Chapter Twenty
Sam awoke to find her two friends asleep in the same sleeping bag, arms wrapped around one another, and smiled at the image. She was thankful to see that Trish had finally overcome her issues with Beth and found someone to love her at the same time. Trish was slightly embarrassed to find Sam watching her as she awoke and even more so when she discovered Beth in her arms. She recalled the night’s events and a nervous smile crossed her face. Sam probed her and Beth as to what happened while she slept, but neither girl would speak a word and laughed the more Sam insisted they give her details. The three of them spent the entire weekend together. They returned to Trish’s home to gather some clothes and other things for the weekend and told Diana their plans before returning to Beth’s place where they spent the day playing board games, watching movies and filling up on snacks.
Sam never felt more alive in her life and was so happy that she came to Beth’s place for the weekend. Beth filled Sam in on more details about Star, telling her stories about what the girl was like as a child, telling her everything she could think of would interest Sam, even brought out some more photos and the letters she had collected from the girl. The more Sam learned about Star the more she wanted to meet her. During those two days they put together a plan of how to get Sam and Star together again.
It was decided that Sam should wait at least a year before she approached Star. She needed to wait until Star connected with Sam in the future or everything would go to hell. One slip up and Star might not get Sam’s Meephit or have her mind linked to Sam’s and it was that link that truly brought the two girls together, without it Sam would be just another girl and Star might run off, too scared to even make friends. Sam did not like the idea of waiting, but she understood. If she walked up to the girl too early she might change things in the past so much that she would forget her experiences with Star entirely, and she did not like that possibility.
During the sleepover Sam made up her mind to return to school. If she was going to have to wait an entire year before seeing Star she might as well keep her mind busy or she would drive herself insane. During school Beth also helped her deal with her psychic abilities, teaching her how to block out certain feelings and during lunch hour they played a strange kind of game dealing with people’s auras. Beth would ask Sam to pick out someone from the crowd and focus on the person until she could see their aura, without entering the person’s mind. It was hard work, but if she was going to live with these powers then she would need to gain some control over them. Beth became a very close friend over the passing months, keeping at Sam’s side during class change, making sure she didn’t get too overwhelmed by the surge of emotions that filled the halls. She was even kind enough to bring by new letters that Star wrote to her, telling Sam all about the girl’s life and what she was up to at that moment. Knowing that Star was indeed alive was like a large weight was lifted from her heart and she felt like she could finally live again.
Beth and Trish became closer with every passing day. They would sit beside each other during lunch and Trish tried to follow Beth’s lessons for Sam, asking a question every now and then. They went out on many dates, sometimes going out alone and others staying over night with Sam. Sam sort of felt like a third wheel and was embarrassed by this, but both girls insisted that she come a long at times and Beth teased that she could bring Star along when they met up and they could go doubles in the future. The notion of four of them going out together made Sam flush and she truly hoped it would be possible, but kept in mind that things might not work out between her and Star, as well as they have been for Trish and Sam, but she kept a small amount of hope in her heart.
Diana was more then happy to see her daughters so happy. She could see the changes in both girls and even inquired of Trish as to her relationship with Beth. Diana was very nice to Beth, inviting her over for dinner every now and then. She only warned the girl that she should be careful and not to go too quickly. She did this in front of all three girls, making sure that even Sam understood that she loved her as much as Trisha and wanted them to come to her if they ever needed.
She was more of a mother to Sam then her own mother ever was. The court hearing involving her parents divorce happened in the late months of winter and Sam was nervous that she would be called in to testify against her mother. She had to talk to a number of psychologists about the issue and how it all made her feel. She was scared out of her mind of her mother’s wrath and wished that she could just stay with Diana and Trish. Diana accompanied her to every one of the meetings and comforted her through some of the hardest times in her life. The doctors assured her that she would not have to go onto the stand, but the more information she gave the safer it would be for her, for they would make sure her mother could not even have visit her again.
The only sad change to her life involved Lisa. Upon learning about Trish and Beth’s dating she suddenly changed her attitude and became very vicious towards the girls. She called them names and said they were disgusting, insisted that Sam never speak to the girls ever again. When Sam explained that she too liked girls Lisa threw a fit in the middle of the lunchroom, throwing her tray of food at Sam and screaming at her, tears streaming down her face. Then she ran off and never returned to their group. Sam occasionally saw the girl in the halls but was only greeted with a middle finger or the girl screaming, “Dyke”, in her face. This saddened Sam slightly, but she realized that she would have to deal with something like this sometime in her life and she refused to allow Lisa to destroy her happy feelings. She needed to think of Star at that moment and she didn’t have time to deal with the girl’s immaturity.
Over the months, between studies, the three of them planned what they were going to do about that final dreadful day. They all agreed that they couldn’t confront the man or they might end up dead themselves, and what would that accomplish? Sam kept her eyes on the newspaper, looking at every photo of wanted criminals in search for someone who looked familiar, only to find nothing. Beth probed Sam’s memories of that last day in search for any information that might help them, what time was it when Star entered the house, where exactly was Star’s mother laying, was the door unlocked, and so much more. It was very stressful for Sam, but she tried her hardest to recall every last gruelling detail. As the school year began to crawl to an end she was started to get frustrated and afraid that she wouldn’t be able to save her friend after all.
Then one day near second semester exam time Beth came running up to Sam and Trish at their lunch table. She had stopped painting her face white and trimmed her bangs back during Christmas, but her hair was still dyed black and pink and still wore her trademark black attire and silver earrings. Trish gave the girl a quick kiss before Beth turned to Sam, a serious look upon her face.
“We have trouble.” She stated worriedly, she held a letter shakily in her hands.
“What is it?” Sam inquired worriedly.
Beth slid in next to Trish, across from Sam, and put the paper on the table in front of Sam, “I just heard from Star and it is not good. Her father was released from the hospital and was seen around her place. Her mother is packing up their things and moving again.” She said while franticly poking at the piece of paper.
“Where too?” Trish inquired, already knowing the answer.
Beth pointed at the new address on the page, “Recognize this?” She asked tapping the page before her.
Sam starred at the address in shook and glanced up at Beth, “Are you sure about this?” She inquired uneasily.
Trish breathed, “This can’t be possible… that’s…” She glanced between the two girls, “Sam’s old place…”
