A/N: So this is the second piece... I know it's a little odd and it ends kinda abruptly but I have a tendency to drag things out so I thought it was best to stop there... so yeah... oh Victor's rules that are mentioned towards the end are that they have to be out in an open part of the apartment or in Sammy's room but with the door open. So yeah anyway enjoy!

oOoOoO

Milkshakes

oOoOoOo

Sammy was in the cafeteria playing with the mac and cheese on her plate, when Caleb found her; he sat down beside her and wrapped an arm around her shoulders before pulling her into a side hug.

"I just heard," He said apologetically, "I'm so sorry I wasn't here yesterday!"

"It's alright," Sammy said, not even thinking before leaning her head on his shoulder.

"Are you alright though?" Caleb asked in concern.

Sammy just shrugged, knowing that if she said she was fine he'd just ask more questions.

"I know it sounds cliché but you really do deserve better than him," Caleb insisted.

"I know, I just wish I had seen it sooner," Sammy said with a sigh.

"Your problem is that you see the best in people," Caleb said, gently rubbing her arm, "It's also one of the things that makes you amazing."

Sammy flashed him a small smile, "Thanks."

"We both have spare next block," Caleb said with a smile, "and I have my car here, you wanna go get milkshakes or something?"

"I don't know," Sammy said hesitantly.

"Or we could get something to eat that's better than the cafeteria mac and cheese," Caleb said, watching Sammy still playing with the now cold sticky noodles on her plate.

"Ok," Sammy said, giving in, deciding it was better to be out then to be sitting wallowing in her own misery.

"Do you need anything from your locker before we leave?" Caleb asked standing up and offering Sammy a hand.

Sammy shook her head as she took his hand they headed for his jeep.

oOoOoOo

Sammy giggled before taking a sip of her chocolate milkshake. She wasn't sure how he did it but somehow Caleb had managed to cheer her up and make her feel like she could move past Todd.

"Hey, that's what I was looking for," Caleb said cheerily when Sammy smiled.

Sammy couldn't help but smile wider at him.

"I told you milkshakes would help," Caleb said smiling back.

"I think it's more you than the milkshakes," Sammy insisted.

"Well what are friends for," Caleb said in the same cheery tone, "I'm glad I could help."

"Do you wanna come over after school?" Sammy asked, hoping he would say yes, "I could use some help with my biology homework."

"Sure," Caleb said, taking a sip of his own milkshake, "I can help you with your bio, you think you could help with my English?"

"Sure," Sammy said, already looking forward to a nice study session that would probably turn into watching a movie or something.

"Then it's a date," Caleb said with a smile before glancing at the time on his phone, "We should probably get going; the last thing you need is Mrs. Jones freaking out because we're late."

"Uh yeah," Sammy said shuddering at the thought.

Caleb paid for their drinks then they left and headed for his jeep.

oOoOoOo

Victor was surprised to come home to Sammy giggling, after seeing her so bummed out still before school but as soon as he heard Caleb's voice his surprise faded. He was glad to see they were following the few rules he's set, even though they were minor, sitting at the kitchen table, textbooks and papers spread from one side to the other.

"Hey," Victor said, setting his stuff down on the couch, "How was school?"

"The morning kinda sucked but it got better," Sammy said, flashing Caleb a smile.

"Good," Victor said, happy to just hear her sounding happy again.

He eyed them for a second before getting himself something to eat and settling on the couch, turning the TV on and starting to flip through channels.

oOoOoOo

The End
