Chapter 17
As soon as the last song ended the tour was over. The band stayed on stage to greet some fans until about half of the fans were gone. They then walked off the stage going to where Sam and Anna were standing at. When Chester saw Sam, he walked over to her without saying anything and grabbed her hand. He started walking with her as the rest of the guys started walking towards the dressing room. As soon as they reached the dressing room, everyone walked in. In the room, there was a cake on the table. More chairs were also put in the room. Everyone was in there from the tour, the road crew and Bob Dallas too. Chester was glad that his son was there since he was going to help him with giving Sam the ring, and boy was he happy that his parents were going to be getting married again.
“Cake!” Joe yelled out. Chester shook his head as the band walked further into the room.
“Is this the party that you guys have been planning for awhile?” Sam quietly asked him. He started to get nerves about the whole proposal. Hoping that it wasn’t showing he let go of her hand.
“No, there’s going to be a bigger one after this. This is just for us as a band with the road crew and Bob, since the rest of the road crew is going home right after this” he said.
After Chester told her that, he then told her that he would go and get some cake for them and told her to go sit down on one of the chairs. Once she sat down, Draven came up and stood next to him. He looked over his shoulder to see if Anna was sitting next to her so she would distract her from watching him. Seeing that she and Anna were talking, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a small black ring box. All the guys and wives knew what he was going to do. He opened the ring box taking it out, setting it on top of the piece of the cake that he had already cut out.
“Daddy, I want to give mommy her cake” Draven said after he finished putting the ring on the cake.
“Sure, you can give it to mommy” he said grabbing a napkin putting it in his pocket so that he could wipe the frosting off the ring. He then handed Draven the plate and watch him walk over to Sam as she watched Draven walk up to her. He then gave her the plate as Chester saw Anna get up from her chair going back over to Mike since she knew that she was no longer needed. Once Draven gave Sam her plate, he ran back over to Chester and stood next to him. Making sure that Leticia was near Draven he went back to watching Sam as she was just about to go eat her cake. She stopped before getting any on her fork and set it down. Then he saw her go to pick the ring off the cake…
“Oh my ***!” he heard her let out as he saw her almost drop her plate. After she set the plate on the floor she looked up at him. Chester then took a deep breath and started walking slowly toward her. When he reached her, he got down on one knee.
“Sam, I know that our first time didn’t really work out. When we did separate I realized that I didn’t want to lose you and I knew that there might not be another chance in us being together again. When you were in the hospital a while ago I realized how much you really do mean to me. I was glad that we did give each other a chance at being together again, but what I’m trying to ask you is…” he paused for a little bit, “Samantha will you marry me again?”
For a while she didn’t say anything to him ‘She's not going to want to marry me again’ he thought to himself when he heard some of the guys telling her to say something. Then he saw her shake her head, “Yes -- yes I’ll marry you” she said.
After accepting the proposal, he took the ring she was holding and wiped the remaining frosting on a napkin that he had with him. Then he took her left hand and slipped the ring on her finger. Once he got the ring on, he leaned in and gave her a kiss. As she returned the kiss back he heard everyone clapping. When they pulled away he could see her smiling which made him smile to.
“All right guys, I hate to break up the happy moment but it's time to go and show up to the other party” Bob Dallas said. After Bob said that, Chester helped Sam up by holding her hand. Draven then came running up to Sam and grabbed her leg, hugging it.
“Mommy! I’m glad you and daddy are getting marries again” he said letting go of her leg. Letting go of Chester’s hand, she then picked Draven up.
As she and Draven where talking the guys came up to him and gave there congratulations. Some of the guys then started walking out of the dressing room. Sam still kept holding Draven in her arms as her and Chester walked out following the guys. When everyone got outside they all got onto one of the tour buses that was taking them down to the hotel where the other party was being held at.
As the tour bus pulled up to the hotel everyone started getting excited about the party before the tour bus even came to a complete stop. When the tour bus did stop, everyone then started getting off as fast as they could and started heading to the party. Sam handed Draven to Leticia so she could take him up to their hotel room since everyone was going to stay at the hotel for one night, so no one would have to worry about having to get home tonight and that way they could drink all they wanted. After Leticia took Draven, Sam and Chester got off the tour bus and walked towards where the party was at inside the hotel. As soon as they walked into the room Chester started to look around the room for Talinda. He spotted her across the room.
“Sam there’s someone I want you to see” he said taking her over to Talinda. When he reached her he saw that Sam was shocked to see her. He looked back at Talinda and couldn’t help but look at her up and down. His eyes landed on her stomach and saw that she was a little bit bigger. He noticed that she didn’t look bigger anywhere else. ‘No! She can’t be pregnant’ he thought to himself.
“Talinda what are you doing here?” Sam asked as Chester looked at Sam and noticed her eyes landed on Talinda’s stomach, ‘Oh ****, she is pregnant’
“Chester asked me to come to the party. I thought it was the perfect time in moving back here” she said but Sam didn't say anything back to her, “Sam are you okay?” Talinda asked seeing that she was in a daze.
“Yeah I’m fine” she said in a calm voice, “It’s good seeing you again” she said giving her a hug.
“Yeah. It’s good to see you too Sam” Talinda said as they pulled away.
“Um, I’m starting to feel really tired all of the sudden. I think I’m going to go up to the room maybe I’ll see you some other time” she said as she turned to face Chester “Chaz I’m going to head up to the room, could I have the card key?”
“Yeah. Sure” he said pulling it out of his pocket. He handed it to her and watched her walked out of the room, ‘Somethings not right about her’ he thought to himself.
“Chester are you okay?” Talinda asked him.
“Yeah. I’m fine but I’m not sure about Sam. Was it just me or did Sam seem to be acting strange?” he asked her.
“She did seem out of it”
“If you don’t mind me asking but are you pregnant?” he asked changing the subject and also wanting to know if it was true that she was pregnant.
As soon as the last song ended the tour was over. The band stayed on stage to greet some fans until about half of the fans were gone.

Continued Chapter 17
Talinda just smiled, “Yes I am”
“How far along are you?”
“Four months” she said.
“I didn’t know you got with someone that quick”
“Oh no! I’m not with anyone”
Chester raised his eyebrows, “Was it a one-night stand?”
“No. My baby -- it’s my husbands”
“Wait! I thought you told me he passed away?”
“He did” she told him.
“Then how is it's he’s child?”
“We always wanted to have kids but with all our work and consider opening our second law firm we just push having kids back. Then Matthew was diagnose with his cancer, he still wanted me to be able to have his kids so we decided to draw up a will stating that after he died I could still have his kids” she said. He could see her getting emotional talking about Matthew.
“Wow! And your okay with raising your baby by yourself?” he asked her.
“Yeah. It’ll be hard as I get closer towards the end of the pregnancy especially during the birth. But it’ll all be worth it in the end”
“Well I’ll be **** if it ain’t Chester Bennington” a voice said from behind Chester.
When he turned around he saw that it was Ryan Shuck. After giving each other the half hug/hand shake he said, “Hey man, I didn’t think you were going to make it”
“Will I did. Hey I didn’t know you and Talinda were still together”
“Were not” Both he and Talinda said at the same time.
“Were not together anymore. I had gotten back with Sam like a year ago. I just proposed to her an hour ago” Chester continued saying.
“Congratulations” he said
“Thanks. Speaking of Sam, I should go be with her. I’ll see you later Ryan and you to Talinda” he said before walking out of the room. Talinda followed him and stopped him before he got out of the room. He turned around and faced her.
“Chester I just wanted to say I’m happy for you and Sam”
“Thanks, I’ll give you a call later. Maybe you and Sam could do something then since she wasn’t feeling well” he said to her.
“That’ll be great I’ll hear from you soon” she said. Once he walked a way she walked back into the room and was stopped by someone. She saw that it was Rob.
“Talinda, hey I didn’t know you were going to be here”
“Rob! Hey, yeah, I finally decided to come back” she said before she gave him a hug.
When they let go of each other Rob spoke up, “That's good to know. Talinda listen about that night --”
“Don’t worry about it. Like I said I have no regrets, unless you're regretting it?”
“No -- no, I’m not” he then leaned closer to her ear, “That baby’s not mine is it?”
As Rob stood back up straight he watched Talinda's expression, “No! No it’s not yours. I’m sure about that. What kind of question is that?”
“I’m just asking because we, you know, we slept together”
Out in the foyer, Chester walked over to the elevator pressing the button to have the doors open. As soon as he pressed the button the door opened and he walked in press for the third floor. During the ride up he tried to figure out why Sam took off so fast. Until he thought about how she acted around Talinda ‘Don’t tell me Sam thinks that I got Talinda pregnant’ he thought to himself. A few seconds later, the elevator came to a stop and he got off the elevator walking down toward his and Sam’s room.
