When she comes back
Chapter 8
Jason stood in the elevator even after it had reached his floor. The guards were staring but none of them said a word. He knew that they wouldn't. They were all scared of him. He could take away there jobs or worse make them disappear altogether. Each and everyone on his and Sonny's payroll knew that. It used to be different, there once was a time when he knew everyone's name. That was all because of Hannah. She would remind him that they were people and needed to be respected. Thursday nights used to be poker night, he and a couple of the guards would get together to play a few hands. That was something that Sonny never wanted to be apart of. For a split second Jason wanted to ask the three guys in the hallway if they wanted to come inside drink a couple beers and play some poker. But when he stepped out of the elevator everyone looked away and he remembered that they were all scared of him. Jason decided not to say anything as usual and went inside. If Sam was there she would follow him in trying not to make eye contact. Hannah on the other hand would have stopped to talk to them. Ask them if they needed anything. He missed that, he missed the friends that he used to have when it came to the guards. Now it felt like he only had Sam, Sonny, and Carly.
"Jason, your finally home." Sam said when he opened the door and ripped him from his train of thought.
"Was I gone long?" he asked not knowing how much time had gone since he first left for Sonny's house.
"Yeah Jason you were, and you never called like you promised me. I was scared something might have happened to you." She said as she walked over and hugged him.
He wrapped his arms around her. He felt like a zombie just going through the motions. When he heard the fear in Sam's voice, he reassured himself that she is the one that he was in love with. His head kept telling him that she is the right one for him. That Sam was like a loyal puppy that would never hurt him. Hannah had hurt him in away that he never could have imagined, but she didn't do it on purpose. His mind and his heart were fighting about the two women that he loved. "I need a beer" he said under his breath not thinking that she heard him.
Sam looked up at him and then disappeared into the kitchen. He hadn't meant for to get him on. He wasn't even sure if he really wanted one. Jason was thankful that she had left the room. He hated the fact that he was keeping something from her. Jason had no idea how Sam would take something like this. Hannah was something that he never thought about telling her. She was died and that was that you don't come back from that.
"Here you go Jason and diner should be ready in a few minutes." Sam said handing him a beer. "When you left I picked up some take out from Kelly's."
Jason leaned back on the sofa so he was staring at the ceiling. He was tired of take out and that was the only thing that Sam knew how to make. If he wanted a home cooked meal he would have to make it or eat at Sonny's. "Sam I need to talk to you." He said making eye contact with her.
"Jason are you alright you seem a little stressed." Sam said sitting down. "If it can wait I say you should wait then."
"It can't wait. I wish I didn't have to tell you because I don't want to hurt you in anyway." Jason said holding her hand trying to ease the blow. "I can't marry you like we planed."
"What the hell are you talking about?" Sam said snatching her hand away from Jason and started to pace around the living room. "Why don't you want to marry me, what changed you mine now."
"It's not that I don't want to marry you it's just that I can't at least not under these new circumstances."
"Why Jason, why are you doing this to me? What about all the promises that you made to me? The life that you wanted to share with me, you changed your mind. Does this have something to do with Carly Because I'm sick of her trying to ruin our lives."
"This has nothing to do with Carly. I can't marry you because I'm still married to someone else." Jason said finally looking up at Sam.
"How in the world could you still be married to? Your marriage to Courtney was never valid because she was still marred to AJ."
"Sam will you please sit down and listen to me?" He waited until she sat down before he told her the truth. "Five years ago I was marred to a woman that I every much in love with. But one day she was home alone and men broken in to the penthouse. They kidnapped her and everyone thought that she was died but we know that she is still alive."
"Did she love you?"
"Yes why?" Jason said not knowing where she was going with this.
"Then why did she wait five years before she came back?" Sam didn't even know his person but she already hated her. She was destroying her relationship with Jason. Now she had to make sure that Jason hated her too.
"She was in a coma so she couldn't exactly call and tell us where she was."
Jason way already defending her Sam needed to move fast to make sure Jason stayed with her. "The woman that came to the door today."
"That was Hannah."
