Mistreated A Sam Wilkinson FanFic

Chapter 55: Danger Rises

It was early in the morning. Everyone had set their alarms for 7:30.

The boys' flight back to Omaha was leaving at 9. Mine and Nate's to Boston was leaving just a half an hour after theirs. We'd be getting a ride down to Reighmound.

We've been at the airport waiting for the flight to Boston to be called. I stood in front of Sam. We were holding hands. But I wouldn't make eye contact with him. I'm lying to him... something I feel super guilty about.

It's going to eat me alive if I don't tell him the truth.

"Flight A381 to Boston now boarding." We heard the announcer over the intercom.

I looked up at Sammy and smiled faintly at him. "See you when I get back?"

"Ya, you will. I love you. Be safe, stay with Nate. Call me when you're settled into the hotel."

Me and Sam kissed before hugging each other tightly. Separated once again. Although this time at least I know where he is. I don't have to worry about him. That much at least.

Sam let me go. Allowing me to turn and walk away with Nate towards the plane's gate. Nate could easily see my emotions. He knows how I'm feeling. And that's why he's my brother.

"Relax. Why are you so nervous right now?" Nate asked. Nudging me.

"I just hate lying to Sam like that." I sighed.

"He'll get over it. You can explain everything to him when we get back to Omaha ourselves."

I just let out a sigh again and just kept my eyes looking in front of me instead of to Nate. What if I tell Sam and he freaks out again? We promised not to lie to each other again. God... I'm sorry Sammy.

It was an hour and a half flight up to Boston from D.C. We had called an Uber ahead of time. So when we landed it was outside and ready to take us to a car rental place nearby. Nate and me rented a car, went to the hotel, checked in and left our stuff there before heading out to Reighmound.

I drove. Not letting him do it. I've remembered the way there from Boston. We used to go here a lot before everything in my family went south. Surprising what my memory holds in. What things are remembered and what things are left behind.

A 2 hour drive consisted of Nate trying to make conversation with me to get my mind off of things. At points it did work. But others I couldn't help but stay silent and watch the road ahead of me.

Mixed emotions was the best way to describe how I was feeling right now.

Who would I run into? What would it all be like now? Would things have changed? Are they better?

So many questions floated around in my mind.

It made me more nervous than anything when I saw the sign that read "entering Reighmound". The sign was all bent. Scratched up and spraypainted on. I stopped the car at a store just on the townline but not on the Reighmound side.

Nate looked at me confused. Wondering why we stopped here instead of going into town.

I looked at him once the car was turned off.

"Don't wanna risk anything happening to the car. We're walking from here." I told him then opened the driver door, allowing me to slip out.

Nate got out of the car as well. I locked it by hitting the button on the keypad then hooked the key on my belt loop. I walked over to Nate. He grabbed onto my hand and smiled at me. Here we go I guess.

Why did I say we'd do this?

With Reighmound being such a small town it was easy to get around to all the places I wanted to go to.
