I. Am. So. Sorry. I. Haven't. Updated. Sooner...! I've been in a musical, lots of homework, that stuff... and I just came up with this today while sitting at the computer. I said to myself, Hey! you haven't updated in a while! Why not do a chapter today?! And yeah! That's how the story goes for this... hope you like it and please read and review! :)

P.S. Like I said in my recent Star Wars fanfiction (if you haven't read it, chek it out please!), I am currently running out of ideas. So for you people who like that kind of stuff, please send me a PM or a review on this chapter.

One year. One year since he last saw his dad. Sam skipped school just to see if he would show.

His grandmother asked him,

"Aren't you going to school today?"

"No. I'm waiting."

"Honey, I don't… I don't think he's coming back."

"How could you say that?! Are you giving up on him already?! He's just at work…."

"Sam…."

"What."

Sam's grandmother put a hand on his shoulder.

"I know he will come back one day, but I don't think it would be today."

"Can I still stay home?"

"… Sure."


Later that day, Alan came over.

"Hey, kid, what's up?"

"Nothing."

"'Nothing'? Well, I'm sure I can change that. C'mon."

"No. I don't wanna go anywhere."

"Why's that?"

"I'm waiting for him."

"Who?"

"My dad. He's gonna come. I know he is! He promised….."

Alan sighed.

"Don't worry about him, Sam."

Alan looked him in the eye.

"I know he can take care of himself, no matter where he is."
