Samsie- I'm Worried

Every morning, Susie starts her day with a smile, ready to have a good day to be with her co-workers and Sammy. But for the past few days something seemed off with the actress.

It all started Saturday, and as the rest of the crew we’re drinking coffee. When Susie came in everyone was shocked seeing the actress with bags in her eyes and looking upset.

“Susie? Are you okay?” Sammy asked going to her. Susie said nothing and went to her booth.

Sammy was worried he never seen Susie this upset before. Joey and Wally looked at each other as well feeling worried for the actress. He couldn’t just stand there, so he caught up with her. “Susie is everything okay?” He asked again.

Susie said nothing and looked down, Sammy swore he saw tears fall from her eyes. Sammy tried to reach for her, but she closed the door to her quarters of the studio.

Throughout the week, the only time Susie smiled is when she did her voice worked, but Sammy knew the smile was a lie. She would still sit with Sammy during breaks, but she would never speak to him except for small words like “Its fine,” or “I’m ok.”

But she wasn’t.

Susie knew.

Sammy knew. But he couldn’t do anything. Susie was just keeping this all to herself.

Now it was Friday, and Susie hasn’t come into work. This made the music director bothered even more as he put together her behavior and her absence. “Joey.” Sammy said.

“Let me guess check up on Susie?” Joey asked not looking up from the paper.

Sammy stood their surprised. “Y-Yeah how did you know?” He questioned on how his boss knew.

“Look.” Joey said putting the paper down. “I’m worried for her too, I tired talking to her too, but she didn’t say anything too.” He explained. Joey went to the drawer and pulled out a piece of paper. “Here is her address.”

Sammy took the paper from his boss and bolted out the studio, but before he can run to her house he saw Susie on the bench at the park near the studio. Sammy walked over to Susie, who the later refused to look up.

“Why aren’t you at work?” Sammy asked.

Susie still looked down, but she finally spoke to him. “I don’t know. I just don’t want to go today.”

Sammy sighed and lifted Susie’s head to see bags under her eyes, along with her eyes being red and stains of tears on her cheeks. “Susie, for the past week, you’ve been feeling down and not telling anyone anything. Please I hate seeing you like this.” He begged. Now Sammy was starting to tear up.

Susie sniffled and hugged Sammy tight bawling all the emotions she was holding in. Sammy held Susie tight rubbing her back as she cried. It didn’t matter if he stayed here and not go back to work.

Susie needed him.

After what felt like hours, Susie stopped crying and wiped her eyes facing Sammy. “Okay. I can talk now.” Susie sniffled. “If you know what’s been going on, I haven’t been sleeping well lately.”

“Nightmares?” Sammy asked raising a brow.

Susie nodded. “Yeah, remember Eddie?” She asked.

Sammy growled remembering the asshole jerk that abused Susie before she worked at the studio. However, he came back and tried to get Susie back, luckily she, along with Norman and Henry, kicked the asshole out of the building.

“How can I not.” He growled.

“Well I’ve been having nightmares about him for the past couple of days, and,” she stopped to take a breather, “most of them involve you, and something bad happens to you.” She explained.

Sammy hugged Susie tight rubbing her back more. “Oh Susie, their just dreams. Whatever happened in your dreams is not going to happen.” He explained rubbing her back.

“B-But what if it does! What if Eddie comes back, and hurts you, or Henry, or Wally, or-” Susie got cut off when Sammy put his lips against hers. Susie was in shock, and decided to kiss Sammy back as the tears rolled from her eyes.

Sammy let go and looked at Susie. “Susie, calm down. Your fine.” He reassured creasing her cheek. “Like I said, it was just a dream, your going to be okay.” Sammy said.

After a long time, Susie smiled back. Sammy smiled missing her sweet smile. Susie hugged and snuggles against Sammy’s chest smiling that she’s with him. Sammy smiled and hugged her back sighing seeing everything is okay.

Everything will be all right.

After comforting Susie they went back to the studio, but they took it easy. Susie explained everything to Joey and Alice, and they decided to give Susie a small break today. Even though she wasn’t working she decided to stay at the studio just to help out and to be with Sammy.

Speaking of Sammy. Sammy invited Susie at night to his apartment have a drink of wine to cheer her up.

“How is it?” Sammy asked.

Susie put her wine glass down and looked at Sammy. “Its great. Thanks for doing this, um, date for me.” She said.

Sammy chuckled. “No problem.” He said.

Susie smiled and took a sip of her wine smiling at the one man who would never leave her side.
