A/N-I had this idea floating through my head for a few days, so I decided to give it a try. I don't know if I want to have this story as a one-shot or a chapter story, even though I have a lot of those I am currently working on.
Things you need to know:
Set sometime during season 7 with some things that are different.
Julian and Brooke are not together.
Julian and Brooke were together when Brooke was fostering Sam.
Sam's age in this story is 15 and I know in the show she would either be 16 or 17, but for my story this is the age I need her to be at so when Brooke fostered Sam, she was 13 instead.
Sam's story is still the same, so she did go live with her mother and the difference is she goes with her father too.
Brooke also has already found out that she "can't" have children.
Julian stood on the beach with his feet in the sand, the waves crashing around on a late morning. He used to remember days like this when he was with Brooke and Sam. He instantly became a part of that family and fell in love with both of those girls, especially 13 year old Samantha who wormed her way into his heart quickly. She had become the daughter he never had and he hoped that he had become the father she never had. They both had a bond that was hard to break and he sensed that Brooke was a little jealous, only she had no reason to be. Sam loved her too.
He had all of that a year ago and then it was gone. Sam's birth parents show up out of nowhere and decide to take Sam back even though Julian and Brooke had plans for her. He knew that Sam was having a hard time with that. He remembered the conversation that he had had with her the night before she left their home.
"Julian, tell me what to do. I'm so lost and you and Brooke have been my heroes. What do I do?" Sam asks through teary eyes.
Julian sat down next to his foster daughter and pulled her into a hug.
"Sampson, I can't be the one to make that decision for you, but know, that no matter what Brooke and I are here for you. We love you Samantha and we aren't going anywhere. If you want to get to know your real parents we understand and if you don't we understand, but honey, we can't make that decision for you. It's your decision to make."
Julian wipes the tears from Sam's face.
"I love you, Julian."
"I love you, too Samantha."
The next day Sam left and things went worse from there. Brooke and Julian had started having problems in their relationship and eventually it ended.
A pair of arms wrapped around Julian's waist and he turned to face her.
"What are you doing out here for?"
"Just thinking about stuff. Shouldn't you be writing a new script?" Julian asks his fiancé.
A smile came across his girl's face.
"I may need your help on that, baby," She says with a smile.
"I'll be there in a minute," Julian states.
"I love you Julian."
She turns to walk back to the beach house, but Julian calls after her.
"Alex, I love you, too."
Only he didn't. A lie he kept telling himself every day since the mistake he had made that year ago. His heart belonged to two woman he hasn't spoken much too in the last year. His heart belonged to Sam and Brooke.
She stood in front of the mirror looking at herself wondering why she let it go this far. The tears threaten to fall, but she stopped them by wiping her eye with her hands wincing when she felt the bruise that was beginning to form. She didn't think that leaving the safety of Brooke and Julian's home she was going to have to face her worst nightmare. Going from a home of safety to a home of abuse can do things towards 15 year olds emotions.
A loud banging on the bathroom door made Sam jump.
"SAMANTHA OPEN THE DOOR!" came the harsh voice of her father.
Sam slowly walked towards the door and opened it slowly.
"Yeah," came her response.
Her father opened the door farther and pushed Sam out of the way.
"You didn't do the dishes," the voice was with no emotion.
"I forgot," Sam whispers as she tries to stop the punch from coming towards her face. It didn't work. Sam fell to the floor in pain and the pain continued when her father kicked her a few times.
"You know the consequences of not doing what I ASK."
Her father grabbed her hair and dragged her to the kitchen. Sam opened her eyes and saw her father staring at her with a knife in his hand.
"Daddy don't," Sam cries.
The cries continued when her father never said a word. The cut wasn't much, but it made her bleed and her cries put her to sleep when her father left the house.
The next time she woke up it was late and no one was home. She needed her security, she needed to talk to someone, and she needed Julian. Sam carefully stood up and cried out when she hurt. She grabbed the phone off of the table and dialed a number slowly.
"Hello," A voice on the other end says.
"I need you," Sam whispers.
"Who is this?"
"Julian, I need you," Sam cries.
"Sam?"
"It's me. Julian, it hurts. You have to help me. P-please help," Sam continues to cry.
"Sam, I want you to stay where you are and I will be there soon. Baby, just stay there. Can you do that?"
"Yeah."
"Good, I am on my way."
Sam hangs up the phone and closes her eyes. It was time for sleep.
A half-hour later Julian rushes into the house and sees Sam lying on the floor in a small pile of blood, Sam's eyes were closed and he rushes over to her.
"Sam, wake up. Please wake up," Julian says as he pushes the hair out of Sam's face.
Sam opens her eyes and smiles as best as she can.
"You came."
Julian nods her head.
"We need to get you out of here, come on."
"It hurts," Sam says as she tries to stand up.
Julian carefully picks her up and puts her in his car and they drive to the hospital.
On the drive there he had called Haley and the others, but he didn't get a hold of Brooke because there was no answer.
The doctor took Sam out of Julian's hands and out her on the bed and he started examining her wounds.
"She needs stitches. A few of her ribs might be broken. We are going to check for internal injuries so it maybe a while."
"Do whatever you got to do doc, I'll be outside Sammy."
"Okay," Sam whispers.
Julian walks out the door and he sees Haley standing there looking at him.
"How is she?"
"The doctor is looking at her now."
"Brooke should know that she's here," Haley states.
"I tried. She won't answer her phone."
"She's still hurt Julian. Can you blame her?" Haley asks with a raised eyebrow.
"Not really," Julian says as he looks at Sam.
"That's why I called her. She should be here soon."
"Does she know why?" Julian asks.
"No, that you can explain to her. I don't know the whole story."
A few minutes later a frantic Brooke rushes to Haley and Julian's side.
"Oh my god Haley, are you okay? You can't just tell me to come to the hospital and hang up."
"Brooke, I'm fine."
"But someone's not," Julian whispers as he turns to Brooke.
Brooke looks at him and back to Haley rather quickly.
"Who's hurt?" Brooke asks.
Julian moves out of the way and Haley turns Brooke to face the window. Brooke looks at the window and starts to tear up.
"Oh my god. What happened to her?"
A/N-There it is. What do you think? I know that most of you will just tell me to continue with it, but I really want your opinion. And I know that Julian and Brooke aren't together and that he is with Alex, but I needed that for this story, if it becomes one. Honest TRUTH should I continue?
