Chapter 6: Too good to be true

Brooke wondered how Tammy's first day went. She couldn't wait for her to tell her all about it at dinner when she came back from hanging out with Haley. Brooke was also looking forward to spending some time with Jamie. She missed it.

Suddenly she heard the doorbell and rushed to the door. She opened it and stopped in her tracks, starring at the person at the door.

"Sam.." said Brooke.

"Hey." said Sam quietly.

Sam looked up at her mother. This was the first person that ever showed that they gave even the slightest crap about her. She was her savior in more than one way. She took her in when no one else and cared for her. She was the reason tat Sam learned to trust again and let people in. But Sam had left her and for what. The person who was the fault that she was so messed up from the beginning. Sam knew that Rebecca was the woman who gave birth to her but she was not her mother. Sam wanted to come home. She wanted Brooke to hold her and tell her that everything was going to be okay. But Sam was hurting and confused. She had made the biggest mistake of her life and she didn't know how to fix it.

"Come in." said Brooke.

Sam and Tammy went into the kitchen and sat at the table. Brooke turned back to Haley who was standing in the doorway looking at Sam and Tammy. She couldn't imagine what was going through her best friends head at the moment. She knew that more than anything Brooke wanted Sam to come home. She just hoped that she wouldn't push Tammy to the side to have that.

"So what's this about?" asked Brooke.

"You'll have to talk to them. Good luck. I have to pick up Jamie from school. How about we save the whole bonding thing until tomorrow so you three can talk about everything." said Haley.

"Okay. Thanks Hales." said Brooke, "I can't believe she's really here."

Haley gave a small smile.

"Well I will call you later to see how everything goes."said Haley, "Good luck."

Haley gave Sam a quick hug before and waived goodbye to Tammy and Sam. They waived goodbye back. Haley walked back to her car and Brooke closed the door. Brooke walked over to the table and sat down.

"So how was your two first day of school?" asked Brooke.

"Fine." said Sam.

"It was good." said Tammy.

"That's good. So what is it that you two have to tell me apparently? asked Brooke.

"Sam is my sister. Its the real reason I ran away and ended up at your store. I found out she was staying and I wanted to find her so I could tell her that I was her little sister but she already knew. Plus I didn't know about what had happened between you guys so I was going to wait a while before asking you where Sam went. I knew you were hurting so I didn't want to hurt you any more. I didn't mean to keep it from you but I didn't know if you would believe me or not." said Tammy.

"Tammy of course I would have believed you. Why wouldn't I? Yes I was a little upset but that doesn't mean that i don't care. Remember what you said about the trust thing. Well that goes both ways." said Brooke, "Do you understand?"

"Yes." said Tammy.

"Sam how come you never mentioned that you had a little sister?" asked Brooke.

"Because I knew that you would try to look for her." said Sam.

"The wife of the bad couple I was with when...Well the wife works in the group home I was in." said Tammy.

"Yeah if you went looking then it would have got back to her and she would find out where Tammy was and possibly kill her." said Sam.

"I could have helped you somehow Sam." argued Brooke.

"Like you did when you told me to leave even though I didn't want to. Even though all I wanted was for you to adopt me. Even though I always told you that you were mom and I didn't care for Rebecca." said Sam.

"You didn't say that then Sam. You can't blame this all on me. You said you wanted to go. I never kicked you out." said Brooke, "But I know that I made the mistake of letting you go. I regret it everyday Sam. It's not the same without you here."

Those words hurt Tammy. She didn't feel like she meant anything now that Brooke was back. She knew that she was overreacting but she couldn't help it. Sam had been there first. Tammy sort of felt like the third wheel, the forgotten one.

"I want to come home." said Sam with tears in her eyes but I just can't leave Rebecca now." said Sam, "You taught me better than that."

"Well can you at least answer my phone calls once in a while. Why are you blocking me out Sam?" asked Brooke.

"Because I was mad at you Brooke and I still am. One day you will truly understand why. For now I can't tell you." said Sam.

Sam wanted to protect Brooke from Rebecca. She didn't want to lose her. She couldn't. It would brake her. She tried to stay strong and not make eye contact with Brooke. Brooke had always been able to sense what was going on with her but she guessed that that quality had faded considering how long they hadn't seen each other. Sam missed Brooke everyday but Brooke couldn't rescue her this time.

"You remember when we first met?" asked Sam.

"How can I forget?" said Brooke smiling.

(Flashback)

"Legally, yes, but it is so not gonna happen. Where are my designs?" asked Brooke angrly.

"In the cabinet." said Millie

"Okay. I want you to lock it. Change the passwords on the computer again. She's not getting anywhere near the new line. And when I show it to the board and explain to them that I am the one who closed the deal on "Baby Brooke", her little reign of terroris gonna be over, my friend.I'm sorry. We're gonna fight her, Millie. Me and you together... We're gonna fight her." said Brooke

"Yeah. Um, the thing is..." Millie tried to explain

"Not today." says Brooke cutting off Millie.

She goes towards a customer angry.

"Can I help you with something?" asked Brooke

"Uh, no thanks."

"I have to be honest with you. I really don't think that's your best color."

"What?" asked Sam.

" The top you just stole from me." Brooke pointed out.

" Okay, I don't know what you're talking about." lied Sam.

Sam starts to go away but Brooke tears away a clothe of her backpack.

"Really?" said Brooke catching Sam's bluff.

"What are you doing?" asked Sam.

"Shop lifts much?" asked Brooke in return.

"Look, I didn't... I didn't mean to." Sam tried to explain.

"You didn't mean to? Okay. You're gonna need to come with me." said Brooke

The girl pushes away Brooke on a display stand.

"Get off me, bitch!" yelled Sam.

" Brooke, are you okay?" asked Milicent.

