A/N: I have been so inspired by GH lately to write a JaSam fic. They're finally handling that relationship the right way. So, this is my stab at a JaSam fic. Just to clerify, I will still update my other stories, including my Journey stories. I love both pairings, and I'm basically just a Jason fan. So, even if I make the other girl look bad in my stories, it's just because I need a villain. I hope you guys like my story, and remember to review. BTW, it gets better after this chapter. I just needed to set it up.

Chapter 1- Misunderstandings

Jason was leaning over the railing, staring at the water at the docks. He had come here to think, as usual. But this time, his thought weren't on the bad; they were on the good. Jason was in love. He had Sam, and he was happy with her. He worried about her though. He didn't want her getting hurt like his girlfriends in the past. He wanted to keep her absolutely safe. As Jason took a deep breath, he heard a voice from behind him.

"Jase?" questioned the voice, and he turned around to see Courtney.

"Hi" he said, feeling a little awkward.

"Hi" she answered, bringing her hand up to brush the hair from her face.

As she did, the moonlight reflected off her engagement ring and wedding band. Jason braced himself for the hurt of seeing her a married woman, but it never came. That was when he realized it- he was completely over Courtney. He didn't want to hold her. He wanted to hold Sam.

"Can we talk?" she asked him.

"Uh, sure" said Jason, unsure of what they had left to talk about.

"I just came to say goodbye" she said.

"Are you going somewhere?" he asked.

"Jax and I, we're leaving. Jax has some business ventures in London, and we both kind of just wanted to get out of Port Charles" she said.

"Oh" he answered, hesitant of what else to say.

Meanwhile, Samantha McCall was taking a walk of her own. She had been under so much pressure lately in her relationship with Jason. Carly was hell bent on not leaving her alone and on getting her out of Jason's life. It was almost too much to bear. Plus, Jason had the most perfect ex-wife, and although she knew she shouldn't feel threatened, she did.

Maybe I don't have the blonde hair you like
Or maybe I don't have eyes like the sky

Sam walked a little farther and she came to the docks. She saw Jason there, and for a second her chocolate brown eyes lit up. But then she realized who he was with. Courtney. Her feet were frozen in the ground and as much as she wanted to run away and not eavesdrop, she found the task impossible.

And I'm not sure if I'm the girl in your dreams
But I can show you what love means

"I loved you so much Jason" Courtney said, brushing back a lock of her golden hair to stare at Jason.

"I loved you too" he said.

"Where'd we go wrong?" she asked him.

"Maybe we just weren't meant to be" he answered.

"I don't believe that for a second. Things were just so complicated for us. And when we had a chance to put ourselves back together, other things just got in the way"

"Or other people" noted Jason.

"Exactly" agreed Courtney, moving closer to Jason on the bench the two were now sitting on together.

Jason reached up and pushed some of Courtney's hair back, just out of habit.

One day you came and talked to me
And you said we are meant to be
I was happy, everything was so nice
But then I found out that everything was a lie

Sam tried to hold back her tears as she watched the two interact. She knew that she would always be second best to Courtney, but she had tried to ignore that nagging feeling. But she knew that she couldn't ignore it anymore. Jason, the man that she loved more than anything, was sitting on the docks, nice and cozy with his ex. It hurt more than Sam had expected it to. God did it hurt.

"I will always love you Jason" said Courtney, tears in her eyes.

Leaning over, she brushed her lips against his, and before long, it had developed into a full on kiss.

How could you do this to me
You said we are meant to be

Sam started to cry, and she couldn't hold back the pain anymore. Her frozen feet worked up the courage to run, and she turned on her heel and took off into the night, unsure of where she was going and not really caring. She didn't have a friend in the world. She was all alone.

You showed me how to cry
When you told me that everything was a lie

Finally collapsing on to the pavement of the sidewalk, Sam just let it all out. Her sobs racked her tiny body, and she just wished that Jason was there to hold her in his arms. But he would never be there for her. He would be too busy holding Courtney in his arms.

Maybe I don't have the blonde hair you like
Or maybe I don't have eyes like the sky
And I'm not sure if I'm the girl in your dreams
But I can show you what love means

Back on the docks, Jason came to his senses and pushed Courtney off of him.

"What the hell was that?" he asked her, backing away from her.

"I'm not sure" she admitted. "I guess I just wanted to say goodbye. Please don't take this the wrong way Jason, I love Jax, and he's my huband" she said.

"And I love Sam. She's the one I want to be with Courtney"

"I'm sorry. Look, let's just not mention this to anyone and forget it ever happened. We'll be out of each other's lives tomorrow anyway. I'll be across an ocean" she said.

"Fine, let's just forget it" he agreed, pulling farther back from her.

"Goodbye Jason" said Courtney as she walked off, turning around only to mutter that cliché of a phrase.

"Goodbye Courtney" he responded, and she walked away from him. Forever.

Jason made his way back to the penthouse, eager to see Sam. Kissing Courtney had made him realize just how much Sam meant to him. As he pushed the door open, he was surprised to find a dark penthouse.

"Sam?" he called, flipping on the light switch.

