A/N:
Hey guys! So, I decided to update today, even though I'm right in the middle of writing my speech for Graduation. I hope you guys like this one!
Sam laid in the hospital bed, staring at the ceiling as he listened to the beeping coming from the machine next to his bed. He had only been in the hospital overnight, and he was already sick of it. He looked around at the door when he heard someone knocking on the door.
"Hey," Chloe smiled, "How are you feeling?"
Sam shrugged, sitting up a little, "How did you know I was here?"
"Your Mum texted me, said you might need some company."
"Yeah right."
"Come on, Sammy. We both know you don't want to be locked in here all alone."
"Yeah, fine. You can come in." He smiled a little.
Chloe walked into the room, sitting down on the bed before laying back. She turns to look at him after a moment, "These beds are really uncomfortable."
He laughed, "You didn't have to sleep on it last night."
"You poor thing," She joked, "Did your parents go home last night?"
"No, Mum went to grab breakfast this morning, and Dad went home to check on Alexis." He nodded.
"How is she? I tried talking to her yesterday, and she totally blew me off."
"She's still mad about the whole Harley thing."
"Right," She nodded a little, "So, Matt and Sasha aren't letting her see him anymore?"
"I don't know. I don't even think they know yet. I I think they're still kind of shocked that she lied to them about it, she is supposed to be the good child after all."
"Guess she isn't so good after all." She shrugged, "That makes you the good one now, doesn't it?"
"Yeah, I guess it does." He smiled.
"So, when do you get out of here?"
"Probably later today, I've just got to get my prescription, and I can head home." He shrugged, "How come?"
"I have a gig at Angelos tomorrow tonight, and I need someone to help me practice. Duh." She smiled a little.
"Really? Why do I have to help you?"
"Because you love me? because we're best friends? because I know how to break someones ribs in one hit." She nodded, "Care to test it out?" She smiled.
"No, no. We're good. I'll help you." He chuckled, moving away from her a little.
Sarah walked into the kitchen, staring at her phone, nearly bumping straight into Seth who was purposely trying to trip her.
"uh, sorry." She mumbled, looking up from her phone long enough to move out of his way and walk around him. She walked over to the fridge, opening it and looking for a bottle.
"What's with you today? You're a lot weirder than you usually are, and thats really saying something."
"Nothings wrong with me, thank you very much." She rolled her eyes, shutting the refrigerator, "You're the one who has a problem. Break into any good houses recently?" She smirked.
"Very funny." He laughed sarcastically, "Who are you talking to anyway?"
"Not that it's any of your business, but Casey."
"Again? Werent you just with him yesterday?"
"What's your point?"
"I don't know. Don't you think you should be careful? Especially after what happened with Mitchell back in the city?"
Sarah nearly slammed her bottle down on the counter, glaring at Seth, "Casey is nothing like him, don't ever say that again."
"I didn't say he was like him, I just said be careful."
"I don't need you telling me what to do, seth." She shrugged, grabbing her bottle and walking back to her bedroom.
She sat down on her bed, smiling as she read Caseys Text.
Casey: I might or might not be like, right outside..
Sarah: Might?
Casey: Actually..
She squinted her eyes at the unfinished text, before looking up when she heard the doorbell ring. She stood up, looking out the window before running out into the hall to the front door. She opened it, smiling when she saw Casey.
"I thought you had to work today?" She laughed, hugging him.
"I was supposed to, but I asked Andy if we could switch shifts so I could take you to the beach." Casey smiled, giving her a quick kiss before sticking his hands in his pockets.
"That sounds great." She smiled, "I'm just going to go change, and I'll be ready."
Casey walked inside, watching Sarah walk to her room before walking into the living room and sitting down on the couch. He looked up when Seth walked over, stopping in front of him.
"Hey mate." Casey nodded a little, looking around.
"Don't 'mate' me. Me and you aren't mates where my sisters concerned." Seth shook his head, "We need to have a talk."
