Thank you all for the reviews. I want to explain that I'm not a long chapter kind of gal lol. I personally tend not to read stores with super long chapters because I get tired towards the end sometimes and I don't want you all to be bored lol.

Chapter 10

"Stay here Sam, I will handle Lucky!" Jason says as he stalks towards the door. He flings it open and he can instantly see the anger on Lucky's face and the shock at finding Jason there. Suddenly he hears Sam sobbing behind Jason and attempts to push his way through the door but Jason won't budge. "No, Lucky Sam isn't up for visitors right now."

"Excuse me? When the hell did you become her keeper? I love Sam and I will talk to her and there's nothing you can do about it."

"I'm not her keeper but I'm not going to let you upset her more than she already is. Plus the last I heard you were back with Elizabeth so what's with the declarations of love for Sam now? No never mind it doesn't matter because I'm not going to let you hurt her again" Jason says with a coldness in his voice that reaches his eyes.

"You hurt her more than I ever could Jason so back off" Lucky says equally cold.

"Enough!" Both men turn and see one very pissed off Sam. "Both of you get the hell out of my office NOW before I call the cops and have you thrown out."

"Sam I need to talk to you in private but I think Jason should go." Lucky says determined to get rid of Morgan.

"You can talk to me tomorrow Lucky, I'm not in the mood. Now Go!"

"What about Morgan?" Lucky says. There's no way he's leaving and letting Morgan is staying.

"That's really none of your concern Lucky but he's leaving too" she says giving Jason a pointed stare letting him know it's not open for discussion.

"Alright Sam I'll go but don't forget we have a date tonight" Jason says giving her back an equally determined stare.

"Jason in light of what happened I don't think that's a good idea." Sam just wants to be alone tonight but deep down she knows that Jason isn't going to let this drop and she's right.

"No Sam we had an arrangement and I won't let you back out. I will see you tonight. Say goodbye Spencer!" With that he grabs Lucky and pulls him out the door. Sam rushes behind them and slams the door behind them and locking it.

"I'd ask what's next but I don't want to know" Sam whispers to herself. She lays her head down on her desk and within 5 minutes she's fast asleep.

Jason and Lucky walk outside Sam's office building and stop outside the front door. Lucky is the first to speak and he looks at Jason coldly "I'm not going to let you hurt her again Morgan. You destroyed her and I won't let that happen again. Sam has become a strong woman, someone comfortable for the first time with who she is. With you she was always second best, she came after everyone – Sonny, Carly, Michael, Morgan ….. Elizabeth" he says softly.

"Yes she did and I will regret that for the rest of my life but I'm not the only one who put Elizabeth before Sam am I Lucky? While Sam was risking her life to save everyone at GH you were on a roof top kissing your ex-wife which Sam saw. I'm not the only one that hurt her but the difference is you did it knowing everything Elizabeth and I had put her through. She made a conscious decision to kiss Elizabeth knowing Sam could be somewhere in that building dying for all you knew but as always you put your own needs above Sam's. Now I know that you are fighting for custody of the boys and I fully support your decision to do that knowing what I know now but I'm warning you, don't drag Sam into your mess, you have no idea what's she's going through right now."

"Actually I do know Jason, I got a DVD from Jerry Jacks today confessing everything he made Sam do" Lucky says smugly.

"Did he also confess that he raped her" Jason responds in anger.

"What? How the hell do you know that? On the DVD he said nobody knew but he and Sam" Lucky said clearly aggravated.

"Really? You need to ask me how I knew? Sam told me of course, right before you came pounding on her door. Sam trusts me, can you honestly say she trusts you enough to tell she was raped by a psychotic like Jerry. Have you forgotten this is not the first time Sam and I have been through dealings with a deranged man after Sam."

"Oh yes of course Manny, the man that shot her and the reason she can't have kids. You are the reason she can't have kids Jason. How do you live with yourself knowing you took her one dream away from her?" Instantly Lucky knows he's gone too far and he can see Jason's anger reach his eyes seconds before Jason punches him in the face, instantly breaking his nose.

"Do not pretend to know what Sam and I have gone through and what we have shared We've got a bond that you can't break. No matter how hard you try Spencer!" Jason throws a rag at Lucky and says "might want to get that nose looked at Spencer!" Jason walks to SUV, grabs his cell phone and dials Spinelli. "Find Jerry Jacks! I don't care what you have to do. He crossed the line and he will pay" Jason says as he hangs up. He knows he should tell Spinelli why he is so adamant but it would destroy Spinelli if he knew what his business partner and friend had gone through over the past couple of years. Jason puts his SUV in gear and heads to his penthouse to finish the preparations for a very special night.

Jason walks into the penthouse to see Maxie closing her cell phone. "What's left to do Maxie? It's more important than ever that tonight be a welcome distraction for Sam."

"Ok Carly is on the roof top putting the finishing touches . Dinner will be hear at 4:45 which will give me just enough time to get it set up while you prep Sam. I'm getting ready to set the table here now and then the rest is up to you." Maxie sighs and continues "Sam told you didn't she, you know about Jerry?"

"Yes but how did you know?" Jason answers clearly surprised.

"Sam is my best friend Jason. She has talked me down from making some of the stupidest decisions in my life and when I made mistakes she didn't judge me, she just listened. We decided to have a girls' night in one night with every kind of booze you can imagine and that's when she told me what Jerry had done TO her and what he forced her to do. I promised her I'd never tell a soul but I could tell when you walked in that you knew."

"Yes now that I know it explains a lot because the Sam I fell in love with would have never had done those things. I hate that I didn't believe in her, that she didn't feel that she could come to me when this was all going down but …." Jason stops and tries to regain his thoughts.

"But Elizabeth had you wrapped around her little finger believing you were doing what was best for Jake. Nobody can fault you for wanting to protect your son Jason but in your quest to protect Jake, you forgot Sam. My question is can you forgive yourself for that? I know Sam has, she's managed to put herself back together twice now, once after you destroyed her and once when Lucky did. Jason, I know you love Sam, I can see it in your eyes, but you may need to let her figure this out on her own. Just let her know that you are here but don't push her or you may lose her for good" Maxie says as walks away to finish getting the room ready when there's a knock on the door.

Jason swings the door open to find a delivery man from the jewelry store. "Mr. Morgan?" he says.

"Yes, is that my package" he says seeing the small parcel in the man's hands.

"Yes sir, please sign here"

Jason does just that and takes the package and places it in his pocket and turns to Maxie who now has the table set and is placing candles around the room. "Thank you Maxie for your advice. I'm hoping tonight will show Sam how much I love her and that I will always be here for her and this little package will help me do that." Jason rushes upstairs to get ready secretly praying that Sam shows up. He has a lot to make up for.
