Chapter One:- The Start of a New Year
"The start of senoir year." Danny said as he walked up to Tucker who was waiting in his driveway with a new monster truck. "Whoa!" Danny yelled as he saw the truck. "You actually got one?" He asked.
"Yeah!" Tucker said hopping out. "Isn't it awesome?"
"Yeah." Danny started circling it checking it out. "Now I can drive it right?" He smiled.
"Hell no!" Tucker laughed. "I just got this thing yesterday. The only person driving this bad boy, is me! Now hop in. We'll be late for school and I don't want to get off on a bad foot this year."
"Alright." Once he got into the passenger side and stopped checking out the inside, he turned to Tucker. "We picking Sam up too?" He asked.
"Nope." He answered quickly.
"Why not?"
"She said she didn't want a ride." He shrugged and started up the truck.
"Oh..." Tucker picked up on the sense of dissapointment in Danny's voice. "We'll see her at school dude."
"I know." He sighed. "It's just that ever sinse she started dating that Adam guy I haven't really seen her."
"I know but Danny, what did you expect?" He asked looking at him for a minute. He could see how dissapointed and down he was through the look on his face. "We knew she wasn't going to wait for you forever."
"Tucker." Danny groaned. He wasn't really in the mood to hear this kind of thing. He already knew all this already.
"Sorry. But you know it's true." He pulled into the school parking lot and parked it. "How long has she been dating him for anyways?"
"One month two weeks and one day." Danny answered quickly. He saw Tucker look at him with a look on his face that said 'you've got to be kidding.' Danny sighed and got out. "Shut up."
"I didn't say anything."
"You implied it." He started walking away. "I'll see you later Tuck!" He said running off.
-----
The day went by pretty slow. It was the same normal boring first day thing. Danny met Tucker in the front of the school when the last bell rang.
"Can you believe they gave us homework on the first day?" Tucker complained when he saw Danny. "I mean c'mon!"
"Yeah I know. It's insane." Danny was quick to change the subject though, not really caring about the homework. "So, have you seen Sam?"
"Nope. You?" Tucker knew by the look on his face that he hadn't seen her. He felt bad for Danny but at the same time he wanted to slap him. Danny had been completely gaga over Sam for years and he hated to see him like this. But they both knew that it was because Danny never made a move that she moved on.
"No I don't have any classes with her. I have two classes with Adam though." He said with a little bit of tension in his voice. "He said that he had given Sam a ride to school." Tucker shrugged and started walking towards his truck. "Hey look!" Danny said looking over where a girl was standing alone. "Sam!" He waved and walked over to her.
"Hey Danny." She smiled at him but looked away quickly.
"Haven't seen you in awhile."
"Yeah I know. I've been kind of busy." She answered quickly.
"Do you want to come over tonight? Tucker and me are going to go over to Nasty Burger."
"Sorry. I've got plans." She said and started walking away. Danny grabbed her shoulder and spun her around. "Danny."
"Sam c'mon. What's wrong?" He asked not letting go of her shoulder. He saw her wince slightly but it didn't really make contact with his brain.
"Danny. Let go of me," She said softly. Her violet eyes seemed to be pleading him. "Please." He could her the stress and slight pain in her voice and he let go. "I have to go." She said turning away. Danny had no choice but to return to Tucker and go home.
"So what'd she say?" Tucker asked him once he got into the truck.
"Nothing really. She said she had plans tonight." Danny was still confused by her actions. Something was different but he couldn't quite place what it was. "I think something's wrong. She was acting kind of weird."
"Maybe she's getting sick or something." Tucker shrugged.
"Maybe." Danny sighed and stayed silent the rest of the ride. He kept remembering the look in her eyes. It was hard to read. Sam was never an easy person to understand or read but over the years he'd gotten good at it. But this look, that look in her eyes, still confused him.
-----
It killed Sam to walk away from Danny. She wanted to fall into his arms and cry. She wanted to tell him everything but she was so scared. She just couldn't. So she kept walking to where Adam was waiting.
Adam was a tall, strong guy. He wasn't like a monster looking guy or anything but it was easy to see that he had muscles. He had short black hair that was spiked up and brown eyes that could just soak someone in. When he smiled, his lips pursed and he didn't smile wide. If his eyes were dark and mad, his smile looked creepy, like an evil one. If not, it was rather charming, just like everything else about him in the begining.
"Hey Adam." Sam said walking up to him.
"Where have you been? You're late." He said pushing her into his car.
"Sorry. I was talking to a friend." She said looking away. He slammed her door shut which made her jump slightly.
"Well you should have come straight here. I told you that. I won't wait forever Sammy." He said as he got in and started his car. He pulled out and took off flying down the street.
"Could you slow down?" She asked.
"Look!" He yelled at her. "I don't need anyone telling me how to drive! Got it babe?" He grabbed her arm and sqeezed it hard.
"Got it." She said almost wimpering.
"Good." He didn't let go of her like she hoped though. He tightened his grip and smiled. "Now what do you want to do tonight?"
"Adam." She said on the verge of tears. "Please let go." They stopped at a red light and he turned to her.
"Give me a kiss first." He leaned over to her and even though she didn't want to, she leaned in as well. Their lips met for only a second before he tried to push his tongue into her mouth. She pulled back quickly trying to hide her disgust. He tightened his grip agian then released her arm. "You're coming over tonight." He told her.
"Okay." Sam whispered holding her arm. She could already see the bruise forming on her arm and it still stung. She turned and looked out the window letting only a single tear run down her face before she stopped herself. Showing weakness to Adam only made him more powerful against her. She jumped slightly when she felt him take her hand. He brought it to his lips and kissed her hand gently then let go.
Sam bit her lip and stayed quiet not wanting to upset Adam in any way. She just looked out the window hoping to find something to give her hope or help. How she got into this situation, she didn't understand herself. What she really couldn't understand is why she couldn't get out.
They pulled into his driveway and Adam got out and opened Sam's door for her. She nodded a thank you and stepped out. She started walking into his house where he lived alone. It was a small place and not very home like but she got used to it.
Sam got inside and her cell phone rang. She opened it up and put it to her ear.
"Hello?"
"Hey Sam." Danny said on the other side.
"Look Danny, I can't talk now." She said watching Adam about to walk in.
"Sam what's wrong?" He asked before she hung up on him. She didn't have the chance to respond.
"I told you!" Adam yelled as he took her phone and threw it on the ground. "No phone calls while you're with me!" He yelled and raised his hand. Sam's eyes went wide but she didn't have time to react as his hand came down and hit her cheek. "You understand now?"
Sam just nodded her head holding her hand to her cheek. This time she had no choice but to let the tears fall. He smiled and walked into the kitchen. She went into the bathroom and examined how bad it was. It was pretty red but by tomorrow, there wouldn't be any noticable evidence of it. Her arm on the other hand...
"Damn." She said looking at the brusie. All she had to do was slightly touch it and it stung again. She pulled her shirt off the side of her shoulder to see how that injury was doing. The bruise was fading but it still hurt now that Danny had put pressure on it. "Danny..." She whispered to herself. She knew she had to tell him but she just couldn't. She couldn't tell anyone. She was trapped in this life she didn't want. It was like a bad dream she couldn't wake up from.
Well this is my newest story obviously. Abuse cases hit me hard so I wanted to write about one. The next chapters I get out will be longer than this one. I'm hoping to get the next chapter up by next weekend. I'm also not sure what other genre to put it under. It's either going to be tradegy drama or angst. So if anyone wants to help me make up my mind lol
