Chapter 5
Once the first performance was over and done with, there was a fifteen minute break so everyone could catch their breath and get ready for the next song. Up next was the guys and then Sam himself, a performance that Sam wasn't really looking forward too, but would plough through it for the sake of the Foundation. Sam was grateful for the break though as he really needed to get his head on straight. Andy was consuming his thoughts every minute of the day and now with this event, thoughts of his niece all came crashing back. Slipping out of the praying eyes of people around him Sam found a quiet spot to just sit and think, think of how he wished his niece could have had the wish she truly wanted, wish that he could finally have a normal life and wish he could have Andy as his own.
Sitting thinking wasn't something Sam was good at, he was always the act now take on the consequences later but right at this moment, thinking was his best option. Thoughts of Andy once again came to his mind, seeing her dressed as Sandy with the blonde wig, sure it was no way her style but seeing her having fun, her carefree spirit coming through and it was that, that made Sam realise that he was falling in love with McNally. He scoffed to him, love, him? He never thought he'd see the day when he'd admit to himself that he was falling for someone, harder than he ever thought possible. Sighing and rubbing a hand over his face in frustration he nearly jumped when someone spoke from behind him;
"She really likes you, you know" Traci said as she sat next to Sam, giving him a curious look. She had to hold back the laugh that threatened to come out at Sam's confused expression "Andy…" she said as if it was the simplest thing in the world "She has a lot of trust issues but she has trusted you from day one. She was building her trust issues back up but then Callaghan came along and…" but Traci was interrupted by Sam's voice;
"She told me what happened with her and Callaghan" Sam said knowing that Andy wouldn't mind that her best friend knew. However it was Sam's turn to hold back his laugh as Traci sat staring at him wide eyed in shock;
"She...she told you?" she asked stuttering slightly, at Sam's nod she let out a low whistle "Wow…look I'm totally shocked but that right there tells me how much she trusts you. That kiss at the Penny speaks volumes for Andy so just, please just don't give up on her" and with that Traci left Sam to his thoughts, thoughts that now left him wondering.
She was ready; she was ready to move on wasn't she? Andy's head had been spinning since she kissed Sam in the Penny, she didn't have a clue what had come over her. She knew she had to move on and she wanted too but she could only do that if a certain man was going to be in her life, she knew that for certain and that man was Sam Swarek. She trusted him with her life and that was saying a lot since she hardly even knew him. God she was so frustrated with herself it was driving her insane. Walking around backstage her eyes fell upon Sam and Traci talking in the corner, she couldn't hear what was being said but by Traci's face she could tell that she was shocked with whatever Sam had just let out of his mouth. She watched as Traci spoke before walking away and leaving Sam alone. As she stood watching Sam, she remembered the secret he dropped about his niece and how her wish had never came true. He never told her what the actual wish was but she knew deep down that his niece would be proud of him. Andy's heart swelled at the thought; yeah she was falling in love with Sam Swarek. Closing her eyes for just a second at the realization that she just had, she nearly jumped ten foot in the air when a hand landed on her shoulder. Quickly turning she came face to face with Oliver;
"Jesus Oliver, you nearly gave me a heart attack" she said breathing slightly heavier than a second ago. Oliver though just shook his head before replying;
"I did say your name but you seemed miles away" he said laughing slightly as Andy mumbled an apology as she looked away embarrassed "It's fine though, I really just wanted to ask what the deal is with you and Sam?" he asked, getting straight to the point. Andy done her best to hide the shock that could probably be seen in her eyes right now; "I don't know what deal you are on about Oliver" she said in the best controllable tone she could give. Oliver however wasn't surprised by her answer since he basically got about the same thing out of Sam; "Sam has been my best friend for nearly sixteen years and I have never seen him like this with anyone before apart from you. Anyway today at this event will be hard for him because…" but Oliver was cut off mid-sentence when Andy squeezed his arm;
"He told me about his niece Oliver, I don't know why but he did" she said smiling sad "I'm going to go and see if he's okay" and with that Andy walked away heading for Sam, leaving a stunned Oliver behind.
Sam knew it was Andy taking a seat next to him without even having to look up, it was becoming a sixth sense when Andy was around, he felt her presence before she was even close to him. Turning slightly to look at her, he noticed she was looking right at him with a curious expression on her face. He gave her the best smile he could offer;
"I just needed a moment to myself, with all this…" he gestured around the room with his eyes. Andy nodded; she knew exactly what he was talking about without even having to ask;
"I know, listen your niece would be so proud of you. Sure she is no longer here to see it but she'll know. She'll be proud of her bad ass Uncle for actually showing off his softer side" she laughed out bumping shoulders with him, despite his sad thoughts Sam found himself laughing along with her "Look that night at the Penny I kissed you because I wanted too Sam. It wasn't in the heat of the moment or just because Luke was there. I don't know what this is between us but there is something and I'd like to find out where it could go" she said hopefully but embarrassed at the same time. Sam was shocked as he sat and listened to her speak; he never thought she would openly come out with wanting to actually have any sort of relationship. He was actually starting to think that he would need to be the one to do something but he had been proved wrong. He was about to open his mouth to reply when the announcer broke their moment announcing that the guys where due back on stage. Growling low in his throat Sam cursed the man under his breath, standing he grabbed Andy's hand and pulled her up with him;
"I need to go but we'll finish this conversation later. But just for the record I want to see where it goes too" and before he gave over thought it, he quickly kissed Andy on the lips before rushing off towards the stage. Andy was stunned for just a moment, Sam kissed her back. He kissed her back and it wasn't because he felt pressured after her small speech, only because he wanted the same as her. A full blown smile came across Andy's face as she headed off to find the girls, the next two songs where for the guys and she'd defiantly enjoy it.
