''Jamie!'' ''Don't do this wake up!'' ''Fuck don't do this to me!'' Sam in a panic. Shaking Jamie for dear life.
Sam was at work in the diner all morning long. It was noon now. And lunch time.
So Sam made Jamie her favorite grill cheese sandwich.
Sam remembered that was Jamie favorite.
When they dated back in Philly. Dropping the sandwich on the carpet. Sam rushed to a unresponsive Jamie on the floor. The needle she had used to get high.
Laid right next to her still body. ''Shit Jamie what did you do to yourself?!'' Sam pulled out his cell about to call 911. Before he could. Jamie eyes started to fluttered.
And she opened them. ''Jamie?'' Sam put his cell back in his pocket. ''Are you okay?'' He asked. She barely nodded.
''Jamie you got to stop this.'' ''You're going to kill yourself.'' ''I thought you were dead.'' ''When I saw you laying here.'' Sam voice cracked. He really did care for Jamie.
And didn't want her to die. She needed help. Professional help. Her drug addiction. Had gone too far. Sam knew. Jamie knew.
It was only a matter of time before her last high was her last.
''Dude what the hell are you doing with this chick?!'' Puck questioned Sam. Sam called Puck. He needed his help for Jamie. ''Puck look I need your help.''
Sam gestured towards Jamie now laying in bed. She was asleep. Puck could see the track marks. Shaking his head. ''Fuck dude she's a addict.''
''You're cheating on Cede's with a druggie?!'' Puck accused Sam.
''No,I'm not cheating on Mercedes with her.''
'''I need you to get me medications.'' ''To help Jamie.'' ''She's gonna start going thru withdrawals soon.'' ''And medication will help her thru the pain.''
Sam asked Puck. ''Are you crazy I could lose my job and go to prison?!'' Puck worked at a in patient drug rehab center.
And stealing drugs to give to a addict that wasn't a patient. Would result in Puck getting fired and getting arrested. ''Puck I know I'm asking a lot of you,but''….
Sam getting cut off by Puck. ''But,nothing Sam this is serious shit.'' ''You're asking me to risk.'' Puck pointing to a still asleep Jamie.
''Puck please just this one time.'' ''And I'll never ask you do this again.'' Sam begged. Puck sighs. Rubbing his forehead. ''If,I get caught.'' ''Your ass is going down.''
''And your junkie friend too!'' Puck this time talking loud enough to wake Jamie.
''My name is Jamie.'' ''And who do you think you are?''
''Do you think you're better than me?'' Jamie slurred in a weak voice.
''No,but I think you're bad news and need to leave town.'' ''Sam has a wife two kids and another baby on the way!'' Puck fired back. Sam pulled Puck into the kitchen.
Shutting the bedroom door that Jamie was in. ''Puck I just need you to help me.'' ''And after that you don't have to worry about nothing.''
''Jamie is a friend that I've known for a long time.'' ''As you can see her life is pretty fucked right now.'' Puck nodded.
He didn't say nothing else. Walking out Sam's apartment. Sam sigh. So much shit was going on. His past catching up with him. Mercedes kicking him out the house.
Mercedes pregnant. Sam just wanted his life back. Quiet honest hard working normal life back.
Just him and his family. ''Sam.'' Jamie called from the bedroom. In a weak shallow voice. Sam opened the bedroom door. Jamie was shaking uncontrollably.
Drenched in sweat. Her withdrawal was starting.
It was late at night. A loud knock at the side door of Sam's apartment. Alarmed him. ''I'll be right back Jamie.'' Sam left the cool towel on Jamie's head.
That's all he could think of at the moment.
He thought maybe cooling her off would help with the withdrawal. Sam grabbed his steel bat. Opening the door. It was Puck.
''So are you gonna let me in?'' ''Or beat me with that bat?''
''Puck it's really late.'' ''Why are you here?'' Sam questioned.
''Here you go.'' Puck tossed the pills to Sam. ''Did you forget that you asked me to steal those for you?'' Puck smirked.
Sam looking at the bottle of pills in his hand. ''No…I didn't forget.''
''I just didn't think you'd go thru with it to be honest.'' Sam smirked back. ''Dude you're like my best friend.'' ''I'll never leave you hanging.'' Puck patted Sam's shoulder.