When he got to the door he went and grabbed the second card key out of his pocket. Once he got the door open, he walked further into the room and saw that Sam was lying down on the bed. Her back was turned toward him. Since it was pretty late he went into the bathroom to change. When he came out, he walked over to the bed and kneeled on the bed, “Sam I hope you’re not mad about Talinda being pregnant because I want you to know that I’m not the father of her baby” he said to her hoping that she could hear him.

‘Where am I?’ Sam thought the minute she woke up realizing that she wasn’t in her own room or the one she remember being in a couple days ago. As she sat up there was a voice that fill her head, ‘I’ve been dreaming about you for awhile Samantha’ she closed her eyes tightly, ‘No... Stop it... Leave me alone’ she thought to herself bringing her legs up closer to her as she wrapped her arms around them.
She didn’t feel Chester move as he got up, “Sam are you okay?” he asked her seeing that she had her arms wrapped around her legs. He moved his hand out and lightly touched her shoulder.
“Don’t touch me!” she yelled out jumping off the bed. She sort of calmed down as she saw that it was Chester.
“Sam are you okay?” he asked shocked that she just did that.
“Yeah. You just scared me” she said trying to play it off.
“Sorry about that”
“No! It’s okay” she said climbing on the bed to give him a kiss, ‘No I can’t kiss him. He cheated on me’ she thought to herself which caused her to pull away real fast, “I’m going to get ready so we can get ready to go home” she said getting off the bed and walked to the bathroom. She then realized that she was in the same clothes as yesterday. She stood in the bathroom looking at herself in the mirror, ‘I’m going to make everything okay again. Everything will be okay’.
When she came out of the bathroom, she walked to the other room where Draven and Leticia stayed in passing Chester as he made his way into the bathroom. As she came in further she saw Draven sitting at the end of the bed watching T.V.
“Good morning Sam, are you feeling better?” Leticia asked when she saw her as she was packing up.
‘No not really, but I will be soon once Talinda's gone’ she thought to herself, “Yeah. I’m fine”
“That’s good”
“Hey buddy, are you ready to go home?” she asked sitting next to him.
“Yep” he said.
A Couple Hours Later
After checking out and gathering all there stuff, they walked out of the hotel to an awaiting car waiting to take them back to the house. When they got to the house, Sam walked in went and sat down on the couch quietly.
“Sam are you okay?” she looked up and saw Chester standing in front of her, ‘No I won’t be fine until Talinda is gone’
“No. I’m not feeling well. I think that I’m going too laid down for a little bit” she said getting up and walked slowly towards the stairs. When she did reach the stair she stopped before going up them and looked over to Chester seeing that he was watching her. She then looked away from him quickly and continued walking slowly up the stairs.
Once she reached there room she walked over and sat down at the edge of the bed. She didn’t really feel all that tired, she just didn’t want to be around Chester. Sam then started to look around the room when her eyes fell on a picture that was on the nightstand next to the bed. Picking it up, she saw that it was a picture of her and Chester. While looking at it more the thought of Chester cheating on her came to her mind. Anger filled her and she threw the picture on the floor watching the glass break. She then got off the bed walking slowly towards the dresser that was in front of her and carelessly knocked off all the pictures that were on top of it onto the floor. She turned back towards the bed and grabbed the bed sheets, yanking them completely off the bed and onto the floor. Grabbing the pillows, that become scattered on the bed from her yanking the bed sheets, she threw one pillow at a time starting with the bigger pillows to the smallest one. When she got to the small ones she stopped setting them back down on the bed.
After setting the pillow down she walked into the bathroom and walked up to the cabinet, opening one of the drawers all the way out that she pulled it off the tracks causing the drawer to fall to the ground and everything to fall out of it. She turned her head towards the door. When nothing happen her eyes went back to the pile on the floor landing on a pair of scissors. Slowly she knelt down and carefully picked up the scissor off the floor holding it in her hand looking at it. Then she got up and walked back into the bedroom and grabbed the small pillows off the bed. Without thinking of what she was doing she stabbed the scissors into the pillow, tearing it open, making all the feathers come out of it and onto the floor.
She stopped tearing the pillow open when her eyes fixed on the beads hanging over the closet door that she dropped the pillow and scissors and walked over to the closet. Walking through the beads and into the closet she slowly ran her hand over her clothes. Suddenly she stopped running her fingers halfway through her clothes and grabbed one of her tops and yanked it off the hanger. Soon after that she started yanking all her clothes off there hangers throwing them onto the floor, not even touching Chester's clothes. After doing that to her clothes she grabbed a holed of Chester’s shoes and threw them onto the floor also. She turned around and faced where all the jackets where hanging at and yanked them off there hangers causing two of the blankets that were on the top shelve to fall down on the floor. As soon as they fell to the floor she noticed something shiny on the pile and saw that it was a gun. Not thinking about how it got there she picked it up and looked at it for a little bit. Then she walked out of the closet and out of the room walking down the stairs when she heard Chester’s voice talking to someone.
“I hope that she’s okay, Talinda” he said as she walked in the living room seeing that he was talking on the phone as his back was facing her.
Once she heard him say ‘Talinda’ she picked up her arms aiming the gun at him, “You can't leave” she said.
Chester slowly turned around seeing that Sam was holding a gun at him, “Chester, are you ok?” he heard Talinda’s voice asked through the phone as he was holding it away from his ears.
“It's Talinda on the phone, isn't it? It's always Talinda”
“Sam, what are you doing?” he asked her taking a step towards her.
“No!” she yelled out not wanting him to move anymore.
Chester stopped, still holding onto the phone, “Ok. You need to calm down. You need to take it easy”
“Chester, are you there?” Talinda’s voice asked again through the phone.
“Put the phone down Chester” she said to him.
“Chester is everything okay? Is Sam in the room?” Talinda asked through the phone again.
Chester stood there for a few seconds and then turned towards the coffee table and slowly set it down not hanging it up, “The phones down Sam”
“Move away from it” she said still pointing the gun at him.
She saw him step away from it, “Okay phones down Sam. You put the gun down and we can talk about what's bothering you” he said taking a step towards her.
“No!”
“You're upset, Sam. We're going to talk about --”
“No -- you don’t understand…how -- how could you do this to me…how could you?” she asked moving her arms a little bit.
“Do what to you Sam? What did I do?” he asked not understanding what she was talking about.
“Don’t you act dumb with me Chester…You cheated on me with Talinda and got her pregnant!” she cried out.
“Sam I didn’t get her pregnant. I could never cheat on you” he said taking another step towards her.
“No, I don’t want to hear it…why -- why did you do this to me?” she said lowering her arms. Chester then moved closer to her. Feeling him step closer to her, she quickly pulled her arms back up.
“Don’t!” Chester said taking a step back. Sam wrapped her finger around the trigger and pulled it.
Talinda who was still on the phone heard the shot go off, “Chester?”
BANG, BANG, BANG
“Chester!” she yelled into the phone.

“No. I’m not feeling well. I think that I’m going too laid down for a little bit” she said getting up and walked slowly towards the stairs. When she did reach the stair she stopped before going up them and looked over to Chester seeing that he was watching her. She then looked away from him quickly and continued walking slowly up the stairs.
Once she reached there room she walked over and sat down at the edge of the bed. She didn’t really feel all that tired, she just didn’t want to be around Chester. Sam then started to look around the room when her eyes fell on a picture that was on the nightstand next to the bed. Picking it up, she saw that it was a picture of her and Chester. While looking at it more the thought of Chester cheating on her came to her mind. Anger filled her and she threw the picture on the floor watching the glass break. She then got off the bed walking slowly towards the dresser that was in front of her and carelessly knocked off all the pictures that were on top of it onto the floor. She turned back towards the bed and grabbed the bed sheets, yanking them completely off the bed and onto the floor. Grabbing the pillows, that become scattered on the bed from her yanking the bed sheets, she threw one pillow at a time starting with the bigger pillows to the smallest one. When she got to the small ones she stopped setting them back down on the bed.
After setting the pillow down she walked into the bathroom and walked up to the cabinet, opening one of the drawers all the way out that she pulled it off the tracks causing the drawer to fall to the ground and everything to fall out of it. She turned her head towards the door. When nothing happen her eyes went back to the pile on the floor landing on a pair of scissors. Slowly she knelt down and carefully picked up the scissor off the floor holding it in her hand looking at it. Then she got up and walked back into the bedroom and grabbed the small pillows off the bed. Without thinking of what she was doing she stabbed the scissors into the pillow, tearing it open, making all the feathers come out of it and onto the floor.
