Before She Changed Me

Chapter 37

-Sam's POV-

I kept close to Kyle. I felt safe with him by my side. My dad looked back often. My red hair fell in my face. I pushed it back. I started to shake. Kyle looked down at me. He kissed my head.

"Sis its going to be okay.." He whispered. The car came to a slow stop. I held my breath. Kyle pulled me along with him out of the car. I managed to shut the door. The guy we called dad stepped out of the car. His hair looked greasy its use to be light brown hair, greased and sticking to his face. He was now skin and bones. His use to be filled out high cheek boned face looking very homley. You could see he was stressed and that he hadn't slept in a while by the bags underneath his eyes. Kye was the spitting image of dad but he had moms Nose but other then that you couldn't have told the difference...until now. Kye had gained muscle..Dad had lost all of his muscle. My dad tried to avoid looking at me directly. It had been that way since I don't know when. I then sighed. I could give him one more chance. One more and thats it. I gulped, stepping away from Kyle's side. I sighed. I stepped forward and hugged my dad tightly. His dark sweatshirt smelt of ciggarettes. I felt his arms finally wrap around me and his use to be tense body ease. He kissed my head. I felt a smile cross my face.

"I missed you baby girl." He managed to mutter. I was then pulled back.

"No you didn't. Now lets get this over with shall we?" Kyle asked annoyed. My dad sighed.

"Kyle..I'm very sorry for what I did. I really am..I need you to forgive me." He said. I looked up at Kyle. He nodded.

"Where are we?" He asked changing the subject. My dad chuckled.

"Just like your mom aint ya? We're at Betty's Diner." He said. Kyle froze. My dad's eyes got wide.

"What is it?" I asked confused. Kyle gulped.

"It's the place mom worked at..She'd bring us here all the time." He muttered. Dad nodded.

"Surprised you'd even remember" He said starting to walk. The diner was in a small town that was filled with houses. Cars new and old were parked in front. We stepped inside. I heard a squeel.

"OhMyGod!!!" Me and Kyle looked up to see a black women. Her hair up in a bun and with an apron. Her lips were bright red. Other women did the same. One with Blonde hair and green eyes along with an apron, a pink dress and roller skates. The other woman the same but with....Pink hair? Kyle beamed.

"Annie!!"He said happily and hugged the colored women. She looked at me.

"You've grown so much Kyle...Is that..Sam?" She asked dumfounded. Kyle nodded. Annie smiled, tears coming to her eyes.

"She looks just like your mother.."She said. I stood there awkwardly.

"Clara come here! Your gal is here." Annie said. The pink hair'd lady came forward. She beamed. I took a good look at her face. I remembered her faintly. She pulled me into a hug.

"You probably dont remember me honey pie but i use to be your second mama."She said happily. I pulled away.

"Oh. You remember Danny don't ya?!?" Clara asked. I shook my head.

"Danny Ray!" She yelled. A boy with blonde hair that swoop'd in front of his eyes stepped out. He wore a black tank top and black skinnies. He wipped his hair bsck to reveal his bright blue eyes. He was tall like Kyle. I gasped. He was...stunning.

"What is it?!?"He asked annoyed. Clara pointed at me. Danny followed her finger with his eyes. He looked at me in shock.

"Well don't be a fool go hug her!" Clara demanded. Danny smiled. I smirked to see he had braces. They were a lime green. He walked over to me.

"Hi." He said simply. I blushed.

"Hey." I said. His mom Clara rolled her eyes.

"You two were 'married' when you were younger." She said. I tilted my head.

"You started early Sam." I heard my dad say. Annie punched his arm playfully. I thought for a moment. Trying to remember...

"Come on kids." My mom said. Me and Kyle ran out of our rooms. I put my fingers through my hair. I skipped down our pathway to catch up to mom and Kyle. I started to sing as I skipped.

"I was 7 now I'm 8 and I got toys like my teddy...And Kyle smells..Like spaghetti."I sang. Kyle stopped.

"Mom."He whined. I grinned.

"Sam not now please." My mom asked. I giggled. I then saw the diner. Aunty Clara sitting in front smoke leaving her lips. Danny stood next to her. I saw him and ran over.

"Sammey's gotta boyfriend." Kyle teased.

"Shut up!" I yelled and ran over to Danny. His hair buzzed. He pulled me into him. He hugged me tight.

"I missed you." He said. Clara and my mom aww'd. I kissed his cheek. My mom and the others going into the diner. Danny dropped on the cement. He patted beside him. I sat next to him. I tugged on my pinks dress. He grabbed my hand and held it tight.

"Sammey...Would you marry me?" He asked shyly. I nodded. He smiled. He looked down. He looked back up.

"Here."He said sliding a multi colored ring on my finger. He showed me his other hand that had camoflauge. I smiled. I jumped up and pulled him along into the diner.

"Mommey!!!I'm married!" I squeeled happily. I twittled my fingers in front of me showing my mom the ring after she ran out. She smiled. Clara laughed.

"I gave him the money to get them outta the machine over there."She pointed at the crank machine. My mom laughed.

"You know how to seal the deal?"She asked smiling. Me and Danny shook our heads.

"You gotta kiss."She said smiling. Kyle sneered.

"Who woyld want to kiss that thing?" Kyle said. Danny shrugged.

"What do you do?" We both asked.

"You do what mommey and daddy do.You touch lips." We nodded. I gulped and turned to him. He looked down shyly. I picked up his chin to look up and pressed my lips against his. I quickly pulled away.

"Ewww." We both said laughing.

I blinked. I smirked at the memory.

"You use to have your hair buzzed."I said to him. He beamed.

"I didnt think you'd remember." He said. I laughed. Kyle groaned.

"Yeah.Yeah.Yeah." he said annoyed. I laughed. I hugged Danny and pulled away. He blushed. I laughed. I walked over to the seats that were alligned against a counter that stretched along the wall of the diner.

"Here you go hun." Clara said handing me a plate that had cherry pie. I beamed.

"Mmm." I said licking my lips. My dad sat beside me and ordered the same. I smiled. This was how it was suppose to be with my dad. Kyle sat beside me. He watched and listen to Clara who went on about my mom. I barely knew her. Let alone remembered her but by what Clara was saying..She was pretty wonderful.
