Prologue
Sam woke up startled, hoping what happened yesterday was just a dream. But as she looked around the room and found no one there, she knew it wasn't. She felt tears prick her eyes and tried to fight them back, but she was too weak. She felt one break free and before she knew it streams were flowing down her face. She wiped them away but they wouldn't stop. She was glad Alexis, her mother, wasn't here. She would just tell her that Jason was no good for her and that he did the right thing.
When the tears finally stopped she took a deep breath but winced when she felt her wound pull. She sat up in bed and pulled the covers tighter around her. She looked to her left and grabbed the phone. She laid it on her stared down at it. She was tempted to call Jason but she couldn't handle him hanging up on her again. She felt tears prick her eyes again and she finally picked up the phone. She quickly dialed a number she never thought she would use again and waited til they answered.
"Hey it's me," Sam said into the phone as a sob broke free, "I need you."