She stopped tearing the pillow open when her eyes fixed on the beads hanging over the closet door that she dropped the pillow and scissors and walked over to the closet. Walking through the beads and into the closet she slowly ran her hand over her clothes. Suddenly she stopped running her fingers halfway through her clothes and grabbed one of her tops and yanked it off the hanger. Soon after that she started yanking all her clothes off there hangers throwing them onto the floor, not even touching Chester's clothes. After doing that to her clothes she grabbed a holed of Chester’s shoes and threw them onto the floor also. She turned around and faced where all the jackets where hanging at and yanked them off there hangers causing two of the blankets that were on the top shelve to fall down on the floor. As soon as they fell to the floor she noticed something shiny on the pile and saw that it was a gun. Not thinking about how it got there she picked it up and looked at it for a little bit. Then she walked out of the closet and out of the room walking down the stairs when she heard Chester’s voice talking to someone.
“I hope that she’s okay, Talinda” he said as she walked in the living room seeing that he was talking on the phone as his back was facing her.
Once she heard him say ‘Talinda’ she picked up her arms aiming the gun at him, “You can't leave” she said.
Chester slowly turned around seeing that Sam was holding a gun at him, “Chester, are you ok?” he heard Talinda’s voice asked through the phone as he was holding it away from his ears.
“It's Talinda on the phone, isn't it? It's always Talinda”
“Sam, what are you doing?” he asked her taking a step towards her.
“No!” she yelled out not wanting him to move anymore.
Chester stopped, still holding onto the phone, “Ok. You need to calm down. You need to take it easy”
“Chester, are you there?” Talinda’s voice asked again through the phone.
“Put the phone down Chester” she said to him.
“Chester is everything okay? Is Sam in the room?” Talinda asked through the phone again.
Chester stood there for a few seconds and then turned towards the coffee table and slowly set it down not hanging it up, “The phones down Sam”
“Move away from it” she said still pointing the gun at him.
She saw him step away from it, “Okay phones down Sam. You put the gun down and we can talk about what's bothering you” he said taking a step towards her.
“No!”
“You're upset, Sam. We're going to talk about --”
“No -- you don’t understand…how -- how could you do this to me…how could you?” she asked moving her arms a little bit.
“Do what to you Sam? What did I do?” he asked not understanding what she was talking about.
“Don’t you act dumb with me Chester…You cheated on me with Talinda and got her pregnant!” she cried out.
“Sam I didn’t get her pregnant. I could never cheat on you” he said taking another step towards her.
“No, I don’t want to hear it…why -- why did you do this to me?” she said lowering her arms. Chester then moved closer to her. Feeling him step closer to her, she quickly pulled her arms back up.
“Don’t!” Chester said taking a step back. Sam wrapped her finger around the trigger and pulled it.
Talinda who was still on the phone heard the shot go off, “Chester?”
BANG, BANG, BANG
“Chester!” she yelled into the phone.

Chapter 19
Sorry about the wait for this chapter. I really haven't felt like updating. I'll make sure to get the next one out sooner.
I'm going to dedicate this chapter to geeko, thanks for reviews!
******
BANG, BANG, BANG! After Sam fired the gun, she broke down and started to whimper lowering her arms. Chester slowly walked up to her and grabbed the gun taking it out of her hands. Behind Chester the glass doors of the cabinet on the TV stand where broken, “Come here. Come here. It's all right” he said to her pulling her into his arms, letting her cry, “No, no, you're going to be all right. You're going to be all right”
Sam stopped crying and pulled out of his arms, “No, no” she said shaking her head.
Chester then took a hold of her arm and glided her to the couch, “Sit down, sit down, sit down. Ok?” he then sat down on the coffee table still holding the gun, “Listen to me. I'm going to help you, ok, Sam?”
“No, you -- you can't”
“What do you mean? Huh?”
“No” she said and stayed silent for a few seconds, “You know what? No, I just figured everything out”
“Sam, listen to me, ok?” he said trying to get her attention back to him.
“No, I know. It's going to be ok”
“Listen to me --” he started to say but Sam cut him off.
“I'm going to be all right. I'm going to take care of it”
“You listen to me, ok? You need to take it easy”
“No, I'm going to show Draven that I'm going to be a good mom. He can always depend on me. And I'm going to be everything that you ever wanted me to be -- a good mother to our child, the love of your life. And we're going to be so happy, just like before”
“Ok, you need to lie down for a second, ok?” he said not really sure how her mental state really was.
“Hmm”
“Seriously, you need to lie down for one second, ok?”
“Ok” she paused, “Are you mad at me?”
“No, I'm not --”
“No, because I can't stand it if you're mad at me”
“I'm not mad at you. Just -- you need to lie down, you need to take it easy, and we're going to decide what we're going to do” he said getting up. He then was going to walk out of the room to put the gun away or set it down out of Sam’s reach when there was a loud bang on the door.
“Open up! It's the police!” the voice said and then the pounding continued. Chester looked at Sam. Frighten by the loud noise, Sam got up and quickly walked into the kitchen. Making sure that she wasn’t going to come out he clicked the safety on the gun and stuffed it in his back pocket.
He then calmly walked over to the door and opened it up, “Is there something wrong officers?” he asked but the two officers dismissed his question and walked into the house, “Whoa. Hey” he said as they walked further into the house.
“We got a call about shots being fired, Mr. --” the first police officer said looking around the place.
“Bennington” Chester answered for him.
“Is everyone all right?” the second one asked.
“Yeah, everything -- there's no problem here, ok? So what are you doing?” Chester asked. The first police officer walked into the living room, “No, no, no, not without a warrant”
“We don't need a warrant to secure a crime scene” the second officer said also walking into the living behind his partner.
“It's not a crime scene, it's my house” he said following them.
“What happened here?” the second officer asked Chester seeing the glass door on the cabinet T.V. stand.
The first officer looked down on the ground near the T.V. stand, “I've got a bullet casing right here” he called out.
“I just -- I had a little too much to drink. You know how it is. Listen, who called here? Is that why you're here, somebody called for the gunshots?” he then saw the second officer heading for the stairs, “What are you doing?” he asked.
“Find the kid” the second officer said seeing the gun sticking out of his pocket.
“No, no, no, hold on, hold on. My kid is upstairs sleeping” he said stopping the first officer who was starting to head over to the stairs.
“I just got to make sure that he’s safe”
“My kid will not be frightened!” Chester yelled at the officer.
“You're -- you're looking for me” Sam said slowly walking out of the kitchen and into the living room.
“Mrs. Bennington, what happened?” the first officer asked Sam seeing that she looked like she was hurt. Domestic violence rang through his head.
“No, no, she's a little upset. Listen to me --” he said trying to protect Sam from incriminating herself.
“No, I tried to kill Chester”
After Sam said that, the two police officers looked at each other and then looked back at Sam.
“Sam didn't try to kill me. What happened --”
“Yes, I did”
“Ok, what happened was I've been drinking, ok, like I told you, and I was -- I came downstairs, I got my gun, I started shooting at the pictures in the cabinet. She -- she has nothing to do with it. She's taking medication to try to sleep and she's a little confused, so I'm just going to go ahead and take her upstairs. Come on” he said going up to Sam.
“You're a liar, Mr. Bennington” the second officer said to him.
“Wow, that's not a very nice thing for him to say” Sam said.
“Ok, ok, sit down for a second, ok?” he said to Sam and made her sit down on the chair. He then turned to face the officers, “You need to get out of my house”
“Chester, we need to look at that gun” the first officer said.
“Not without a warrant” he said nastily to them.
The front door open and closed and Talinda came running into the living room, “Chester? Oh, thank *** you're ok. What happened?” she asked.
Chester quickly walked up to her, stopping her from coming in any further, “Nothing. Nothing” he said turning his head to face the officers.
The second officer then took out his hand cuffs, “Samantha Bennington --” he started to say as he sat down on the coffee table that was in front of her.
“Hey, you don't have to do it” Chester said wanting to stop him.
“You’re under arrest for the attempted murder of your husband --” the second officer said starting to read Sam her rights as he put one hand cuff on her wrist and then the other one. Sam started to rock her self back and front in the chair.
“You’re going to let him?” Chester yelled out to the first officer who stopped him from getting any closer to his partner.
“You have the right to remain silent…”the second officer continued to say ignoring Chester yelling at him.
“You’re going to let him do this, huh?” Chester yelled out again.
The first officer then turned to face him, “Mr. Bennington it's police procedure, she tried to kill you. I advised that you get a lawyer”
“Anything you say can and will be use against you in the court of law, you have the right to an attorney. If you can’t afford one, one will be provided for you. Do you understand these rights?”
“No, she does not understand!” Chester yelled out
“Do you understand what I just told you?” the second officer asked her again.
“Yes. I understand everything now” she said shaking her head. Chester watched Sam as he took a step back to calm down.
