When The Lights Go Down

Dinner and a Movie

*B is in her room when she hears the doorbell ring, she quickly grabs her phone and runs downstairs hoping to beat her brothers or even worse her parents to the door, as she reaches about the third stair down she hears Kevin greeting Sam, B quickly runs to his rescue just in time to see Mom and Dad walk in from the media room*

(Dad) *eyeing Sam up and down* So, you're the one who brought my daughter home drunk...

Bailey's Inner Monologue

I feel like I might vomit, this is why they agreed to let me ride with him...so that they could interrogate him until he ran off screaming...perfect

(Sam) *smiles nervously* uhh, yes sir, she drank some punch trying to avoid the alcohol and kinda did the opposite...I wanted to make sure she got home safe

(Dad) I see, and where are you going tonight...not another party I would hope

(Sam) no sir, we are going to a movie and then dinner afterwards

*interrogation continues until Mom finally smiles and tells them to have a good time and to be home by 10, B quickly grabs Sam by the arm and runs out the door. Sam openes the passenger door and B climbes in, once they are both in the car B lets out a sigh of relief*

(Bailey) could they be more embarrassing? Thank you for not bolting back there

(Sam) *laughing* interrogation doesn't scare me...my dad is an ex Marine

(Bailey) well I'm glad you weren't scared because I felt like I was going to vomit after that bringing me home drunk comment came up.

(Sam) *starts to drive* so have you decided where you want to eat after the movie?

(Bailey) some place without a lot of people preferably

(Sam) we can figure it out later

*Sam and B arrive at the movies, buy their tickets and find a seat in the back row of the theater*

(Sam) so why are we sitting back here in the last row?

(Bailey) habit really...this is where we always sit. It's closest to the door in case we need to leave and that way no girls are sitting behind us snapping pics of the boys throughout the movie.

(Sam) makes sense

*Sam takes B's hand into his... she welcomes the happy tingling that his touch brings as the house lights go down and the movie begins*

Bailey's Inner Monologue

The movie is almost over and I don't remember a single thing that has happened...not because I spent the whole time making out like with Jake either. My mind is going a million miles a minute. Sam is so sweet. He has held my hand the whole movie. Every once in a while he rubs the top of my hand with his thumb...who knew such a simple action could make my heart race. Man he is hot. He caught me staring at him a few times during the movie and he would smile and cup my face and kiss me. Every guy should do that...the whole cupping of the face thing...he gives me butterflies...I'm REALLY going to miss him.

*the house lights go up and people file out blocking the exit...while they are waiting for the exit line to clear Sam puts his arms around B pulling her back into his chest and plants a soft kiss on her neck immediately bringing a smile to her lips*

(Sam) *walking to the car holding B's hand* so where should we eat?

(Bailey) some place NOT fast food? Too many possible ubers

(Sam) too many what?

(Bailey) Jonas fans...we call them ubers as in uber-fans...the ones that follow them around screaming and crying and proposing marriage

(Sam) oooh I see *smiles* but you aren't a Jonas brother so that's not really an issue is it?

(Bailey) oh you have much to learn...the ubers know me...they can spot me immediately and then its all questions and pictures once that happens.

(Sam) You poor thing *teasing*

(Bailey) don't tease...its hard being a Jonas

(Sam) How bout the Barn for dinner?

(Bailey) sounds good...we can sit and talk

*throughout dinner B struggles to find the right time to tell Sam she would be leaving...before she knows it, it is 9:30, dinner is over and she hasn't told him anything...when they walk outside it is raining*

(Bailey) of course its raining, because I straightened my hair...

(Sam) *chuckling* stay here I'll go get the car

*As Sam runs off into the dark parking lot B's phone buzzes with text*

(Jake text) typical B...refusing to get a little wet

*B reads the text and freezes, immediately worried she scans the parking lot for Sam. Loud chatter sounds as the restaurant door opens and suddenly B is grabbed and pushed up against the side of the building*

(Jake) did you actually think I meant I was coming after Sam *dark laugh* it's not him I want *pins B against the wall with his body*

(Bailey) GET OFF OF ME JA- *Jake brings his mouth down on hers roughly stopping her from screaming out, B reaches up and grabs a fist full of hair and yanks Jakes lips from hers*

(Jake) *sneers* feisty

*Jake grabs Bs hand and pins it against the wall, his other hand makes its way up her shirt B squeezes her eyes tight and screams out... suddenly Jake is gone*

Bailey's POV

It took me a few seconds to register that Jake was no longer pinning me against the wall, his alcohol laden breath no longer covering me. I open my eyes and there is Sam, in the rain, he has Jake pinned to the ground throwing punch after punch until Jake appears to have been knocked out completely, he stands up giving Jake a swift kick to the ribs before running towards me...

*the ride home is silent, when they pull into her drive Sam's hand lifts her chin so her eyes meet his*

(Sam) are you ok? Did he hurt you?

(Bailey) I'm ok...thanks to you, you're getting pretty good at saving me

(Sam) I'm so sorry B...I shouldn't have ...*cut off by B kissing him*

(Bailey) I have to go, come over tomorrow...we need to talk.
