Chapter 5: Meeting the family
Sam sat in between her little sisters, Charlotte and Jordan, offering help with their homework when she could. She always helped her sisters with homework because that's the type of person she was at home; she was a kind and helpful person.
"So do understand it now Jo?" Sam asked pointing at a question on her homework sheet.
"I think so" she replied with slight confusion on her face.
"And that's means you have absolutely no clue what's so ever" Charlotte pointed out.
"No!" Jo exclaimed "I do have a small clue of it. Sorta" she said as she calmed down.
"Really?" Charlotte asked with a raised eyebrow "Then answer question 12. 27 times 1.5 add 7.5 divided by 10 equals what?"
"Um… uhh… is it?... 41?"
"Close. Its 41.25, but that's a great answer" Sam smiled. "Well looks like all the homework is done so it's time for hot chocolate" she asked as she stood up from her seat on the floor.
"Yes" the girls shouted. Just then a loud thud came rocketing down the stairs and a young boy jumped into the kitchen where all three girls where now standing.
"Did someone say hot chocolate?" the boy asked.
"Bobby, did you wire cameras and microphone to the living room again?" Sam asked slightly annoyed.
"No" he replied guiltily.
"Liar" Charlotte shouted.
"Am not"
"Are"
"Am not"
"Are"
"Am not"
"Are"
"Am n…" he couldn't finish before their mother walked into the kitchen with a very annoyed and angry look on his face.
"Guys I need you to be quiet I have a business call on the phone so please, shut up" she asked her face softening.
"Sorry dad" Sam apologised.
"Dad, bobby put cameras and microphone in the living room and spied on us" Jordan stated.
Mr Puckett turned to Bobby with a concerned look "What have I said about spying on your sisters".
"I didn't spy on them" he defended.
"Ok well I can't sort this out now I'll do it later" he said before walking out of the room and back to his office.
"So who still wants hot chocolate?" Sam asked all three children.
"Me" all three shouted with excitement.
"Ok let's get started".
20 minutes later the three children sat at the breakfast bar slurping their hot chocolates silently, whilst Sam sat on the counter in the kitchen opposite them also quietly drinking her hot chocolate, the doorbell went off.
"I'll get it" Sam said jumping off the counter and heading towards the door. She made her way to the door and opened it "Hello" she started.
"Hi Sam" Freddie said.
"Hi what are you doi…" Marissa butted in.
"Hello Sam is your father in? I have to talk to him urgently.
"Yeah he's in his office why?"
"Oh I just need to talk to him".
"Ok well just go straight in then"
"Thanks" she said before going inside.
"D'you want to come in?" Sam asked.
"No I'm fine standing out here in the cold" he replied sarcastically.
"Ha-ha come in before I shut the door" Sam stated.
"Ok" he said as he stepped inside.
"So what did Franklin give you?"
"Three weeks, twice a week. No problem" Sam said as if it was nothing.
"Yeah, knowing Carly she could have made it a lot worse".
"As long as my mom doesn't find out anything is fine".
"Cool"
"Well do you want a drink?" Sam asked as the made their way into the kitchen.
"Sure".
"Peppy cola?".
"Thanks".
"So what was that with your mom?"
"I don't know. I got back from football practise and she was freaking out".
"Interesting" Sam said with a smirk.
"Sam! Jo and Bobby poured my hot chocolate on me! And now my head really hurts" Charlotte said as she charged out of the kitchen, she was more upset than angry as the hot chocolate was burning her head. She ran into Sam crying.
"Charley I'll sort it, let's get you sorted out though" Sam said as she gave her little sister a hug. She turned to Freddie "Give me minute" she said before walking into the kitchen. Sam told Charley to sit on one of the bar stools at the breakfast bar and to wait a minute for her to get a cold cloth. "Bobby, Jo come here now!" she shouted rinsing a cloth under the cold water.
"What?" they asked.
"What did you do to your sister?"
"Nothing" they simple replied.
"I beg to differ".
"Whatever" Jo said before starting to walk out.
"Where are you going?" Sam asked sternly.
"TV"
"Room now and no TV, computer or anything else. Or would you like to be the one to clean up the mess?"
"Room it is" she said before running out and before Sam changed her mind on cleaning up the mess.