When he received no answer, he became worried. Walking into the hallway, he asked the guard about her but he said he hadn't seen her all night. Next, Jason tried Sonny and Carly's penthouse, although he knew that she wouldn't be there. She and Carly really didn't get along. It made him so angry when Carly abused Sam. It was bad enough for her to impose on his life, but the way she treated Sam was just unacceptable. He knew that one day he would finally give in and tell Carly off. That was, if he didn't lose Sam to Carly's attempts to get rid of her first.

"Have you seen Sam?" he asked, walking into the penthouse.

"No, I haven't seen the little home-wrecking slut. Maybe you should try every guy's bed in Port Charles" said Carly with a sarcastic smile.

"Carly, just shut up!" Jason yelled before storming out of the penthouse, leaving a shocked Carly behind.

Sam finally picked herself up off of the pavement. Wiping at her eyes, she decided to get a hotel room at the MetroCourt. Sure, it was expensive, but she needed a little pampering. That was when a thought hit her. The MetroCourt Named after Courtney. She couldn't escape that perfect blonde no matter how hard she tried. Deciding instead to get a room above Jake's, Sam made her way over to the shabby bar. The walk wasn't that long, and she really didn't want to spend the money on a cab; so instead, she decided to go by foot, walking along the docks. As she was walking, she felt a hand go over her mouth. Fighting back, she kicked her attacker in the groin. The man got angry and hit her across the face, knocking her to the ground. Sam hit her head on the concrete but managed to stay awake. It was too dark to see the man's face, but she managed to get her foot in it and the man hollered in pain as her stiletto heal made contact with his nose. As he grabbed at his face, she tried to get up and run. But she felt herself being grabbed again as two other guys came up to her, putting a cloth over her face. Sam began to feel herself get weak, and soon, everything went black.
Jason rode around town, looking for any clue of where she could have gone. Jason decided to try Jakes in a feeble attempt to look anywhere that she could be. He couldn't push the thoughts that something bad had happened to her out of his head. As Jason rode along the docks, he saw something in the shadows and he urged the motorcycle to go faster. He gasped at what he saw. Two men were attempting to subdue a woman. Finally, the woman passed out and the men grabbed her and threw her over their shoulders. It only took a second to figure out who the woman was. It was Sam. His Sam. Anger boiled up inside of Jason as he jumped off of the bike and ran at the men, pulling out his gun as he did.

"Drop her" he growled, the anger apparent in his voice.

The men froze at what they saw. Jason Morgan had found them.

"I said drop her" he yelled.

"You really want us to drop her Mr. Morgan?" asked the more forward of the men, a devilish grin on his face. "That's fine" he said, and the men understood.

The man holding her leaned over the railing and dropped Sam into the water.

"No!" Jason called as he watched her unconscious body drop into the water and sink out of sight.

Not caring about anything but saving her, Jason dove into the cold water to retrieve the woman that he loved. It was dark, and he couldn't see much. Pulling his head out from under the water, he looked around in fear. That was when he saw the body bobbing on the surface of the water. Swimming as fast as he could over to her, he picked her up and turned her over so that she was no longer face down. Climbing out of the water proved to be a challenge, but managed to do it and keep her from sustaining any further injuries. Jason wasn't surprised to see that the men had run off, but at the moment he didn't even care. Placing her on the ground, he tried to catch his breath for a second before he started to give her mouth to mouth.

"Come on Sam, dammit" he said, trying to will her back to life.

Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out his cell phone, only to see that it was ruined from being submerged in water. Cursing himself for not pulling off his jacket when he dove in, he continued to give her mouth to mouth, hoping that something would work.

Finally, Jason heard the welcome sound of her cough as she gasped for air.

"Shh, it's ok" he soothed. "It's me, it's Jason. I'm here" he said, brushing her hair off of her face and trying to ignore the huge gash on her head for just a second.

Sam opened her eyes and looked at him.

"Get the hell away from me" she demanded, trying to get up and get away from him, but she found herself too weak.

"Sam, it's ok, it's me" he said, mistaking her anger for fear and confusion.

"Jason, get the hell away from me!" she screamed.

"Sam, what's wrong?" he asked her.

"What's wrong?" she asked. "I guess it's because of the brain damage that you're so slow! Because you know what's wrong Jason! I guess you're just too stupid to realize it!" she yelled.

Her anger slightly faded when she saw the hurt look on his face as she said those terrible things to him. Jason didn't know why she was so mad and as she said what she said to him, his heart broke into a million little pieces.

"Sam, please tell me what's wrong?" he asked, and to Sam's surprise, his voice cracked.

Unable to take the pain anymore, Sam gave up and started crying again. Jason didn't care what she had just said to him as he pulled her into his arms and just held her there.

"I can't. I can't do this Jason!" she yelled, still crying as she jerked away from him.

Finding the strength to get up, she picked herself up and started to run from him. But then she started feeling really dizzy. Trying to get the world to stop spinning, she took a deep breath and started running again.

Jason was about to chase after her when he noticed that she stopped running. She stood there for a moment before she started running again. She had only taken a couple of steps when he saw her start to fall.

"SAM!" he called as he dove to catch her before she hit her head on the pavement. Cradling her body in his arms, he repeatedly called out her name, trying to get her to wake up. Tears sprung to his eyes and he held her tightly to himself, knowing that he needed to get her help. Gathering her in his arms, he stood up and started walking towards his destination. Holding her close to him, trying not to let the tears in his eyes fall.