''So,I gotta go Quinn's asleep.'' ''I snuck out the house.''
''Oh….and tomorrow we're all sitting down at Quinn and I house.'' ''Why?'' Sam questioned. ''Tina,Mike,Santana & Brittany finally are here.''
''Friends and dinner!'' Puck cheered walking out the door.
''Oh,great.'' Sam mumbled.
Sam was the last to arrive at Quinn and Puck's. Ringing the door bell. Quinn answered the door. ''Sam glad you made it.''
Quinn hugged him. Sam hugged her back. Taking a deep breath.
Following behind Quinn. Everyone were laughing and carrying on. When Sam walked in. The table became silent as soon as his presence was noticed.
''Um….Hey,Sam.'' Puck clearing his throat. ''We were just laughing about that time we all got drunk and went streaking.'' ''In the lake.'' ''Remember?''
Sam letting out a small chuckle. ''Yeah I remember that.'' Sam's eyes went straight to Mercedes. That night he and Mercedes were so drunk.
They had wild passionate sex. Then a few weeks later Mercedes found out she was pregnant with Sarah.
Mercedes broke eye contact with Sam. Getting up from the dinner table. Excusing herself. She was about to brake down. Tears on the verge of leaving her eyes.
''Just great Mr. Man whore.''
''You made Mercedes cry for the millionth time again!'' Santana shooting daggers at Sam. He ignored Santana. Going to check on Mercedes.
''Santana chill.''
Tina said shaking her head.
''What I'm just being honest.''
''It's not like we aren't all thinking it.'' Santana shrugged. Sam knocked on the bathroom door. Mercedes didn't answer. Sam could here her crying thru the door.
''Mercedes please let me in.'' ''I just want to talk.''
Sam rested his head against the bathroom door. Nearly falling over when Mercedes opened the door. Her eyes red from crying. ''I'm sorry.''
That's all Sam could say. Mercedes wiped her red eyes.
''Sorry isn't always enough Sam.'' Mercedes folding her arms. Looking at Sam. Sam shut the door behind him.
Sam leaned against the bathroom door. He couldn't take it no longer. Seeing Mercedes break down and cry. Over him. On their wedding day he vowed to Mercedes.
That he would never make her cry. And he broke that vow. Moving from the door. Sam slowly approached Mercedes. He wrapped his arms around her.
''I'm so sorry baby.'' ''I love you.'' ''I love our kids.'' ''Please baby I'll do anything to be back with you.'' Sam pleaded. Mercedes took one looked into his eyes.
She could see that Sam was truly sorry for lying to her. Mercedes was still hurt. But,something over came her. And now all she wanted was for Sam lips to be on hers.
Mercedes aggressively pulled Sam face towards hers. Lashing onto his lips. He moaned caught off guard. Not expecting Mercedes to kiss him.
''Mer...'' ''Can we just...'' Every time Sam tried to speak. Mercedes would deepen the kiss. She didn't want to talk. She just wanted to feel anything something just feel.
Sam picked Mercedes up. She wrapped her legs around his waist. Gently siting Mercedes down on the bathroom counter. Mercedes reached for Sam belt buckle.
He stopped her. She gave him a questioning look. ''We need to talk.'' ''As much as I want to have sex with you right now.'' ''Baby we need to talk.'' Sam told Mercedes.
To talk that's the opposite of what Mercedes wanted to do right now. She need something to relief her stress. And what better than sex to relief stress.
Again Mercedes ignored Sam wanting to talk. And she started to kiss his neck grabbing for his belt buckle again. ''No,stop I don't think us having sex is going to fix anything.''
Sam stopping Mercedes again. This time she was frustrated and mad. ''Alright Sam let's talk!'' Sam started to open his mouth. But,Mercedes started to talk before him.
''Hm...let's see.'' ''You lied to me.'' ''Our whole life is a lie.'' ''You're a mob drug lord killer.'' ''And to top it off you're cheating on me with some skinny whore!''
''The worst part of it all I still fucking love you Sam!'' ''Oh,my bad your name is Joey!'' Mercedes rolled her eyes wiping the tears away. Getting off the counter.
