It has been a while (years actually) since I have posted a story. School got in the way and then the story line on GH did not spark any inspiration. I guess it took Sam to marry Drew to light some fire in my writing abilities! Let's just say, I am not thrilled with the way the writers are taking the story, so this is my alternative idea/ending. I hope all the OG JaSam fans like this chapter. Please comment!

Decisions - Chapter 2
.
.
Sam made it to the garage and found an old go bag in her car from her P.I. days. She changed in the car and drove off in a hurry. She parked her car at the Floating Rib and walked to the footbridge so fast that she didn't even realize that Jason was sitting there. She tripped over his foot but he was able to catch her.
Sam knew the moment that she was caught that it was Jason's arms around her. She wanted so bad to just be held by him but felt it was a betrayal to Drew so she stood up quickly and turned her back to him. "I couldn't do it. I had the dress on and was walking down the stairs and I ran. I love him, but I can't live with letting you down".
Jason stood up and waited for her to stop talking. When she did he knew trying to tell her he was okay with it would be a lie and he didn't want to lie to her. Instead he reached out and took a hold of her hand. He caressed her hand and walked up right next to her "I love you too and I will never stop"
Sam looked at him. She didn't pull away from his hand. Instead she gripped harder on his and looked at the river. Sam and Jason stood hand in hand in silence for twenty minutes. Neither of them wanted to end it.
Sam stated "I should call Danny, I think I scared him. I just ran and didn't even look at him."
Jason stated "If he's any bit as strong as you are, I'm sure he is fine."
Sam smiled "He's actually a lot like you, observant, inquisitive and yeah he is strong like me"
"I missed your smile and your laugh" Jason said letting go of her hand and facing towards her "I'm happy your tripped over me tonight"
Sam looked down "I don't know what to do next or where to go". Just as she finished speaking Jason's phone started ringing. He showed her the caller ID. "Carly? I'm sure she heard of my big scene and is jumping for joy...go ahead and get that I need to go back to the bar and call my mom."
Jason answered his phone...Carly started yelling "I heard Sam couldn't do it. She ran and I know she is with you. I got a call from Alexis asking me to give Sam a message if I saw her"
Jason touched Sam's shoulder just as she started to walk away and mouthed for her to wait. "Why do you assume Sam is with me?" Sam's eyes got wide and stepped closer to hear the conversation.
Carly started in again: "Because I know you two. Your bond is unbreakable. Plus you didn't deny it. Anyway I don't want to argue with you for once. Tell Sam that Danny is at Monica's and Scout is with Alexis. Alexis also told me to tell Sam to take her time and figure things out and there is a bag of stuff for her at Monica's so she doesn't have to go back to the penthouse to see Drew."
"Okay" stated Jason to Carly and hung up. He then looked at Sam "I know you need time to think. But I have my bike if you needed some thrill"
"I do need time. And thrill sounds nice, but so does a nap" Sam laughed
"I'll let you have your space. Let me know if you need anything"
"Actually, can you do me a favor?"
"Anything" Jason replied
Can you sneak into Monica's and grab my stuff? Then drop it off to me at the Floating Rib? I can't see Danny tonight but I really need some different boots."
"I like those boots" Jason grinned and laughed "yes, I'll break in and steal something for you"
"I owe you one" Sam smiled and started walking back to her car.
-45 minutes later-
Jason walked up to Sam's car and saw her sleeping inside. He gently knocked on the door and waved at her. Sam unlocked the door and open it toward Jason. "Took you long enough"
"I saw Danny sleeping and got side tracked. It made me think of all the moments I missed."
"Did you get caught?" Sam asked with a sheepish grin
"No, never" he winked "Where are you going tonight? Alexis' house?"
"I haven't decided yet." She laughed "I just want to be alone tonight. Maybe Carly can get me a room at the Metro Court?"
"Do you want me to call her? That way you don't have to explain yourself? I can drive you over too...If you want."
"I appreciate you wanting to help me. I really do."
"But" Jason interjected
"But, I need to stand on my own two feet. I need to figure out where to go from here"
"I hope you figure out what you need to. I only want you to be happy"
"Stop being so noble for once in your life, Jason. Say what you really want"
"I want my life back. I want you to be my wife and to have Danny call me dad. I don't want you to feel bad for me and do something just to make me happy. You do what is best for Danny and Emily."
"Danny does call you dad. He wants to see you and know you. Why would you ever think I would keep you from him. You are amazing and I want Danny to know you and love you." She started to get teary eyed
"Sam" Jason said when he saw she was upset
Sam started to cry "Why did this happen? If I wish to go back in time, I would't have Emily Scout. I can't wish that, because that little girl is the light of my life".
"I know."
"Why do you have to always be so understanding" Sam laughed through her tears
"Are you okay to drive?" Jason asked
"I will wait a little bit and then call Carly" Sam said
"Okay, let me know if you need anything" Jason said and started to walk away
"Hey Jason. Go over to the Quartermaine's tomorrow at 8:00AM. Come hungry"
"Are you going to tell me anything more?"
"No, its a surprise. Just show up on time" Sam smiled
"Okay" Jason smiled "Goodnight Sam"
