Sam

Sam walked down the streets looking at people sitting at tables eating with their families and loved ones. She couldn’t stop herself from thinking just how much she hated people. She hated them because everything seemed to be easy from them. They didn’t have a problem in the world, and those kinds of people didn’t care about people like her. She was invisible to the world, no one would care.

Sam noticed as a waiter walked into the alleyway with a table cloth. As soon as he went back into the restaurant Sam booked it into the alley and grabbed the top of the garbage and pulled out what decent food she could find.

“Hey you! Get the hell out of your go on you low life scum! Scat!” The man who was yelling at Sam threw a bottle at her as she was turning around and It hit her full in the brow. She hit the ground hard and another bottle came flying at her missing her head by inches.

Sam scrabbled to her feet and ran around the corner, she tried to run to the nearest subway but it seemed like the swarm of people the crowed the streets were stopping her from getting to her destination.

Finally she broke from the serge of people and made her way down the stairs. As one of the trains was pulling in. She got on not really knowing where she was going to go.

The car was nearly empty except for a sleeping man at near the door. She found a seat far from him and sat down. Starving and in pain Sam didn’t know what to do. Hours passed before she decided that it was time to get off the train. People were looking at her funny and she was pretty sure one or two of them were ready to through her off the train.

As Sam took the last step off the stairs she knew immediately where she was. She walked for two blocks and came to a CD and book store just as Shelly one of the front counter girls put down the phone.

A manager who was staking books near the front was about to greet who ever came through the door when she realized who had came in. “Oh my word child what happened! Come here let me take you to the back lets get you cleaned up.” Sam had almost forgotten about the alley incident.

She touched her forehead and winced a little. “Izzi I’m fine.” Sam feebly batted her managers hand away.

“Now lil‘ missy you stop that and let me fix you up.” Izzy grabbed Sam’s wrist and led her to the back where the bathrooms where. “What happened? Was it that piece of shit brother of yours?”

“Believe it or not it wasn’t I was trying to find some food, and well…” Sam couldn’t finish the sentence, she was to ashamed tell her boss that she was dumpster diving for food and got caught.

“Well honey you just got paid what happened to that?” Sam turned her head as tears began to form.

“It‘s uh…” Tears fell fast as Sam tried to explain how her brother always takes a proportion of her check and how yesterday he decided to take it all. So she had no money for food or anything else.

Izzy calmed Sam down as she cleaned the cut. “It‘s not deep honey so I don’t think you need stitches but keep it clean alright.”

“Alright thanks Izzy. Thanks for everything, I think I should get going now I‘ll see you tomorrow.”

“Oh wait just a second.” Izzy ran to the back where the employ lounge was. Then came back a minute later with a brown paper sack. “Here take this with you kay, it should hold you over till your next pay check.”

“No Izzy I can’t.”

“You can and you will. The only reason I haven’t called the cops on the son of a bitch is because I don’t want him to hurt you anymore then he has.” Sam leaned into Izzy and gave her a big hug kissed her on the cheek said thanks again and was about to walked out the door. When she was stopped by Shelly.

“Hey before I forget someone was just calling for you, she sounded kinda desperate to.” Sam’s eyes got big and she was reminded of the woman that helped her not to long ago.

“Did she give you a name by any chance?”

“No I don’t think she did. Sorry.”

“Oh alright it‘s ok. Um. Ok well izzy I have to get going.”

“Ok hun be safe.”

“Don’t worry about me I’ll be fine.”

“Mhmm, I will try my best not to.”

Sam leaned in and kissed Izzy on the cheek and walked out the door. By the time she got home the sun was already set. Sam cursed under her breath, she should have been home earlier so that she could make it home before her brother could wake up.

She tiptoed to her room hoping that maybe she would get lucky and her brother would be so baked that he couldn’t even stand. She was just opening her bedroom door when she heard a door open on the other end of the hall. She hurried in her room locked the door and placed a chair in front of the door.

“Samantha! Where the hell are you! Damn-it! I know you’re here!” Sam began shaking as she heard Jed hitting the walls as he walked down the hallway.

Bella set her alarm for seven-o-clock and walked back into the kitchen just as her water was starting to boil. She poured some of it in a cup and put a tea bag in it. She went over the same routine every night before she went to bed. Shower, set the alarm hot cup of tea then some T.V before bed.

She sat on the couch and flipped thought the channels as she waited for her tea to soak in the flavors in the bag. Bella flipped through the channels but finding nothing she left it on the news. She tried to watch as the news reporter said something about a hurricane, but all she could think about was Sam, and what she could do for her.

Bella looked at the clock just above her T.V. It was three in the morning Bella hadn’t even noticed that so much time has passed. She rinsed her cup in the sink and put it in the dishwasher. Bella climbed into bed and fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.

The alarm went off and Bella shot up out of bed and hit the alarm clock, she was just dreaming about Sam, and something bad was happening. She couldn’t remember what it was, but it was bad whatever it was.

Forgetting the dream Bella got out of bed turned the shower on and started her coffee pot. Bella walked back to the bathroom and closed the door behind her. Even though no one else was here and she was the only one with keys to the apartment Bella always closed every door and locked it.

Putting her hand behind the shower curtain she felt the water it was a little hot so she turned the knob a smidge further to the right. “Ah perfect.” she stripped out of her cloths and got in.

