Sam was so mad at Brenda she could scream again.  She had only been her mother for a year and Sam had never opened up to her, but now she wanted to run her life and tell her who she could be friends with.  Erik was the first person she had connected with since her brother left her all alone in that orphanage and she wasn't going to give that up either, he could be her best friends.<br/><br/>Over the last year she had slowly let Erik into her bubble, in fact coming over to his house was something she would have never done it if it wouldn't have been for the nurse.  She stayed locked up in her room with her books.<br/><br/>Sam just needed to someone to comfort her, just like when she was little.  Sam waited until her parents were asleep and she grabbed a bag of clothes and climbed out her window and down the trellis.  She had done this a few times so it was really easy to do.<br/><br/>She had hoped that Erik had left his door unlocked for her because she wanted to be with him to make sure he was ok.  She arrived at the door and was glad it was unlocked so she went in and headed upstairs to his room.  It was the same of hers so it was easy to remember.<br/><br/>When she got to his room he looked like he was sleeping.  She noticed that he had a photo album out and some other pictures, but she was too tired to snoop at them. So Sam walked to the other side of the bed as quiet as she could and slipped off her shoes and crawled into the bed next to him, just like she used to do with her brother.  For some reason she was missing her brother terribly right now and Erik was as close to a brother she could, she just hoped he didn't mind.<br/><br/>Sam caught herself starting to cry, she was trying to be quiet because she didn't want to disturb Erik's sleep. She of course didn't realize that he was awake.
