Do not own Phantom Stallion.

Chapter 4

Jake took a deep breath and started his truck. It was Saturday, and he felt more guilty than he has since Sam's accident that tore them apart. He just hoped this date wouldn't do the same. As he traveled the 5 miles to River Bend he thought that he also felt kinda glad that him and Sam were going out tonight. He just didn't know if he was happy about it being a date.

"Sam! Jakes here!" Bryanna yelled up as Jake knocked on the door.

"Coming!" She shouted back down. She just pulled up her pair of fresh jeans. She had a green tube top on since it was pretty warm out, but had a jean jacket over top just in case. Her hair was in a high pony-tail. She put on as little make-up as possible: a little eye-liner, and cover-up. She had on a pair of running shoes.

She walked down the stairs and saw Jake. Gosh he was hot. He had a navy blue shirt, and a pair of black jeans.

Jake looked up when Sam came down. It was kinda uncomfortable in that kitchen. Wyatt looked at him like he was plotting his death that very second. Bryanna looked all to happy about something. And Cody well Cody looked like he always did but it was still earie. When he looked up at Sam again, his breath sucked into his body so fast he thought it was like a tornado going on in his body. She looked amazing. Where the heck did that come from? He shocked himself as he thought.

"Ready to go?" Jake said instead.

"Yep, bye guys." Sam said to her family.

"No later than 10:30 (PM) guys." Her dad practily growled.

"Ok, bye." She waved and her and Jake walked out the door. "Sorry about my dad, he's been kinda crazy lately..." Sam said sheepishly.

"Naw, its ok." Jake relied as he opened the door for her. Something he wouldn't even think about doing if it would of been anyother day. Sam blushed but accepted it.

"So, do you like mexican? Theres this place in town that I found..." Jake asked as he came into the truck.

"Sure. I like mexican." Sam said back.

"Ok, nice." Jake rubbed the back of his neck. He decided to turn on the radio, hoping it will cause less tension. They listened to a song that came on.

Here I am - this is me
There's no where else on earth I'd rather be
Here I am - it's just me and you
And tonight we make our dreams come true

It's a new world - it's a new start
It's alive with the beating of young hearts
It's a new day - it's a new plan
I've been waiting for you
Here I am

[Chorus
Here I am - next to you
And suddenly the world is all brand new
Here I am - where I'm gonna stay
Now there's nothin standin in our way
Here I am - this is me


Here we are - we've just begun
And after all this time - our time has come
Ya here we are - still goin' strong
Right here in the place where we belong

[Chorus
Here I am - next to you
And suddenly the world is all brand new
Here I am - where I'm gonna stay
Now there's nothin standin in our way
Here I am - this is me.

Jake looked at Sam before turning back to the road. Everything after that wasn't that bad. They both loosened up.

"Its still me." Sam said gently.

"And nothing will ever change that I will always be here." Jake finished. They smiled at each other.

Sam thought about the date later when she laid in her bed. Her and Jake had dinner and went to see a movie afterwards. He even held her hand! It was about nine thirty when the movie was done, so Jake decided to take her home. They laughed on the way to Sam's place.

"So, I guess I'll see you tomorrow?" Jake asked when they pulled into her drive-way.

"Tomorrow?"

"Wyatt has a horse that I should start working on tomorrow." He answered.

"Ok. I'll see you tomorrow." She said as she got out of the truck. "Jake? Thanks. I had fun."

"Me too. Bye." Jake said after her.

Sam looked at her stuffed horse that layed on the bed.

"I love him"