“Then let's go downtown” the second officer said getting up off the coffee table and started to pull Sam up.
“No, no, no” he said and took a step closer towards them, but the first officer stopped him.
“Chester --” Sam said not wanting to go with them.
“No!” he yelled out struggling with the first officer.
“Chester, Chester, don't let them take me!” Sam cried out.
“Let her go!” he yelled to the second officer.
“Chester!” Sam continued to yell out for him.
“You're scaring her!” Chester yelled out.
“Chester, please don't let them take me!”
“You're scaring her!” he yelled out again. Suddenly Sam stopped crying out for Chester.
“Let's go” the second officer said to his partner.
“Mrs. Bennington?” the first officer asked as he noticed it to. Something definitely was not right about her.
“Let's go” the second officer said as he started to walked Sam out of the living room. Then the first officer followed him out of the house.
After Sam was taken out of the house, Talinda walked up to Chester. She didn’t know what to think of Sam’s little show. She wasn’t sure if she believed that it was real. Before she could say anything to him Leticia voices yelled out for him, “Chester!” they heard “Chester come upstairs” Leticia yelled. Chester then took off up stairs thinking that something happen to his son. Talinda followed closely behind him. When they reached the top of the stairs they found Leticia standing near Chester and Sam’s room. Chester walked up closer to the door and was shocked at what he saw. The room was completely trashed.
“Oh my ***” Talinda softly said. He then walked in a little further and stopped when he heard a crunching noise. So he stopped and looked down at the ground seeing that he was stepping on some glass of a picture.
Chester then came back out into the hall way, “Leticia can you do me a favor? Can you take Draven to Sam’s mother's house?”
“Yeah sure. Chester what happen?”
“Sam -- I don’t know what happen. She just lost it. I think it's because she’s been thinking that I got Talinda pregnant. I just don’t want Draven to be scared by his mother”
“Okay I’ll take Draven to her moms”
“Thanks Leticia” he said as she walked to Draven’s room.
“I got to go. I got to go to the LAPD” he said facing Talinda.
“Is there anything you want me to do?” Talinda asked.
“I want you to…I want you to try and get Sam out” he said looking straight at her.
“Chester, I can’t. It’ll be too personal of a case for me. I’ll get one of my partners to take the case”
“Okay then let’s go down there” he said as he started to walk down the stairs.

Los Angeles Police Station
“Where's -- where's Chester?” Sam asked the first officer, who walked her into the police station, softly.
“He's probably on his way. Listen, where’s your shoe, Sam?” the officer asked her seeing that she was missing a shoe.
“What shoe?” Sam asked confused as she looked down.
“Where is it?” the officer asked again.
“It was probably at the house. Chester will bring it over”
“We need to get her to booking” the second officer said walking up to them.
“One shoe on, one shoe off. Does anybody remember the rest of that?” Sam asked out loud.
“The sooner we get this over with, the better” the second officer said.
“Yeah, yeah, ok” the first officer said.
“Do you want me to handle it?”
“No, I got it. You can start on the paper work. I’ll take her into the interrogation room. Just give me a couple of minutes with her, all right?” he said and the second officer nodded to him.
“You know, Chester hates me” she whispered to herself.
“Maybe I can get through to her” he continued, “Sam, Sam? Come on” he said pulling her into the interrogation room.
“Good luck” the second officer said.
The commissioner walked into the room walking pass the interrogation room, seeing through the one-way mirror that someone was in there, “What have you got?” he asked closing a different file he had with him, going up to his officer.
“Gunshots fired”
“What else is new?” He said that because it was something they always dealt with.
“The singer Chester Bennington from that rock band, Linkin Park his ex tried to kill him”
“You sure about that?”
“She confessed”
Just then Chester came walking into the station and saw the commissioner, “Commissioner? I want Sam released. I'm not going to press any charges” he said walking up to the commissioner and the police officer.
The officer looked at Chester, “Your ex-wife tried to kill you”
“It was a misunderstanding” he said. Behind Chester, Talinda slowly walked in stopping at the front desk watching them argue with each other.
“Sam was running around town with a loaded gun. She shot up your house with your kid upstairs”
“Did Sam shoot at you?” the commissioner asked.
“No”
“He's lying” he said to the commissioner.
“No, there was -- there was a gunshot, but nobody was hurt. I'm going to take Sam home, Commissioner”
“No one's getting anywhere until I get a full report from Officer Wagner. Come here” the commissioner said to his officer and they walked back to talk privately.
When the officer and commissioner walked away Talinda then walked up to Chester, “Hey. Is Sam all right?” she asked.
Chester turned around, “Did you call the cops?”
“I heard gunshots through the phone. I was scared. I didn't know what else to do” she told him. They heard footsteps walking closer to them and Talinda saw that it was her partner. She signaled for him to come over to them.
“Where's Sam at?” John, Talinda’s partner, asked.
“Interrogation” Chester said pointing behind him.
“Without an attorney present? I don't think so” he said and started walking towards the interrogation room as Chester followed him.
“Hold on, hold on, Chester, you're not going in there, all right?” the commissioner said stopping Chester from going in.
“Commissioner --”
“Book Mrs. Bennington -- excuse me, Ms. Cardossa -- on charges of attempted murder” the commissioner said and then he walked away with Officer Wagner.
Inside the interrogation, John was in there talking with Sam, but in the mental state she was in it was hard for him to do, “Well, I got your booking delayed. Want to tell me what happened?” he asked Sam but she didn’t say anything to John. All she did was look down at the table, “Sam, I'm your attorney now. I need to know what's going on. What happened at Chester’s? Sam?” he tried again.
“I miss my son.” Sam finally spoke up.
“Ok, why did you bring a gun?”
“He needs his mother” Sam softly said.
“Sam, please, I need you to stay focus, ok? Why did you try to shoot Chester?”
“Draven's getting bigger now. He is”
“I'm sure he is, Sam”
“He's not scared of me”
“Listen to me, you're in a lot of trouble, all right, and I want to be able to help you, but you're going to have to tell me what's going on so that I can get you home and you can be with your son” he said softly touching her hand.
Sam freaked at that, “Let go of me!” she yelled standing up.
John stood up too, “Ok, ok. It's all right. No, no, no, it's all right, it's all right. Just sit down” he said trying to calm her down. He then turned around and carefully walked out of the interrogation room, closing the door behind him.
Seeing John come out of the room, Talinda walked up to him, “How is she?”
“Where's Chester?”
“Fighting with the commissioner”
“Ok, I need for you to go in there and sit with her. I don't want her to be alone” John said.
“All right” she said and walked to the interrogation room.
“I don't care, it's against the law to shoot at people or carry a loaded handgun” The commissioner said walking back into the room that John was in.
“No way to prove that, Commissioner. Commissioner!” Chester yelled out as he walked away.
“There were bullet holes in the floor. Sam admitted she was trying to kill you” the first officer said to Chester.
“She didn't know what she was saying, Officer”
Before it got out of hand and Chester said something stupid John walked up to him, “Chester? Excuse me. Officer, can you excuse us for a second, please?” The officer nodded and walked away, “She's in really bad shape” he softly said so no one could hear them.
“That's why Talinda called you. You got to get her released, John”
“Chester, I don't think I can do it”
“The mother of my son is in there, caged up like an animal. You get her out of here, no matter what you have to do, because I'm not leaving here without Sam”
In the interrogation room, Talinda saw Sam sitting in a chair, her back facing her. As she walked in further Talinda heard some scratching noises. She came to the side of the table and saw that she was scratching her finger nail on the table and that she wasn’t looking up just looking down on the table. Sam then stopped scratching the table and rested her head on the table as Talinda went and sat down on the chair.
“Sam what’s going on? What’s happening to you?” Talinda asked.
Sam lifted her head and looked at her, “Go away Sandra. Leave me alone…”she stood up knocking her chair down but she couldn’t go anywhere since she was handcuff to the table “…we don’t need you. Chester loves me and he always has. I don’t need you to try and take him away from me because you can just go back to being dead to me” she said then she started to smile, “I have a good life. I knew I would if I tried hard. I have everything I ever wanted -- a husband who loves me, a beautiful son…” then her smile turned into a frown “…but I lost them, didn’t I? My family. My son. The pictures they where just lies…”
“Is that why you shot at the pictures?” Talinda asked her.
“…It hurts too much to look at them. We were so happy. When did everything go wrong?” she asked. Sam then looked down at the floor and picked up her chair. Sitting back down, she went back to scratching at the table. Talinda then slowly walked over to the door, but before she walked out she turned her head looking back at Sam.
“I don't know, maybe I can get her transferred to a psych ward” John said to Chester.
