Chapter 6

Lucas didn't know how to respond to what Sam had just said. He just stood there as she continued to cry. Finally Lucas hugged Sam. She cried until no more tears would come and then she and Lucas sat.

"Xavier is Jack's big brother, right?" asked Lucas.

"Yes." answered Sam.

She managed to get the word out without her voice cracking.

"How long ago did he break out?" asked Lucas.

"Two weeks and two days." replied Sam.

"You have to tell Brooke."

"I can't!!"

"Sam this isn't just a little secret this is a matter of life and death for both you and Brooke and maybe other people."

"He already got to Jack. He's hurt and won't tell me where he is. He may be dying and he needs me. I have to find him and help him."

Sam stood up she began to walk away. She knew exactly where she should check….Jack's house. That was the place where Xavier had first tried to kill both Brooke and Sam. Suddenly she wasn't able to move. Lucas had grabbed her.

"Sam I can't let you do this." explained Lucas, "What are you going to do? Go to that house maybe find Jack and get yourself killed. SAM YOU CAN'T SAVE JACK IF X HAS HIM. Now listen to me!!!! I can't hide this for long so you have to tell someone. I will not lie to Peyton so if she asks me what's wrong with you I'm going to tell her."

Sam knew that Lucas really wanted her to tell Brooke but he wasn't going to push it. She knew that she'd have to tell Brooke sooner or later and personally she very much preferred later.

Lucas looked at the broken girl in front of him. He knew she was nervous, confused, and most of all she was terrified. He let out a sigh and put his hands on Sam's shoulders.

"Okay Sam we both know that Brooke does not know you're here so you should get home. Brooke's definitely worried sick. She loves you and I've seen her lately. This is affecting her already. It hurts her to see you hurting. I'm here for you okay you're like a niece to me but I can only do so much." explained Lucas, "And one more thing…don't you dare think about trying to even attempt to find X or Jack. Try and take it easy. If you need to talk call me. Don't hold it in or you'll explode like you just witnessed first hand a few seconds ago. Got it…"

"Yah." Replied Sam, "Thank you Luke… I owe you big time."

"Don't worry when Sawyer's born I have a permanent baby sitter." said Lucas.

"Ugh" said Sam rolling her eyes, "I guess that's more than fair."

Sam began to walk home.

Brooke watched the clock nervously. Sam was two hours late. Peyton had stopped her from practically calling a search squad for her. But Peyton had gone home half an hour ago and Brooke was thinking about calling the cops again. She had already had at least five cups of coffee. She tapped her hands on the counter impatiently. She was worried beyond explanation. She hadn't decided whether to yell at Sam or just hug her when she came through the door. She guessed a little bit of both.

Suddenly Brooke heard Sam's key. The door slowly opened and Sam entered the house. Her eyes were still red and puffy from crying. Sam was kind of pale and she was distracted. She had tried to hide it from Brooke but failed miserably. Brooke rushed to her side. She pulled her into her arms. She waited for the tears but Sam couldn't cry anymore.

"Sam are you okay honey?" asked Brooke, "Why were you crying? Where were you? Do you have any idea how possibly scared out of my mind I was? Samantha I don't understand what's wrong with you lately but you're scaring me."

Sam didn't know how to answer Brooke. She just stayed quiet.

"Sam talk to me please!!" begged Brooke.

"I'm sorry mom." said Sam in a low voice, "I just….."

"You just…what?" asked Brooke.

"I've just been tired. I hardly sleep anymore. It's because I get worried that bad things are going to happen again." said Sam.

Well it wasn't technically a lie. She hadn't really been sleeping, she was tired, and she was afraid that horrible things were going to happen. It just wasn't the full truth. Sam wasn't ready for the full truth to come out yet.

Brooke put some loose hair behind Sam's ear.

"Honey nothing bad will happen to you as long as I'm around. I won't let anyone hurt you ever. You don't have to be scared when I'm around. Do you understand?

"Yah."

"Listen Sam I'm very angry that you had me so worried by coming home two hours late. I was going to call the police Sam. Honey I know it may not seem fair but you're grounded for two whole weeks."

Sam didn't argue she knew that Brooke was only doing it because she loved her. So she would accept the punishment. She decided that she would tell Haley if everything went good.

Sam went to her room and closed the door. Brooke collapsed into a nearby chair. She was happy that Sam had finally talked to her. A huge weight had been lifted of her shoulders. But now she was worried why out of the blue after everything was going great, Sam had started having the nightmares, started being scared all the time, and started pushing her away.

