A/N: I edited all the chapters… not that it made it much better, but oh well…
Prologue
Most everything is the same from season 9, but some of the "grandkids" ages don't fit.
Eric and Annie Camden: Still in love and "hot" for each other. Eric has long since retired, and Annie still loves caring for her youngest sons.
Matt and Sarah Camden: Both some type of doctor (you pick). They have 5 kids, Elizabeth (Lizzie or Liz) (14) Luke (14) Tyler (Ty) (12) Jessica (Jess or Jessie) (11) and Chase (Bud or Buddy by Matt & sometimes others) (3).
Matt and Sarah's kids: Liz is very rebellious (like Daddy, and Aunt Mary) Luke is Lizzie's fraternal twin, he is hardly ever rebellious, but when he does, it's not good. Ty is much like his Aunt Lucy, and loves his family more than anything, and would probably sacrifice himself to save the ones he loves. Jessie is a worrywart, she can't calm down when someone is hurt or missing or anything else you would worry about. Chase is just cute, sometimes he gets lonely, because he is the youngest in the family, and his brothers and sisters can hardly include him in anything they do. They do try though.
Mary and Carlos ?Rivera: Have 3 kids, Charles Miguel (Charlie) (14) Tanner (13) and Brooke (11).
Mary and Carlos' kids: Charlie is very talkative. Tanner is very athletic (like Mom). Brooke is very shy.
Lucy and Kevin Kinkirk: They are in love! I mean that. They have 10 children. Kara (16), Andrew (Andy) (15), Aly (14), Krysten (Krys) (13), Danielle (13), Michael (Mike) (10), Kyle (10), Nicole (Nikky) (8), Katelyn (Kate) (6), and Jacob (Jake or Jakers) (4). They have 1 goldfish named Feather, and 2 dogs named Roxy and Spencer.
Lucy and Kevin's kids: Kara is a troublemaker and comes home drunk one night (just like her uncle Simon). Andy thinks he has met the love of his life! He is a pretty good kid too. Aly is the cheerleader type and is very perky. Krys and Danielle are identical twins. They are very close and almost inseparable. Mike and Kyle are identical twins also. They are very independent. They still love each other though. Nikky loves animals and has a dream to be a veterinarian. Kate is just livin' life as best she can. Jake is very smart, cant talk very well, and is an awesome skateboarder (not just "for his age").
Simon and Cecilia Camden: Got back together when Martin's dad came home from Iraq. In love more than you could imagine. Have 3, and soon 6, kids. Jason (Jay, or Son by Simon) (13) Thomas (Tom or Tommy) (5) and Keely (Keels) (3). They will soon have triplets named Gary, Mac, and Stephen (Steve). They have a dog, named Max that loves to lick Keely's face.
Simon and Cecilia's kids: Jay is actually Georgia's biological son (Georgia ran off when he was born), but Cecilia considers Jay her son and vice versa. He is very energetic and caring, and he is very close to Tommy. He is angry with his biological mom, but he hides it very well because his family doesn't notice. Tommy loves Jay more than anything in the world. Keely is very energetic and hard to keep up with. I don't know about Gary, Steve, and Mac, because they aren't born yet.
Ruthie and Peter Petrowski: In love, and have 2 kids, but they plan to have more. Simon (Sime) (6) and Mark (Marko) (5mo).
Ruthie and Peter's kids: Simon's favorite uncle is…yep…you guessed it, Simon! Mark is only 5 months old, but he's growing fast.
David Camden: He has a girlfriend named Stacy. He is the most popular guy in school. He and Stacy don't have any kids…yet. David soon finds out Stacy's pregnant and he doesn't know what to do.
Sam Camden: He's a loner; he tries to commit suicide, but is walked in on by Matt and Ruthie. He doesn't have a girlfriend, heck; he doesn't even have a friend. He needs one though, and quick.
A/N: Please read & review. This is my first fan fiction, so please be easy on me. If you don't like it, then lie to me and tell me you loved it. LOL. JK, you can give me suggestions on how to make it better if you want.
Chapter 1: Goodbye
Sam's alarm clock rang, he got up, and went into David's room, and a note was left that he went to school early. That was the 3rd "note" that week. David had been supposedly going to school early a lot lately. No one knew why. Sam went to his room, he was going to do it this time, actually do it. Sam wanted to commit suicide. He had for almost 3 months now, but today was the day. He wrote a "goodbye letter" when he heard his visiting sister's voice downstairs.
"Sam, David, I'm leaving today, so do you want to say goodbye?" Ruthie called to her 18-year-old twin brothers. Sam was already saying goodbye, so why did he have to say goodbye again. Sam stood silent. He knew that if he had made a single noise and Ruthie had heard it, she would come running. She knew something had been going on with Sam lately (not to mention David), but she didn't know what. She knew he was depressed, but she didn't know how to help. One day the thought crossed her mind that he could commit suicide, but she quickly erased the thought, or tried to. She decided to stay at her childhood home for the weekend, because of that thought, that thought she so desperately tried to forget, but couldn't.
Sam tried to put on the happiest face in front of people, but he couldn't act happy any longer, at 18 years old, a man now, he couldn't trust people anymore, from one experience he will never forget. People started thinking he was weird, and he started to climb down the "social ladder" while his brother on the other hand, the brother who had to stood by him and finished his sentences for so many years, his twin, the one who was there for that haunting experience, started to "climb up." And by the time they were 18, David couldn't get any more popular, and Sam couldn't get any less popular.
Anyway, once Sam thought Ruthie had left he began to get "ready to do it." He was wrong, Ruthie hadn't left, and she was listening to him read his "goodbye letter" over and over again. Ruthie couldn't believe what she was hearing; she didn't know what else to do, so she immediately called Matt, who was over there in about 1 minute.
Matt walked into Sam's room, immediately followed by his youngest sister. They both stood in complete shock at what they saw, their baby brother ready to take his own life away. Sam stared at them and then burst into tears, ran over to Matt and buried himself in his oldest brother's chest, who he called Mattie. He cried for hours, then Ruthie started to cry, Matt, still amazed, had no idea what was going on. Ruthie knew. She didn't want to believe it, but she knew, and she wasn't surprised, not even a little.
All of the sudden, Sam said, "I can't go on, I can't do it anymore"
Ruthie knew just what he was talking about, but just to make sure Matt did, she asked, "Can't do what?" Sam didn't answer; he turned and sat on his bed, and buried himself in his pillow.
"It's okay Sam, I'm-We're here for you, all of us. We'll always be there for you, no matter what. Tell us Sam, its okay buddy," Matt said demanding someone tell him what was going on. Ruthie went out of the room, letting her eldest brother find out from her youngest brother what exactly was going on.
Sam finally said, "I can't l-live anymore." Matt then knew; he understood everything, except why.
"Why?" Matt asked wanting more information than what Sam just told him.
"David used to care about me and." He paused for a long time. "Now he has friends and a girlfriend, and now I'm always getting left behind," Sam finished now sobbing once again. "Everything's bad, my whole life is bad, except you and Ruthie," he continued. Matt would have been flattered, but once considering the circumstances, he wasn't flattered at all.
Matt had a long talk with his brother, finally they agreed that Sam would get help, and Matt would go with Sam to all his counseling sessions or wherever he went for help, even if Matt were really busy. Or if Matt really couldn't go, he would go with Ruthie, and if she couldn't go, then Simon. Sam wasn't feeling much better about himself, but he was glad that he hadn't taken his life away.
"Thanks Matt," Sam said
"Anytime buddy."