Chester shook his head, “No”
“Chester, you want her to spend the night here?” John asked
“Sam's not spending the night here, she's not going to a mental hospital, John”
Getting frustrated with Chester, John said to him, “Chester, she tried -- she tried to kill you”
“She shot up a few pictures, John” he said back, brushing it off lightly.
“Chester, she's a danger to herself and to others. She belongs in a psych ward” John said trying to get the point through Chester but obviously it wasn’t working.
“I’ve got a idea” Chester said and told John about how he could get Sam out of the police station without her going to jail or being transferred to a psych ward. Talinda open the door closing it behind her when she walked out of the door. “We're clear on everything?” he asked when he finished telling John the plan.
“Yeah, I'll see what I can do” John nodded and walked away to make the deal with the commissioner.
Chester walked up to her, “How is she?” he asked.
“Not good Chester, she flipped out on me. She’s not faking it. She seriously is having a breakdown and I have a feeling that this breakdown it’s more than just her thinking that my baby is yours”
“What do you mean?” he asked
“I don’t know it’s just a feeling. I know that Sam can be very manipulative. I'm sorry, Chester, I shouldn't have said anything”
“Sam has been through one crisis after another since November. She's just on overload. And it finally caught up to her just when she was turning her life around”
“It's more than that, Chester. She needs serious psychiatric help”
“I know what I have to do” Chester said.

Los Angeles Police Station
“Where's -- where's Chester?” Sam asked the first officer, who walked her into the police station, softly.
“He's probably on his way. Listen, where’s your shoe, Sam?” the officer asked her seeing that she was missing a shoe.
“What shoe?” Sam asked confused as she looked down.
“Where is it?” the officer asked again.
“It was probably at the house. Chester will bring it over”
“We need to get her to booking” the second officer said walking up to them.
“One shoe on, one shoe off. Does anybody remember the rest of that?” Sam asked out loud.
“The sooner we get this over with, the better” the second officer said.
“Yeah, yeah, ok” the first officer said.
“Do you want me to handle it?”
“No, I got it. You can start on the paper work. I’ll take her into the interrogation room. Just give me a couple of minutes with her, all right?” he said and the second officer nodded to him.
“You know, Chester hates me” she whispered to herself.
“Maybe I can get through to her” he continued, “Sam, Sam? Come on” he said pulling her into the interrogation room.
“Good luck” the second officer said.
The commissioner walked into the room walking pass the interrogation room, seeing through the one-way mirror that someone was in there, “What have you got?” he asked closing a different file he had with him, going up to his officer.
“Gunshots fired”
“What else is new?” He said that because it was something they always dealt with.
“The singer Chester Bennington from that rock band, Linkin Park his ex tried to kill him”
“You sure about that?”
“She confessed”
Just then Chester came walking into the station and saw the commissioner, “Commissioner? I want Sam released. I'm not going to press any charges” he said walking up to the commissioner and the police officer.
The officer looked at Chester, “Your ex-wife tried to kill you”
“It was a misunderstanding” he said. Behind Chester, Talinda slowly walked in stopping at the front desk watching them argue with each other.
“Sam was running around town with a loaded gun. She shot up your house with your kid upstairs”
“Did Sam shoot at you?” the commissioner asked.
“No”
“He's lying” he said to the commissioner.
“No, there was -- there was a gunshot, but nobody was hurt. I'm going to take Sam home, Commissioner”
“No one's getting anywhere until I get a full report from Officer Wagner. Come here” the commissioner said to his officer and they walked back to talk privately.
When the officer and commissioner walked away Talinda then walked up to Chester, “Hey. Is Sam all right?” she asked.
Chester turned around, “Did you call the cops?”
“I heard gunshots through the phone. I was scared. I didn't know what else to do” she told him. They heard footsteps walking closer to them and Talinda saw that it was her partner. She signaled for him to come over to them.
“Where's Sam at?” John, Talinda’s partner, asked.
“Interrogation” Chester said pointing behind him.
“Without an attorney present? I don't think so” he said and started walking towards the interrogation room as Chester followed him.
“Hold on, hold on, Chester, you're not going in there, all right?” the commissioner said stopping Chester from going in.
“Commissioner --”
“Book Mrs. Bennington -- excuse me, Ms. Cardossa -- on charges of attempted murder” the commissioner said and then he walked away with Officer Wagner.
Inside the interrogation, John was in there talking with Sam, but in the mental state she was in it was hard for him to do, “Well, I got your booking delayed. Want to tell me what happened?” he asked Sam but she didn’t say anything to John. All she did was look down at the table, “Sam, I'm your attorney now. I need to know what's going on. What happened at Chester’s? Sam?” he tried again.
“I miss my son.” Sam finally spoke up.
“Ok, why did you bring a gun?”
“He needs his mother” Sam softly said.
“Sam, please, I need you to stay focus, ok? Why did you try to shoot Chester?”
“Draven's getting bigger now. He is”
“I'm sure he is, Sam”
“He's not scared of me”
“Listen to me, you're in a lot of trouble, all right, and I want to be able to help you, but you're going to have to tell me what's going on so that I can get you home and you can be with your son” he said softly touching her hand.
Sam freaked at that, “Let go of me!” she yelled standing up.
John stood up too, “Ok, ok. It's all right. No, no, no, it's all right, it's all right. Just sit down” he said trying to calm her down. He then turned around and carefully walked out of the interrogation room, closing the door behind him.
Seeing John come out of the room, Talinda walked up to him, “How is she?”
“Where's Chester?”
“Fighting with the commissioner”
“Ok, I need for you to go in there and sit with her. I don't want her to be alone” John said.

Thanks X...Re-Arranged...X for the review.

‘Rock-a-bye, baby Talinda gonna to die when Talinda dies her baby’ll be ours and when she’s gone from the picture we’ll get to be a happy family’ Sam hummed her own version of ‘Rock-a-bye, baby’ to herself as she was still sitting in the interrogation room. She heard some footsteps coming closer and turned her head as the door slightly open. What she saw was a teenager Sandra, wearing her blood stained cheer leading uniform and there was blood ruining down her face. “No…No not again” Sam said to herself but Sandra heard her, “It’s your fault Samantha, your fault, all your fault that I died” she said to her. “No stop it… stop it” Sam said moving her arms to cover her face but since her one arm was still hand cuff to the table she closed her eyes tightly putting her free hand around her head. After a few minutes, she slowly opened her eyes and saw that there was no Sandra and that the door was closed.
Two minutes later, the door open again and Chester, a not dead Sandra and a person dressed in a business suit came into the room. Chester walked up to Sam and kneeled down and reached out to touch her. “No don’t touch me” she said moving back a little, “Don’t make me go there Chester…I don’t want to go there…Don’t send me there.”
“Sam, its okay. You’re not going anywhere but home okay? I won’t let anything happen to you”
“Why is he here?” she asked looking at John.
“Sam that’s John, he’s your attorney. He's going to bring you home, okay?” he said/asked.
“Okay”
Wanting to get out of the room Talinda spoke up, “I’ll go get her un-cuffed” she said and then walked out of the room.
When she left the room Sam leaned closer to Chester and grabbed his arm with her free hand, “Chester what is she doing here? I don’t want her here. Make her go away.”
Out of the interrogation room, Talinda took a deep breath as she leaned against the door. Before she started walking out toward the front desk Talinda’s phone went off. She pulled her phone out of her purse and looked at the number, “Hello?” she answered.
“Talinda, hey it’s me Rob.”
“Hi Rob.”
“Listen, I know this may sound ridiculous but I want to see you.”
“I want to see you to but it’s not a good time. I’m actually down at the police station.”
“What happen?”
“I’m fine. It’s actually Sam.”
“What did she do?”
“I’ll tell you later, okay?”
“Alright. Be careful.”
“I will” she said and then closed her phone. She then walked towards the front desk when she saw Office Wagner, “Officer? Can Sam's hand cuffs be taken off?”
“No. She's a danger to herself and to others”
“Oh come on! At least let her say goodbye to her ex-husband”
“Alright fine” he then started to walk to the interrogation room as Talinda followed her.
“Sam, she’s here to help you out”
“No she’s not. She wants me to stay here”
After Sam said that, Talinda and Officer Wagner walked into the room. The officer walked up to Sam and then un-cuffed her from the table. Chester sense that she didn’t want to be touch, “It’s okay Sam” he said making her look at him. After the officer un-cuffed her he walked out of the room. “Sam I want you to know something. Talinda and I are going to leave, John, he’s going to bring you home okay?”
“Why can’t I go with you?” Sam asked confused.
“Because we have to make it look like where having you transferred to a psych ward”
“No…No he’ll take me to that place and not home where I want to be, with you… I don’t want to go there…Chester please don’t make me go there” Sam cried out.
