"Oh joy." Sam sighed as her phone dinged to show she had a text message. She quickly pulled her phone to show a message from Emily. Once she opened it she was surprised at what she saw.
