Chapter 14

~Sam's house~

Sam shot up in bed when he heard a blood curling scream. He looked over to Andy she sat up to.

"Isabelle." Sam shot out of his bed ran down the hall way to the spare bed room. He open the door and saw Isabelle thrashing around in the bed. She looked liked she was trying

to fight someone off. She kept screaming stop kicking around. Sam ran to the bed and grabbed her arms.

"Isabelle! Come on wake up. Isabelle." Finally she shot up into his arms. Sam grabbed her and held her. He rocked her back and forth rubbing his hand up and down her back.

She was sobbing in his arms. Sam looked over to the door saw Andy standing there.

"Isabelle your ok it was just a dream." She pulled out of his arms and shook her head at him.

"It wasn't a dream Sam. Something that happen to me a while ago. I still have nightmares about it." Sam looked at her. He knew what she was talking about. Traci looked it up he

read through it before. He wished he could have stopped it.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Isabelle shook her head. She didn't want to get into it now.

"Not now." Sam sighed and nodded his head. He understood where she was coming from.

"I get it. Also I know if you don't talk about it. Nothing will get better for you. I looked it up after you told me to you shouldn't have gone through that alone." Isabelle pulled away from

Sam got off her bed and started pacing.

"I know Sam. Believe me I know. I get you want to help. I don't know why you don't even know me. My life I have found out that when someone wants to help they want something

in return." Sam sighed pinched his bridge of his nose.

"Isabelle, I get that. Really I do. Isabelle I want to help you only because you are my family. I know that I just meet you guys but you shouldn't have gone through that. I was in and

out of foster care. So was your mom she shouldn't have put you through that. She knows how hard it was. I want to help you guys. You guys had a hard life. I want to show you that

life can be easy. You should have to worry about teenager stuff like clothes, boys. Not what is going to happen to you." Isabelle had stop pacing and was staring at Sam. She

looked confused.

"What do you want in return. Everyone wants something." Sam shook his head at her.

"All I want is to get to know you guys." Isabelle looked shocked

"It's never that easy." Sam chuckled at her.

"What fun would it be if it was easy?" Isabelle laughed and shook her head.

"I wouldn't know what to do with myself if it was easy." Sam got up and stood in front of her.

"I get that you haven't had an easy life. I am not saying that it's not going to be easy. All I am saying is that it'll be better." Isabelle took a deep breath and looked any where then

him.

"Ok. Can we just start as just friends. Not as Uncle and niece. I just need a friend now that knows almost everything." Sam nodded his head and pulled her into a hug.

"We can do that. I promise that." Isabelle hugged him back hard. She was holding on like her life depended on it.

"Could you stay with me until I fall back to sleep." Sam nodded his head. She turned around climbed back into bed. She got settled while Sam sat on the edge of her bed. He sat there

watching her sleep. Finally he got up when he thought she was asleep.

Sam walked into his room walked over to his bed climbed in. He grabbed Andy and pulled her close to him. Andy wrapped her arms around him and sighed.

"She will be fine." Sam sighed

"I don't know Andy. I wish I could take away her pain. I wish they didn't have to go through this. I am so mad at my sister." Andy looked into Sam's eyes and saw sadness.

"I get that Sam. You can't do that. All you can do is be there for them. Be her friend first like she asked and then go from there." Sam nodded his head at her.

"I will do that. I promised her that I would. I am going to make it so she doesn't have to bare all of that by herself." Andy sighed at him

"That is what she needs. So did you get her back to sleep?" Sam looked at her.

"Yes I did. We will talk more tomorrow at breakfast." Andy smiled at him

"I'll make her my pancakes. They make everything better." Sam laughed at her.

"You think that they make everything better." Andy rolled her eyes at him

"They do. I know they do." Sam laughed again.

"Ok what ever gets you through the night." Andy smiled

"Oh sweetie you get me through the night. We should get some sleep." Sam nodded his head. They settled down with Andy on her side and him behind her hold her.

~The next day~

Andy woke up before Sam. She got out of bed and walked to the kitchen to start breakfast. She got everything she needed to start breakfast. When she turned around from the

fridge she saw Isabelle standing there.

"Morning." Isabelle stated while looking down.

"Morning. Do you like pancakes?" Isabelle smiled at her

"With chocolate chips?" Andy laughed and shook her head.

"Of course wouldn't want it any other way." Isabelle laughed. Andy hasn't seen her laugh since she meet her.

"Well I'll get started on them." Andy grabbed a bowl and started mixing the ingridents. Isabelle sat down at the breakfast bar.

"Sooo, Is Sam a good guy?" Andy looked up at her.

"Yeah Sam is a great guy. He is always trying to help other people out." Isabelle nodded her head.

"So I can trust him?" Andy smiled at her

"Yes you can trust him. He wants to help you guys out." Isabelle had a weak smile.

"I hope so." Just then Sam walked into the kitchen.

"Hey you guys. How did you sleep?" Isabelle smiled at him.

"Good." Sam sat down next to her.

"That's great to hear. So it looks like pancakes."

"With chocolate chips." Isabelle chuckled at Sam.

"Oh boy." Sam laughed looking at Andy. She shrugged and went back to getting the food ready. Isabelle's phone started to ring. She looked down and saw it was Josh.

"I need to take this." Isabelle stood up and walked out of the kitchen.

When she was out of the kitchen Isabelle answered her phone.

"Hello." She heard a sigh of relieve on the other end.

"Jesus Isabelle. I am so glad that you answered this time." Isabelle sighed and sat down on the couch.

