Chapter 2
Darrel and Jake were stunned to see Sam standing before them.
"When did you get home Sammy girl?" Darrel smiled
"Last night, how are you?"
"Great, we missed you," Darrel said while nudging Jake
"Yeah, we missed you," Jake said still somewhat surprised
There was an awkward silence, for a moment.
"Can I sit down?" Sam asked
"Oh, yeah sorry," both Darrel and Jake said as if they were just coming back to reality
They made room for Sam in between both Jake and Darrel.
"So, Sammy how's life in California?" Darrel asked
"Different, though I like being close to a beach." Sam smiled that someone made conversation with her.
"Are you glad to be back?" Jen asked
"Yeah, I am, its really weird though." Sam said
"Can I ask you all something?" Sam asked
Everyone at the table nodded their heads.
"How long has everyone known that my dad was engaged to Brynna?" Sam asked not making eye contact with anyone.
Everyone was silent for a while, but Jen was the first one to talk.
" Sam, I'm sorry, but your father made it really clear that he didn't want us to tell you." Jen apologized
"Yeah sorry Sammy girl, your pops said he didn't want any of us to tell you." Darrel also apologized
"Yeah sorry Brat, your dad said he would be really mad if we told you." Jake said
They were all taken off guard when the bell rang.
"I'll see you guys later." Sam said and ran to class
After School
Sam was driving home from school, wondering what she would do when she got home. She wanted to go for a ride, but she didn't want to risk running into her dad and Brynna going for a ride or something.

"Um… is Jake there?" a voice asked
"Yes, hold on one second," Mrs. Ely answered somewhat confused
"Hello?" Jake answered
"Jake, this is Jen, we have a problem," Jen announced
