The Private School

Chapter 58

(A/N: This is a long chapter, I actually forgot how much I typed, for a moment I thought I was about to post two chapters in one, but nope, this is a whole chapter.. enjoy! I have actually caught up with the story now, cause of how much I'm working now, I've slowed down quite a bit on this story, and all of my stories to be honest, but don't worry, I will do my best to get the next chapter done for next Sunday! But I apologise in advance if it doesn't make it then, if it doesn't make it next Sunday then it'll be the Sunday after.. but I'll do my best for next Sunday!! I hope you're still enjoying this story!!)

"I have something to tell Sam" Stefan blurts out randomly as we finish dinner.

"What's up?" She asks. He looks at us all, as if he's wondering whether to talk to her in front of us or in private.

"Err, I don't know how to tell you this, when I was in the coma, I saw Scarlett" He says.

"You were dead?" Shane questions.

"No, no I wasn't dead, I don't really know what happened either, I was in the afterlife I guess, just without being dead" He tries to explain.

"Mum gave him messages to tell me and you, I think he's trying to say" I say to help him. I see him and Dad glance at each other, which I think is a little strange, but I ignore it.

"Well, what did she say?" Sam asks as she picks baby Owen up for a cuddle as he starts crying.

"She's sorry, sorry for not being honest with you, she hopes you can forgive her, she said that she always wanted to be a Mother to you, she's proud of you, you had a good life with Jen raising you and she's thankful to her for doing a good job, she's happy for you and wishes you luck with Owen, she knows you'll be a great Mum to him, she'll always be watching over you" He tells us. By now we're all in tears, I mean everyone except Shane and Stefan, I wouldn't say Dad is in tears but he's definitely emotional.

"Of course I forgive you Scarlett, you have nothing to be sorry for, you did what you could to protect me, I thank you for keeping me in the family and I'm thankful that you got to watch me grow up, even if I didn't call you Mum, I understand why you did what you did, I'm sorry about what happened to you, I mean if it didn't happen then I wouldn't be here I know, but I'm still sorry, nobody deserves to go through what you did" Sam says as if talking directly to Mum.

"She is also sorry for you having that vile piece of you know what as your biological father" Stefan tells her a little quietly.

"He may be my father through blood, but that's it, he isn't my father, he is nothing to me, I will never see him as a father" She says.

"Did you have a father figure as you grew up?" Stefan asks curiously. She was pretty close to Jack's Dad, but then he left, Jack barely had any contact with him, she didn't have contact with him once he left.

"Jack's Dad was a good father figure to me, until he left, and then I guess it became Jamie" She says, having Dad hear that puts a smile on his face and he lights up. "You guys have always kept in contact with us, I mean it kinda stopped a bit when Scarlett died, but I'm glad I'm sitting here right now, and I am happy to call Jamie my Step-Dad, seeing as he technically is anyway" Sam says.

"It will be an honour to be your Step-Dad or Dad or whatever you want to see me as" Dad tells her.

"You're really the only Dad I know now" Sam tells him.

"You just made my day Sam" He says and reaches over to hug her, being careful of Owen.

"I just wish I knew the truth sooner so that Scarlett- Mum and I could have bonded better, had a better relationship than aunt and niece" She says.