"How about you Bobby?"
"Room" he said before following his older sister out of the room. . Sam turned to the crying Charlotte and brought the cold flannel and put it to her head.
Because Sam didn't live with her mom and her dad was never really around she took on the role of mother in the house. She looked after her little brothers and sisters, which was quite a big job considering she had 4 sisters and 2 brothers, but she didn't mind because they were happy like that.
Sam never liked to see them upset, she defended them when someone was being mean to them, looked after them at home and healed them when they were sick.
She loved them more than anything else in the world.
"How does that feel now?" Sam asked removing the flannel from Charley's head.
"Better" she sniffled.
"Good but keep it on your head for a little bit" Sam said with a small smile passing the flannel to her to put on her head. Sam suddenly remembered Freddie "I'll be right back I just need to sort something out, ok". Sam stood up and turned around about to look for Freddie when she saw him sitting at the table on the other side of room, having watched the whole event.
"I never saw you as the motherly type" Freddie said jokily once Sam had reached him and sat opposite him at the table.
"I know right, but I am. I look after them. Care for them. Not something you would expect of a girl who just got detention for three weeks for landing someone in A&E about 6 hours ago" she joked.
"Yeah, but it suits you" he smiled.
"Really? You think?" she asked.
"Totally" Freddie replied just as a little girl holding a flannel close to her head walked slowly over to Sam and sat next to her. "Who's this?" he asked.
Sam smiled "This is little Charley. She's had a bit of a problem with her brother and sister which involved hot chocolate" Sam answered with a disapproving look.
"Hi Charley. I'm Sam's friend Freddie" he said cheerfully turning to the little girl. But the girl just hid behind Sam.
"It's ok Charley. He's cool" Sam said to the hiding girl. The girl slowly stepped out from behind Sam.
"Hi" she said with a small smile. The girl quickly turned back to Sam "Why do you have detention for three weeks?" she asked Sam.
"Umm… I had a bit of a problem with some girls at school".
"Did she really go to A&E?"
"Yep" Sam replied. I know that girl has hawk ears but really? But does she have to ask about it? Sam thought to herself.
"I thought you said to mom no more trouble".
"I thought you said to mom you would listen into other peoples conversations" Sam said motioning between her and Freddie.
"Touché" She said with a smirk.
"Ok now it's getting late so time for bed" Sam said looking at the clock that hung just above the end of the table.
"But I'm not tired" she whined.
"Too bad you have to be up early to go on the trip tomorrow".
"Fine" she groaned.
"Let's go" Sam said before picking her up and placing the 6 year old on her hip, as she was very small for her age. "I'll be right back" Sam said before walking out to put Charley to bed.
10 minutes later Sam came down and took her previous seat in the kitchen opposite Freddie. "They still not finished?"
"Nope. I wonder why my mom was so anxious to get over here" he thought out loud, with a puzzling look on his face.
"Yeah, I know I only met her a few weeks ago but seriously she seemed so tense and I'm pretty sure she doesn't usually act like that".
"Oh no. she's always tense for some reason or another but not usually this bad" Freddie said in a concerned tone. "Hey where's my drink?" he asked which just made Sam confused "You offered me a drink".
"So sorry sir I will bring it right out, one moment" Sam said in a fake posh British accent which caused both to burst out in laughter.
Sam came back over to the table a minute later with 2 cans of peppy cola, she place one in front of Freddie and the other in front of herself.
"So what did you say when Principal Franklin wanted to talk to you earlier?" Sam asked. She knew that he would say that he wasn't even there at the time of the fight; Sam had only known him for a short amount of weeks but she knew what he was like just from that.
What Sam didn't know was that Freddie in fact had said that he was there and had seen Sam beat the girls up for no reason, as instructed to by his beloved girlfriend.
"I said that I wasn't there" he said trying to hide the disappointment in his own voice from lying to Principal Franklin about Sam and now lying to Sam about what he said to Principal Franklin.
"Ok" Sam shrugged it off, but she was aware of the disappointment in his voice she just didn't know why it was there.
"Freddie, Freddie. We're leaving" they heard Freddie's mother shout from the main hall.
"Coming" he shouted back.
"Bye Sam, see you at school tomorrow" he said before walking towards the hall to leave.
"Bye".
