6 YEARS LATER
Samantha quickly pulled on her white sweater over her baby blue button down blouse. She patted down her black pleated skirt and shoved her unpolished toes into black baby doll shoes. She brushed her hair into a ponytail and checked herself in the mirror. Over the past few years, she had grown her hair down to her back and dropped the dark make-up and being Goth. Sure it was her way to live life and enjoy it, but everything went awry after Danny left.
She sighed and looked at herself in the mirror. Danny. She closed her eyes and shook her head. She would have to forget him; he was no longer in her life. He had told her that himself.
"Samantha! Hurry and get down here! We're going to be late!" Benjamin yelled from downstairs.
"I'll be there in a sec, Ben!" She yelled back.
"For the last time, it's Benjamin!" She could hear him reply. Sam rolled her eyes as she grabbed up her black handbag.
"Whatever," she mumbled. She closed the door to the room that she shared with Benjamin and hurried downstairs. Benjamin was waiting for her at the door dressed in white trousers, soft pink button-down shirt and a white sweater hanging over his shoulder. He was Sam's husband of 4 years. He stood at 5 feet 10 inches with chestnut hair that was always neat and blue eyes that showed he was always in control and in command.
"Do I have to wear this?" Samantha asked as she stopped in front of him.
"Of course we have to honey, do you want to go to the Neils' house party in jeans and a T-shirt?" He asked, laughing. Samantha gave him a look that said, "That's what I wanted to wear". He pecked her on the lips and took her free hand.
"Where are you two going?" Zoey asked. She was 14 years old, an orphan of a black woman and a white man, adopted by Sam when she was 10. Sam had known her since she was 8 and had taken a liking to her. After all, she was just like Sam. She was currently going through the 'Goth stage' as Benjamin called it, but Zoey said it was her calling and Sam didn't mind. Sam missed her old self, she missed her old life. But it was time to move forward and stop living in the teenage years. She had gotten married and left everything behind her, including Danny. Sam turned to Zoey and removed her hand from Benjamin's.
"We're just going to a little party at the Neils' house," Sam said, trying to make Zoey's short black hair with red highlights, spikier than they were. Zoey's hazel eyes focused on Benjamin with hatred.
"We don't have all day! Come on Samantha!" Benjamin said.
"You know I hate that guy, Sam," Zoey whispered.
"I know you do and sometimes I do too, but we have to listen to my mother and father or else we have nothing to look forward to in the future, okay," Sam said, resting her hands on Zoey's shoulders.
"Why do you listen to everything they say?" Zoey asked.
"Because if I don't, who's going to look after you and send you to college?" Sam smiled at her daughter.
"I know that you can do that by yourself Sam, you have a good enough job."
"How about I tell you the story when I get back home?"" Sam asked standing up straight.
"Does it involve a guy?" Zoey asked excitedly. Sam smiled at her and nodded.
"It sure does," she said.
"Let's go, Samantha. I don't care about this thing about being fashionably late, I think it's more respectful if we arrive on time!" Benjamin fussed as he grasped Sam's arm and whisked her off.
"Bye mom!" Zoey called at the door.
"Bye Zoe!" Sam called as she sat in the front seat of their (insert expensive car). Benjamin got into the drivers' seat, buckled in and started the car. Very soon they were on their way to the party.
"What were you and Zoey talking about for so long?" He asked.
"Oh, you know, girl stuff," Sam smiled lovingly.
"You've come a long way from when we met, Samantha. You are less vicious than you were when you were 18 and you are more lady-like. Thank God you grew out of that Goth stage," he said, emphasis on 'Goth'.
"I'm glad I changed also, Ben," she said.
"We have been married for 4 years, Samantha. I thought that by now you would have understood that I do not like being called Ben," he said.
"I know, I just like to tease you," she said.
"I don't like to be teased either," he said.
'I've always hated rich, haughty people, who would have thought I'd get married to one?' Sam thought to herself. She didn't say anything else to Benjamin for the rest of the ride. After all she was a changed woman.
Okay, so that's just the first chapter. I still don't have that much planned but I will do that. And I'm not sure how long you really get in prison for killing someone, but I'll find a way to get out of that. So, look forward to seeing Danny once again!
