Chapter One

"Ok Baby Girl," Sam McCall said to her crying three-month old daughter, Melanie, "We'll take a break for breakfast."

She stopped at the closest park bench and lifted her daughter out of the stroller and Sam sat down with baby and bottle in hand. She looked out at the rising sun and back at her beautiful Melanie, as she thought back to almost a year ago…

Sam had been working at Fusion a little over a year alongside her best friends, Greenlee Lavery and Kendall Hart, the soon to be Mrs. Devane. It was late and every one had gone home, except for Sam. She was what Kendall called a "workaholic". Sam was always at work. Sam's excuse was she was dedicated to her job. Just as she was getting ready to go and file a bunch of papers, she heard the elevator doors opened and saw Jonathon Lavery, Greenlee's brother-in-law, coming out of it.


"Hey Jonathon, what are you doing here so late? Isn't Maggie at home waiting for you?" Sam asked.


"I just forgot to get something," was all Jonathon said.


Thinking nothing of it, Sam went back to filing that is until she felt a hand on her butt. She turned around to see Jonathon smiling at her. Sam gave him a disgusted look and went to walk off, not wanting to deal with the junk Jonathon seemed to always be causing with her. But as she was about to walk off, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her towards him, way to close for Sam's liking.


"Sammie Girl, come on, we both know you want me," Jonathon whispered.


"Get off of me you Bastard!" Sam screamed, "You're just a disgusting pig!"


That only made Jonathon angry and he slapped her alongside the face and threw her to the floor, Sam screamed trying to fight him off of her but nothing worked. No one heard her screams and plea for help…

Sam was pulled back in to reality as she felt Melanie squirm in her arms and begin to fuss. Sam gently rocked Melanie back and forth, all the while telling her daughter how much she loved her and would always protect her from her father.
After a bit, Melanie fell asleep. Sam stood up and gently laid her sleeping baby in the stroller. But instead of continuing her morning walk, Sam sat back on the bench and began to cry. Thinking about how much she loved her daughter and how much it would kill her to lose him to her bastard of a father. Melanie was her world, without her, Sam couldn't have begun to recover from that horrific night. He never found out about the pregnancy, because after that night, Sam went and packed some clothes and left Pine Valley behind her. She didn't even say goodbye to Greenlee or Kendall. She just wanted out. Sam also knew that if Jonathon ever found out about Melanie, Sam could lose her, and that was something Sam couldn't handle.

By now, the tears were coming uncontrollably. Sam buried her face in her hands, not realizing someone sat down on the bench next to her, "Excuse me? Miss, are you okay?" the voice said.

Sam looked up, recognizing that voice, "Carly?"

Carly looked at Sam, "Sam? Sam McCall?"

Sam smiled, wiping the tears from her eyes, "Yeah Carly, it's me!"
