"Talk about what?" Sammy asked as she looked at him as she relaxed on the couch.

"Well, about your past," said Andre. "Sometimes it helps to talk about it. But if it hurts too much, I won't make you."

"Not its fine......My mom she was raised how to act and stuff my my grandmother but she changed after she meet my dad and had me." Sammy said as she pulled out her wallet and the picture of the three of them from the wallet. "My dad showed her freedom and how to be herself so my mom fell in love and married him my grandmother believes he tricked her but I can tell she was the happiest she could ever be when she married dad and had me and she wanted to raise me to be me not be what everyone things I should be." Sammy said as she held the picture of the three of them at the park together smiling and laughing. "I only meet my grandmother once when my parents were alive and how she fought with mom about divorcing my father and leaving me behind but mom refused." She said as she let out a deep sigh. "I miss them so much I missed my moms smile and my dads high energy and loving me with all their hearts while I am basically a stranger in my grandmothers life."

Andre listened silently until the end. "You may be a stranger to your witch grandma," he said, "but you're my friend. That's all that matters to me."

Sammy smiled at him. "Yeah and I am glad that I meet youand that we are friends now." She said to him and was just glad to be away from her grandmother and be free to be herself.

The rest of the day went on similarly. At bedtime Andre paused and asked, "Do you want me to sleep downstairs tonight?"

Sammy was heading upstairs when he asked that. "Yeah I think so just so you can get some sleep I felt bad that you stayed up almost all night because of me." She said to him.

"I just wanted to make sure you were okay," said Andre. He yawned, stretching. Well, g'night."

"Thanks Andre but I think I am ok." Sammy said with a small smile. "Well night." She said as she went to the room and laid on the bed and went to sleep. But as she slept memories of her past came back. First it was happy times were she was having fun but soon it got dark and gray and she heard screeching of brakes and the sound of metal crashing into each other. She then saw herself surrounded by the car wreak and blood on the ground were her parents laid dead. "No mommy...daddy please don't die don't leave me I need you please DON'T LEAVE ME!" She screamed and yelled in the dream as she cried. In real life she was screaming in her sleep as she cried out her mother and father but also crying for them to not leave her.

Andre ran upstairs. "Sam! Sam, wake up! You're having a nightmare!"

Sammy woke up crying still looking around. "Where am I....where is my mom and dad.....where are they?" She said while tears kept falling down her face.

"Sammy, your parents..." Andre was quiet, but firm. "They died in a car accident when you were little."

Sammy just cried more and latched onto him. "Why did they have to die.....WHY!?" She siad as she hugged him while crying. "I want them back."

"It just happened," said Andre. "It's in the past, Sam. We can't change it. Many things are beyond human control. Death is one of them."

"I know but its so unfair why did they have to die they have done nothing wrong they did not deserve to die." Sammy said as she kept crying into his chest.

Andre wrapped his arms around Sam, held her close. "Shh," he whispered. "I've got you.'

Sammy held him tight not wanting to let go of him. THe memories of her past hitting her hard now that she actually remember being in the car when it happened. "Why was I the only one to survive why did my parents die but I am alive?"

"I don't know, Sam," Andre murmured softly. "I just don't know."

Sammy cried for a while longer before passing out from crying so much. She just ended up wearing herself out mentally about the whole thing. She held him tight as she slept

Andre carefully laid down since he couldn't break Sam's grip. She'd fallen asleep with her head on his chest, her hands gripping his arms. He began singing softly.