"Seth," He chuckled, standing up just to be pushed back down on the couch by Seth.
"You like my sister, right?"
"Of course I do."
"Well, if you hurt her, I'll have to do something, break your Arm or something like that." He nodded. Casey couldn't tell if he was being serious, but he wasn't really in the mood to test that out.
"Okay."
"I'm watching you." He said, staring at him as he walked out of the living room.
Casey shook his head, smiling as Sarah walked back into the living room, "You ready to go?" He stood up, walking over to her.
"Yeah." Sarah smiled, looking down at her hand when she realized he was holding it.
Natalie walked out of her bedroom, heading towards the front door. She peaked into the living room, looking around to see if her Mum or Ash was home, smiling a little when she didn't see them. She grabbed the keys, walking out to the car. She drove a couple minutes down the road, to the one persons house that she never expected she would actually want to step foot in. She parked a couple doors down, deciding it would probably be better if she walked the rest of the way. She made her way to the door, knocking a couple times before someone opened the door.
"Natalie Braxton, to what do I owe the pleasure?" Isaac grinned, leaning up against the door frame as he looked her up and down.
"Trust me, It's not because I wanted to see you." She rolled her eyes, "I actually have a favor to ask."
"So, what times your gig?" Sam asked, turning his head to look at Chloe, who was nearly asleep next to him.
"Six-ish?" She shrugged, sitting up and rubbing her eyes.
"Okay" He nodded, "What time is it now?"
"Two-thirty." She nodded a little, looking at her phone. She looked up at the door when Matt walked in behind the doctor.
"What's going on?"
"Doctor has some news for you." Matt said, looking from Sam to Chloe and back to Sam.
"What is it?"
"We werent clear what the extent of your Injury was." The doctor said, looking down at his clipboard.
"You didn't really tell me anything." Sam shrugged, "When can I go back and play basketball?"
"You tore your ACL. We were able to do reconstructive surgery, but It'll be a while before you'll be able to get back out on the court."
"Wait, you mean I won't be able to play in the championship?"
"I'm sorry." The doctor shook his head, setting the clipboard on the end of the bed, "You'll be able to play next year." He nodded, walking out of the room.
Sam looked at his dad, hoping he would laugh and say it was a joke and that he had paid the doctor to say that. Something that would tell him he would be able to play the championship, but his dad looked just as upset as he felt, "He's not serious.." He said, holding out for a chance that he wasn't serious.
"I'm sorry, Sam." Matt shook his head.
"No, I have the championship next week, and football starts in two weeks, this can't actually be happening."
"You heard him, you'll be able to play next year."
"This is my last year, dad!" He sighed, covering his face.
"Sam, it's going to be okay." Chloe said, placing her hand on his, "Maybe you'll get better before football season starts."
"No, I won't." He shook his head, laying back, and staring back at the ceiling.
Alexis looked up from her phone after hearing the front door close, Rolling her eyes a little when she realized it was just her mom coming home. She looked back down at her phone. She wasn't really in the mood to talk to anyone, so she thought she should stay in her room, or she might have ended up saying something she would regret to them.
"Alexis?" She said, walking into her bedroom.
"What?"
"You dad and I had a talk last night."
"Congratulations?"
"I'll let that go, since you're upset." Sasha shook her head, "We talked about you and Harley, and what we were going to do about that situation."
"let me guess...grounded?"
"No, not this time."
Alexis gave her Mum a weird look, dropping her phone in her lap.
Casey drug his surfboard out of the water, setting it in the sand and sitting down next to Sarah, smiling a little, "You're seriously not going to get in the water?"
"Me and water don't exactly mix, Casey." Sarah laughed a little, looking down at her phone.
"Just once, come on. I'll be right there."
She looked at him for a moment before sighing slightly, standing up and pulling her shirt off, "Fine." She nodded when he stood up. They walked towards the water, where sarah stopped. She took a step into the water, but didn't go any further.
