You are strong part 1

"Sam I'm still here." said a voice.

Sam looked around but all she saw was darkness. There was nobody around. She was alone. There was no Brooke…No Peyton….No Julian…No one… Sam was scared.

"Sam…" the voice called.

"WHO ARE YOU?!" yelled Sam into the darkness.

"Sam you know who I am." said the voice.

"Leave me alone!!"

Sam turned and suddenly something or someone grabbed her. She was turned unwillingly and was now starring into the eyes of someone she knew all to well. She was scared at first. Disbelief flooded through her. He was supposed to be locked away. But she quickly realized that she had nothing to fear. He couldn't hurt her if she didn't show him that he could do anything to break her.

"I'm not afraid of you anymore!" said Sam as she pushed him back.

"Is that so?"

"Yes it is. You can't hurt me anymore. I won't let you. You're nothing. A nobody…a worthless piece of crap who knows how to break people by getting what they love most...But that's not me anymore. I've learned…" stated Sam.

"Sammy...Sammy...SAMMY!!"

X grabbed Sam.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………................................................................................................

Sam shot up in bed. She looked at Brooke who was still asleep.

"Just a dream…just a dream." Sam repeated over and over hugging herself.

She wished she could be as strong as she was in her dream. She wasn't able to protect herself or Brooke or Jack therefore she viewed herself as weak. She wondered why Brooke put up with her. She wasn't worth it. She was a disappointment.

Sam didn't know where this unexpected wave of insecurity had come from but it absolutely overwhelmed her. She was practically at the point of tears. She knew deep down that these things weren't true. Brooke loved her. Brooke was proud of her. But something wasn't letting that register in Sam's mind at the moment.

"Sam…" a tired voice from behind said.

Sam jumped. She turned as Brooke began to sit up.

"Sam are you okay?" asked Brooke worriedly.

She could see the fear in Sam's eyes and the way that Sam had jumped when she had begun to speak immediately gave her the notion that something was terribly wrong. She didn't quite know what it was but of she had to guess she'd put her money on the fact that Sam had had a nightmare about X or something in relevance.

"I had a nightmare." Sam confessed honestly.

"About what…?"

"X, wasn't gone."

"Sweetie come here"

Sam moved closer to Brooke who enveloped her into a hug. Sam rested her head on Brooke's shoulder. Even though Sam was fifteen she loved to have Brooke hold her after she had a nightmare. It always gave her a sense of security and reassurance that everything was going to be okay.

"Sam he's gone. He can't hurt you anymore. I won't let him. I swear to you that I will never ever let him hurt you again." said Brooke.

"I started thinking…that I…I don't deserve you that….I'm weak."

"Hey. Sam never think that you shouldn't be here with me because you should. I love you Samantha more than anything in this world. I need you to know that. And YOU ARE NOT WEAK! Sam you are one of the strongest people I know. Not many people can go through what you went through and manage to ever get past it and be happy. You're strong Sam, okay."

"Okay..." Sam replied as a tear rolled down her cheek.

"I love you Sam and I'm very, very proud to call you my daughter." said Brooke.

"And I'm proud to call you my mother, I you too."

Brooke held onto Sam for a couple more seconds and then she looked at her face. She could see the tear stains and Sam could see the same on Brooke. Brooke and Sam laughed.

"You've made me sappy." joked Sam.

"Shut up…" Brooke laughed lightly pushing Sam.

"I'm going to wash my face and get something to drink."

"Okay."

Sam got up from the bed and went to the bathroom. She splashed water on her face and grabbed a nearby towel. She wiped her face then looked up at the mirror. She noticed the red outlining of Brooke and the descriptive words…loving…brave…strong…B. Davis….all the things that Sam loved about Brooke…but something was missing…She grabbed the marker on the sink and wrote under B. Davis….Mom.

She'd never seen this thing before because she had her own bathroom connected to her room and Brooke never let her use hers. She placed the marker on the counter and saw a shadow go over the sink and the shower curtains rustle. She thought it was Brooke at first and she turned smiling.

"You like….." Sam immediately stopped talking when she realized that this was in fact not Brooke. It was X.

"What….What are you…doing her.?" she asked her voice shaking over the words.

"Now Samantha did you really think that you could get rid of me that easy?" asked Xavier with a sinicker smile.

Sam didn't know what to so. X reached to his pocket and Sam pushed him as hard as she could. X fell into the tub

"MOM!!" yelled Sam.

Brooke heard Sam yelling for her. She immediately got up and went to the kitchen. Sam ran into her. Brooke grabbed Sam by the shoulders.

"Sam what's wrong?" she asked.