Remembering the day that Sam was in the apartment Bella closed her eyes and leaned against the wall. Sam’s body was beautiful, it was better then beautiful it was perfect. Her curves her cleavage there wasn’t one flaw on her body that she could see.

Bella ran her fingers down her own body, hers was a little older but not by much, She was just year or so older then Sam. Still running her fingers over her body Bella felt for the curls between her legs. Thinking about Sam was getting her wet and it had been sometime since she had had sex or even masturbated for that matter.

Bella thought about Sam’s toned stomach, her muscled arms, and her beautiful skin. She felt the wetness between her legs and moaned as she thought of Sam touching her. Then her eyes shot open as Sam’s scared face came into her mind.

She sighed heavily as the imaged dissipated. She shouldn’t have done that anyways, Sam seemed to be a troubled girl, and doing something like that just didn’t seem right.

Getting out Bella toweled off and got dressed. Looking in the mirror she smiled grabbed her coffee container and walked out the door. Taking the subway she arrived at the book store five minutes after eight.

“Hi welcome to Book Stash. Is there anything your looking for today?”

Looking at the name tag Bella smiled and said. “Well more or less someone. Is Sam here?”

“Oh you’re the woman that called yesterday?”

“Yes.”

Shelly looked around not finding Sam called to the back for Izzy. “Hey has Sam showed up yet?” Izzy came walking to the front. She was wiping her hands with a dish towel.

“No but now that you mention it. It is odd that she isn’t here yet. But she should be here soon.” Izzy looked Bella up and down. “And who are you?”

Bella extended her hand. And Izzy took it. “I‘m Isabella Fallfer. But everyone calls me Bella”

“Hey I’m Izzy Jacksie.”

Smiling Bella attempted to make a crack. “Hey is that short for Isabella?”

Izzy scowled, “No it‘s just Izzy.”

“Oh well that’s a nice name.” Bella felt like an ass as she let go of Izzy’s hand. “Uh if you don’t mind I think I will just wait for Sam over there.”

Izzy grabbed Bella as she started to walk away. “Actually I do mind, who are you and what do you want with our Sam.” Not wanting to let them to far into her business Bella just simply stated.

”I saw her in the subway the other day and she was hurt I helped her, I just wanted to know if she was ok.”

“She‘s fine now get the hell out of my store.” Izzy Poked Bella in the chest. Shocked Bella stumbled backwards. Poking Izzy back just as hard Bella said.

“Look I don’t know who you think you are to try and kick me out of your shop for no reason but you have no right and I suggest that if you don’t want a law suit you let me stay here until I can see for my self that Sam is alright.”

Bella caught a glimmer of a smile as Izzy turned around and walked back to the back. Fine but you better gone five minutes after she gets here.”

“What the hell is her problem.” She turned to Shelly, who just smiled and laughed.

“Don’t take it wrong.” Shelly pointed her nail file at Bella. And winked. “She likes you. She‘s just like that to everyone unless they prove to her that they can stand up and fight from themselves. Well almost everyone. Sam is her only exception. Took Sam under her wing her first day here. She‘s like her little sister.” Then with that Shelly went back to reading her magazine and doing her nails.

An hour passed and Sam still didn’t show up. Izzy came out of the back. “She still isn’t here?” Bella just shook her head as Izzy began to write down an address. “Here,” She gave the slip of paper to Bella, “Go here but bring the police with you alright don’t ask questions just go.”

Less then an hour later Bella had two cops with her and they were standing at the door of Sam’s apartment. Bella knocked on the apartment. “Go the fuck away!” was all the reply that came from inside.

“Excuse me I need to speak with Sam? Is she home.” There was a loud thud as if something had been tossed at the door.

“I said go away!” Bella knocked over and over again until she could her some movement from inside. The door flew open “Listen bitch even if she were here she wouldn’t come to the door cuz she would be in my room being fucked by me.” The guy shoved her away from the door and tried to close it but the cops slammed the door open and forced the man onto his knees. “He man come on take it easy.”

One cop took the guys wallet from his pants. “Says here that his name is Jed Sphinx this guy was convicted of rape not to long ago. And lookie what we have here. This weapon is against your parole.” The cop pulled a gun out of the back of the guys pants.

“Hey that’s not mine.” The cop shoved him to the floor.

“Save it for the judge.” As he was being red his rights the other cop came over to Bella.

“Listen Ma‘am it‘s probably best that you head home.” Shaking Bella nodded her head. “Can you get home alright or do you need an escort?” Bella shook her head no. “Alright come by the police station tomorrow and ask for Kelmer, Sergeant Allen Kelmer, he is going to need to ask you a few questions about this alright.” Again Bella nodded her head.

It took Bella twenty minutes to make it to the subway, normally it would have taken her about five but she was shaking to much and couldn’t walk strait then she took a wrong turn and walked that way for five whole minutes before she realized she was heading the wrong way.

Soon Bella was making her way up her stairs her keys were jingling as she walked. She was afraid what may have happened to Sam, was she hurt was she even alive. Bella walked through the hall of her floor agonizing about Sam, when suddenly she tripped. “What the hell.” Bella picked herself up to see a tattered and half beaten Sam laying near the foot of her door.
