THIS IS THE LONGEST CHAPTER IVE WRITTEN SO FAR AND I HOPE YOU GUYS LIKE IT…… O AND DON'T THINK I FORGOT ABOUT JACK...LETS JUST SAY THINGS ARE ABOUT TO GET EVEN MORE HORRIBLE FOR SAM AND ITS GOING TO MAKE KEEPING THIS SECRET EVEN HARDER.

WELL THANK YOU ALL FOR REVIEWING AND READING I APPRECIATE IT …SO HERE IT IS…

It had been two weeks since Sam discovered that Xavier had broken out of jail. She had avoided Brooke completely. They barely talked and Sam always changed the subject when Brooke tried to understand what was going on with her. She still had nightmares but she didn't wake up screaming anymore so Brooke didn't know. Sam never went to Brooke anymore for comfort. She just held it in although she knew that it was a terrible thing to do.

After school Sam decided to take a detour home. She was going to take the long way.

She slowly walked home trying to sort things out. Jack hadn't been in school for over two weeks which was strange. Sam had a terrible feeling at the pit of her stomach. She got out her cell and dialed Jacks phone number.

…ring…ring…ring…

"C'mon Jack pick up!!" yelled Sam.

People passing by starred at her but she ignored them. Jack wasn't picking up so she called again.

…ring…ring…

"Hello?" whispered a some what familiar voice on the other line.

It was Jack but his tone was filled with pain. It scarred Sam. Jack sounded exhausted and he was out of breath. He was practically hyperventilating. Another thing that baffled Sam was the fact the Jack was whispering.

"Jack, what's wrong?" asked Sam worried.

"Sam…. I'm so sorry. I was trying to help. I let you down." explained Jack.

Sam was so confused. What the hell was Jack talking about? Sorry for what? And what did he mean by….."I let you down?"

"Jack, what are you talking about? You're scarring me. Tell me what's going on. Why haven't you been in school? Why are you whispering?" asked Sam frantically.

Now she was getting really scared. Jack never acted like this. Not even on the bad days. He'd always stuck it out and hanged tough. What was different now?

"He found me Sam. He's still here. He's going to come after you. He knows I told you. You have to get out of Tree Hill Sam. NOW!!" said Jack, his voice getting a little louder.

He's in tree hill!! Sam didn't know what to do. He'd found her…he'd got to Jack. He still had Jack and he was hurting him because of Sam. She couldn't take it. It was too much. She had to do something.

"Where are you?" asked Sam.

"I can't tell you." said Jack.

Jack hung up the phone. Sam was crying now. She couldn't hold it in anymore. Everything was falling apart and she was about to breakdown. She couldn't run away. She couldn't leave Brooke or any of the other people who she had learned to love as her family, vulnerable to any attempt by Xavier to hurt them.

Sam couldn't go home yet. Not looking the way she did so she decided to go to a place where Lucas had said helps ease the pain in bad situations….The river court.

Peyton knocked on Brooke's door. Brooke immediately opened the door Peyton could tell that she was probably expecting Sam.

"Hey Peyton." said Brooke in a tone that wasn't Brooke at all.

"Brooke what's wrong?" asked Peyton concerned.

"Oh its just I thought you were Sam she was supposed to be here twenty minutes ago." explained Brooke.

"Well Brooke you know Sam she'll be here soon." reassured Peyton.

"Peyton its just she's been so distant since she had this nightmare two weeks ago. She won't even talk to me anymore. She just stays in her room and writes and then she'll rip up the paper or shred it. And when I try to ask what's she changes the subject or leaves the room. I'm so scared for her. I know something is absolutely wrong but she won't let me help her. Peyton she wakes up from these nightmares. I hear her tossing and turning all the time. And she wont come to me she just holds it in" said Brooke.

Brooke knew she was going to cry any second. She loved Sam with all her heart and it killed her to see Sam hurting so much. She knew that she had to let Sam come to her and ask for her help but that wasn't going to be that easy. Sam was stubborn sometimes.

Peyton could see that Brooke was falling apart. She knew how much Brooke loved Sam and there was no doubt that Brooke was hurting. She was going to have a long talk with Sam.

"Brooke, all you can do is keep trying to get through to her. I'll talk to her and see what I can get. B Davis you know as well as I do that Sam loves you and if she's not telling you she's probably scared of how you will react. She probably just made a mistake and is too nervous to tell you what's going on."

"Well than if it's a mistake it's probably a big one because I always tell Sam that she can talk to me about anything."

"Everything's going to be okay B Davis."

Peyton hugged Brooke.

"Thanks P Sawyer." Said Brooke

Sam sat on the bench and faced the water. The breeze ruffled her hair. She took a deep breath and let it out. There was so much going through her head and the quietness wasn't really helping but it was better than being at home with Brooke. She knew Brooke only wanted to help but she couldn't tell Brooke. She didn't know how to. And every time that Brooke gave her a worried look it broke Sam's heart because she was hurting the first person that ever loved her. She was hurting her mother.

Sam heard a basket ball bounce behind her. It made her jump practically five feet into the air. She turned to see Lucas bouncing his basketball.

"Wow, sorry for scaring you." apologized Lucas.

"No problem." said Sam, "Can I play with you?"

"Yah sure." said Lucas.

Lucas took a shot from the three and made it in. He then passed it to Sam. Sam took a shot and made it also.

"Hey you're good. Why don't you play on the team at your school?" asked Lucas curiously.

"I don't know. I just never thought about it." answered Sam.

"Hey does Brooke know that you're here?"

"Yes"

"Are you sure?"

"Lucas I said yes I'm not a liar."

"Okay. Wow you're really tense."

"Can we just play?"

"Okay."

Sam and Lucas started a game. Lucas accidentally tripped Sam. She got up.

"Oh my god, Sam is you okay? I'm so sorry." said Lucas.

"NO!!! IM NOT OKAY!! I'LL NEVER BE OKAY!! HES GOING TO FIND ME!!! HE'S GOING TO KILL ME AND BROOKE!!! IT'S ALL MY FAULT!!! HE HURT JACK. I COULDN'T HELP!!!" yelled Sam

Lucas watched as the brunette haired girl began to break down in front of her. He couldn't understand what Sam was yelling. He put his hands on her shoulder. She continued to cry.

"Sam what's going on? What are you talking about? I can't understand please stop crying." said Lucas.

Sam tried to take a deep breath. She didn't realize how long it took her to finally calm down. She wiped her tears on her sleeve. She took another breath and began to talk.

"Xavier the guy that attacked Brooke" Sam began her voice cracking a little. "He's out of jail."

Then the tears began to come again and Sam couldn't make it stop.
