Sam POV:

It felt so good to tell my story. I felt a great weight lifted off of my chest with each word, and in it's place i felt a deep exhaustion. I looked around the room. Pamela was writing furiously in her notebook, Officer Scott was looking carefully at the projector in front of him, and then there were the boys. They all looked shocked, and on their faces i could see a mixture of anger, sympathy, and sadness; the same emotions which i had observed on Harry minutes earlier.

I lean back in my chair and close my eyes, letting out a long sigh.

"Samantha?" comes Pamela's gentle voice.

"Mhhmh" I mumble in response, not opening my eyes.

"I know you are tired, and that it has been a long day for you, but we are going to need to ask you a few more questions. Every little detail will help us catch the man who did this to you."

I open my eyes slowly and look at her. Nodding once.

"What do you need to know?" I ask

---

About an hour later I have told them everything i know. I have given them a description of my brother, Reid Jevrin. I let them know that i had seen Reid's friend from that day in the orphanage many other times. He would be in the corner at the coffee shop, on the bench by my school, walking down the street by the orphanage. I had seen him many times in the past twelve years, but never had he approached me. He was always just a face in the crowd, always there, always a reminder of his promise "One day, I will have you."...


Harry POV:

Pamela gives her recording of Sam's story to another officer so that they can immediately begin to track down Sam's brother and attacker. We leave the station, and head home after being assured that the men will be brought into custody in no time. Sam falls asleep a few minutes into the car ride, and nobody says a word. The reality of the situation has finally hits me, and i feel numb, sad. I am surprised when i realize that another strong feeling is brewing inside me. Anger. So much anger against Reid and his friend who did this to Sam. I would have expected to be disgusted, and sad, but angry? What was this girl doing to me?

By the time we get back to the house it is almost midnight. I carry Sam into the guest room, and remove her shoes slowly so I don't wake her. I lay her into the bed and tuck the covers around her securely before turning off the lights and returning to the living room where the rest of the guys are lounging around.

Niall is on the phone with Jennie, telling her everything that has happened. After he hangs up, he tells us that Jennie will be coming over in the morning to check on Sam. We are all exhausted, so we all decide to go to bed.

---

I wake up, feeling cozy and refreshed. I turn my head towards the clock, the red letters blare at me through the darkness of my room. 9:30. Ugh. Time to get up. I get dressed and brush my teeth, heading into the living room to find Niall, Liam, and Sam already there. Smiling, i pull out a chair and take a seat next to Sam.

"How did you get in here? Are those legs working yet?" I ask her, half teasing. She gives me a bright smile and nods her head.

"I was up early this morning, and I had to pee, so I learned to walk again!" she says, making Niall laugh.

"Yeah, and she ended up on the floor of her room because she couldn't get back into the bed on her own afterwards," he teases. Her eyes flash at him, as she protests

"Hey! that is NOT true Mr. Horan!" She turns her attention to me; "I would like to inform you that YES I am able to walk on my own, and NO I did not get stuck on the floor in my bedroom!" she insists.

"Fine," says Niall. "But admit it, it took you about half an hour to make it from your bedroom to the kitchen." He then turns to me and says with an eye roll, "She wouldn't accept any help from my gentlemanly self. She insisted on walking here all on her own." I laugh at Niall, and then pour myself some of the cereal which the others are all eating. Zayn comes down, and soon Louis appears just as the doorbell rings. He doubles back to answer the door.

Moments later he comes back into the room with Jennie in tow. Niall's face lights up, and we all greet her warmly.

Jennie grabs a pop tart from the cabinet, and leans against the counter while munching on it. Over the few weeks that Sam has been with us, we have gotten so used to having Jennie around, and we have all become friends with her.

"So, what's new?" She asks, mouth full.

"Well," says Liam, "Sam here has begun to walk again!"

Jennie pulls out a note pad, and takes note of this while asking Sam to demonstrate. She does, and we all see her struggle to walk around the kitchen, taking small slow steps. I can tell that it takes her a lot of effort to do this, but when she sits back down in her seat she has a huge smile of accomplishment on her face.

"Nice work Sam," Says Jennie, "You will be able to walk much easier soon once your muscles have worked out all of their kinks and gotten used to being used again!" she explains.

Jennie leads Sam over to the couch and sits her down, doing a few more tests before concluding that Sam is recovering fast, and just needs to keep drinking lots of water and getting a lot of rest.

After Jennie leaves, Zayn calls Perrie and arranges for her to come over for lunch. Louis gets Eleanor to come over at the same time.

I glance at my watch, and it's only 10:45. We still have over an hour until Perrie and Eleanor come over. I stand up from my seat on the couch, and turn around, offering my hand to Sam.

"C'mon, we have an hour to kill. Are you any good at air hockey?" I ask, as Sam takes my hand and pulls herself off of the couch.

"Oh, you have no idea, it's so on." She says in a challenging tone.

"We'll see about that," i say before scooping her into my arms



Samantha POV:

"We'll see about that," He says with a glint in his eyes, and before i know it my feet are off the ground and I am in his arms laughing. "Who wants to come see me kick Sam's ass at air hockey?" he bellows to the boys before running with me in his arms to the game room.

---

An hour later we are all laughing and happy. Harry and I had played five intense games of air hockey. I think he was going a little easy on me until he realized that he was in total danger of losing this. We won two games each, and technically i won the last one, but that might have been due to the fact that Liam had come up behind Harry and hit him hard with a pillow, allowing me to make the winning goal.

I'm on the ground laughing uncontrollably while Harry and the boys are in a full fledged pillow fight running around the room.

I hear someone clear their throat behind me, and i turn to see two beautiful girls standing in the doorway with looks of complete amusement on their faces. I struggle to my feet, still shaking with laughter, and introduce myself to these girls.

"I'm Eleanor," says the first girl, shaking my hand. "We let ourselves in," she explains. Her long brown hair is beautiful with natural curls. She has a huge smile on her face and seems very nice.

"I'm Samantha, you can call me Sam," I say warmly with a smile as i turn my attention to the second girl who must be Perrie. She has blonde hair with the ends dyed a bright pink. I can instantly tell that she has a fun, outgoing personality. I shake her hand too, and we all sit back and laugh at the boys who are scattered about the room attacking each other with pillows.

Harry is literally on top of the ping pong table trying to escape Liam. Louis and Zayn have ganged up on Niall and are running around trying to get him into the corner.

"I swear, sometimes they're two years old," says Perrie. I can tell I'm going to get along well with these girls.