"Hey Josh. Sorry that I didn't answer last night. I just needed time to think."

"I get that. Jamie and I were worried sick about you." Isabelle could feel the tears in her eyes.

"Josh I know I am sorry ok. I just couldn't handle it last night." She heard another sigh.

"Isabelle. I get that but come on it has always been us. You have never done this." Isabelle let out a sigh.

"I know. Look I am ok really. I am over at Sam's house. We are going to have breakfast. Why don't you come over and get to know him." There was a pause. She didn't know

if he would do that or not.

"Umm, Ok Jamie and I can come over now." Isabelle didn't want to see Jamie

"How about just you Josh. We should get to know Sam. He wants to help us." There was another pause. Isabelle got up and started pacing the room.

"Sure. Give me the address and I'll have Jamie drop me off." Isabelle smiled when he said that. She gave him the address and said goodbye. She hung up the phone and walked

back into the kitchen.

Sam looked up when he heard Isabelle walk into the kitchen.

"Hey Josh is coming over. Is that ok?" Sam smiled at her and nodded his head.

"Of course. Is Jamie coming too?" Isabelle shook her head while sitting next to Sam.

"I figured that this would be a good way to get to know us. Just us and no one else. Well other than Andy." Sam nodded his head.

"Ok that makes sense." Andy put food in front of Isabelle. She looked down and smiled. She picked up her fork started to dig in. About 20 mins later there was a knock at the door.

Sam got up and answered the door. Josh walked into the kitchen behind Sam. Isabelle smiled at him got up and hugged him. He hugged her back and looked at Andy. They

walked back to the breakfast bar. Andy put a plate in front of him. She grabbed a plate for her self and started eating. Sam started to clean while everyone was eating. No one said

anything while they eat. Josh looked at everyone trying to figure out Sam and Andy. They finished their breakfast and left the kitchen.

~The living room~

Isabelle sat down on the couch with Josh next to her. Sam sat in the chair next to him with Andy sitting next to Josh on the couch.

"Soo. Thanks for taking care of Isabelle last night." Sam nodded his head at him

"It was no problem. I am here for both of you when you need someone." Josh looked at Isabelle. He didn't know what to say. It was always them.

"That's nice of you but I don't know if we could do that." Sam looked shocked.

"Why do you say that?" Josh looked at Isabelle for help. She just sat there like he would it was like they swapped.

"Well we don't need anyone else in are life. We have everyone that we need." Sam nodded his head. He got what he was saying.

"I get that. Like I told Isabelle last night. I am just here as a friend. I want to help you guys." Josh looked over to Sam finally.

"Well we have Jamie that is there for us." They heard Isabelle let out a smile laugh at that. They looked at her confused.

"Yeah when he wants to be." Josh now really looked confused.

"Isabelle he has always been there for us. Yeah I get it he is gone a lot but he is there when we need him." Isabelle knew that he didn't know what she had heard last night. She

didn't know if she should tell him now or later.

"Josh I'll talk to you about it later ok. Look I think we should give Sam a chance here. He isn't like Sara. He wants to help. Christ he could have sent me away last night but he didn't."

Isabelle looked up at Josh. He looked confused again at her.

"Talk about what later?" Isabelle let out a sigh.

"Not now Josh." He stood up and started pacing.

"We don't keep secrets Isabelle. That has alway been are rule. So tell me now talk about what?" Isabelle knew she should tell him but not in front of Sam and Andy. They needed

to figure this out. She looked over at Sam and Andy. Sam got what she was asking without saying words. Sam stood up Andy followed him

"We'll be out back. Give you two some space." Sam and Andy left the room.

Josh looked at Isabelle waiting for her to speak. Isabelle didn't know how to start this conversation.

"yesterday after I left. I came back to Sara's room. I heard some yelling coming from her room. Josh it was Jamie and her arguing." Josh stopped pacing and looked at her.

"So they were fighting." Isabelle shook her head at him.

"Not fighting well yes they were, but more like arguing. Josh they were arguing about us." Josh ran his hand through his hair.

"Ok what were they arguing about?" Isabelle took a deep breath.

"Us. Josh they were talking about how he left us. How he didn't want us in his life that it wasn't safe." Josh looked at her like she had two heads.

"Isabelle what are you trying to say." Isabelle took another big breath.

"Josh I think Jamie is are father. He left us with that crack whore." Josh started to shack his head fast.

"No Jamie isn't are father. He is are Uncle." Isabelle stood up and glared at him

"Josh I know what I heard. Jamie is are father and he left us. He sent her money to take care of us but still left us with her." Josh started to pace.

"No you heard wrong. You had to hear wrong. Jamie wouldn't have done that to us." Isabelle let out a frustrated sigh and threw her hands up.

"Josh he did that. I know you don't want to believe it but it's true. No one has told us the truth. God everyone is hiding something from us." Josh started laughing.

"Oh and you don't think Sam isn't?" He stated while pointing out back.

"I don't know Josh but now he is the only one that has tried to help us. He has been truthful to us. I really don't know but now I am willing to give him a try now.

Because now what we have done hasn't really worked." Josh shook his head.

"I can't do this now Isabelle. Tell Andy and Sam thank you but I am going for a walk. Unlike you I'll text you where I am and that I am ok." Josh walked to the door and slammed

it when he walked out. Isabelle started to sob when he walked out. She fell to her knees just started to cry harder. She didn't know what to do any more. Everyone has lied to them or

has used them to get at someone. No one has tried to just help them just to help them.