“I’m not going to take you there. I promise you I won’t” John said.
“You won’t?”
“I won’t”
“Okay Sam I’m going to go now before the police start thinking somethings up. I'll see you at home okay?”
“Okay” she said softly. Chester got up and walked out of the interrogation room with Talinda following him. He didn’t stop walking and walked out of the police station.
It took Chester thirty minutes to pull up to his house. As soon as he turned the car off Talinda pulled up into the driveway. He got out of the car and walked to his door, opening it up.
Talinda followed Chester into the house, “Sam's better off at Benjamin Rush. She'll have a chance to heal” she said and walked over to the cabinet.
“No, leave it, leave it. I'm going to take care of that later” he said.
Both Talinda and Chester heard talking and turned towards the door and saw John walking Sam into the house “You can take a nice rest, all right?” he said calmly to Sam, “It worked. The LAPD thinks that Sam's been transferred to Benjamin Rush”
“Did you handle the rest?” Chester asked.
“Yeah, supposedly she's in isolation -- no calls or visitors for 72 hours.”
“Why'd you leave John to bring me home?” Sam asked.
“I told you Sam we had to make it look like you were being transferred to Benjamin Rush. You just take it easy and go upstairs to rest, okay”
“Yeah, ok”
“Ok?”
“That sounds good” Sam said slowly.
“Ok. I’ll take you upstairs, okay? Thank you for, you know --”
“Yeah, it's only going to buy you a couple of days, Chester” John said.
“That's all I need” he said walking up to Sam. He carefully put his arm around her and walked her over to the stairs.
“All right, I hope you know what you're doing” John said. Chester looked at John and shook his head.
“Chester I’m going to go okay? Call me if you need anything” Talinda said.
“Okay” he said and then walked Sam up the stairs.

Continued Chapter 21
Talinda walked out of the room and went over to her car, she got in and drove home. When Talinda got home she sat her stuff down and took her cell phone out and called Rob back.
“Hello?” he answered.
“It’s me Talinda. Sorry I cut are conversation short earlier.”
“It’s okay. So what happen to Sam?”
“She tried to kill Chester.”
“What! Is he okay?”
“Yeah he’s fine. She missed him. Rob, Sam's having a breakdown. She thinks my baby is his.”
“Why would she think that? Because you came back pregnant?”
“I guess so. Are you still willing to come over?”
“Yeah I’ll be there soon”
When Chester got up the stairs, he took Sam to the room forgetting that she trashed the room. He stopped just outside the room and realized that it was trashed.
“What happen to the room?” Sam asked.
“You did it because you were upset” he said.
“I did? I don’t remember”
“It’s okay you don’t have to. You can rest in Draven’s room, okay?”
“Okay” Sam said. Turning her around and walked her across the hall to Draven’s room. He opened the door and helped her to their son’s bed. Pulling back the cover for her, he had her sit down.
“I’ll bring you some clothes to change into later, okay?”
“Okay” she said. She then moved down and laid on her side having her back face the door. She kept her eyes open as she heard Chester leave the room closing the door. Once she knew that Chester left the room she laid there for a while and then jumped out of the bed and looked around room when she saw the door. She walked over to it and opened it up. She stood there in the doorway and didn’t hear anything so she walked down the hall and stopped at the top of the stairs. Slowly she walked down the stairs stopping at the last step. When she didn’t hear anything, she was about to move when she heard the front door close. She quickly walked fast back up the stairs going back into Draven’s room and closed the door softly. She walked up to the bed and laid back down on it. When her head hit the pillow she suddenly felt tired and closed her eyes falling asleep.
(Dream)
As Sam was just about to fall asleep she heard the bedroom door open. She turned around sitting up and came face to face with Sandra’s father Robert Grace.
“Mr. Grace what are you doing here?” she asked.
“You know why I’m here” he said coming more into the room closing the door behind him.
(End of Dream)
“Noooooo!” she screamed out, sitting up.
“Sam are you okay?” the door opened and Chester came in.
“No… he…he’s coming back for me… you have to…you have to protect me Chester…he’s going to come back and hurt me”
Chester walked over to the bed and sat down, “No ones going to come and hurt you Sam. I’m going to keep you save, okay?”
“Okay”
“Did you try and go to sleep?” he asked
“For a little bit”
“Alright. I brought you some clothes to change into. I’m going to leave you again so I can clean up our room okay. I’ll see you in the morning”
All Sam could do was shake her head as he got up. He walked out of the room and left her to change, which she did. She then got back into bed and laid back down closing her eyes.
At Talinda's house Rob was there. They were sitting on her couch talking with each other, “So Sam thinks that when we were in New York, Chester cheated on her and got you pregnant?”
“Yeah?” Talinda said shaking her head
“Have you told Sam that Chester didn’t cheat on her?”
“No. But I’m sure Chester’s already told her” they sat there in silence for a little bit then Talinda spoke up again, “Have you told Chester that we slept together?”
“No. I’m scared he’ll want to kick my *** because you’re his ex-girlfriend”
“Chester’s not like that”
Again, they sat in silence. Rob was then the one who spoke, “Would you like to go out with me? I know it's probably not a good time but --”
“No. I loved to. It’ll be good to do something else and not think about what’s going on right now”
“Does tomorrow sound good?”
“Yeah”
“Okay tomorrow it is. Guess I’ll go now” Rob said. Before he got up, he leaned in closer to Talinda and softly kissed her. He let go and then got up, “I’ll see you tomorrow”
“Yeah” Talinda said and watched Rob walked to the door and walk out closing the door behind him.

Once she knew that Chester left the room she laid there for a while and then jumped out of the bed and looked around room when she saw the door. She walked over to it and opened it up. She stood there in the doorway and didn’t hear anything so she walked down the hall and stopped at the top of the stairs. Slowly she walked down the stairs stopping at the last step. When she didn’t hear anything, she was about to move when she heard the front door close. She quickly walked fast back up the stairs going back into Draven’s room and closed the door softly. She walked up to the bed and laid back down on it. When her head hit the pillow she suddenly felt tired and closed her eyes falling asleep.
(Dream)
As Sam was just about to fall asleep she heard the bedroom door open. She turned around sitting up and came face to face with Sandra’s father Robert Grace.
“Mr. Grace what are you doing here?” she asked.
“You know why I’m here” he said coming more into the room closing the door behind him.
(End of Dream)
“Noooooo!” she screamed out, sitting up.
“Sam are you okay?” the door opened and Chester came in.
“No… he…he’s coming back for me… you have to…you have to protect me Chester…he’s going to come back and hurt me”
Chester walked over to the bed and sat down, “No ones going to come and hurt you Sam. I’m going to keep you save, okay?”
“Okay”
“Did you try and go to sleep?” he asked
“For a little bit”
“Alright. I brought you some clothes to change into. I’m going to leave you again so I can clean up our room okay. I’ll see you in the morning”
All Sam could do was shake her head as he got up. He walked out of the room and left her to change, which she did. She then got back into bed and laid back down closing her eyes.
At Talinda's house Rob was there. They were sitting on her couch talking with each other, “So Sam thinks that when we were in New York, Chester cheated on her and got you pregnant?”
“Yeah?” Talinda said shaking her head
“Have you told Sam that Chester didn’t cheat on her?”
“No. But I’m sure Chester’s already told her” they sat there in silence for a little bit then Talinda spoke up again, “Have you told Chester that we slept together?”
“No. I’m scared he’ll want to kick my *** because you’re his ex-girlfriend”
“Chester’s not like that”
Again, they sat in silence. Rob was then the one who spoke, “Would you like to go out with me? I know it's probably not a good time but --”
“No. I loved to. It’ll be good to do something else and not think about what’s going on right now”
“Does tomorrow sound good?”
“Yeah”
“Okay tomorrow it is. Guess I’ll go now” Rob said. Before he got up, he leaned in closer to Talinda and softly kissed her. He let go and then got up, “I’ll see you tomorrow”
“Yeah” Talinda said and watched Rob walked to the door and walk out closing the door behind him.

The Next Day
In the morning after Talinda called Rob, she left her house and headed over to Chester’s to see if Sam was doing better. Once she got there, she parked her car and got out. She then walked up to Chester’s door and waited for him to answer it. When he did, he looked a little happy to see her. ‘Oh no, maybe Sam isn’t doing that good ’she thought to herself.
“Hey Talinda it’s good to see you. You can come in” he said and move to the side to let her in. When she walked in Chester closed the door and led her over to the living room area, “Talinda do you mind staying here for a little while? I’m going over to Sam’s mom's to see Draven. I’ll be back soon.”
“Sure. I’ll stay” she said.
“Sam should be asleep right now. If she asks were I am at just tell her I’ll be back soon. I’ll probably be back in an half an hour” he said walking over to the door.
