The Video

I've been waiting for Sam to come for 20 minutes already and I'm starting to get impatient about it! She made me come here and she isn't even here yet!

Well, I'm somewhat happy that I am here because I can prepare myself from the scolding and lecture I'm pretty sure I'll get later when I go home. The thought about it made me really exhausted and it hasn't started yet.

I don't know what I would expect later, I just wished that it's not that heavy though I mean my brother Jonathan can be very scary and I mean really scary!

I'm still scrolling through my phone when I noticed a notification. I got curious so I checked it, also because I saw Sam's name on it, so I clicked it and what I saw was way worse than mine. It was the incident in the school's cafeteria.

It was a video of what happened, Sam hurting the other girl, but I can tell she's defending her friend but the others that are watching this video says otherwise.The comments were brutal and completely bias.

"What the heck! How could that girl beat someone like that? The poor girl, that other girl is crazy!"

"Haha Woah, girl fight. That's hot."

"Isn't that girl being beaten up is Amanda Lloren? Wow, the nerve of that other girl beating up Amanda like that, poor Amanda."

"Someone should tell that girl who she's messing with! She is crazy beating up innocent Amanda!"

"Woah that girl is the Samantha Rodriguez!"

"No wonder she's like that! She grew up in a broken family, parents are separated. So she's taking out her anger on the innocent people! She should be ashamed of herself."

"She's a psychopath for sure! What would her parents say! oh wait, maybe by now her parents already disowned her for what she did. Serves her right!"

When I read the last comment I blew up in anger and threw my phone on the table in front of me. How could they say that about her when they didn't even know the whole thing! and how could they say mean and stupid things about Sam and her parents and her life?

I could feel my blood boiling in anger about it! How can people be so judgmental and be so fucking biased! I hate it! I completely do.

I could feel my anger still rising up but then it dropped, it dropped because of one thought that popped in my mind, Sam.

I thought about what Sam is doing. If she already saw the video and the comments, what if she did!

"FUCK!" I was worried and angry at the same time. Those people, if something bad happens to Sam, they will pay for all those stupid and judgmental things they said about her!

Sam is more than a cousin to me, she's like a little sister to me and I will do anything for her and protect her with every bad and stupid thing life brings to her! She's not perfect, she might be tough like what she is showing but she is 100% fragile that one word can create cracks to her and breaks her.

She suffered enough and I don't want her suffering again! No more, I won't allow it.

Suddenly, I heard a door slammed opened and I can hear loud sobs, it was Sam's sobs. She was crying and I got more furious.

"Sammy?" I approached her trying to make her face me but when I did I was met with red puffy eyes and unending tears falling down from it. If before I was furious now all I can feel is sadness, sadness from her that I felt.

I could see another crack in her, a crack that continued cracking her and then she hugged me so tight and cried loudly in my chest. I could feel her breaking and I don't want her to break.

I closed my eyes trying my best to suppress the anger I'm feeling. I know being angry won't help right now. My soft, fragile cousin needs me, Sam needs me so I have decided.

I lift her up bridal style and made my way upstairs to her room. In the corner of my eyes, I saw the maids especially Mr. Drew with a worried look.

I told them that everything is fine and told Mr. Drew to prepare and he understood. After assuring them that everything is fine, well it isn't but I know what to do. I went straight to Sammy's room.

I whispered to her that I will put her down on her bed, so I did. now she is sitting at the end of her bed when she grabbed me, both her arms wrapped around my neck.

"P-Please, stay," she said it between her loud sobs and it broke my heart seeing her like this. I patted comforting circles in her back while I'm kneeling so that it won't be uncomfortable.

The last time she's like this is when we were still kids, when aunt Molly and uncle Jerry, her parents, decided to have a divorce. Sam run away and went to our house, I was nine and she was eight.

That time I didn't know what to do, but she clanged on me like our position right now and cried, she cried her heart out. Jonathan and Chris were still finishing their studies back then, both in college but still, they took care of me.

They found out about what happened and decided for Sam to stay at our place and she never let go of me and never stopped crying. Back then I have no idea what to do, but now I know.

"Hey, it's okay. I'm here, I'm here so everything will be fine, okay?"
