Phoebe went into her class and sat down on her chair. Today she was not in the mood to go to school but Brooke had made her go earlier. She still had to get used to people telling her what to do. Although she was happy to meet all her friends again she was very tired as well because she had not slept last night because she was watching "gossip girl" and right now she was afraid because she thought that Joshua had told everyone how she had cried when they had almost had sex. Fortunately nobody was making fun of her.

So, that meant that Joshua was not such an asshole at all and had kept his mouth shut. Suddenly she felt a tap on her back, "He lil one. Why are kids in a class with teenagers?", the girl asked Phoebe and smiled at her. So Joshua had told her that she was eleven and not fourteen?

"Ask yourself emo bitch. You're not even in this class, so get out", Phoebe answered and decided to take a different seat when the girl just laughed at her but finally left the class.

Somehow she found Phoebe kind of cute but on the other hand Phoebe had started the rumor that she was having an affair with a teacher, which ended in having a weird conversation with the principal and the teacher as well. Definitely not the start she wanted at Tree Hill High.

Some hours later Brooke was in her store when she could not believe her eyes. Sam just walked in and looked smiling at her. Immediately a tear appeared in her eyes and she ran towards Sam and hugged her tight. It was the moment she had wished for for so long.

"God, I missed you so much Sam. God. You really grew a lot.", Sam nodded proudly but then looked a bit sad and down to the ground. She had missed Brooke and Julian as well very much and still regretted that she had decided to live with her biological mother.

"C'mon sit down. Why are you here? Where is your...your mom? Haley said you're back at tree hill high and..." Sam burst out into laughing.

"Wow. You are still the same." Brooke blushed a bit and took her hands into hers and waited for the answer.

"Well, yes I am back at tree hill high and kind of have a new enemy from the start on at school. So same old me.", she laughed thinking of Phoebe, "um...I live in the orphanage again...it did not really go well with my...well...Rebecca. But you know me. A car is better than the orphanage." Brooke widened her eyes in shock.

"Samantha. I cannot believe this. Why didn't you come back to us?"

Sam looked down, "I don't know. I mean, I know I really hurt you, when I left like this and…I did not call...because somehow it hurt too much and..."

"Samantha Walker. There is no way you are going to live in a car again. You're staying with us." Brooke said happily and hugged her tight.

"I kind of hoped you would take me back.", Sam whispered and a tear went down her cheek. She could not wait to see Julian. She had missed him so much as well.

"Umm...but it's not only Julian and me any more.", Brooke said thinking of Phoebe suddenly. At first Sam looked hurt at her "So you replaced me immediately huh?", she joked.

"Very funny. No. We did not. It's a complicated story but I have a little sister and she is living with us now. You will love her.", Brooke smiled happily not knowing that this was not going to be the truth. But at the moment she could not believe how lucky she was.

"Wow. So I have a big aunt at home?", Sam joked and Brooke shook her head.

"Well, no...you are older than her. She's only eleven. Although she looks like ten but she is really sweet and caring and fun."

Sam widened her eyes "But...how did Victoria hide her… and..."

"Don't ask Sam. You'll know everything but now c'mon. Let's surprise Julian at home."

Sam was a bit confused by all the news but she and Brooke walked into the house and had to burst out into laughing when Julian looked shocked at them.

"Sam?", he asked confused. Sam nodded and was relieved when he hugged her tightly, "What...why are you here?", he asked surprised and she told him everything.

"I am so happy to have you back.", he said and then looked at the clock.

"Shit. I have to get Phoebe from school.", Sam widened her eyes. Phoebe? She hoped that he meant another Phoebe than the one she already knew.

xxxxxxx

"Phoebe. Remember when I told you that Brooke and I fostered a teenager once but she went to live with her mother?", Phoebe nodded and felt a bit jealous, "well, she is back. It seems like it did not go well with her mother and..."

Phoebe ended his sentence "and she'll stay with you two and wants her old room back, right?" Phoebe looked at the ground and tried to hide her sadness. She did not want another kid at home and definitely not the one Brooke and Julian loved so much.

Julian had to smile at her jealousy a bit, "No, it's your room now and yes, we want her to stay with us but not with us two but us three. I know this is a mayor change but Sam is really awesome and so are you"

Julian felt a bit guilty that they had not asked Phoebe before but everything had happened so fast and of course they wanted Sam to stay with them.

"Sam?", Phoebe asked confused. She hoped that it was not the Sam she thought of.

"Yeah that's her name. She's almost four years older than you and a lot taller.", he went through her hair which made her roll her eyes. Everyone was a lot taller than her, that was no news. Julian opened the door and went in with Phoebe.

Brooke and Sam were laughing happily when they came down the stairs. Sam stopped when she saw Phoebe standing besides Julian. She knew that this day was not going to end well.

"Sam, this is...", but he did not end the sentence because Phoebe ran into her room and closed the door loudly.