Heading for the bathroom door. Sam grabbed Mercedes arm. ''First off I'm sorry how many times do I have to apologize?'' ''Second I'm not cheating on you.''
''I told you she's a old friend from my past.'' ''And I would never cheat on you.'' ''I love you and only you!'' Sam pleaded yet again.
''Save it Sam I'm done.'' Mercedes snatched her arm away. Opening the bathroom door walking out.
For the rest of the night. The dinner party was awkward as hell. Both Sam and Mercedes giving each other angst looks.
When Sam got back to the diner and his apartment. Jamie was in the mist of packing her bags. ''Hey,where are you going?'' Sam asked Jamie.
''I think he's here in Millbrook.'' Jamie looked at Sam. ''Who?'' Sam questioned.
''Darrell.'' ''His men came to the dinner.'' ''I was feeling a little bit better.'' ''And I wanted to try to eat something.'' ''So I went downstairs to order some food.''
''And his men were already in the diner.'' ''I quickly hid in the restroom.'' ''And didn't come out until I knew for sure they were gone.'' ''I gotta get out of this town now.''
''Or I'm dead Sam!'' ''Darrell will eventually find me and kill me!'' Jamie continued to stuff her bag with clothes. ''Look if Darrell is here in town.'' ''I want let him hurt you.''
'' I'll protect you.'' ''I swear Jamie.'' Sam put his hand on her shoulder. Stopping her from packing the rest of her belonging. Jamie smiled at Sam. She hugged him tight.
''My Joey.'' ''Always the stand up guy.'' ''I'll always love you for that.'' ''But,you have a family to protect.'' ''They're more important than me.''
''You should go home to your wife and kids.'' Kissing Sam on the cheek. Jamie let go of her hold on Sam's waist. Grabbing the rest of her baggage. She started to leave.
''Wait,Jamie.'' ''Do you think it's a good ideal to leave while it's dark out?'' ''That's even more dangerous.'' ''Anything can happen to you.'' Sam trying to reason with Jamie.
Jamie reached in her bag pulling out a gun.''Where did you get that?!'' Sam's face frowned. ''I brought it hot off the streets.'' ''Back home in Philly.'' ''I'll be okay Joey.''
''Well,at least let me drive you to the train station or airport.'' Sam offered. ''No Joey.'' ''I called a cab.'' Looking out the window Jamie could see the cab.
Sam walked her to the cab. They hugged. ''Whenever I get somewhere and it's safe.'' ''Don't worry I'll find a way to contact you.'' ''I promise!'' Jamie whispered to Sam.
Before she left. Sam made Jamie promise that she wouldn't go back to using drugs again. And she promised she wouldn't. No matter how hard it was for her.
Jamie promised Sam. Sam watched as the taxi pulled off. He waved goodbye to Jamie. She waved back. Mouthing the words thank you. Sam was tired. The dinner with friends.
Fighting with Mercedes. Helping Jamie. All Sam wanted to do was sleep. He took a quick shower. Then went to bed. A few hours later. Sam was awoken by his cell phone ringing.
He squinted his eyes. It read Mercedes on the cell. ''Um,hello.'' Sam answered. ''Sam I need you to come home now.'' Mercedes hung up the phone.
Before Sam could speak another word. ''Is something wrong?!'' ''Did something happen to the baby?!'' ''Mercedes,Jack Sarah my family.'' ''God please let them be okay!''
The thoughts and prayers going thru Sam's mind. As he drove as fast as he could. To the house. Sam jumped put his truck. Using his keys. Opening the house door.
''Mercedes!'' Sam ran inside the house. ''Mercedes baby where are you?!'' He shouted. ''Sam.'' Mercedes stood at the top of the stairs.
Sam immediately running to the top of the stairs. Hugging her close to his chest.
''Are you okay?'' ''I thought something happen.''
He inspected her body. Looking at her face,arms,legs.
Touching Mercedes growing belly. ''I'm fine Sam everybody's fine.'' Mercedes grabbed Sam's hand. Guiding him into the bedroom. Once they were inside. She locked the door.
Turning around. That look in her eye. It was pure lust and sex. She pushed Sam on his back. Taking off his jacket and shirt. She kissed his ripped chest. Sam let out a groan.
