Chapter 4

Sam's scream woke Brooke up instantly. She ran to Sam's room and found the girl holding her legs to her chest and rocking back and forth, crying her eyes out. Brooke quickly went to Sam and held her in her arms rubbing her back lightly.

"Shh, its okay sweetie it was just a dream. Your okay I've got you." reassured Brooke.

Sam continued to cry. Hearing Brooke's voice made her feel safe but seeing her and remembering the horrible dream scared her to death. She couldn't lose Brooke. She didn't want to leave Brooke's side. She hugged her tight.

"Honey what's wrong" asked Brooke trying to understand what had Sam so scared.

Sam finally calmed down enough to talk to Brooke.

"Brooke, please don't leave." said Sam.

"I'm not going anywhere, I promise." Brooke reassured Sam.

They laid down. Sam rested her head on Brooke's chest. Brooke kissed Sam on the forehead and stroked her hair.

"Sam its okay, try to sleep." Said Brooke

Sam didn't want to go sleep. She didn't want to have the dream again. But she knew she had to. She closed her eyes and tried to relax. Soon enough she was asleep.

Brooke watched as Sam slept. She was worried. She knew one thing though. She was definitely not going to be able to go back to sleep.

The next morning when Sam woke up Brooke was still lying right next to her. Brooke looked awful. Sam knew that she hadn't fallen back to sleep. She finally came to the decision that she was not going to tell her at all.

Sam got up and started looking through her drawers for the clothes she was going to wear. She tried to avoid eye contact with Brooke. But her attempt failed.

"Honey, what happened last night? Why were you so scared?" asked Brooke worried.

"It was nothing." replied Sam, "I'm so sorry I woke you up. Can we just talk later?"

"Okay…." said Brooke.

Brooke knew something was horribly wrong with Sam. She was acting so strange and jumpy. Brooke wondered why Sam wouldn't even look at her. Was she mad at her? Had Sam did something wrong? What was she hiding? Tons of questions flooded through Brooke's mind.

The bell rang and Sam took her seat in the back of the room. She looked at the empty seat beside her.

'Jack's absent what a surprise' she thought to herself.

She didn't understand why she was mad at Jack. It wasn't his fault that his brother was an evil conniving son of a bitch who had tried not only once but twice to kill her mother. She hated him so much and wanted to kill him herself.

Anger was the only thing that could shield her from the temptation of breaking down and crying. She didn't want to be angry but it was better than having to explain later to Brooke why she was crying her eyes out. She couldn't take that risk….not with Brooke.

She knew that Brooke's instinct would be to comfort her and try to help her through whatever the situation was but it was different this time. It was different because if Brooke got hurt she'd never forgive herself.

Brooke starred into space thinking of Sam not even aware that Millicent had been calling her name for about three minutes strait.

"Brooke what's wrong? Hello!? Snap out of it Brooke your really starting to scare me here." said Millicent snapping her fingers in front of Brooke's face.

Brooke snapped out of it.

"What…What's wrong?" asked Brooke totally lost.

"That's what I've been asking you for the past five minutes. What's up with you? Is everything okay?" asked Millicent.

"NO!!" confessed Brooke, "Sam's hiding something from me. Last night she had a nightmare. She woke up screaming and I found her in her room crying and shaking like crazy. When I asked what's wrong she says nothing and apologizes for waking me up. Then she just goes to school and doesn't even say goodbye."

"Brooke when did this start" asked Millicent.

"Yesterday when she had the nightmare, before that she was fine." answered Brooke.

"Maybe she's pregnant." said Millicent.

"HELL NO!!!" exclaimed Brooke.

"Yah you're probably right. You don't give her enough freedom to get pregnant." said Millicent.

"And that's a BAD THING." said Brooke.

Hailey watched as Sam practically broke her pencil as she squeezed it to death. Something was definitely wrong with that girl and Hailey could feel it.

After class Hailey stopped Sam.

"Sam can I have a word with you?" said Hailey.

Sam sat in the front desk.

"What's going on Sam? I've noticed that you're all edgy and you practically murdered your pencil." Hailey pointed out.

"It's nothing really. I'm just tired. I had a rough night." said Sam.

"Are you okay?" asked Hailey, "Have you talked with Brooke about it?"

"Yah actually we talked last night." Sam lied, "Look I really have to go."

"Well if you need me I'm here." said Hailey.

Sam practically ran out of the classroom. She put her back against the wall and took a deep breath. It had been a long day and now she had to go home. She was going to have to be more persuasive with this.

Sam basically knew one thing. Brooke had always protected her from any harm now it was Sam's turn to return the favor.
