Starts with Goodbye
Chapter One: Starts with Goodbye
A/N:Sam is tired of waiting for Jason to love her back, so she decides to leave him and move on with her life.
Sam had her bags packed, and was sitting on the couch in the living. It was 3:30 in the morning, and was waiting for Jason to come home. She was looking through a photo album with pictures of the 'happy' couple, and saw how they came to be 3 years later. A happy couple, now with lies, pain, and heartbreak. A tear fell upon her cheek. She didn't know how they came to this. How 3 years ago she and Jason were unbreakable, but now it seems like everything is trying to break them apart, and they're losing the battle.
The door finally opened, and Jason quietly walked into the apartment, thinking that Sam was sleeping. Sam looked at Jason sadly, until Jason's eyes met hers.
"Sam…I thought you were sleeping." Jason said.
"You know I was up thinking about us." She paused and put the album away. "How we used to be this happy couple, and we were going to get married. Then we broke up, but found our way back to each other. You know, it's kinda like a story. And I guess it's not gonna have a happy ending." Sam stopped and looked at him with tears in her eyes. Jason looked at her confused, and his eyes caught her packed bags, finally realizing what she was saying.
"Sam…"
"Jason, I know it's been difficult for you lately, with losing Alan and giving up Jake. I feel like I've been keeping you close to me to protect you from all of that. Like I'm hanging onto the two of us for you, not for me."
"I'm sorry I slept with Elizabeth. I should have told you abut Jake." Jason said desperately.
"It's not about that, Jason. It's not. I mean I thought that it was, but this is not about her, or your baby." She said walking towards him. Jason sat in his chair at his desk, and Sam sat on the desk in front of him. "This is about me. I love you Jason." Jason smiled at her, implying that he feels the same. "And I probably always will. But we go days without talking or even seeing each other. And I used to miss you so much when that happened. But it never seemed like you missed me. And I guess because of it I stopped missing you." Jason's smile faded, and looked away. "I mean look back. You didn't even trust me enough to tell me that you had a baby with another woman. I should have noticed. I mean I'd always see you talking to Elizabeth. Opening up to her. Laughing with her. That used to break my heart. And it shouldn't be like this. It shouldn't be this hard."
"Sam…"
"I'm sorry. I can't do this anymore."
Jason looked at her speechless. He knew this was coming, he just didn't know how to react. Or what to say. Sam leaned in and kissed him. She stood up, and got her bags, and made her way to the door.
"Sam…" he paused and Sam looked at him tiredly, wondering what else could be said. "I'm sorry."
"Yeah, me too." Sam said sadly, and left the apartment.
Sam walked out on the relationship, and walked out on the man she loved. She stood in the elevator crying, not believing that she was finally free. Free from heartbreak, pain, tears, and finally free from fear.
