Stockholm Syndrome (completed)

Ch.13: Falling Apart

(Tuesday 8:00am)

"Alice" Sam said.

(I groaned and opened my eyes; I sat up on the couch)

"Morning, why did you sleep down here" Sam asked.

"Morning, I uh couldn't sleep so I just came down so I won't wake up Liz" I said.

(He nodded)

"Are you hungry, want some pancakes" Sam asked.

"Yeah sure thanks" I said.

"No problem" Sam said. (Smiling)

(I got up and followed him into the kitchen; I sat in stool and rubbed my eyes and yawned, I just notice Sam is only wearing pajama bottoms. I quickly looked away)

"You alright" Sam asked.

(He started cooking)

"Yea I'm fine" I said.

"Ok, so is there anything you want to do today" Sam asked.

"Not really I was just thinking of staying here and watching a couple of movies" I said.

"Ok, well I have to go to work in an hour, I can stay here if you girls don't feel comfortable alone" Sam said.

"No, we'll be fine go to work you've already missed a day, what is it that you do anyway is" I said.

"I work with my uncle at Pettyfer oil Co. it was my dad's company" Sam said.

"Oh, are you going to take over someday" I asked.

(He finished the pancakes; he even put chocolate chips in them, he made me a plate)

"Maybe I'm not sure" Sam said.

"Thanks and why not" I asked.

(I started eating)

"I just don't think I'm the business man type" Sam said.

"You might be if you give it a try" I said.

(Liz came down)

"Morning" Liz said.

"Morning" Sam and I said.

(Sam made Liz a plate)

"Thanks, so what are we doing today" Liz said.

"Sam has to work and I just want to watch movies" I said.

"Ok, well I'm going to see Eric" Liz said.

"I don't think Alice should be alone" Sam said.

"I'll be fine, I'll just lock all the doors and windows and I'll be in the living room the whole time" I said.

"Are you sure" Sam asked.

"Yes" I said.

(He nodded; we were done I washed dishes, Sam got ready for work, and Liz went to see Eric)

"Are you absolutely sure you want to be alone" Sam asked.

(I turned and looked at him)

"Yes now go before your late, I'll be fine" I said.

(Sam nodded and kissed my forehead; it felt weird but I liked it, Sam left and I finished the dishes. I went to the living room and curled up on the couch; I'm not sure why but I decided to watch Safe Haven, I was getting a little sad half way through the movie thinking about my situation. I got up and got some ice cream; 30mins later the movie was over and I felt crappy so I decided on a nice warm bath, I stripped and got in. I heard the door downstairs open)
