Broken but beating

Beginning

Small pointed nose, thin lips and a pair of large brown eyes. Sam smiled at her reflection as she applied a little make up. It was her twenty'th birthday and Emma might have invited a hell lot of people. She let her shoulder lenghth hair loosely to hang back and plastered a dimple exposing smile on her face before going down.

The house was glowing from all the decoration. "Happy Birthday, Sam!"
Emma sang before wrapping her in a bone crushing hug. 
"You look extremely beautiful" she said in her ears, releasing her.
Sam smiled and turned to greet the numerous guests who consisted of hers and Emma's friends. Once they were seated, Emma delivered a sweet speech and pointed at the back of the stage. Sam gaped at what she saw. 
There on a huge canvas was a painting of herself smiling. The painting was done with black and dark colours adding to its beauty.

"Happy birthday,Sam!" Someone said from behind and she found her lips widen in
 a huge grin as she turned to be hugged by Isaac Bowers. 
"Saac, it's damn perfect!!" She breathed. Isaac smirked and took her hand in his, and kept something metal on it. Sam's eyes widened as she realized it was a car key.

"It's time you change your old ferrari, Sam" he said with a cocky expression. Sam raised her brows. 
"I bet you that old ferrari is better than anything you could ever offer,duffer!" 
Isaac chuckled and shook his head.
"Better way to phrase it is like-spend it for the poor and needy, duffer!" He said mockingly,making her roll her eyes. They laughed. 
Growing up together ,Isaac has been her best friend all along.
Sam joined the party and was tired of showing her perfect tooth and dimples by the time it ended.

She was tired that she fell asleep as soon as her back touched the bed and it was past noon when she woke up.
"Hey" Emma greeted her as she entered the kitchen. 
"Not going to work today?" Sam asked her,surprised to find her free at home.
"Well, Am tired and plus, I miss being home actually" she said, handing over a coffee to Sam.
"That's good news! lets cook something special for dinner today" Sam said, smiling at her. 
"Of course! But will you do me a favour and make that douchebag be here for dinner?" Emma asked tiredly, sighing. Sam chuckled. 
"No one can make him stay if he has got some racing plans tonight" she said matter of factly.
Isaac was so obsessed with car racing and had a garage full of sports cars loaded up. Emma had wanted him to be in business and help her with it, but he turned out to be a total player.

Sam had always felt sorry for her, the lady who kept managing all the business of her own and Sam's fathers. If not for her,everything would have been running on lose.
"Thank you ,Emma" she blurted out. "For what, sweetheart?" Emma said, patting her shoulder.
"Everything, the party was awesome" she mumbled. Emma gave her a concerned look and hugged her.
"That was nothing, dear" she said, releasing her.  Sam smiled.
"Ah! Now ,if you have got time we have a hell lot of gifts to be unwrapped, Emma" She said with a fake sigh and laughed when she caught Emma's eyes. 
"Am all yours" Emma said as they went off to attack the numerous gifts she had got..

After hours of unwrapping and sorting out of gifts, they sat on the couch enjoying some cookies. 
"Am going out, will be back soon" Sam said as she stood to leave. 
"Gonna visit your parents?" Emma asked meekly.
"How do you know?"
"You do that all the time. The day after your birthday you go to visit them.". It was a statement. Sam nodded, noticing how much Emma was caring for her.
"Get going, babe"
Emma said, waking her from the reverie. Sam placed a kiss on her cheek before leaving. She was blessed to have Emma in her life. And she will be forever grateful to her for everything.

It was twilight by the time she reached the cemetery and it was deserted. Sam kneeled before her parents grave and put the flowers she bought. The sadness was threatening to come out as tears but she fought it and sat in silence, remembering a thousand happy things. About the times she had spent with them. Little but valuable moments. She missed them.

She wanted them to know how she was doing with life. How she was helping others like her who had lost their guardians. She whispered a prayer and stood to leave. She didn't want to be crying near them. She wanted to be strong. She sighed and plastered a full smile.
"I miss you guys. But am Okay."
She said in a low voice. The air was cold and the sky was darkening.
Something moved from behind and she turned to see the figure of a man, standing a little away.
She couldn't make out the face but he was tall and was wearing black outfit, giving an eerie look about him.
"Levis"
He said in a steely voice and Sam felt her heart drop.