"What just happened?", Brooke asked Julian confused and he could not give her the answer but Sam could. They sat down on the couch after knocking like thousand times on Phoebe's door but she did not come out.

"Leave me alone.", was the only thing she screamed.

"Umm...I...this is bad...", Sam stood up and wanted to leave, "I think it's not a good decision to live with you two again."

"No way. You tell us what just happened. Now!", Brooke pointed at Sam who sat down again and rolled her eyes.

"Okay fine. Remember when I told you that I have this enemy at school. Well...it's your sister. She...she kind of dated Joshua before me and now he is my boyfriend...and told me how old she is exactly and that nobody knows but him...and I kind of made fun of her and she...started the rumor that I had sex with a teacher and got me into many weird conversations. And...oh god." Brooke knew what was about to come. She was the one that knew what it meant to have "enemies.".

"I...um...kind of emailed the cheerleaders today how old she is in reality...I am sorry Brooke, I was so mad at her because of this rumor. I did not know that she was your sister."

Brooke nodded and felt a bit helpless. She could understand both of them, Phoebe and Sam. Both of them, Julian and Brooke were just staring at Sam for a while and did not know what to do. This was not the great start they had imagined. Brooke took a deep breath and then answered to a very guilty Sam.

"It's okay. We sort it out. Just unpack your stuff. I am sorry but it's Phoebe's room now but you can have the one besides her. Is…um…is that okay?", Sam nodded.

"Thank you. I promise you I'll make it up to her and...umm...I am kind of sorry.", Sam whispered.

Julian went to her and hugged her, "Sam. We know that Phoebe probably added a lot to your fight. You both will get over it."

It was then Phoebe came out of the room furiously and pulled Sam away from Julian. She felt so jealous at the moment and so threatened that she screamed, "I don't want that bitch to live with us." Brooke had pictured the evening totally different but tried to stay calm. It was a very difficult situation. She did not want to hurt Sam or Phoebe's feelings. And she knew that Phoebe was acting so furiously because she felt threatened by Sam and the jealousy was written all over her face. So Brooke decided not to scream but stayed calm.

"Phoebe calm down okay. And she is not a bitch. She is staying with us and I want you to give her a chance.", Brooke said sternly and took her hand on Phoebe's shoulder. Sam was standing in front of them and unsure what she should do. She felt like an invader.

"Nooo, I don't want her to. I don't want it. I don't want it.", Phoebe stomped on the floor while the others did not know what to do with her little outburst.

"Look Phoebe, I am sor..."

"Don't talk to me.", Phoebe pointed a finger at her and Sam stopped. Wow. This girl definitely had a temper

"I know you don't like me..."

"Huh. I hate you is more appropriate."

"...oookay, you hate me but maybe we could try to get to know each others.", Sam suggested. She kind of felt helpless too when Phoebe rolled her eyes.

"I don't want to get to know you. If she stays here, then I am going to leave.", Phoebe suddenly addressed Julian and Brooke who did not know what to say and looked at each others. There was no way they would kick out their Sam.

"Fine. Try pretending you are deaf. I am packing my stuff. As long as she is in this house. I won't be. I'll be living with...with Jamie.", Phoebe screamed.

"Jamie. How is he? God I missed him.", Sam suddenly said and realized that it was the wrong answer because Phoebe ran into her room and closed the door furiously and packed her stuff. She turned on her music very loud and closed the door that she did not hear Julian's knocking.

xxxxxxx

Meanwhile Brooke went to Sam and hugged her when she saw Sam's face.

"It's okay Sam. There is no way you are leaving us. Don't feel threatened."

Sam looked up at Brooke and nodded proudly, "Thanks Brooke but…I don't know if this is really the right choice."

Brooke looked down and smiled, "You wanted to live with Julian and me, right?" Of course Sam nodded, "And you always loved the ones we love, right?", Sam nodded again, "So, just wait. I promise you that you and Phoebe will get along fine. Just wait.", Brooke hugged Sam tightly and hoped that her sentence was true.

She knew that Sam was not the problem. She knew how openhearted Sam was. A bit like Julian. But she also knew that Phoebe would take longer to adjust to that big change.

Somehow Phoebe reminded her of herself in this moment.

Julian and Brooke decided to play the little game Phoebe was playing and called Haley.

"Look Haley. Phoebe had another of her tantrums and does not want to live with us any more, could she live with you for a while…um…I hope just one or two days." Haley laughed at the other end.

"Yeah of course. But I promise you she won't stay here that long until she gets homesick."

Brooke smiled back "I hope you are right.", but she knew how stubborn Phoebe could be.

xxxxx

I know, Phoebe can be really annoying ;0). It's just that she feels really threatened by Sam. She had heard Brooke and Julian talking about Sam so happily and now this girl is back. And then Sam is with Joshua, Phoebe's ex, and bigger and older than she is...who would not feel threatened? And the thought of having to live with her everyday does not really make her smile!

My last chapter only got one review. But this ONE made me smile and continue this story! Thank you