"It is just not my frigging day." said Brooke.

(end flashback)

Sam and Brooke laughed. Sam had been so hard headed back then. She was mad at the world and took it out on everyone no matter if they were trying to help her or not. She just didn't care. That was until she met Brooke. Brooke helped her transform into the person she was today. Too bad that that person was slowly fading away. Rebecca was tearing her down little by little and she couldn't do anything.

"Good time's." said Brooke.

"Yeah." smiled Sam.

"Um I am going to go and relax." said Tammy

She got no answer.

Tammy had had enough. She got up and went over to Sam's room. She wasn't surprised that they didn't even notice. She just needed to get away. Tammy looked around the room. She had never been in there before. It was homey she had to admit but it wasn't for her. Brooke had saved it for Sam when she returned and Tammy knew that Sam would come back. She was positive of that.

Tammy took out her phone and texted Alex. She asked her wen the party was going to start. There was no way that she would be staying in Brooke's any longer than necessary. Brooke and Sam probably wouldn't even notice that she was gone. She hated to admit that she was jealous of her own sister but t wasn't fair. Tammy just wanted Brooke to realize that she was there too.

Alex texted her back saying that it was in an hour. Tammy told her to get Layden and meet her at the Rivercourt in ten minutes. Tammy fixed her hair and opened Sam's window. She stepped out onto the lawn and began to walk towards the Rivercourt leaving the safety of her home behind.

When she got to the Rivercourt Layden and Alex were sitting under a tree. Tammy walked over and sat beside laid down and sighed heavily.

"What's wrong?" asked Alex.

"Sam came to the house so that we could tell Brooke that she's my sister. That doesn't bother me because we had to do that eventually. I mean she does deserve to know the truth. But they started talking and soon it was like I wasn't even there. They were so caught up that they didn't hear me or see me when I left. The still don't know." said Tammy.

"Tammy c'mon you have to cut Brooke some slack. You said that Sam has been gone for almost a year. They were just catching up." said Alex.

"But don't think that Brooke doesn't care about you because she would not have taken you in if she didn't yet here you are. She loves you Tammy. Even more now because you and Sam are sisters. But she love you mostly for being you." said Layden.

"I just want her to notice me." said Tammy.

"She does Tammy." said Alex.

"Look I just want to go to the party and take my mind off of all of this. It is driving me crazy. Can we just go? Please?" asked Tammy.

Layden and Alex just looked at each other. They began to walk towards where the party was going to be. They were unaware of the trouble they were getting themselves into. Tammy felt her phone vibrate. She had gotten a text from Haley.

"You okay? How's everything going?" Haley texted

"Swell." replied Tammy.

"Are Brooke and Sam at each others necks yet?" asked Haley.

"Nope its like she never left." Tammy wrote.

Tammy closed her phone and put it back in her pocket. She wasn't in the mood to text Haley anymore or anyone for that matter. All she wanted was too have some fun now. She didn't even realize that she was supposed to take her meds in a half hour.

Sam and Brooke laughed. They were having fun catching up even though there still was that tenseness that lingered as they continued their conversation. They remembered the old times when everything was just a little less complicated. The time when they were a family and they felt that nothing could tear them apart.

"So how is it with Rebecca?" asked Brooke.

That was the billion dollar question . She wondered if she did tell Brooke what was going on would it make any difference. Would it save her or make things worse? Honestly she didn't think anything could get worse but she kept that to herself. Karma had a way of coming turning around on her just when she though she was happy. But she knew that no matter ow hard everything was for her she had to fight it, for Tammy. Tammy was back in her life and she wasn't going to lose her again, not like before, and she was definitely not going to let Tammy anywhere near Rebecca. She would never get the chance to hurt her sister. Tammy was safe now with Brooke. She hoped it stayed that way.

"It's okay." lied Sam, "There are rules that I have to follow as anywhere else and I have an early curfew but other than that it is just peachy."

"Well that's good I guess. So you're happy then?" asked Brooke.

"Yeah." said Sam looking away.

That was the biggest lie ever. She was absolutely miserable. She couldn't stand her life now. She hated every moment of every second of the day. Each day it got worse and each day she became more numb and isolated. Rebecca fed off of this and just kept on. She didn't care. No wonder she had given Sam and Tammy away. She was a dead beat drunk.

"Sam what's up? I mean your acting weird." said Brooke.

"I don't know what you are talking about." said Sam.

"Really than why won't you look at me for more than a second?" asked Brooke.

"Brooke I have to go. I have to do stuff." said Sam.

"Like what?" asked Brooke curiously.

Sam didn't pay attention to her. She looked at the seat next to her and Tammy wasn't there. She saw Tammy get up and heard her say that she was going to relax but she still hadn't come back. Brooke looked too.

"Where did Tammy go?" asked Brooke.

"Wow Brooke." said Sam," She said that she was going to relax and she went in my room but she is still not back yet."

Brooke looked over at the clock. Brooke kept track of Tammy's medicine. She didn't want a replay of what had happened when Brooke had first met her. She had been a mess. Brooke knew somewhat about Diabetes. She knew that if a person didn't take their insulin that eventually they could go into a coma and die. Brooke was not going to let that happen, ever.

"It's time for her to take her medicine" said Brooke

Brooke and Sam got up and went over to Sam's room. They opened the door and Tammy was not there. The window was wide open.

She's gone." said Sam.

Sam suddenly became worried. Tammy was out there somewhere all alone. Tree Hill was a good place but the creepos tended to come out at night. Sam knew that first hand from her times when she slept in a car in the auto shop class of her high school. Brooke didn't know what to think. She didn't understand why Tammy would just up and leave. She knew that Tammy wasn't like that no matter how mush she seamed to rebel against her at times. She knew that this place was her home and it was safe.

There you go.