“Okay” she said as she heard him close the door. Hoping that Sam wouldn't wake up and want to go after her, she walked around the room looking at the pictures around the T.V. After looking at the pictures around the T.V., Talinda walked over to the dining room area. She walked around the room when her eyes landed on more pictures that were on a small table right near the dining table. She walked up to them and picked up one seeing that it was a picture of Sam, Chester and Draven when she heard footsteps run down the stairs.
“Put that down and get out of my house! You shouldn’t be here” she turned around and came face to face with Sam.
“I’m here for Chester.”
“No, I mean here, in Los Angeles, on planet earth. Your dead, and you’ve been dead for a long, long time, and dead woman don’t steal fiancé or children or knickknacks” Sam said grabbing the picture out of her hands “You can’t have this” she said.
“I don’t even want it Sam.”
“Of course you do. Chester loves this picture. Of course you want it. But you can’t have it” she said and threw the picture at the small bar.
“Sam, don’t get worked up on this” she said trying to calm Sam down from getting further upset and possibly attacking her. She didn’t want that to happen and if it did she do anything to protect her child.
“There, its settle. And don’t call me Sam.”
“Okay I’m sorry, it's what I’m use to.”
“Well, get unused to it. I’m Samantha. Only my real friends can call me Sam. You’re Talinda. Talinda Bentley” moving her head back and forth as she said her name, “I don’t even know you.”
“I don’t want to hurt you, Samantha.”
“I know what you want, okay? You want to take what’s mine. You want to take everything that I love. All of this…”she moved her hand around to point all the stuff that was around the house “…We worked hard for it! You can’t have it!” she said getting upset.
“Okay, you did a fantastic job here. This is a really, really nice place.”
“Okay…”she walked over to where their wine glasses were at and grabbed one of them, breaking it so that it was sharp, ‘Oh ****!’ Talinda thought to herself. Sam turned to face her, “…your lying…”she said as Talinda heard the front door open and closed. Talinda breathed in relief that Chester was back “…You were so much easier when you stayed dead. I wish you could’ve just stayed that way!” she said walking up to her as Talinda step back toward the kitchen area. Chester walked behind Sam grabbing both of her arms stopping her from further attacking Talinda.
“Sam” he said.
“No” she said trying to break free from him.
“Stop…don’t…” he said trying to calm her down, “…its okay.” He moved his hand down her arm to go and take the wine glass out of her hands once she sort of calmed down but not taking it out of her hands just yet.
Sam then tried to move at Talinda again, “Uhhh” she let out because Chester was holding her back.
“Sam. Sam, Sam --” he said trying not to cut his hand as she turned around to face him and also to get him to let go of the wine glass.
“Chester, Talinda -- Talinda is dangers! She’s coming after me!” she said letting go of the glass.
“Listen nobody’s coming after you, Sam” he said as he set the glass down on the small table close to the dining table.
“No, no, no, I’m telling you, she…she made all these years to come after me. She thinks I destroyed her life, but I didn’t, I swear! My brother told me that it wasn’t my fault but it is. I -- I promised you, he said that I didn’t mean to make her crash her car!” she said as he put his hands on her shoulders moving her over to a chair. Talinda just stood there, listening to Sam talk regretting ever keeping her secret for twelve years.
“Sit down, sit down…” he said pulling one of the chairs out sitting her down as he pulled another chair out moving it in front of hers. Talinda walked closer leaning against the wall across from there wine glass case. “…listen to me okay? It’s not your fault.”
“Yes -- Yes it -- Yes it is. At least -- at least bad things couldn’t have happen to her like it happen to me until -- until I found you then it all stopped” she said sobbing. After Sam said that Talinda thought to herself about what could of happen to her.
“Listen to me --” he said looking up at Talinda as Sam shook her head.
“It’s was the only safe place” she said still shaking her head while looking down at the ground.
“You’re safe, you’re safe with me, okay?” he put his hand under her chin pulling her face up so she would look at him “Listen to me, you’re the mother of our son. No one’s going to hurt you as long as I’m alive. You understand that? I will protect you till the day I die” he said. Getting to be too much for her, Talinda walked over to the small steps, but before she walked down them she looked back over at Sam and Chester to take a quick look at them. She then turned and walked down the small steps walking over to the front door opening it and walked out of the house, closing the door behind her, “Do you get what I'm -- Sam, listen to -- listen to me, ok? Do you understand what I'm saying?” Chester asked Sam.
Looking at him, Sam asked, “You'll protect me?”
“I will protect you and we're going to get through this.”
“I'm safe” she said.
“Because --” he couldn’t finish as since she kept saying that she was safe, “You are safe. Come here” he said bringing her close to him, wrapping his arms around her.
Once Talinda closed the door she let out a sigh then walked over to her car getting in and drove off back to her house. When she pulled up to her house she notice Rob’s car was in her driveway. After she parked her car, she walked up to her door opening it and saw that Rob was sitting on her couch. She walked over to him and sat down next to him with a heavy sigh, “Have you been waiting long?” she asked.
“No I got here ten minutes ago” pausing then he continued, “I take it things didn’t go to well at Chester’s” he said
Talinda looked at Rob, “You know, when my husband died, I thought I would lose my mind, but I never lost it like Sam has and she hasn’t lost anyone like I have.”
“Did she know who you were?”

Continued Chapter 22
“Oh, yeah, you bet. She went straight for my jugular…” he just looked at her wide eyed “… you know, she was my best friend and I’m suppose to have compassion for her, but I’m truly amazed at how this started just by her thinking I’m caring Chester’s child. And today she was talking about bad things happing to her after my accident, not saying what they were, it’s like she wants me to get mad at her for the whole accident in the middle of a psychotic episode. I think she’s going to get what she wants”
“Are you? Are you mad at her for causing your accident?” he asked.
“It was just a misunderstanding between us that caused me to getting into the car that night. When I was just over at Chester’s and she was rambling off about things that have happened to her, I did start to feel bad for keeping my secret for so long”
“But it's really not either of your girls faults. You did tell her in time”
“Yeah, I know, but I told them thinking that I messed up to much and that it would solve some problems between me and Sam. When we decided to try and be friends again I wasn’t sure if she was faking it or if she was being true, now I’m not sure that we will ever be friends like we were in high school” she said
At Chester’s, Chester let go of Sam and she sat up straight again, “I don't -- I don't understand what's happening to me or what I'm supposed to do.”
“Listen to me, ok? Nothing --” he started out but she wasn’t looking at him. He put his hand on her shoulder making her look up, “Look at me. You just got to rest a little bit, ok, and then I'm going to take care of you.”
“But you're mad at me” she said.
“I am not mad at you” he reassured her.
Sam shook her head, “Yes, you are, and so is Draven. Oh, ***. Oh, ***. Oh, I don't want him to see me like this. What will he think?”
“He’s going to think that his mother's not feeling well and his father's going to do whatever he can to make her feel better. Meantime, Draven is staying at your mother’s house.”
“Oh, good. That means he’s close.” Sam then paused, “Chester? I have thoughts. Bad thoughts.”
“I know you do.”
“And we have to keep Draven safe.”
“Draven is safe, ok? Draven is going to be fine. And so are you, I promise”
“You're such a good dad” Sam said touching the side of Chester’s face.
“It’s okay. Once she gets better you girls can talk things out again” Rob said.
“Rob the problem is, is that I’m not sure that she’s going to get better soon. I think she's getting worst and that it’s going to be to late when we realize and someone gets hurt in the end”
Rob shook his head, “We need to tell Chester and make him get Sam help and we also need to tell Chester about us” he said and took a hold of her hand, “We can cancel the date and go some other time. Let’s do it right now and go to Chester’s”
“Are you sure about that? Are you sure you want to tell Chester about us?” Talinda asked.
“Yeah. I want to get it over with and out in the open”
“Okay then lets go.” They got up and walked out of the house.
Back at Chester’s, Chester had help Sam up to Draven’s room so that she could rest. Once she was on the bed, Chester sat down, “You'll be surrounded by all of Draven's things, all right? It'll make you feel a lot better, help you out” he said.
“What if Draven comes in here? He'll be so upset to see me like this”
“No, you don't remember, I told you? Draven’s with your mother”
“Oh, good. Oh, that's nice. That's good.” She paused looking down since she was sitting up and then looked back up, “Chester? Are you afraid I'll hurt him?”
“No.”
“Are you sure? I mean, we could lock the door.”
“You want me to lock you in?” Chester asked.
“No, no” she said shaking her head.
“Ok”
“I don't know. No. I just -- I don't know. It's all mixed up. I just don't want Draven to see me --”
“Ok, you know what we're going to do?” he asked talking over her getting her to stop rumbling on.
