I am just going say that Jason broke up with Sam because Alexis asked him to when she was really sick. She thought she was going to die so she wanted Sam to help raise the girls, but was afraid for them being involved in his lifestyle. Sam agreed to it, but still is getting over Jason. I know I said previously it was about 2 months ago, but I think for the sake of the story I'll say 6 months ago.
Two nights later, Sam was knocking on Jason's door. He answered, and said, "Hey…Sam. Come in."
Sam walked in and sat down on the couch. Jason sat next to her and said, "Is everything ok?"
"Yeah. I really need a favor though. If you don't mind?"
"Hmm…depends on the favor," Jason said with a smile.
"Very funny. I need you to help me convince Sonny and Ric to lay off Alexis right now. They keep pressuring her about the kids, and its not making it any easier on her. She's barely recovered from her cancer, and dragging her in and out of court about custody is too much for her. I know she hasn't been my mother for long, but I can't help that I care about her. And I love Kristina and Molly, there is no reason for them to go through this."
Jason sighed and ran a hand across his face. "I know Sam. I tried talking to Sonny about it, but you know how he gets. He can't handle the idea that Ric would end up with Kristina, so he's trying to get control of the situation. Apparently Alexis told him that there is a risk of remission, and he doesn't want to take any chances. Maybe it would be best coming from you anyway."
"Jason, you know I won't be better at convincing him than you. You, and possible Carly, are the only people who can talk sense into Sonny when he gets like this. I just don't know what to do! Alexis is so worn out, and I want to help."
Jason looked at Sam, amazed at how compassionate she could be. He never expected her to agree to let him go for Alexis' sake. But he hadn't realized quite how much her sisters meant to her.
"I know Sam. I'll try again. And you know, you could try Carly. She's been through this stuff with Sonny, she can help you."
Sam smiled and said, "Bet you never expected to say those words to me and have me agree huh? I guess its nice being semi-friendly with Carly. But since we're now business partners, I guess we have to be."
Jason chuckled and said, "Yeah well, at least I don't have to worry about getting called down to Jake's to break up you two fighting again."
Sam laughed and said, "Well maybe, if we ever disagree on something. But Jason, thanks for the advice."
Sam stood to leave, and Jason walked her to the door. Before she left, she turned around and gave Jason a hug. Jason was surprised, but returned it. Smiling up at him, she said, "We're not too awkward to do this right? Who knows? Maybe someday we'll be like you and Carly."
At Jason's look of slight terror, she said, "Ok, maybe not quite to her extent, but you know what I mean."
"Yeah Sam, you know you can count on me."
"Bye Jason."
About 20 minutes later, Sam was walking up to the nurses' station at GH when she heard someone say, "Hello gorgeous."
Sam smiled and turned around. "Hey Patrick."
Patrick was happy to see her. "You must be here to see Alexis? She's finishing up her appointment right now; apparently Robin has been helping her look into some treatments that may help her recover more quickly. I'm sure she'll be out in about 10 minutes."
"Thanks Doc. That's exactly why I'm here."
Patrick put on a sad face and said, "And here I was thinking you might actually have been here to see me."
Laughing, Sam started to walk towards the waiting area but stopped and said, "No Patrick. But you are an added bonus."
Patrick couldn't help but like that comment. He walked over with her, and said, "Ok, well then how about a date? You know, just you and me, somewhere not involving drinking, after the last time," (Sam laughed at this) "a nice dinner maybe?"
Sam smiled at Patrick. "When exactly would you like this to happen?"
"Tomorrow night work for you? I could pick you up at 6."
"Make it 7. I have to meet with Carly to work out some details for our new club."
"You know, the thought of you and Carly working together peacefully seems a little unlikely to me."
"Hey! Just what do you mean by that remark Dr. Drake?" Carly interrupted, as she walked into the lounge. "Just because we may not have gotten along at one point doesn't mean we can't now."
Sam smiled at her new…friend and said, "Right. Everything ok Carly?"
"Actually, I am here to see you. Jason told me that you might need some advice for handling Sonny. I'm your woman for that!"
"On that note, I am leaving," Patrick said. "I'll see you tomorrow at 7. Bye Carly."
"Bye!" both women said in unison.
Leaning down conspiratorially, Carly said, "You and Dr. Hottie huh? Good choice Sam."
Sam laughed. "No, we're simply…enjoying each other's company. We'll see if it amounts to anything. I'm still recovering from Jason you know. He's not an easy man to get over, no matter what the circumstance."
Carly smiled and said, "Well, Patrick sure could make me get over someone. And hopefully on top of him, too!"
"CARLY!!" With that, Sam and Carly walked onto the elevator, and headed down by the piers to the location of their new club.