For this part of the show the girls sat in the crowd waiting to enjoy the show, a car was pushed onto the stage just as the lights went dim. Everyone around them cheered and whistled as the guys took their places on stage just as the song started;
Sam Why this car is automatic
It's systematic, it's hydromatic
Why, it's greased lightning
Jerry Grease lightning
Sam We'll get some overhead lifters and some four barrels quads, oh yeah
Chris Keep talking, whoa, keep talking

Andy sat absolutely stunned watching Sam on stage, the black t-shirt and tight black jeans he wore made feelings low inside her stomach come to life. She swallowed hard as the guys started the routine from the movie now that the song was on a break. Every now and then though Sam would look in her direction and give her a wink, Andy couldn't help but smile back. The person whistling next to her brought her back to the now, she seemed to get lost just watching Sam. She looked at the rest of the girls only to find them up dancing and cheering the guys on. Andy laughed and rolled her eyes at them, they were acting like silly teenagers but she wouldn't have it any other way. The sound of Sam's voice brought her eyes back to the stage;
Sam Go grease lightning you're burning up the quarter mile
Guys Grease lightning go grease lightning
Sam Go grease lighting you're coasting through the heat lap trial
Guys Grease lightning go grease lightning
Sam You are supreme the chicks'll scream for grease lightning
Go grease lightning you're burning up the quarter mile
Guys Grease lightning go grease lightning
Sam Go grease lighting you're coasting through the heat lap trial
Guys Grease lightning go grease lightning
Sam You are supreme the chicks'll scream for grease lightning
All Lightning, lightning, lightning
Lightning, lightning, lightning
Lightning
The guys finished their performance around the car, as Sam stood on the car. The whole place erupted into cheers, clapping and whistling as the guys took a bow before leaving the stage. The girls didn't bother to move since Sam's solo would be on in a few minutes, they all sat talking about the event but Zoe was the one to excuse herself from them.
The guys were all talking about their performance backstage and once again firing questions at Sam on his singing. Sam for his part brushed it off and just told them that it was a gift just because he was awesome, that comment had everyone grumbling and Sam laughing. His laughing was short lived though when a bloody cursing scream came from behind them, spinning around to look in that direction it was Oliver who was the first to respond;
"Zoe!" he yelled as he rushed towards her "What happened? Are you alright?" he quickly rushed out as he kneeled down beside her, Zoe nodded before replying;
"Yeah I'm fine, just twisted my ankle but I'll be ok" she stated as she seen the worry in her husband's eyes. Sam stood and watched the whole scene unfold, how careful Oliver was with his wife and how Zoe trusted her husband completely. Sam heart started beating fast as he watched, swallowing hard he knew that's what he wanted at some point in his life. The announcer shouting out his name for his solo had Sam pulling his eyes away from his best friend but the thought of wanting it was still in his mind but he only wanted it with one person. As he made his way back towards the stage, a bambi eyed Andy consumed his thoughts once more.
As a backstage staff member placed a stool on stage, Sam was nervous about this part, the last two songs had been done with his friends but this was a solo. A solo that he wasn't too comfortable singing but he would do it for the cause of the event. As he took his place on stage his eyes found Andy in the crowd, his eyes would stay locked with hers for the entire song;
Stranded at the drive in
Branded a fool
What will they say?
Monday at school
Sandy, can't you see?
I'm in misery
We made a start, now we're apart
There's nothing left for me
Love as flown all alone
I sit and wonder why oh
Why you left me, oh Sandy
Oh Sandy, baby, someday
When high school is done
Somehow, someway
Our two worlds will be one
In heaven forever
And ever we will be
Oh please, say you'll stay
Oh Sandy
Sandy my darlin', you hurt me real bad
You know it's true
But baby you gotta believe me when I say
I'm helpless without you
Love has flown all alone
I sit and wonder why oh
Why you left me, Oh Sandy
Sandy, Sandy, why oh Sandy
By the end of the song, the whole place was in utter silence. Sam's eyes had also closed near the ending of the song too. His eyes opened though and cheers emerged around the arena. But the one person he wanted to see was gone, Andy was no-where to be seen. Sighing Sam waved to everyone before walking off the stage, he handed his microphone to someone but just kept walking, ignoring the shouts from his friends. Clearing his throat he needed fresh air and lifted his head to find the nearest exit but the sight in front of him stopped him dead. There standing only a few feet away was the one person he wanted to see. His phone bleeped signally a text, he quickly grabbed it to look and his heart beat quicken and his hands started sweating. Swallowing he looked back up to find the person still standing there and right now he really needed this person.
Wow so there you have it. Just who is the person and who sent Sam a text? Well we shall all find out in chapter 6! The update will probably be the middle of the week! Hope you all enjoy.
