Sam lay curled up in a ball on the floor. “Sam” Lisa said gently touching her shoulder. There was no response other than the muffled sobbing which emanated from behind Sam’s hands which remained tightly pressed against her face. “I’m here for you Sam if you want to talk” Lisa said kneeling next to her friend. “I’m only a hoar. Peter didn’t say it but thats what he thinks. I am nothing Lisa. Don’t waste your time on me” Sam said between huge wretching sobs which convulsed her slender frame. Lisa gathered Sam up in her arms. She was so light Lisa thought compassion for Sam rising in her.
Lisa sat on the sofa cradling Sam in her arms. “You matter Sam. You are a sweet girl who has been horrifically abused. You aren’t a hoar. Your Samantha a precious human being who needs help”, Lisa said. “I wish you haden’t found me. I wanted to take those tablets and die. Why did you interfere?” Sam said giving way to a fresh flood of tears. “You are important Sam. Your father loves you (I know that because of the loving way in which you speak about him). Peter is very hurt but his pain comes from the deep feelings he has for you. I’ve known Peter for a long time, trust me Sam he cares and given time I think that he will return to you. You have so much to live for Sam. Once this is over I’ll help you to find a therapist. Christ you have been raped and terribly abused its not surprising that you feel like you do”. “I lied to Peter Lisa, I’m a liar” Sam said turning her tear stained face to Lisa. “You where (you are) terrified of Barry Sam. People lie and do other things which go against their conscience when they are in fear for their lives”. Sam took Lisa’s right hand in her’s and squeezed it tight. She didn’t speak but the pressure of her fingers told Lisa that her words where getting through to her friend. “I’ll stay with you tonight Sam and in the morning I’ll come with you to the police”. “But what about Mark? I’ll be OK Lisa. I feel much better now. I’m not going to”, Sam paused, “do anything silly” she said eventually. “Mark is fine. I’m staying Sam. No ifs, no buts” Lisa said. She smiled as she spoke but Sam could see the steely determination behind the smile, Lisa wasn’t going anywhere.
Lisa glanced at her watch, “Gosh its only just gone 10 but I’m absolutely worn out”. “Me to. There is only one bed but I can sleep on the floor. I’ll be fine with a couple of pillows and my old quilt”. “We can top and tail” Lisa said. “Really I haven’t done that since I stayed over at friends during my school days” Sam replied the ghost of a smile flitting across her face.
“Do you mind which end of the bed you sleep at?” Sam said leading the way into her bedroom. “No you choose” Lisa said. So exhausted where the girls that both fell asleep soon after their heads touched the pillow.
