Sam and Ben were walking along the beach when Sam's phone began to ring Sam took it out of her pocket. 'Doctor Nicholls speaking' Sam said. 'Its the barrister regarding the court case of Tom Kent' he said . 'Yeah go on' Sam says
' we are pleased to inform you Tom Kent has pleased guilty to attempted murder and he's looking at a maximum of fifteen years in prison' the barrister told Sam 'that's great news thanks for letting me know' Sam says and hangs up
'Who was it!' Ben asked 'barrister. Tom's looking at fifteen years' Sam tells him 'well isn't that great? I think we should celebrate' Ben says Sam nods.
a sinking feeling in her stomach, fifteen years. Tom was going to throw his life away, she should be happy with the verdict but for some reason Sam didn't feel like celebrating. Infact she felt the total opposite, she wanted to know why he did it, why he almost took Ben away from her.
Sam knew a part of her however small that part may be still cared for Tom. Despite what he had done, he was still her friend. She knew Ben wouldn't approve of her visiting him but she wanted to know why.
So she made a mental note to ring tr prison for a visit order when she got a moment alone and Ben wasn't around.
She didn't want to go behind his back but he wouldn't understand. Sam knew she would be risking everything for this.