"Sarah? Is that as far as you're going?"
She shrugged.
Casey shook his head, picking her up and walking further into the water, ignoring her mix of laughter and Squealing for him to put her down, "You want me to put you down?" He smiled a little.
"Yeah...wait no." She shook her head quickly, a little too late. He dropped her into the water, barely hearing her yell his name before she went under the water.
"What was that?" He laughed.
She stood up, grabbing his arm, "Why would you do that?"
"Because you wouldn't get in the water."
She pushed him a little, hoping to push him into the water, but it didn't work out like she hoped, and he just laughed at her a little. He shook his head, picking her up again, falling backwards in the water. Sarah laughed, standing up and pushing him back when he tried to sit up, before running back onto the sand. Casey followed behind, sitting down next to her.
"You know what you need to do?" Casey asked after a moment.
"If you say get back in the water, I'll hit you." Sarah laughed.
"No need to get violent, Barrett." He chuckled, "Actually, I was going to say you need to learn how to surf." He nodded, "How cool would that be?"
"Me trying to balance on a board, in the water, doesn't really sound cool at all."
"I could teach you though."
"I don't really have a lot of time to learn to surf." She shrugged.
"How about now?"
She sighed, "It's already getting late, Case. How about tomorrow, after school?"
"Deal." He smiled, standing up, "Come on."
"Where are we going?" She asked, standing up and pulling her shirt on as they started walking up to the sidewalk.
He turned, smiling at her before walking again.
Sam grabbed the set of crutches the doctor had given him, walking behind Chloe and Matt to the receptionist desk. He grabbed his pain prescription, taking a couple of the pills before following Chloe and Matt out to the car.
"Are you feeling any better?" Chloe asked.
"I got out of surgery last night, it doesn't work that fast, Chloe." Sam shook his head, grabbing the handle of the car to pull himself in.
"Right."
"Are you ready for tonight?"
"I think so." She nodded a little, "I've got a set list, if you want to help me go over it."
"Sure." He shrugged, grabbing the paper. He nodded, "Yeah, maybe switch these two songs and that might fit a lot better."
"How about you play with me tomorrow night?"
"What, me and you both sing?"
"Yeah, come on. You sing, you play guitar. It could work." She smiled.
"If I say yes, do I get to sleep for the rest of the car ride?"
"Sure." She shrugged.
"Then yeah. I'd love to sing with you." He nodded.
Alexis walked into Angelos, looking around. She walked over to the bar where Harley was sitting, and sat down next to him. She didn't say anything at first, looking up at him for a moment.
"Hey," She said, looking down at the counter.
"Oh, hey." He nodded a little.
"Can we talk? Privately?"
He looked around the restaurant, nodding as he stood up, walking over to the storage closet behind her, "What is it?" He asked, leaning against the wall.
"I talked to my parents."
"About?"
"About what?"
"About us."
"Since when is there an Us, alexis? You saw dad's reaction when he saw us the other night, he was mad and I know for sure your parents are too."
"Mum invited you over for dinner tomorrow night." She said quickly.
"She what?"
"Mum and Dad want you to come to our house tomorrow night for dinner." She nodded.
"Seriously? This isnt one of those 'Invite them for dinner, and kill him while no ones looking' things, is it?"
"Is that really a thing now?" She laughed a little.
"I don't know." He shrugged.
"So, are you going to come or what?"
"Yeah, I'll be there." He smiled, kissing her on the cheek before walking back behind the counter to get back to work.
Casey and Sarah sat on the couch in the living room at his house, watching a movie. Well, Sarah was watching the Movie, Casey was watching Sarah, smiling a little.
Sarah looked up at him, raising an eyebrow at him, "What are you smiling at?"
"You." He smiled.
"Why?" She asked slowly.
"I don't know." He chuckled, "Because you're amazing."
She laughed a little, looking back at the tv before looking back at him, "You're pretty amazing yourself, Casey Braxton."
