She's A Puzzle With A Few Missing Pieces ||C.R

Chapter 19

Sam's POV
Thursday November 26, 2015

Everyone was arranging the table and organizing the house. Chandler went home last night. He was coming back over here, with the rest of his family. I was getting dressed and I was starving.

As usual, I put a red flannel on and some boots. I left the flannel open, exposing a black tank top. To top it all off, literally, the infamous cowboy hat.

Oh man Im so hungry it's not even funny. Food was almost done thank the heavens. Looking forward to the turkey, it smells so good. Mom got wine and beer ,of course.

I put on the football game. Uncle Chuck called me.

"Sammy, who's playin' today against the Cowboys?" He called from the other room.

" The panthers." I called back.

"Has it started?"

"Naw almost time."

The oven beeped and mom took the turkey. "Sam honey set up the plates and silverware please, thank you."

" On it."

I counted how many plates I needed. Chandler's mom, dad, Grayson, Chuck, Maria, mom, Kate, Chandler and I.

Few minutes later everything was set up. The doorbell rang. I went to go open the door, it was Chandler and them. Kate came along with them.

"Howdy, come in." I said.

"Hey babe. You look nice." Chandler said kissing me.

He was in an all white button down shirt with a tie, he looked adorable with his dorky self.

"Back atcha. You look adorable." I said pinching his cheeks.

" Let's eat. I'm starved." Kate said out of the blue.

Chandler walked to the bathroom and motioned me towards him. " How are you gonna break it to them? My parents are gonna bawl when they find out."

"Ah shhit. I completely let go of that. I'll rat out whatever comes to mind." I said pushing it off.

I became nervous once again. Everyone sat down and began serving themselves. Before we ate, we had a little prayer. We finally began eating.

" So how's life for y'all..?" I said breaking the awkward silence.

Everyone stayed conversing with each other. Just like how a thanksgiving dinner should be. I waited a little while until I spoke up.

" Listen everyone I have an announcement to make..." I stayed silent for a little bit.

" What are you, pregnant?" Uncle Chuck joked, being the person that he is.

I glared at him. He laughed and continued eating.

" Listen, ever since Eliana went to the hospital, I've been thinkin' things bout the whole money problem. I met this lady at a bar and she offered me this. A private military contact. Chandler, Kate and I have been discussin' this and I decided... I'm leavin' to the US army im two weeks. I start trainin' next week." I explained.

Everyone looked at me in shock. Chandler looked sad and so did Kate. Chandler's mom, Gina, began crying. While his dad looked at me with anger.

"W-What? Hun you can't go!" My mom yelled.

" Ma. Y'know I have to for the sake of Eliana. I'm sorry." I started tearing up.

Everybody started mumbling while others began crying. Chandler came up to me and hugged me.

"It's okay, don't cry baby girl." Chandler said stroking my head.

"Samantha Clementine Jolton! You ain't leavin' to Iraq! I ain't gon let you!" Uncle Chuck yelled.

"Uncle Chuck with all due respect y'know I-"

"All due respect nothin. Yer not leavin' at all."

"DO YOU WANT ELIANA TO DIE!?" I screamed in frustration, banging the table.

Chandler backed away and I instantly regretted what I did. I sat down and continued to eat.

"Uncle Chuck I'm sorry. Im just real stressed out 'bout all this thats goin' on. And I apologize to the rest of y'all guys for my irrational outburst." I said staring at my plate.

Chandler looked at me and smiled. I smiled back. Kate was stuffing food down her throat. Uncle Chuck spoke suddenly.

"I'm sorry Samantha. It was wrong of me to yell in the first place." He said sincerely.

After that whole incident, everyone began eating again. They acted like nothing happened.
