I
woke up with someone shaking my shoulder.
"Sam, can you do
me the biggest favor ever?" Pouge asked me.
"When it's
later, I'll consider."
"It's eleven. I don't want Kate
here when Tyler ascends." I nodded. When I asked Caleb and Pouge
what it felt like they said that it was painless. So, I asked Reid,
he said it hurt. I turned over and kissed the top of Tyler's head,
waking him up.
"Happy Birthday." I got up and went into
my room. I took a shower and changed, quickly. I walked downstairs
and saw Kate waiting for me.
"Come on. Let's go." I
grabbed my car keys and purse. We drove to the local mall. It was
huge. Kate and I walked in and I immediately saw Erin.
"Erin!"
I said and she turned around.
"Hey Sam. What's up?"
"Just shopping. This is my friend Kate this is Erin. She
helped me so much on my first day."
"Nice to meet you."
Kate said.
"Wanna come shopping with us?"
"Yeah
that would be nice." Erin said walking with us to a shop.
"What are you going to get Tyler?" Kate asked me.
"I
don't know. I forgot it was his birthday, until last night."
Kate laughed.
"Erin you've been here before. What are the
good clothing
stores for
guys?"
"Well," Erin said dragging me into a store.
I bought Tyler a few shirts. We walked into another store. I walked
over to the men's rack. I saw a shirt and I laughed.
"What's
up?" Kate asked. I showed her the shirt. "Come, Raise
Hell, Leave."
"Reid." we said at the same time. I bought the shirt
and we moved on to the next store. We walked into a sport shop. I
walked over to the t
shirts. I
grabbed a shirt that said ' My first Red Sox shirt.'
"Look
how cute!" I said. Kate smiled, she seemed to panic. She grabbed
my arm and pulled me toward her.
"What?"
"Chase
was just behind you, holding you a knife." I nodded. "I'm
surprised, Erin hasn't noticed your scar." I smiled.
"How
do you think I got away with so many scars at one point without Caleb
noticing."
"Yeah true."
"Guys, I'm
getting a little hungry." Erin said.
"Yeah same here.
Where is a good place to go?" I said, trying to shake of yet
another near death experience with Chase.
"How do you do
it?" Kate whispered to me. "Chase just threatened you with
a knife."
"If I see him one more time, well leave."
She nodded. We had a wonderful lunch. Erin took us to an amazing
place. I looked at the clock, 1:17.
"Happy Birthday Tyler."
I whispered to myself. We walked around for a while longer,
just as we were about to leave. I saw a baby
clothing store.
"Kate?" I said and she noticed the store too.
"Okay."She said walking into the store. I turned around
and saw Chase on a bench, watching us.
"I don't know where
to start" Kate said.
"Your going to have a baby?"
Erin asked.
"Yeah." Kate said smiling. "Should I
get boy or girl stuff?"
"It will be a boy." I said
and Kate laughed.
"You sound sure." Erin said.
"Our
families have always been close, well Kate's boyfriend and my family.
All the first born have been boys. Well, all have been boys. I'm the
first girl born in the family's in 300 years."
"That's
cool" Erin said, we looked around and left the mall. I drove
Kate and I home. I parked behind the hummer. I brought up all the
bags and set them down at the door.
"Hey Girls." Caleb
said from the living room.
"Hey." I said. I walked over
to Tyler and gave him a hug.
"Hey baby." He said
wrapping his arms around me. He kissed me quickly, so Caleb wouldn't
get mad. He sat back down and I sat next to him.
"We saw
Chase at the mall." Kate said sitting next to Pouge. "He
acted like he was going to stab Samantha. Then she saw him watching
us shop." I nodded.
"Well, what did you get me?"
Reid asked. I walked over and brought all my bags over to where I was
sitting. I threw the bag at Reid. I handed Caleb his bag and Tyler
his. They all opened them. Reid, of course, loved his shirt. Caleb
and Tyler loved their stuff also. We all just hung out the rest of
the day. I could tell that Tyler hated the fact that
Chase knew where I was all the time. I was getting ready to go to
sleep, I was all relaxed in my bed. Tyler walked into my room.
"You
okay?"
"Yeah. We'll see how things go tonight. I hope
nothing happens. I don't know how much longer I can take this. I want
him to be gone."
"I know, babe, I know."
"I
love you."
"I love you too." He said leaving my
room.
"Come on, Sam. let's go somewhere." Chase
said.
"I don't want to," I said. Caleb warned me not to
trust him anymore. He was a son of Ipswich. He had lied to me. Caleb
had just broken into the school records, there was no way I was going
anywhere with him.
"Come on babe."
"No."
I said. He walked closer to me.
"Please?" He said one
last time.
"No!" I yelled at him. He slapped me. It
hurt so much. I looked at him, his eyes were black, and so were mine.
He threw an energy ball at me and I went flying, crashing into my
desk. He walked over to me, I tried to think of something I could do
to distract him, or make him leave but I couldn't. He lifted me up by
my shirt and punched me in the face. I closed my eyes, hoping the
pain would go away. He threw me across the room again, to the other
side. This time I hit my head on my wall, hard. All I saw was black.
I woke up in a cold sweat. I sat up in bed, trying to catch my breath. I hated that memory, I was so thankful that Tyler came over that night. His mom wanted to borrow something from mine. I calmed myself down and fell back asleep.
