Carly walked off the elevator at General Hospital
in her a pair of black silk pants and a deep blue shirt with a cup of
coffee from Kelly's clutched in her hand. She stopped in her tracks
as she saw Elizabeth and Jason sitting in the waiting room talking.
They both turned their attention to her and she just smirked, and
fought back a laugh…barely, and they could tell.
"What's so
funny, Carly?" Elizabeth asked, placing a hand over her stomach
protectively.
"Ok, I'll bite." Carly said, "I know
something you don't know." She sing songed before walking off
laughing. She walked up to her mother who was at the nurse's
station and struck up a conversation.
"Hey mom."
"Hey
honey. What are you doing here?"
"I'm meeting Sam so we can
talk about some things."
"Here?" Bobbie asked
surprised.
"Yeah, we both had places to go this morning and
decided to meet somewhere in the middle. This is it." Carly
explained.
"You and Sam seem to be getting close."
"You
have no idea. She's quickly becoming my bestfriend. We have a lot
in common…like the color black." Carly grinned at the
memory.
"What?" Bonnie asked in confusion.
"You had to be
there." Carly said with a wave of her hand. She caught site of Sam
stepping off of the elevator looking dejected.
"Excuse me."
She told her mom, making her way towards Sam.
"Well," she
asked, holding her breath.
"He figured me out right off of the
back." Sam sighed.
"Oh no." Carly said leaning on one
foot.
"There's more…" Sam said looking up into Carly's
blue eyes before grinning, "He wants to help.
"Shut up!"
Carly said loudly gaining the attention of many around her.
"I
know!" Sam squealed. "Somebody up there," she said pointing up,
"Likes us."
"Well being the…" Carly trailed off,
noticing the eavesdroppers around, "Princesses, we are, we have
connections that big."
"Here here." Sam laughed. Carly
grabbed her hand and began dragging Sam towards the elevator. "Where
are we going?" Sam asked laughing.
"Shopping." Carly said
simply pressing the call button.
"But we've gone shopping. I
have more than enough stuff to wear." Sam protested.
"Maybe,
but this time is different. This time you're shopping for something
to wear out on a date!" Carly grinned. Jason looked up sharply and
looked at the two of them. She had a date? With who? Anger and
jealousy filled his quickly and he tried tramp it down with no
success.
"I think you and Lucky would be good together,
anyway," Carly continued tapping her foot impatiently continuing to
wait for the elevator. "It's kind of like, you're polar
opposites. The policemen and the ex con. Come on. It doesn't get
any more opposite than that."
Lucky? Lucky Spencer? She was
going to go out with the policemen. His mind couldn't seem to wrap
around that concept. Sam…his sexy, kickass, didn't take crap from
anybody, vibrant, girlfriend was going out with… Lucky? He was
getting a headache just trying to grasp that thought.
"I'm
going to go." Jason told Liz. "I'll so you when you get
home."
"Ok," Elizabeth said softly, knowing why Jason was so
out of it. She was surprised too. Sam McCall? High school drop out
trash dating honorable Lucky? That was just too weird. She cleared
her throat and her head. It didn't matter. Because she was quickly
getting everything she wanted. Jason and Jason's baby. And pretty
soon that nice little rock that had been Sam's would be on
Elizabeth's finger. She just had to play her cards right. She
looked back at the threesome at the elevator, which finally opened
its doors. The three of them got in and Sam shot a look at Elizabeth.
A look that clearly said, "We'll see who triumphs in the
end."
And Elizabeth was determined for it to be her.
Right
before the elevator door closed, Carly reopened it. "I just
remembered I needed to ask my mom something. I'll see you
downstairs." She told Sam stepping off. Sam rolled her eyes at the
obvious attempt and sighed, almost giggling. Jason stared straight
forward obviously trying to maintain under control. She could
practically sense the inner battle inside his head from the way he
was standing rigidly and tense. Sam sighed and pressed the elevator
stop button.
"What?" she asked.
"What do you mean," he
asked still not looking at her. She marched up to him and grabbed his
chin, forcing him to look down at her.
"Say it." She
yelled.
"What." He snapped back grabbing her arm, and forcing
it down so he was now holding her wrist between them.
"Say what
you're thinking." She demanded angrily.
"Since you're
such an expert on how I'm feeling, what am I thinking then
Sam."
"Oh, don't pull that crap with me, I know you better
than anyone. You're angry and jealous as hell."
"Why would I
be angry, you're the one who dumped me."
"Because Elizatrash
keeps showing up on the doorstep of OUR home and she won't go away.
God, you slept with her once, and honey, I know you're good but you
must have done something extra special if she keeps showing up and
burdening you with her every freaking problem." Sam said getting
louder with every word. " I don't think you understand how I feel
Jason! I want nothing more that to push her down the stairs and have
a bon fire with Carly with the freaking couch that is sitting in OUR
living room. Oh, I'm sorry, you're and Elizabeth's home
now."
"She has no where else to stay Sam." Jason said still
holding her wrist between them.
"Oh what crap. What about with
her Gram? What about with her supposed bestfriends Emily and Nikolas,
you know, two of the four musketeers?" she asked, quickly becoming
aware of how close they were standing. Jason didn't say anything
and just looked down at her, "Yeah that's what I thought. Until
you tell her exactly where I stand in your life and setting
boundaries with her, I am not going to be your girlfriend or fiancé
or whatever else. But I will be a very strong presence reminding you
everyday of what you lost and what you can have back...under those
terms. Until then, I'm going to date other people and I don't
care how jealous you get or how angry, all that does is let me know
how much you love me and want me…because you can't have me."
"I
have loved you for a long time, and Elizabeth is my friend, I can't
just tell her to go away."
Sam yanked her wrist out of Jason's
grip and turned around, "Oh spare me. She's in love with you. I
can see it, Carly can see it it, why can't you?" Sam asked
angrily. She was sick of playing nice, she was sick of beating around
the bush, and she was sick of crying. She was in the mood to get
angry and angry was exactly what she was getting. She wanted to push
his buttons and make him feel just as horrible as she did. Sam turned
back around to meet his gaze, her black top swishing around her
thighs, "How would you feel if I moved in with Ric? How would you
feel if I went to Ric with my every problem? How would you feel if it
were Ric instead of Elizabeth showing up on our doorstep? What if
every time you walked into our home and looked at the couch you were
forced to think about Ric touching me and kissing me and making me
respond to him, and making me want to scream out in…"
"Stop
it." Jason yelled, grounding his palms into his eyes, "Just shut
up!"
"No! I want you to feel! I want you to understand how
much it kills me to see that BITCH! I HATE HER! I WANT TO HIT HER AND
CAUSE HER PHYSICAL PAIN!" Sam screamed at the top of her lungs.
Jason held out his arms and she turned into them and she couldn't
help it anymore. She cried, and she felt his tears fall into her
hair.
Ok,
so what did you think? I really enjoyed writing that! Now, if it
would happen on the show I could die seriously happy. Reviews are
loved!
