Russell

She's Too High Class For You

Russell

Phoebe was still hugging Sam as we assured everyone that she was ok. Meanwhile, Uncle Fred and Russell gave their statements to the officer. "I would still like to have her come down to the station for a written statement if you don't mind." the officer told me, making me look at her worriedly.  I was still pretty pissed off and if it wasn't for my uncle I probably would have kept punching the daylights out of Craig.

I don't care who the hell he thinks he is. I will not allow him to keep bothering Sam and I will definitely not allow her to ever touch her again.

"Very well, officer. I will take her myself if you don't mind," I say, looking back at the officer.

They contemplate, making Sam look at me nervously. The last I need is to have her ride in the back of a police vehicle as if she were a criminal. "I'm sure there would be no problem. Make sure it's today though. I can't keep him unless you officially sign a statement to press charges against him." he says, making me groan inside.

I never thought I'd be dealing with something this severe. I don't care how much this costs me, I'm going to make sure Craig never comes near Sam again.

I drove her to the station where she repeated everything that happened. I bet she was so scared, especially since she had to be alone in the room with the officer. Phoebe and Uncle Fred waited for me outside until Sam came back out. I  held my phone to my ear, clenching my jaw as I talked with someone who I knew had to help me with this situation. They had to help, they just had to. "Hey, gotta go. I'll keep you updated. Thanks again, man!" I said,  ending the call as soon as I saw her come out.

"How was it? Are you ok?" Uncle Fred asks as I hug her tightly, making her bury her head in my chest, hugging me tightly. "I can assure you he will not lay a hand on you again, ma'am. Even if he lawyers up, they can't do anything about the fact that he will now be a registered sex offender. He has no way out of this one." the officer says with a glare.

"Sam... Sam!" Sam's parents called her name, making me turn. "Mom... dad!" She called out to them, holding her hands out for her dad. He hugs her tightly, causing her to cry again. "Oh, sweetheart. Are you ok? I tried getting here as soon as we heard. Russell, thank you for taking care of my daughter, son. I owe you big time." her dad says, shaking my hand firmly.

"Don't need to thank me, sir. I'd do anything for Sam and to keep her safe." I stated, making her mom give me an odd look.

"Sam, what about Craig? How is he? You're not really thinking of pressing charges against him, are you?" she asks, making me clench my jaw.

"Mom! Are you serious right now?" she says, looking at her with shock in her eyes.

"Well, come on Sam. I'm sure it was just a big mistake. You and Craig have a long history. He loves you, you know he would never hurt you." she says, gesturing to Sam, making Sam look at the rim in disbelief.

"I can't believe you, Mom. I knew you hadn't changed. How can you say such a thing?"

"Of, please... you always overreact when it comes to Craig. You and I both know he would never lay a hand on you."

"And yet he did! I don't care what you believe. I am going through with my case. Craig will pay the consequences."

"Honestly, what is wrong with you, sweetheart? This is not like you. Not like you at all. This is your daughter for fucks sake!" Sam's dad adds, making the woman clench her jaw, looking at them in anger.

"Well, I don't care what you two say. I am not believing this whole drama of yours. You are too spoiled, Sam. You need to take responsibility for your actions. God knows what you've been up to to have ticked him off. I told you many times to be more ladylike. This whole thing of you living with a man and being in an open promiscuous relationship, what do you think people are saying? It's no wonder he's mad at you."

"With all due respect, ma'am. Sam and I are dating, yes... but I have never disrespected her. She is everything to me. I'd never do anything to harm her."

"And I believe you, Son." Sam's dad says, making her look at him angrily as she crosses her hands over her chest, puffing her cheeks.

"Thank you for looking after Sam, Russ. Unlike my wife, I think she is in good hands with you. So thank you."

"You don't have to thank me, sir. Sam means the world to me. I was not just going to sit back while that scumbag hurt her."

"Don't you dare go talk bad about Craig. You two don't know him like I do. He's a good kid." she says, pointing her finger between us.

"Oh, enough, now. Do you hear yourself? You act as if you were dating that scumbag. How dare you go around defending him after what he did to our daughter." He says, making her gasp in shock, and widening her eyes.

"Excuse me! I am going to ask you folks to keep it down, please. This is a government office, and we require order in here." a female officer says, making us turn toward her.

"I'm sorry, ma'am. We will be leaving now." my uncle says, gesturing for us to walk out.

"Samantha, you will be coming home with us for the rest of the winter vacation, and as of school, you will be transferred back to your old university. You coming here was a big mistake. I never thought you'd embarrass our family like this. I am so disappointed in you." her mom says, grabbing Sam by her arm and pulling her away from me.

"No. Mom, please!"

"No, Samantha, I am done with this behavior. You are acting very childish. This isn't like you. You have no idea what I have been having to deal with. Why... all my friends have been talking about your relationship with this...boy." she says, pointing at me. I get it, I want a rich, stuck-up snob like Craig. But I love Sam, and I would do anything for her so she can be happy.

"Maam this is unnecessary. Believe me, I mean no harm to her. I can assure you we are not doing anything wrong."

"You stay out of this. Can't you see? My daughter and I do not belong to the same social status. She is too high class for you, you will never be enough for my daughter. And it's time she starts realizing it."

"Enough! I will not allow you to treat these kids like this. Sam, you will stay in your school, and you will date whoever you want. Preferably Russell, but you are free to make your own decisions. I am tired of you woman. This is far enough!" her dad says, but the problem was... maybe she was right.

I will never be able to give Sam the life she deserves. She deserves much more than I can give her. But I love her, and I want to be with her. I don't know how I am going to do this... but I need to make things work. I need to work harder and earn enough to make her happy.

"I am not with Russell because of the money he can give me if you haven't yet noticed, Mom. I'm with him because I love him, and obviously that is something you have yet to learn how to do. I love you, but you will not dictate my life anymore. And if that means I have to cut you off my life then So be it." Sam says as her eyes fill with tears, making her mom's eyes widen in shock.

"Then you can say goodbye to your financial privileges because I will no longer be supporting you."

"Oh shut up. Woman you haven't worked a day in your life. Sam, Russell, get out of here. Go and take her boy. I can assure you, Sam and you will not have to deal with Craig or my wife. And yes, you will still have MY support and MY money for help. I made you a promise to pay for that apartment, and I shall keep my promise. You're my daughter too. And I have a say on what can be done with MY money. And you!" he says, pointing at Sam's mom, making her eyes widen in shock.

"Get your ass in the car and shut your trap. Don't test me, woman. You've already fucked up enough today with that big mouth." he says, making me sigh, rubbing the back of my head as I look at them awkwardly. I never thought I'd see the day when she would shut her mouth. I don't get it. Sam is her daughter, she should be on her side. Why did she always treat her like an asset rather than a family?

Still... I sigh, wrapping Sam in my arms as she sobs silently. I get it. She's hurt. Because no matter what point of view I want to see things, that woman is still her mother, and it hurts to see her treat her like this.
