Broken

Chapter 48

Chris pov...

It has been a week since Sammie came home. She was doing better every day, but it was a slow process... Today I had to get back to work... I didn't really want to. I wanted to be here for Sammie, but i couldn't... I still had a movie to finish which already has been delayed so much due to everything what happened.  I was grateful, they had been so accommodating but there was a limit and i just had to go back. 

Ma was coming over to stay with Sammie and Sophie. Sammie didn't like it, she just wanted to be able to take care of Sophie by herself. She eventually gave in. She knew that she needed help because the doctor had said that the first 3 weeks at home, she had to be on bed rest and keep the leg up. It was not that she didn't like ma being around, but she felt useless, and it bugged her.  She was just irritable because she felt frustrated and useless which i understood. Sophie was being extremely clingy to Sammie, and they would watch movies all day and take naps together. When Sammie tried to do some work, she would throw a tantrum and Sammie sometimes was the only one who was able to get her out of it... 

I arrived at the set and when I was walking towards the entrance I was bombarded by paparazzi. It still had not died down and it was quite upsetting and above all annoying. I put my head down and without saying a word I walked inside. Scarlet was the first to greet me giving me a hug. We talked for a bit about everything and got ready for our scene. The morning flew by and at lunch I called Sammie. Ma answered her phone telling me that Sammie was asleep. Sophie pushed her way into frame making me smile and started talking about her day.

Filming for the day was finally over and I had just another 2 weeks filming ahead. I drove home and was greeted by Sophie at the door like every day. I picked her up and walked to the living room where Sammie was sitting on the couch. Ma was sitting in the chair reading a book. I put Sophie down and she ran off to play again. "Hey sweetheart." I said kissing Sammie. I pulled back but Sammie pulled me in and deepened the kiss. I growled and she smirked. "Sophie is staying over at grandma tonight..." She said smirking with a twinkle in her eyes. "Is she now?" I whispered back raising my eyebrow. She nodded biting her lip.

Ma smiled when Sophie came running in with her little Ariel backpack. "Let's go grandma!" She squealed all excited and i chuckled. "Say goodbye to momma first." Ma told her and she ran over and jumped into Sammie's arms making her flinch but even in pain she would not refuse a Sophie cuddle. Sammie kissed her and I walked them out. "What is going on?" I whispered to Ma when I walked them to the car. Ma shrugged her shoulders. "She asked me to take Sophie for the weekend she wanted some alone time with you. She has been on edge all day. She is getting more and more frustrated and i think she just needs some alone time with you and maybe some distance from me..." She says patting my cheek and i nod... "I am sorry... She is not herself right now... She loves you..." I mumble and ma smirks... "I know... I am not taking it personal. I would be frustrated to if there always would be people in my house... All she wants is to be able to take care of Sophie and do the normal things she cant right now..."

I kissed Sophie goodbye and walked back in. I sat next to Sammie on the couch, and she cuddled into me letting out a deep sigh. "Wanna talk about it?" I asked. She shook her head and looked at me. "I had other things in mind..." She said biting her lip in mind she pulled me into her and kissed me. "Baby I don't wanna hurt you..."  I say and she groans before letting out a sigh... The look on her face is one of hurt and frustration... "You're probably right." Sammie says looking defeated. She pulls back creating distance between us and i feel like an ass... The rest of the evening is awkward as she just sits on the other side of the couch... I tried to cuddle with her a few times, but she rejects that telling me her leg is acting up. We both know it is not, or at least not more than usual but i dont know what else to say and do...