Sam lied down on her bed and got under the covers. She curled up into a ball like she used to do when she was six years old in a home that was horrible. Everyday she'd get yelled at and beat for no reason and there was no one there to comfort her and make her feel safe. So every night she'd curl up in a ball and think about happy things. The things that never happened to her although she longed for them….a good family, a pet, a new start, a good school, friends, and overall…love. Sam had so much emotion building up inside her. She could only do one thing….sleep.

Lucas sat at his desk with his laptop turned on. He had planned to write today but the only thing he could think of was Sam. He knew that Sam had never planned to tell him but she had just exploded. He knew that soon Sam was going to get worse.

Peyton watched her fiancé who was deep in thought. She could tell because every time Lucas was about to write and was stumped he'd put on this face and concentrate really hard. It always made Peyton laugh. She walked over and put her hands on his shoulders kissing him light on the neck.

"What are you thinking about Lucas Scott?" asked Peyton.

Lucas decided to keep Sam's secret for a little while. He was going to cover for her.

"What to write." lied Lucas.

He looked up at Peyton. He could see worried ness in her eyes.

"What's wrong?" asked Lucas turning around in his seat so he was completely facing Peyton.

"Well its Brooke. She is really really worried about Sam." stated Peyton, "She came home two hours late today. Brooke was worried out of her mind. Sam barely talks to Brooke anymore and she's always in her room. She avoids the subject when Brooke asks her what's wrong. She has nightmares every night but won't let Brooke comfort her. And every time that she writes something to release some steam she shreds it after so there's no possibility of Brooke finding out what the hell is wrong with her. She's completely shut Brooke out I'm going to try and talk to her tomorrow since she doesn't have school."

"She's probably just done something that she thinks Brooke will get mad at her for if she finds out." suggested Lucas.

"That's what we thought but then Brooke called me after Sam had gotten home. Sam had been crying. She didn't tell Brooke where she had been but she said that she was scared that bad things were going to start happening again." said Peyton.

Lucas didn't know what to say. He knew that Sam had only said that because she wanted to give Brooke a little bit of closure and relief but without telling her the terrible secret. Lucas' heart went out to Sam. He felt so bad for her. She shouldn't have to be going through something like this at this age. Lucas remembered when he was Sam's age he'd had his own drama with the baby scare with Brooke, his so called father Dan, and just trying to make it through high school. But Sam had been through more than he could imagine and he knew that. She had just found happiness and now it was being snatched away by a heartless piece of trash that had nothing better to do with his life then prey on those who couldn't fight back.

"Sam and Brooke's bond is strong." Said Lucas breaking away from his thoughts, "They'll get through this together. They've been through worse. This is just one more obstacle that they'll overcome and then they'll be okay again."

"I hope your right…I really do." whispered Peyton.

Brooke opened Sam's door. Sam was curled up into a ball sleeping. Brooke thought Sam looked so innocent when she slept. These were the times when Brooke would get furious because she thought of the people that hurt Sam. She didn't understand why anyone would want to hurt her. Sam was innocent. She always loved to have fun even if sometimes the fun that Sam liked to have drove Brooke practically insane. And she always cheered people up when they were sad or were having a rough time. How could someone possibly even think about hurting someone like that? Sam was an amazing kid and Brooke loved her with all of her heart.

Brooke noticed the terrified look on Sam's face. Sam began to toss and turn. Then she began to cry. Brooke sat on Sam's bed. She lightly shook Sam in a failed attempt to wake her up.

"Sam honey wake up." said Brooke shaking Sam a little harder.

Suddenly Sam shot up in her bed.

"DON'T HURT HER!!" she screamed.

She didn't notice Brooke sitting on her bed until Brooke took Sam into her arms and held he rocking her back and forth like an infant.

"Shh Sam your okay…..It was just a dream…. Its over honey calm down." said Brooke trying to calm Sam down.

"Mom." cried Sam, "Please don't leave."

"I'm not going anywhere sweetheart…I'm right here…I promise that I will not leave you." reassured Brooke.

Sam couldn't stop crying. She had had the dream of Brooke dying again and it scared the hell out of her. She couldn't hide this anymore it was killing her.

When Sam had calmed down they laid down. Sam moved as close to Brooke as possible. Brooke rubbed her back and soon she fell asleep. Brooke watched the girl sleeping peacefully in her arms and kept thinking about what Sam had yelled after waking up from the nightmare. She knew the dream had been about her because of they way Sam had acted when she realized that she was in the room with her.

Brooke knew that she had to ask Sam what had happened in the dream but she was going to wait until the right moment. She didn't want to ambush her. That would only make Sam close up more. Brooke knew that she had to save her daughter before the fear completely changed her.