As Mercedes bite his pecs. Sam hands went under Mercedes silk night gown. Squeezing her ass. She let out a aroused hiss. Leaning down kissing his juicy pink lips.
Mercedes sucking on Sam's lips for dear life. As his hands moved to her sensitive breast. That were even bigger. Because,of her being pregnant.
Sam slowly and seductively removed Mercedes silk gown over her head. Her breast freely hung over Sam's face. Sam taking each in his mouth.
Biting and sucking on each nipple. Until Mercedes let out a tremble. Going for Sam's belt buckle. This time he didn't stop her.
As she unbuckled and pulled his pants completely off. Sam gently flipped them over. He was now on top. Hooking his fingers on each end of Mercedes panties.
Pulling them off. ''I love you.'' He told her. Looking him in the eyes. She pulled his boxers off. ''I love you too.'' She told him.
Mercedes pulled Sam's face in for another passionate kiss. Sam pushed his hard penis inside Mercedes she gripped the bedsheets.
Wrapping her thighs around his muscled back and waist. She held on tight as he continued to give her intense stroke after stroke.
Morning came. Sam woke up first. He didn't want to move for fear. Mercedes would be gone when he got back. So he just laid in bed with his arms wrapped around her.
Just staring at her for hours. ''You're creeping me out Sam.'' Mercedes said yearning covering her mouth. Sam smile. ''I just don't want to let you go.'' ''That's all.''
He snuggled into her neck. ''But,you do have to let me go.'' Mercedes removed his arms from around her. Sam could sense this conversation wasn't gonna be a good one.
''Mercedes I want to come home.'' ''I want to be with you and I want to be with my kids.'' Sam pouring his heart out. ''Sure you do Sam.''
''That's why it's been a month going on two.'' ''That you've been shacked up with some slut!'' Mercedes spat at Sam getting out of bed. Putting her panties back on.
Slipping her gown back on. ''Mercedes you kicked me out the house.'' ''Second her name is Jamie.'' ''We're nothing,but old friends.'' ''She has some personal issues.''
''I only helped her.'' ''I never kissed her or slept with her.'' ''Nothing happened.'' ''Jamie knows that I love you and my kids!'' Sam shouted now angry.
Mercedes stood there with her arms folded. Looking guilty. As Sam got dressed. ''I know you used me for sex.'' I was cool with it.'' ''Because,I thought maybe just maybe.''
''You would let me stay.'' Sam said walking out the bedroom door. Mercedes crying. She did used him. She was lonely and needed a warm body.
And being pregnant her sexual urges were starting to get more a more intense.
Like a craving for sex. And of course Mercedes wouldn't call up anybody else,but Sam to satisfy her needs.
Sam finally made it back to the diner. When he walked into his apartment. Darrell and his men were waiting for him. ''Sam long time no see.'' Darrell spoke.
''Where is she?'' Darrell wasted no time. Letting Sam know. That he was here for Jamie. ''I don't know what you're talking about.'' Sam lying.
''Joey so not the right answer.'' Darrell said walking over to Sam. Pulling out his glock. He hit Sam in the face with it. Drawing out blood. Sam's head bleeding.
''Now I'm going to ask you again!'' ''Where the fuck is Jamie?!'' Darrell demanded. ''Fuck you!'' Sam launched at Darrell punching him in the face. That took a lot out of Sam.
Who was already dizzy from the blow to the face. And his head bleeding even worst now. Darrell men held down Sam. ''You done fucked up boy!'' ''Beat him until he talks.''
''Don't kill him.'' ''I need him alive.'' Darrell ordered his men. He couldn't just kill Sam. Well not right now.
Because,Sam was next in line to take over the Irish mob family business. It was a blood line.
And Sam was the direct descendant. Now that Richie was dead. Sam inherent the business. The business that Darrell wanted. And a Black man taking over a White Irish mob.
The only way that would happen is if. Sam himself willingly hands over the business to Darrell. And that's why Darrell hadn't bothered to kill Sam yet.
Until he secured the business then Sam could die. They beat Sam relentlessly. Until he was unconscious. Sam didn't give them no information on Jamie whereabouts.
Because,honestly he didn't know where she went. He if he did. Sam would never tell anyways. They dropped Sam's beaten lifeless body off in a alleyway. And sped off...