He smiled, placing his hand on her cheek and leaning in to kiss her. He ran his fingers through her hair, his smile momentarily falling when she pulled away.
"Casey?"
"Yeah?"
"Thanks for today." She smiled, kissing him back as He pushed her back against the arm of the couch. He smiled a little, pulling at the hem of her shirt.
The kiss ended a lot sooner than Casey had hoped it would, when his Mum walked into the house.
"Case."
Sarah and Casey both sat up, moving away from each other, "Mum, I thought you werent going to be back until later."
"I got home early, good thing I think." Rikki nodded, looking at the two of them, "Sarah, I think its time for you to get home."
"I'll drive you." Casey nodded, standing up.
"I'll drive her, don't you have homework?"
Casey nodded, looking back at Sarah, "I'll see you later."
"Bye." Sarah nodded, standing up and following Rikki out the door.
Natalie quietly walked back into the house, setting the keys on the table as she passed it. She noticed the lights were on, which meant Ash and her Mum were probably home. She walked towards her bedroom, hoping she would go unnoticed.
"Hey, where were you?" Denny asked, looking at her as she walked across the hall.
Natalie backed up, walking into the living room, "Uh, I had to go pick up some stuff for a school assignment." She nodded a little.
"Are you alright? You look a little pale." Ash said, walking up next to her.
"Yeah, no. I'm fine."
"Maybe you should get some sleep." He nodded, placing his hand on her shoulder, squeezing a little.
"Yeah, maybe." She smiled a little, backing away from him, "I'll see you guys in the morning." She nodded, walking into the hallway and bumping into Hayden.
"What homework assignment?" Hayden asked, crossing his arms.
"One for English."
"Really? Where's the assignment?"
"Tend to your own business, you grot." She shook her head, walking into her room and closing the door behind her.
She glanced at the door before walking over to the mirror, pulling the back of her sweatshirt down a little, enough to see a small bandage on her shoulder. She pulled it off to reveal a small 'All or Nothing' tattoo. She smiled a little, fixing her shirt before walking over to her bed.

Reviews:
fanfiction.79: I'm glad you like Ryan. Yeah, not going to lie, but some of the stuff Ryans done is based off personal experiences, so I know what he feels like. It's still going to take Natalie a little while to get used to the whole...Ash being a dad thing, but she'll get there. :) There will be plenty of scenes between Hayden and Ash a little later. Thanks for reviewing!
LibbyBxx: Thank you! I'm glad you're liking Amber. I definitely have some good storylines planned for her. Thanks for reviewing!
FrankElza: Not good, I can tell you that! See, She's a lot like Heath, so she's a bit stubborn. Heath has a tendency of overreacting, so I dont think he would be nearly as mad about Harley and Alexis as he will be about Taylor leaving with Drew.
Aw, I'm glad you liked The bit with Nat and Ash! :) I'm pretty sure it was a Bear too...just saying. Amber and Landon's scene was my favourite bit to write, so I'm glad you liked it. :)
Ryan is very fueled by his emotion, and thats going to get him into quite a bit of trouble.
I think Heath might be more occupied with Taylor to have time to be worried about Harley's relationship. I'm glad you liked the TUMBLR page. :) I worked a while on it. haha. How was love child? I havent seen it yet. Doesnt Lincolns character come in episode 3?
Guest: Yes, Brax should come back, shouldnt he? SO many people have already said that. XD I'm not sure how yet, but I'm considering a few options. :) Thanks for the read, and review!
Thank all of you guys for reading and Reviewing! I'm so glad you're all enjoying this. Honestly, I didnt think anyone was going to give it a chance, but I was pleasantly surprised! I hope you will continue to read, because I have some really big plans for the rest of this story.
There are about six more chapters in this one. I told you guys I was writing it in Series format, so 13 episodes per series. Good news, I wont be taking a long break between series'. :) (Since I have all the way through series 3 planned out.) So I hope you guys will stick around for that. :)
