Fear nothing
Chapter 25
"Jack… please don't do this."
"Phil, you've given me no choice. You took advantage and sooner or later she'll realise. You'll have to choose."
"I need to speak to Sam." He knocked lightly on the door. "Sam?" He got no response. He tried the door and realised it was locked. "Sam open the door… please?" She slowly got up and reluctantly opened the door, only letting Phil inside.
"What?"
"Sam, you have to understand that Jack's putting me in an impossible position. If he fires me, it's more than likely he'll fire you too."
"You made me a promise Phil."
"I know, but I can make sure you're safe better if I still have my job."
"I'm not sure I can trust you anymore."
"Sam, don't be like this. I just need some time to figure out how to get around this."
"If you loved me like you said you did, you wouldn't need to think." She shouted.
"I would never ask you to give up your job!" he shouted back.
"You already did! Remember Weaver? I risked my job for you."
"I never asked you to. I knew how much it means to you. I would never ask you to give up your job, and you're asking me to! He raised his voice.
"Back then, the job was all I had. I was the job. If I lost it I would have lost everything! Hell, I'd probably even have lost my daughter!" she felt tears well up in her eyes. "Back then my career was everything to me. A couple of weeks ago you were everything to me! You meant everything to me!"
"Sam I…"
"Do you know this was the only thing that got me through the past few days?" she took off her engagement ring.
"No, Sam please don't do that, come on don't overreact."
"You were the first man I have ever truly trusted." She sobbed as tears ran down her face. "After years of being so careful I finally break down the barriers. For the first time I just let myself go, threw caution to the wind and it turns out you were the one to hurt me the most." She put the ring on the table and headed to the door.
"Sam wait…" he sighed. "I haven't made my decision yet."
"Yeah well either way it works for me."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Well… you quit, everything's fine. You choose the job… and the next time you cock up, I can have you immediately transferred, I will never have to see you again, I can get on with my life… and at least try to pretend you were never in it."
"You don't mean that."
"Yes Phil, I do." She cried.
"Well what if I quit?"
"I told you it works for me both ways."
"Then I'll quit."
"Don't say it if you don't mean it."
"I can't lose you Sam, and if this is what it takes then fine, I'll do it."
"You will?"
"Just put the ring back on and kiss me yeah?" he picked up the ring and passed it to her. She slipped it onto her finger and leant up to kiss him softly, but cautiously.
"Promise you won't hurt me."
"I promise."
"Good. If you hurt me, I am out of here and you will never see me again."
"I promised didn't I? I've never broken a promise to you and I'm not going to start now."
Sam smiled softly at him.
You know I would never do that to them, or you guys for that matter, thanks to everyone for reviewing, do it again and I will try to ud soon. Luv Sam xxx
