Chapter 8

Brooke looked at Sam who had been crying for at least ten minutes strait. Brooke hugged her and reassured her that everything was going to be okay. Sam pulled herself away from Brooke and looked at her, wiping her tears on her looked her in the eyes. Brooke saw how much pain that Sam was in.

"Mom do you hate me?" asked Sam about to break down again.

Brooke took Sam's hand in hers. Sam tried to look away but brooke soflty grabbed Sam's chin and pulled her back into her gaze.

"Samantha I don't know what your talking about but sweetie I could never hate you. I'll love you no matter what." said Brooke.

Sam was confused. She had truly thought when she saw Brooke crying that Lucas had spilled the beans.

"Lucas didn't tell you." Sam said in a low and hardly heard voice.

"No but why don't you tell us." said Peyton.

Sam was quiet.

"Please honey don't you think I deserve to know? I'm not going to be mad at you no matter what it is. But Sam I want to help you. Seeing you like this hurts me and keeping this secret is hurting you so Im hurting. How can I help you with anything if I don't know what to help you with?" asked Brooke in her sweet motherly tone.

Sam just looked at Brooke with tears in her eyes. She took a deep breath and looked back at Peyton and Brooke who were waiting patiently for Sam's confession.

"Um..Two and a half weeks ago Jack called me in the middle of the night. He told me that he had something really important so I sneeked out." Sam paused waiting for Brooke to yell at her but she didnt so Sam continued, " I met him at the diner. He looked like a wreck so I asked him what was wrong. He at first wouldn't tell me but then he did. He told me that......Xavier broke out of jail."

Lucas drived towards Haley's house. Keeping this secret was driving him crazy to. He didn't understand how Sam could do it although she wasn't in the best shape herself. Lucas had decided that this was a matter of life and death and even though he promised that someone besides himm needed to know. He didn't want to worry Peyton because of the pregnancy so Haley had always been his number one when they were kids and in high school so why not now. He pulled into her driveway and got out of the car.

Haley heard a knock at the door and opened it.

"Hey Luke." said Haley pulling her best friend into a quick hug.

"Hey Hales." replied Lucas.

"Uncle Luke!!!" yelled Jamie as he ran strait for Lucas.

Lucas picked him up.

"So hows my favorite nephew?" asked Lucas.

"Im your only nephew, uncle Luke." said Jamie humerously.

"Oh yah." said Lucas.

"Jamie lets go time to eat. Hey Lucas."called Nate from the kitchen.

"Coming daddy." replied Jamie.

Jamie went and sat at the table. Lucas laughed. That kid was full of so much energy.

"So whats up" said Haley

"I have to tell you something really important." said Lucas seriouisly.

Sam looked at the shocked expressions on Peyton and Brooke's faces and just continued talking.

"On the way home I couldn't get it out of my head. I wondered whether or not I should tell you. I decided not to. I thought you would be safer that way but then I started having the nightmares. He was hurting you and I wanted him to stop but he wouldn't. He said it was my fault and it is. He killed you and I couldn't help you. You always protect me and I wanted to do the same for you because I know he hurt you once and Im scared to death that he will again." Sam paused wiping some tears, "Then you were holding me after I woke up and I felt safe but I knew I couldn't stay that way forever. The next day Jack wasn't in school. He never missed school without telling me so I was worried. After Two weeks he still hadn't come to school. Then he calls me. X got to him and hurt him. He wouldn't tell me where he was. He wouldn't let me help him. He's my best friend and I let him down."

Sam couldn't hold the tears back any longer. Brooke and Peyton were still in shock. Brooke couldn't believe that X had escaped from jail. And now he was after her and Sam. Now everything made sense. The nightmares, the distrust, the distancy it was all a poroduct of that piece of shit X. Brooke now wished that she had shot the bastard but that feeling quickly disappeared. Because she knew that if she had done that then she wouldn't have Sam and she'd be just as bad as Xavier.

Peyton was the first to snap out of it. She got up and sat by Sam. She hugged her. Sam continued to weep. Peyton rubbed her back.

"Okay honey your going to be fine. That dirtbag will not put one hand on you or Brooke do you understand that. Nothings going to hgappen to anyone. And were going to call the cops so that we can find Jack. It's not your fault... I never want to hear you say that or even think that ever again."

Sam turned to Brooke.

"Mom please talk to me." she pleaded.

Brooke couldn't get his face out of her head. She had had nightmares for weeks after the inncident where she had almost lost Sam although she never told her. And now there was a possibility that she could lose her again. This was too much for Brooke. But she needed to hold it together she needed to be strong for Sam. Sam needed her now more than ever.

"Mom!!" said Sam over and over. She was beginning to get scared.

Brooke snapped out of her deep thought. Sam hugged her. Peyton gave her a look of severe sympathy.

"I'm so sorry." said Sam in the exact tone that she used after Brooke decided not to kill X that night.

"Baby its okay. Don't worry I know you were scared. Just sware to me you will never ever hide anything from me again. No matter how you think I'll react remember I love you now and forever. Calm down baby girl I'm not going anywhere." said Brooke beggining to cry with Sam

"I swear." Sam managed to push the words out.