"X he's in the bathroom. We have to get out of here." Sam explained.

At first she didn't know whether or not this was real or if Sam was seeing things. Suddenly she saw X getting up from the tub. She knew that they had to get out of the house and get help. But before Brooke and Sam could turn to run out the house a shot went off.

Sam fell to the ground. Brooke saw the blood coming from her side.

"SAM!!" yelled Brooke.

Brooke was beside Sam in a matter of seconds. Sam was crying.

"Sam, honey, hold on okay I'm going to get you out of here I promise." said Brooke as the tears began to run down her face.

She looked up at X hatefully. X was smiling. Brooke wanted to kill him right then and there.

"Well it looks like fate just doesn't want you happy Brooke Davis." said X.

……………………………………………………………………………………………….................................................................................................

It had been half an hour since Sam was shot. She had lost a lot of blood and was barely conscious. Brooke had a cloth against Sam's wound but the blood wasn't stopping. She could feel Sam slipping away and it was killing her. She couldn't lose Sam. Not after all that they'd overcome.

Sam was too weak to even cry at this point. She felt cold.

"Mom…"Sam said weakly and dryly.

"Shh… baby, don't talk. You need to save your strength." said Brooke.

"I'm cold." said Sam.

Brooke carefully pulled Sam into her arms, trying her best not to cause any more pain to her. She wrapped her arms around her, laid her head lightly on top of Sam's and rocked her back and forth like an infant, holding her tight.

"Were going to get out of here..." Brooke whispered.

"You know its best not to lie to her…" X said.

Brooke looked up at him. Her blood was literally boiling because of how angry she was. She knew that if she didn't have to protect Sam right now that X would be dead.

"What!!" Brooke practically yelled.

She felt Sam's body jump. She knew that she had scared her.

"I'm saying that there's no need to give the girl false hopes."

"I'm going to kill you." snapped Brooke.

"Why I mean I'm doing you favor, she's the reason that you have to carry around a gun to feel safe. And I mean she got you attacked. You know that you don't want her."

"Shut up!!" yelled Brooke.

"Tell her Brooke. Tell her the truth. You despise her and this is what you want." said X.

"No…I love her." said Brooke.

Sam felt like the world slowing down. She could hear and see Brooke and Xavier yelling at each other. She felt as though time was running out for her. She was terrified of dying. There was so much that she never got to do. She didn't even get to tell the other's that she loved them. She would never go to college, get married, have annoying and sarcastic kids, see Sawyer get older, or Jamie grow up, or be with her mom forever like she wanted, or see her best friend Jack wake up. She was trying to fight but she was getting tired.

"TELL HER!!" yelled X getting frustrated that he couldn't control Brooke the way he wanted.

"I SAID NO!!" said Brooke, "I do not blame her. It's your fault not hers. She's not the one who attacked me. And the gun is to protect us both from people like you."

Xavier pointed his gun at Brooke.

"Stop!!" said a voice behind X.

X turned to see Jack with a gun in his hand pointed at him.

"Jack put that away." said X.

"Jack." said a weak voice.

Brooke looked down at Sam. She was terribly pale and Brooke knew that she was dying. She couldn't bear that. She wished that she was the one who had been shot instead of Sam.

Jack did not move the gun from X. X still had his gun pointed to Brooke.

"X stop." said Jack, "Just give up and do your time. You've already done enough damage."

"Jack, honestly it's not that easy. Your friend is going to die and so is Brooke Davis. Don't make me have to kill you too."

"You won't kill them."

"As you can see Sam is already dying. In a matter of minutes Brooke will have her blood on her hands."

X pulled the safety again on his gun. He had the gun pointed directly at Brooke. He was about to pull the trigger. Suddenly another shot went off. X looked down to see the blood beginning to form on his shirt. He fell to the ground. Jacks hands trembled as he realized what he had done. He dropped the gun to the floor.

Brooke held Sam because she was crying.

"It's okay Sammy. Its okay." said Brooke.

Jack ran to the phone and called the police. He told them that his brother was dead and that Sam needed an ambulance. Sam was falling unconscious. Brooke shook her.

"Sam you got to stay with me. SAM!! Please don't do this to me. Baby I need you. Please fight. Help is coming." pleaded Brooke.

"M…mo…mom…I…lo…love ….you" Sam stuttered painfully.

"I love you too honey. So much…" cried Brooke.

She was crying hysterically at this moment. Jack knelt down beside his brother's lifeless body. He looked at his hands. They were shaking. He understood that it was self-defense but it still hurt him. Even if X was a psychopathic murderer he was his brother.

In the distance the sirens roared. Help was coming.
