Ch 11
After lunch, Sam decided to take her brothers around town. She parked her car at the park and they all stepped out. "I still cant believe our little one is driving around in a BMW" Lucas said chuckling. Sam shook her head "Do I sense a little jealousy there?" she asked him as she pushed him and hit her lock button. "I wouldnt say jealousy persay, its more of an observation" he replied with a smile. Dom walked up to Sam and pulled her into a hug "So tell me, how are you really doing? I see the smile and I am so glad but I want to be sure its genuine." "I am happy, really. I miss my life, I miss mom and dad but I feel lucky I guess to be given a second chance with a family" she told him with her smile fading. Dom looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "I feel guilty!" she shouted. "Why me? God knows I'm grateful but why did I have to lose mom and dad in order to gain this family?!" Dom sighed, he knew the second he saw her that she was still struggling with all the changes in her life. "Dont feel guilty Sam. Embrace it. Lucas and I support you and we are by your side all the way" he told her as he grabbed her hand. "We are looking at apartments today too. We are moving here because we love you and we are a family that will stick together through all of this." Sam smiled and started walking through the park and to the pier. She wanted to show her brothers the beauty of Port Charles.
They all sat on a bench and stared out to the water. "So we have an appointment today with a realtor" Lucas told Sam. "What time? I will come with you!" she told him. "Its at 3 today and you dont have to come with us. In fact, it will give us a chance to find our way around. You dont have to babysit us Sam" Dom told her with a smile knowing that she wanted to keep an eye on her brothers. They had a tendecy to find trouble and from what she knew about Port Charles, trouble always seemed to be lurking. "Besides, we have to look for jobs. We cant be living here for free" Lucas told her. "Ok, I get it. Try talking to Uncle about jobs. Maybe he will let you work at Cassadine Industries." After some time passed, the boys decided it was time to part ways. They didnt want to be late meeting their realtor. They all said their goodbyes and Sam decided to take a walk along the pier. She had never walked to where the warehouse were and she had nothing better to do.
Sam walked along towards warehouse 52 when she saw some men standing around. The men were dressed in black suits and hadn't noticed her yet. She decided now would be a good time to turn around, these men made her uncomfortable and she decided to trust her instinct. As she turned around she ran into the chest of a taller gentlemen. "I'm sorry, I didnt see you there" she said as she went to step around. The man reached out and grabbed her arm. "Why the hurry? You must have a purpose to be down here. Did Corinthos send you?" he asked her never breaking eye contact. Sam shook her head no "No one sent me, I was taking a walk thats all." "No one takes a walk down here. I suggest you start talking" he told her as his two men approached guns drawn. Sam looked back at the men and felt the fear creeping up her spine. "I promise you I know nothing. I just moved here." "Thats a shame..." he started as he pulled his gun. Sam flinched, fearing that he would kill her but as she opened her eyes she saw the gun was pointed in front of her at the figure standing behind the two other men. "Ahhh...Mr. Morgan, you really shouldnt send a woman to do a mans job" the man smirked holding Sam tightly. "Let her go" Jason said with a fire in his voice. Sam looked at the man she thought she knew. His eyes that were once a blue were now a dark color. For the first time, Sam was seeing the man everyone spoke about. The cold hearted Jason Morgan, mob enforcer. "See, I would let her go but obviously she means something to you which means she is quite valuable to me" the man said as he jabbed the gun into Sam's side. Sam screamed out partly in pain and partly in fear. "She has nothing to do with this Alcazar and you know it. Let her go, you want me and I'm right here. Even trade." Sam started shaking in fear. She was terrified that this was it for her. "Thanks for the offer, but I will do something even better for you" Alcazar said as he pushed Sam forward and shot her in the leg. Sam fell to the ground and screamed in pain. "Take that as a warning Mr. Morgan" and with that Alcazar was gone.
Jason quickly ran up to Sam and helped her to a sitting position. Sam looked up into his eyes and saw that the darkness was gone and the mob enforcer Jason was gone. Her Jason was the one left to help her. Jason quickly pulled off his tshirt and tied it around her leg as a turniket. Sam groaned in pain as he pulled to tighten it. He quickly scooped her up and took her to his SUV. As he went to drive away he felt Sam put her arm on his. "You always save me" she told him. He looked down trying to hide the tears that were forming in his eyes. "Hey, dont do that" she told him seeing what he was doing. "This is why you can't be in my life" he whispered. "Its my choice Jason. Again, you saved me. I dont care what people say or what others believe about you. I see the kind, loving Jason" she told him. He grabbed her hands and kissed her knuckles. "I could love you Sam, but loving you could cost you your life. I cant do that to you" he said as he dropped her hands and grabbed the steering wheel. "So thats it? You come into my life and walk out of my life when I am most vulnerable. I get no say?" she asked him feeling desperate. She barely knew him but yet he had this hold on her. "Dont you see that I am doing this for you? I am walking away for YOU!" he shouted, his emotions getting the best of him. "You are a coward! You know that? You make me fall for you and then you walk away" she yelled as she hit him in the arm. Jason turned to face Sam. He grabbed her face and kissed it. The passion was there, the love was felt. "I care too much. Your Uncle was right. You have to stay away Sam" and with that Jason drove Sam to the hospital. Not another word was spoken in the car. Just the occasional sniffle could be heard from Sam.
Jason pulled his SUV up to the emergency room doors and went around to the passenger side to get Sam. He scooped her up into his arms and looked in to her eyes. Her eyes were blood shot and her cheeks were stained with her tears. Jason sighed knowing what he was doing to her but she had to realize that loving him wasnt worth her life. He walked up to the nurses station and found Ephiphany "She was shot in the leg. Through and through. Bleeding is controlled" and with that Ephiphany pointed towards an open room and he placed Sam on the bed. He took one last look at her before turning around to step out. "Jason dont! Please!" she begged but he kept walking. He made it back to his car and started punching his steering wheel. Walking away from her was harder than he ever imagined. Sam lied in the bed with tears coming down her face. She saw the nurses and doctors but didnt hear what they were saying. "Samantha..." she heard him say and looked over to find her Uncle standing in the room, fear evident in his face. He walked up to her and grabbed her hand. "Are you in pain?" he asked her unsure where the tears were coming from. She shook her head no and wiped her tears. "The pain isnt from my leg Uncle" and with that Stefan embraced his niece.
