I stretched and looked around the room, not quite sure of where I was. I knew I was not in my house or even Eric's. I tried to remember what had happened last night as I looked around the room from the unfamiliar bed I was laying in.

That is when the memories all came pouring in again. Last night when I had overheard Eric and Bill talking; when I tried walking all the way back to Bon Temps in a bathrobe; and finally Sam finding me and taking me back to his place.

I sat up and tried to see where he was, but I could not find him anywhere until I noticed a foot hanging off the arm of the sofa.

I was thankful that I had someone like Sam. Yes, we might have had our differences in the past, but I knew I could always rely on him whenever I was in trouble.

I lay back down and rolled over to face the wall. The smell of his sheets smelled like the bar, but there was a hint of a wet dog on them. Normally that would repulse me, but it did not now. The smell was very comfortable and felt more like home than anything else.

"Sookie... are you awake?" I had not even realized I had fallen back asleep, but I was now facing Sam who had a worried look on his face.

"Yes, sorry. I shouldn't have stayed here last night,." I said as I shot straight up and flung my legs over the side of the bed.

"No, no it was fine. I usually sleep on the couch, anyways."

It was always so easy being around Sam. I wasn't sure why, but I felt as though I could be myself with him.

"Thank you… well, I better go. I do have work later today."

He shook his head and said, "Why don't you go ahead and take off today."

"NO! I mean I would like it more if I could work today." He looked confused, but soon smiled at me and nodded his head. When I left, I probably hugged Sam a lot longer and a lot harder than I should have.

I was glad it was morning though, so I wouldn't have to worry about Eric or Bill being there. I wasn't sure if I could see either of them right now. I wasn't even sure what my feelings towards them were at the moment. Of course I still loved Eric, but if he was just using me then I was sure I could never love him again.

I trudged into my house and collapsed right there in the hallway. I tried to get back up, but I just couldn't. Even though I wasn't even certain I ever wanted to see Eric again, right now I needed him more than anything else. I wanted him to wrap me in his arms and tell me it was all a lie. I needed him to wipe away my tears and say he loved me.

That wasn't going to happen though, so I made myself get up and go upstairs to my bedroom. I even managed to pull on my Merlotte's uniform without shedding a tear, but when I realized I still had at least three hours until work started, I broke down once again.

Before I could get to the point where I couldn't move, I grabbed my keys and ran out the door, shutting myself into my car. I knew where I wanted to go, but there were several reasons I shouldn't and couldn't. So I turned on the ignition and headed for Merlotte's.

When I walked in, there were absolutely no customers and Arlene was playing a card game with her kids at one of the far back tables .

"Sookie?" I turned around to see Sam with a worried look on his face and a half outstretched when he realized what he was about to do, he retracted his arm and folded it across his chest.

I quickly waved and headed towards Arlene. I didn't want Sam asking me a ton of questions that I knew he would if given the chance.

"OH GREAT ! SOOKIE!" Arlene shouted as soon as she saw me.

"Hi Arlene…" I was waiting for her to ask me whatever she wanted which I knew wouldn't take long.

"Since you are here early, is it alright if I go ahead and leave for the day?. I couldn't get a babysitter to watch the kids, and I don't want to leave them alone."

I had no choice in the matter, so I shrugged as I sat down at the table next to hers. "Ask Sam," I said. She smiled and pulled me into a hug before she basically skipped towards Sam.

Sam was always a push- over when it came to Arlene's children.

I watched him give the 'okay' to Arlene and within a second she gave an excited yelp and motioned to her kids that they were leaving. She waved good-bye to Sam and me. I realized that now we were the only ones left.

No sooner had Arlene left before Sam come walking towards me and sat down.

"Can we talk, cher?" I sighed and nodded as I stared intently at the door , hoping for someone to walk through it so I could skip this conversation.

"What is going on and where exactly have you been? Arlene has been covering your shifts since you disappeared the other night." I had completely forgotten about me being kidnapped , so I gave Sam a confused look. When I realized what he was talking about, the tears started streaming down my face once more.

"I…I…"

"What's wrong?" he asked as he took my hand into his.

"I can't do this…" No sooner had I said those words than I ran out of the bar and straight into my car without even turning around for a second to check if Sam had come after me.