“Like this”
“I know, I know. You know what we're going to do? I'm going to tell Draven that you're resting, ok. He’ll be at your mom’s until your better. You think you can sleep? Because it'll be good for you. Huh?” he said/asked her.
“I don't know. I don't know, I just -- it's just all mixed up. You know, I don't know what's real and what's not or what's just in my head.”
“I know, I know. Listen to me, ok? You just go ahead and tell me what you want”
“I don't want to go to a mental hospital”
“You think -- you think I'd send you there after the way you saved my life?”
“You remember that, don't you?” She asked.
“Every second.” Even if it was painful to do he did.
“Me, too. You cried like a baby. And I held you in my arms” she said reminiscing.
“I was scared”
“I know. You know, you told me things, how you felt. And I'll never -- I'll never forget that, till the day I die. You told me you were afraid of losing yourself. That you would disappear into a black, bottomless pit. That you were angry. And you were -- you wanted to hurt the people that cared about you. And you told me -- oh, ***, that when you felt out of control, you felt free”
“And that's how you felt, right, downstairs with Talinda, like you can say, do anything, and nobody can touch you, huh?” he asked.
“Hmm. You told me. I never really understood it until now. You cried like a little boy. And I held on to you for dear life”
“You were my anchor, ok? Now it's my turn”

After Talinda and Rob pulled up to Chester's they both got out and walked up to the door hand in hand. Once they got up to the door they walked in and Rob closed the door, “Chester?” he called out.
“I’m here” he said just walking down the small step and then walked over to them, “I’m sorry about earlier today with Sam, Talinda” Chester said.
“It’s okay. It’s not your fault” she said and looked at Rob then looking back at Chester, “Actually Chester, Rob and I didn’t come here just to talk about Sam. We also came to talk to you about something…else” Talinda said.
Chester just stood there looking at them. Lowering his eyes he then noticed their hands were still intertwined. Then he shrugged his shoulders, “So you guys are dating? That's what you wanted to tell me?”
“Uh…yeah, that’s what we wanted to tell you…no, actually that wasn’t what I wanted to tell you” Rob paused a little, “I’m just going to get it out in the open. I slept with Talinda when we stopped in New York while we were on tour…your not mad at that, are you?”
“Mad? No!” he said. Then there was silence in the room and after a minute or so Chester spoke up again, “Is the baby yours, Rob?”
“I’m not sure if Rob is the father” Talinda said.
“Oh, because Matthew could also be the father?” Chester asked her.
“Yeah.”
“And all along Sam’s been thinking that I got you pregnant” he said letting out an uncomfortable laugh and then walked over to the couch and sat down.
Talinda followed him and sat next to him, “Sam isn’t thinking things out straight. I know she doesn’t mean to hurt anyone.”
Chester nodded, “I know. I’m just scared for Sam.”
“Chester, you're not the one who caused this to happen” Rob said.
“I know. Your right, I didn’t, but everything was going fine. We just gotten back together and were planning to get married again”
“Chester, you need to see Sam through this. A hospital could help her --”
“Absolutely not. Sam’s not going to a mental hospital” he said.
“I know you don’t, but what happens when you can’t care for her anymore?” Talinda asked.
“Once Sam is better, we then can move on to getting married again, like we planned on doing before this happened”
“Chester, what if she never gets better?”
“I’m not going to talk about that. She’s going to get better. I just know it”
“Okay. I’m not going to tell you want to do, but if you ever do need help just let me know and I’ll help you” Talinda said.
“Thanks” he said and then got up, “You guys want anything to drink?”
“I’ll just have water” Talinda said.
“Rob?”
“Whatever you get I’ll have too”
“Okay”
Chester then left to get the drinks. While he was getting them Talinda and Rob moved out onto the patio. Chester come out to the patio and handed them their drinks and then sat down on one of the patio chairs.
“How is Draven doing?” Talinda asked.
“Okay. He’s staying at Sam’s mom’s house. All that he knows right now is that Sam’s sick and that he staying with his grandmother so that he doesn't get sick.”
A half an hour of just talking about other stuff, Chester went back inside to check on Sam and see if she was okay. About seven minutes of being gone he came back outside.
“Sam’s gone. She’s not in her bed. I’ve got to fine her before something happens to her”
“Are you sure she’s not somewhere in the house?” Rob asked getting up, “If you’re sure I’ll go back to Talinda’s house and see if she went there” he said.
“I’ll go and see if she’s anywhere around her mom’s house” Talinda said getting up also.
“Thanks. I’ll just stay here and see if she comes back here.”
“She’ll probably go someplace where she feels safe Chester, so obviously she’ll come back here.”
“I thought I was making her safe here. Listen if you guys find her call me and I’ll come and get her” Chester said.
“Okay” both Rob and Talinda said. They then walked over to Talinda’s car since Rob and she came together. Once they got in Talinda drove to her house and let Rob get out so he could stay there in case Sam came over to her house. After Rob got into the house, Talinda then drove off to Lily’s. Pulling up to the curb she parked her car and got out. Walking up to Lily’s door she rang the door bell.
“Talinda, have you seen Sam?” she asked her the minute she saw that it was Talinda.
“You saw Sam?”
“Yeah, she came over asking me not to send her back to Chester's because he doesn’t love her and that he still loves you. Then she started saying that you were her best friend Sandra. Is that true? Are you Sandra Grace?” she said/asked.
“Yes, I’m Sandra”
“Oh my ***! It’s true. Melinda was right. You didn’t die” she said talking about Talinda’s mom since her mom told Lily that Talinda didn’t die in the accident.
“Lily, do you know where Sam is now?”
“No, she ran away from me before I got the chance to talk to her more”
“Do you know where she might have gone?”
“I was hoping you would have known” she said.
“No I don’t. Me, Chester and Rob are looking for her”
“Chester told me he was looking after her. How the **** did she get away from him?”
“I’m not sure Lily -- You know your daughter, do you know where she would go?” Talinda asked her.
“I know that she would want to be with Chester”
“Chester thinks she would come back to their house”
“Well I hope she does and when she does or if you guys fine her let me know”
“I will Lily” Talinda said.
After that, Talinda walked back to her car and drove back to Chester's. When she got back there she walked into Chester’s house and saw that he was coming down the small steps that lead into the living room and saw that he just got off the phone.
“That was Rob. He said that Sam hasn’t come to your house. Where you able to find her?” he asked walking up to her.
“No, I didn’t, but Lily saw her and said that she ran away from her before she could keep her there long”
Chester sighed, “Does Lily know where she went to?”
“No. She hopes that she’ll come back to you”
“Okay I’m going to call the rest of the guys, see if they seen her. I’ll be back” he said walking out of the room. Talinda sat down on one of the couchs and tried to think of were else Sam would have gone when something hit her.
“Home” she said to herself. She got up and went into his kitchen finding a pen and a paper and wrote Chester a note.
Chester,
I may know where Sam went.
I'll call you if I see her.
Talinda
Once she finished writing the note, she grabbed it and walked out of the kitchen setting it down on the dining table and walked out of his house. She got in her car and drove off to the LAX airport. When she got there she parked her car in the short-term parking lot and walked into the airport and up to one of the ticket desks “Could I have a one-way ticket for the next flight out to Phoenix, Arizona”
“Sure” the lady said and typed something on the computer, “The next flight will be leaving in twenty minutes”
“I’ll take it” she said. After paying for the ticket, she walked over to go to the security check points and went threw them. After going through it she then made her way to the boarding gate. When she got to the gate, the plane was already boarding so she got the ticket ready and showed them to the ticket person and boarded the plane. A couple hours later, the plane landed at Sky Harbor International and she got off and walked over to the sitting area and pulled her cell phone out. She dialed her home number hoping that Rob would pick up.
“Hello?”
“Hey Rob, I know where Sam is. Can you try and get the next flight out to come to Phoenix and meet me at Greenway High School once you get here”
“Sure I’ll get there as soon as I can. Are you already there?” he asked.
“Yeah I just got here”
“Okay I’ll see you soon” he said as they both hung up. Talinda then walked over to the car rental desk and rented a car. Once she got the car, she walked out of the airport and over to the car. She then got in and drove to her and Sam’s old high school.

After Talinda and Rob pulled up to Chester's they both got out and walked up to the door hand in hand. Once they got up to the door they walked in and Rob closed the door, “Chester?” he called out.
“I’m here” he said just walking down the small step and then walked over to them, “I’m sorry about earlier today with Sam, Talinda” Chester said.
“It’s okay. It’s not your fault” she said and looked at Rob then looking back at Chester, “Actually Chester, Rob and I didn’t come here just to talk about Sam. We also came to talk to you about something…else” Talinda said.
