I am back with another chapter I am completely in love with this story and I can see the characters taking shape in my mind. I must say I love the response to the last chapter when I sat down to write Emily and Elizabeth's dialogue I had no clue how it was going come out. My Emily is completely different than what they played on screen and I love her honesty and take no prisoners attitude she is perhaps my fav character in this story and she is not done with Elizabeth yet. Lucky will make his intro next. Well I will stop my rambling and get on with the next chapter here it is.

Chapter 7

Jason arrived at the hospital immediately looking for Robin to get Sam's latest prognosis, hoping desperately that they had been able to help find something to help Sam. He was just about to ask the nurse on duty to page Robin when she called his name from behind him. "Jason" he turned and saw the stressed look on her face and the pallor of her skin. "Hey what's wrong did something happen to Sam since you called me?" He spoke all at once not giving her a chance to answer before rattling off other questions.

"Jason, nothing has happened to Sam since I called you although I am unsure of how she is going to feel once she sees that it's you that is picking her up, but she is just too sick and weak for me to comfortably let her leave on her own hopefully she doesn't put up too much of a fuss. "Robin you do realize this is Sam that we are talking about of course she is going to put up a fight she wouldn't be her if she didn't. Luckily I know this and have come prepared already. So where is she so I can get this argument over with?"

Robin chuckled knowing that Jason was right she found it amusing that those two could argue like cats and dogs but to anyone with eyes you could tell that they still loved each other deeply. She hoped that whatever or whomever had torn them apart wasn't enough to keep them broken up completely. "She is resting in room 517 please remember that there are other patients around so try and keep the yelling down to a minimal." She didn't want to be in the room or the vicinity of the room when Sam saw Jason. "I'll try to remember that I am hoping that all sharp objects have been removed because I really don't feel like ducking when she decides to start throwing things." Robin laughed as she walked away not telling Jason rather there were sharp or large objects in the room.

Sam sat in the chair staring at the walls that she was becoming to hate. She knew that Robin had more than likely called Jason and she wasn't sure if she was going let him help her or not. She wasn't sure what his motive was. Was he only helping her because of his hero complex or did he really want to help her because still had feelings for her. She shook her head not wanting to continue with that line of questioning.

Jason slowly walked down the hallway towards the room that Sam was currently in, as he stood outside of the door he took a deep breath hoping that she wouldn't be as hostile as she had been the last few times they had encountered each other. He softly knocked on the door not giving her a chance to ask him to come in he opened the door and saw her staring up at the ceiling. "Sam?" Jason stood waiting on her to acknowledge that he was standing in her room not wanting to get to close to her in case she decided to get violent which Sam had the tendency to do.

"Jason what do you want? Why are you here?" She really didn't feel like getting into another argument with him. "I am here to take you home Sam, look I realize that I am the last person that you want to help you and I completely understand why but you won't tell your family or anyone else and let them help you so until you find an alternative I am going to be here for you. Even after you decide to tell other people I am still going to be here for you."

Sam wanted to laugh did Jason seriously think that she was going to believe anything that came out of his mouth especially any of his empty promises. "Jason please don't make promises you have no intention on keeping I no longer live in a fantasy world where you and I are concerned. Look I know how you are about a damsel in distress but I assure you I am neither a damsel or in distress and I really don't need you for anything. Let's face it the minute something or someone more important comes along you're going to disappear and I need someone who is going to be there for the long run, who is going to help me fight or fight for me when I am too tired to do it myself and that person isn't you.

Now can you please leave me alone and go and take care of yourself or the never ending parade of people that take priority in your life. I don't need you nor do I want to accept help from you. I will be fine in another hour or so and then I can make my own way home." Sam turned her back on Jason hoping that he got the message and would leave her alone. Jason was stunned and he finally realized that the Sam that had once welcomed him into her life, the Sam that had once given her love and heart to him freely no longer existed and this new person wasn't going to let him in unless her really proved to her that he could put her first above all else.

He made a decision right then and there that what he needed to do was to become the man that she had loved once and to do that he needed to make some changes in his life. "Sam I won't make you anymore promises and as much as I want to force myself back into your life I know you well enough to know that approach won't work. So I am going to go but before I do I want you to know that if you need anything and I do mean anything even if it's just someone to yell at or beat up I am here and you can call me. He turned to walk out and barely heard her when she whispered a faint thank you.

Jason made his way down the hospital corridor only to run into the one person he was hoping to avoid. Elizabeth looked up from the chart she was studying and came face to face with Jason before she could control herself she reached up and smacked him with the chart. "How could you tell Emily about Jake?" She almost screamed at him.
