Tick. Tick. Tick. Tick. Tick. Sam picked up the clock and threw it across the room, smiling in satisfaction when it smashed against the wall. She hated this. Feeling trapped. Feeling unwanted.
As a child, she had promised herself that she would never do this to herself. If she didn't fall in love, there was no chance she could get hurt. But she had fallen and fallen hard.
When would this ever end? Sam didn't know. But she would take any opportunity to make this go faster. Her phone began to vibrate loudly. She looked at the name on the caller id. Jason. She threw the phone against the wall too.
Sam spotted a vase on the table next to her and smashed that. Next came the flowerpot, then the wine glasses, the papers, anything she could get her hands on. She flipped over the table, then the chair.
She slid down the wall when she was finally done. The penthouse looked destroyed. But it didn't matter anymore. None of it mattered.
"Mamaw, why are me and Sissy here?" Jake asked innocently. Monica glanced at him in her rearview mirror. The little boy had Alan's eyes. Her heart hurt just thinking about her deceased husband.
"Because Mamaw and Grandpa Edward wanted to see you guys." She easily deflected. Being only three, Jake didn't push her any further. Monica stopped the car at the red light, turning around to face her granddaughter. Ava was sleeping. Jason and Sam had changed her name from Emily Danielle to Ava Danielle Emily just two days after they picked the first name, saying it didn't fit their baby girl.
Jason and Sam. They were a mess right now. But Monica didn't want to meddle. She was just going to take care of her grandkids and try to support the two adults in whatever decisions they made.
The water lapped against the dirt. He couldn't take his eyes off of it, even though it was a truly boring sight. He didn't know what to think anymore. Was his whole life a lie, or just what she had told him?
He didn't know, but he needed to figure it out. He was not going to live in the constant worry that he would lose his children anymore. Nikolas would fight.
"Come to grandma, Adrienne." The older woman held her arms out, but it was useless. The baby hardly knew her, she wasn't going to just jump up and immediately love her.
"Its okay, Dri." Her 6 year old grandson tried to persuade his baby sister to go to their grandmother. It wasn't working. A baby cried from upstairs, causing Audrey to rise and go get him. The little boy was placed on the floor next to his twin sister, where they both just stared at her.
She wanted to support all of the decisions. They were family. But she just couldn't bring herself to hurt these children any longer.
Drink. That's all Jason could do anymore. He didn't want to face the reality. Didn't want to go home to his wife. Didn't even want his easy, on the side, relationship with the other woman anymore. He was just done. Jason couldn't do it. If there was ever a time when he just wanted to leave, it would be now.
Maybe that's what he would do. Just get on a plane and go somewhere. Somewhere that wasn't Port Charles. Somewhere that wasn't even in the United States.
But all hope of that immediately crashed down as soon as Carly Corinthos-Jacks entered Jake's. She stormed over to him, smacking him in the head.
"What are you doing?" she demanded.
"I'm drinking. Then I'll pack my things and leave. For good."
"Why? I don't even see why you are overreacting so much, Jason! It was just a mistake!"
"A mistake! She cheated on me, Carly! I thought you were supposed to be on my side anyway."
"No. I am on the kids' side. They need their parents. All of them. They can't have that if you are half way across the world trying to drink yourself to death!" Carly grabbed the bottle from his hand, putting it on the counter. Jason tried to object, but she lifted a hand to silence him.
"Look, I've made my share of mistakes, so I know exactly how she feels. I've also been cheated on, so I understand how you feel. But Jase, you need to get over it. Work it out or something. Just stop sitting here, feeling sorry for yourself, while your children are out there wondering where their Daddy is." She stormed out, her heels clacking loudly behind her.
Sorry for the wait! But I've just gotten inspiration for this story and I need to follow it!
As you can see, the timeline has jumped up a bit. Emily's name has been changed to Ava. I didn't want Emily anymore since I have one of the twins' named Emily in Convenience. Ava is now out of the hospital and she is healthy.
What do you think is going on with everyone? I'm really not even sure that I know!
Please REVIEW or else I'm going to just delete this story. So, REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW!
