Chapter 13 - A Surprise for Mom

"You're pretty good," Elle said and smirked at me

MONTHS LATER... (JUNE 16)

AT THE SHAY'S MANSION

Beck's POV

We're in the living room watching movies on Netflix and realized it's already June

"It's already JUNE! There's three days before Sam's birthday" I said to them

"Yeah, we still didn't found Samantha, what is she doing in that place, where she lived now? She is not in her house in Seattle, the principal of her school said that she transferred to a different school but didn't say, Who, Where, How," Dad said

"Dad, does mom had a project in Seattle?" I asked

"Yes, She had and that's very important to us" Dad replied

"Are you sure? 'Cause she's been going there all the time, going home one week every month" Spencer said

"Yes, every time she had a project, she always let me know and both of us had to decide before accepting it"

"How about we surprise mom?" Andre said

"S-Sur-Surprise?!" Dad replied nervously

"Is there anything wrong?" I asked

"No, It's just... I'm envious of your mother" Dad replied

"Yeah, we don't have any work this week so... Let's go?" Andre said

"Sure!" we replied

"And how are we gonna get there?" Andre asked

"Man, we have a private plane remember?" Spencer said

"Oh, yeah I forgot"

Dad's POV

I let the boys go to their rooms while I went outside to call my wife

"Hello? My love?"

"Yes, it's me, Why do you call? Is there anything wrong in the house?"

"No, they're going there"

"Who?" She asked

"Our sons! They're about to surprise you So, go to the five-star hotel where you usually lived when you're going there alone and let Sam know"

"Okay, and when are they going here?"

"Today"

"Okay, the average flight time from there to here is 2 hours and 54 minutes, I'll let her know"

"Ok, bye and take of you two, I love you"

"I love you too"

AT SAM'S APARTMENT

Sam's POV

"Sam?" Mom called me

"Yes?" I responded

"I'm going to a hotel" Mom said

"Can I come?"

"Your brothers are going here in Seattle, Your Dad sai-"

"Dad? Said? When? How?"

"Yes, yes, today, he called me"

"If it's a surprise why would dad let you know about it?"

"I'm here and I lived with you... And I told your father about this"

"You told father?"

"Yes"

"He must be suffering on answering the questions from my brothers"

"Yeah... And he's with them and it's not hard to answer those questions even we don't expect that they're questioning those things"

"Poor dad, he's suffering there..."

"So, I'm packing my things, and move to a hotel"

"Why now?"

"They're riding on our private plane, Sam and we don't know when they left"

"Okay, we'll talk on the phone..."

After talking, Mom straightly head to her room and pack some of her stuff

I head to mom's room and said...

"Mom, I'm so sorry"

"About what?" She asked

"For this, and everything, you both suffered and help me make our boys getting along even their girlfriends can't stop them and if they can they all go outside and start fighting"

"It's not your fault, Sam... You're just trying to make your brothers love each other... I know that they're old now but they're acting like a child"

"Like a 6-year-old, uneducated kid," I said

We both laughed

"Sam!" Mom shouted while laughing

"What?" I replied

Mom hugged me

"Take care while I'm not here"

"Yes mom"

"Bye, see you," Mom said and kissed my forehead

I accompanied Mom outside and watched her going away with her car

It's already 3 hours later and I think they already surprise mom at the hotel... Popping champagne and celebrating as they found me... I didn't expect hiding could be this hard and I'm thankful that Mom and Dad were there to help and guide me to make my brothers be one like before again

AT THE HOTEL BLOOMS

MOM'S POV

KNOCK! KNOCK!

"Who's there?"

The door opened...

"Surprise!" The boys said

"Boys! I didn't know you're here!" I said

"We just wanna surprise you since you come home 1 week a month! And we missed our girls" Spencer said

"Thank you, dear," I said

"Honey, can we talk?" My husband asked

"Yes"

"Mom, Dad, let's go have lunch downstairs," Spencer said

"You boys go first, we'll catch up" My husband replied

"Is there anything wrong?" Daniel asked

"No, everything is alright, except Sam, your mother and I have something to talk" Dad replied

"Okay, then... We'll see you both downstairs" Daniel said

I waved at the boys... So I and my husband left inside the room

"Is my girl okay?" My husband asked me

"Yes, she is... She's doing well at school" I replied

"Can I see her as well?" he asked

"Yes you can but without our boys... They have to get along" I replied

"They're getting along already... It's just that they like to fight or arguing..."

I looked at him while one of my brows raised

"A little bit" He added and did the 'little bit' gesture

"Whatever, the boys will have to get along before the year ends, or else..."

"Else, what?" He asked

"Weee celebrate the Christmas, just me and Sam?" I said awkwardly

"Surprise them?" He asked

"Well, yes" I replied

"We can't just celebrate Christmas without the family completed, but this thing that sam did, it's a little bit complicated and..."

"And what?" He asked

"Hard" I whispered

"Sam's birthday is in three days," He said

"I know" I replied

We are a little bit frightened when the door slowly opened

"Aren't you both gonna go down?" Daniell asked

"We're going" I replied

My husband patted my back and put his arms on my shoulders as we walk to the downstairs

AT SAM'S STUDIO APARTMENT

SAM'S POV

DING!

It's mom

Mom: "Your brothers are here, we're just going down to have some lunch. You know how to cook sweetie, don't make yourself hungry"

Me: "Okay, mom"

Guess I have to cook and treat myself...

I run to the kitchen and skipping, dancing like no one is watching

What should I cook today? hmm... mac and cheese, spaghetti and meatballs, chicken fillet, fried chicken?

Just deciding what to eat makes me hungry more

fried chicken should do the trick

I walked and open the fridge and realized...

"I have no chickens!"

"I should write on my 'to-do list' so I can track down my activities in this house"

-- My to-do list --

- Buy groceries

- Clean the house

- Study!

"And the first thing to do is 'Buy groceries'!"

AT THE GROCERY STORE

What should we buy? Oh, chickens!

But where are the chickens? I already forgot where it is, I used to buy it in the mall but since this is near to my house, I'm going in

"Excuse me, Can I ask?" I asked the man

"Wait... Are you... Samantha Shay?"

Here we go again

"No, I'm not... and why are you saying that I'm that girl?" I asked

"I follow Daniel Shay on Instagram he's so hot!"

I'm wrong, he is gay not men

"And?"

"He posts a picture of her sister I mean you and asking for help"

What?!

"I'm a little bit jealous of you. But how can I help you?"

"Where can I find the chickens?"

"At the back"

"Okay, thanks"

AT SAM'S STUDIO APARTMENT

"Finally, I'm home, Well not really home but I'm back in my apartment"

"So sorry, chickens but I'm going to eat you"

1 HOUR LATER...

"I'm so happy that I know how to take care of my self"

And three days to go it's my 16th birthday!
