How in the world did he know about what happened?
"Sam?" I question as he rubs the back of his neck.
"I may have been following you....." he says making me step away from him a little which gets his attention.
"Why were you following me?" I say freaked out.
"It's not like that...I just wanted to make sure you got home okay....When i seen you calling someone i relaxed and made a call and when I walked back Cole and Keegan were beating the crap out of some guy....I swear i was just making sure you were okay," he says making me look at him confused. How did someone who just moved here want to make sure i was safe? This all doesn't add up at all.
"You don't even know me Sam." I say making him sigh.
"I know...But i just....i don't know, there is something about you that makes me want to protect you, to be around you," he says acting cool. I smile a little at the way he sounds, like a cheesy movie.
"You are weird Johnson, very werid," I say as we start walking about. He laughs and puts his hands in his pockets.
"Yeah well, it's a gift," he says making me giggle a little. Then his eyes light up a little.
"Can I bring you to meet someone?" he asks me as we stop at a corner. I look at him strange.
"Yeah, i guess but i'm not really dressed nice today," I say looking over my outfit. He laughs and takes my hand.
"You look fine. Follow me," he says pulling me along as we walk toward the woods. My heart goes in over-drive as we get closer. But as we do, i notice a grave yard. I carefully walk around graves following Sam.
"Sam?" I question as we stop at a grave with flowers all around it. He stops and looks down.
"Meet my sister, Madison," he says as he squats next to the grave. My heart breaks a little as I examin the grave "Madison Lynn Johnson 2010 - 2014".
"What happened?" i whisper as i hold back tears looking at how Sam's attitude changed when we arrived. His fun personality is now sad and lost.
"Back in our old town a few miles away, there was an accident," he says staring intensely at the grave, "I took her to the park one day, she was begging me for hours and i told her when i finished working on my motercycle i would take her, and i did. We were there for awhile and i got distracted for a minute talking to some friends...." he pauses, "My dad wasn't the best father, he had a problem and it followed him....A car "Accidently" swearved off the road and hit her...She was only four. Four and because of my fathers stupid mistakes she paid the price....." he stops again and stands up fast. "I should have been watching her better anyways," he says crossing his arms looking at the grave. MY heart breaks more, he blamed hisself for this?
"Sam, there was no way you could have known it would happen," i whisper making him look at me with watery eyes, not crying, but you could tell he was almost there.
"No, but it could have been me, not her. She was four Cassidy, just four. She had her whole life ahead of her. I am just some messed up teenager trying to find somewhere to belong," he says as he leans his head back toward the sky and closes his eyes. In that moment i did something i would have never done before. I huged him. At first he was shocked and looked down at me, then he slowly wrapped his arms around me as well and we just stood there for awhile.
"I've never told anyone that, or showed them this," he says as i pull my head away from him, keeping my arms around him and look at the grave.
"Do you have a picture of her?" I asked wanting to know what she looked like. He smile and takes my hand in his and we walk down the street.
"I'll show you," he says with a smile as we approach a huge house. My mouth drops at the size of it, it is freaking huge. We walk up the front steps and into the house. I was in shock of how big it was and he was just pulling me along.
"Samual is that you?" I ladies voice rings out. Sam stops and smiles as a woman walks through a doorway with a smile. She was average height with long brown hair and bright blue eyes. She smiles at us.
"Mom, this is Cassidy," Sam says in a weird tone as the womans eyes go wide and she looks at me before smiling back.
"Oh nice to meet you dear.... Welcome to our home, are you staying for dinner?" she asked as she wipes her hands on a towel. I shake my head and Sam laughs.
"I just have to show her something real fast then take her home before her brother and his friend kill me," he says making me laugh.
"Alright, it was nice finally meeting you darling," she says walking away. Finally?
"Look," Sam says pointing to a hallway full of pictures. I walk up to some and smile, it was Sam as a baby. I examine all the pictures, all of him growing up. Then i come accross one, a little girl in his arms. It wasn't an old picture, the date was only a few months ago. The little girl had bright blue eyes with brown curly hair, a huge smile and a cute white dress on. She was in Sam's arms and he was looking at her with so much love.
"That was taken a day before the accident," he says leaning on the wall. I nod and look at it again before my phone goes off. Crap i forgot Cole and Keegan were waiting for me!
