Catch Me If I Fall |l.h

Chapter Five

"Cmon Michael just give me the keys and stop being such a dick." I say with a slurr.

"No Sammi you're not getting in the car while intoxicated."

"I'm not drunk! Look I can walk in a line!" As I try to walk straight but trip over my own feet. "Okay maybe a little bit." I giggled picking myself up.

"I called Calum and your Dad is coming to get you."

"You did what! Omg I'm going to be grounded for the rest of my life. Why'd you do that!" I screamed getting closer to Michael.

"Sammi it was for your safety." as he took a step back.

"Safety my asshole! You just want all the alcohol to yourself!"

"No I don't I didn't even finish one bottle yet." He chuckled and hands me a bottle of water."Here drink this."

"No, I want to go back and dance and have fun like all my cool friends are doing!" I slammed the water bottle on the floor and gave him the dirtiest look.

"Sammi please for your dad." I looked back at all the lights and sighed. I took it from him and took a sip.

I heard a car door slam and I walk outside to see my dad. The look of horror and disappoint in his eyes.

"Hey daddy what's crackle lacking!" I said while giving him the most uncoordinated hug.

"Sammi get in the car please." He said with a serious tone and straight face.

"Why I'm having fun with my friends!" I try to put my arm around Michaels shoulder but failed miserably because he's to tall. I giggled and looked back at my dad.

"Please Samantha!" He raises his voice and I slowly realize that he's not very happy and I should go before this gets worse then it is. I follow him to his car and got in the front seat. I put my seatbelt on and he did the same. He turned the car on and stepped on the gas pulling out of the parking lot. I wish I didn't leave and miss all the fun with my friends. But apart of me was saying I should be responsible and go home. Ten minutes into the car ride home was silent until he broke it.

"You can't do this Samantha." As he rubbed his prickled face where there used to be a beard and shook his head.

"Sorry I have a little fun unlike you."

"Excuse me young lady?" He says as I see him look at me in the corner of my eye.

"You heard me." I glare at him, crossing my arms.

"I'm just looking out for my only daughter that I love, is that such a crime?"

"It is when you're over protective about it.."

"Wow. What has gotten into you? Where's my daughter that would do anything with me and always tell me everything-"

"Dad watch out deer!!" Everything was slow motion and after that, all I see was pitch black.

I woke up sweating and breathing heavily. I replay over and over of what happened that night and it's like a dark cloud that will forever haunt me. I was shaking and couldn't catch my breath so I decided to go down stairs and get a cold glass of water to cool myself off. I slowly dangle my legs over the bed and rub my eyes to get them to focus. I walked over to my door and turned the knob slowly not to make a sound so I don't wake anyone up. I walked into the dark hallways and headed down the stairs. I grabbed a glass from the top shelf and walked over to fridge to get water. As the water was pouring out I saw a picture on the fridge of me and my dad, and I noticed that today was four months. I miss him so much. If I could relive the past I would've never gone to that stupid party. He was my best friend and I lost him forever. Nothing can ever replace him in my heart and there will always be that hole in it. We would do everything together and talk about anything in the world, even if it wasn't on topic. He was my partner in crime and would always tell the truth. There was some times when he would be a little over protective but I understand why. What I said to him that night I wasn't even thinking, I was drunk and didn't think before I spoke. I hurt him so much and I can never let that go. I just want to apologize to him and hang out with him like old times but it looks like I can never do that again. I noticed I've been standing there for about 15 mins looking at the picture in tears. I heard someone walking down the stairs slowly and saw it was Calum. I put my glass on the counter and ran over to him and buried my face in the crook of his neck. He did the same to me, as we damp both of our shirts of tears.

"Are you okay? Why are you up?" I asked him pulling away, wiping my tears away.

"I heard you walk down the stairs and I knew you had a dream so I came down here. I also had a dream about him too." He whispers and looks down at the floor.

"It's been four months.." I whispered looking down.

"I know it's upsetting and a sad day to get through but we need to try to move on like I said yesterday."

"I don't know if I should go to a party tonight thought because it's not right." I feel Calums hand go on my shoulder as I look up.

"Please go Sammi, you haven't been to one ever since that night. Just have fun, please promise me?" He says sticking his pinky finger out.

"Omg are we five?"as I chuckled. "I promise" I stuck out my pinky and wrapped it around his.

"Good now we should go back to sleep because we have school and you're going to be up all night.

"Haha probably" we slowly walk up the stairs.

"If you need a ride or anything please call me."

"I will don't worry." I open my door and glance outside.

"Wait Calum" as I stop him from going into his room.

"Yeah?" He steps outside his door and glances at me.

"Goodnight" as I smile and start heading into my room.

"Goodnight Sammi." Both doors shut and silence takes over. I walk over to my dresser and take a new dry shirt out. The smell of the shirt smells familiar. I turn my lamp on and see it was my dads work shirt. I smile and pull it over my head. I closed the drawer and crawled into bed. I leaned over and turned the lamp off being in complete darkness, except for the full moon shining in the window. I whisper to myself.

"Thank you for always being their dad, I love you and miss you so much. Stay strong up there. I'll always be daddy's little princess. Forever and always."
