Chapter 4
Sam was sitting quietly on the couch in her hotel suite. She was very nervous on what Danny would think of her when she tells him about Josh. Sam always showed her strong side and it was hard for her to let Danny see her at her worst.
Danny was sitting on the armchair across from Sam. He was staring into her eyes trying to figure out what's going through her head, she is a hard person to read, but all he could see was sadness and that she was scared. It's been ten minutes since they came up to her room and Sam hasn't said a word yet to explain what happened at Mystique. Danny was being patient and knew that she needed time to sort her thoughts.
Sam started to have second thoughts about telling Danny, she wasn't sure if she could face him with all of the threats and abuse Josh put her through. Sam got off of the couch and started pacing. She was getting frustrated with her situation and she stopped pacing and looked at Danny "uh....I don't know if I can do this" she said softly
"Sam, you have to trust me ok? Tell me what happened before metro needs your statement." Danny told Sam
Sam was confused "Statement?"
"Yeah, they need your statement so you can press charges, when they find Josh"
'Oh my god', Sam thought, 'Josh cant go to jail he'd go crazy'
"Sam?"
"Oh, uh....what would happen if I don't press charges?" Sam asked Danny
Danny got up from his chair "Sam what the hell are you talking about?...you have to put Josh in jail"
Sam looked at Danny and continued "He wouldn't go to jail right?"
"Oh my god....." Danny said to himself he was getting frustrated "He almost killed you down there and you don't want to press charges?"
"No I don't, I love him all right, he just snapped because he was jealous of you, and he's a good guy." Sam yelled back
Danny chuckled and became anger "Sam you cant lie to me.......I was there, you introduced him as your EX boyfriend and he freaked thinking that you were cheating on him with me."
Sam couldn't face him she had tears in her eyes, she turned away.
Danny lowered his voice "Sam I saw him shove you against the wall at Mysquite......... I saw the bruises on your arms...... I heard him threaten you......how can you let him do that to you?"
Sam was staring out the window onto the strip she loved watching the thousands of people walk by day and night, she sometimes wished she could switch lives with strangers, she knew any other life wouldn't be as bad as hers. Sam had to face reality and she turned back to Danny "Danny, cant you just leave it alone?"
"I'm sorry Sam, but I cant just 'leave it alone'......how often does he hit you?" Danny asked trying to sound calm
"He doesnt abuse me like you think"
Danny was confused "What do you mean?"
Sam just looked at him silently
"Come on Sam, don't make this harder than it already is"
"Danny if I tell you,.........can you promise that your not going to tell anyone?" Sam eyed him carefully
Danny was taken back "Sam I'm not sure that I......"
Sam cut him off "Please, Danny I trust you and I really need your help"
Danny looked in her eyes and knew this was hard for her "Uh yeah sure"
Sam shook her head "Promise me.........., you wont tell anyone not even Ed or Mary or the cops" Sam kept her eye on Danny while she walked back to the couch.
Danny became worried and knew he would regret it, but he couldn't say no "I Promise" Danny sat down next to Sam on the couch and faced her.
Sam took in a deep breath and exhaled it slowly, she still had pain in her stomach from when Josh kicked her, but she didn't show it.. Sam put her emotions in check. And faced Danny "where do you want me to start?."
"From the beginning" Danny told her
"OK...I met Josh at Mesquite, about six months ago....he asked for my number and I guess we hit it off." Sam started "he fell for me and I never thought it was possible, but I fell for him also....."
Danny's heart fell when he heard her say that she fell for him.
Sam continued "He's such a gentleman and attractive and he appreciated me, until a couple months ago"
Danny was listening to Sam's story intently, when she didn't continue he urged her "Sam, what happened a couple months ago?"
Sam tried to hold back the tears, "Uh..Josh started to drink a lot because he was under a lot of stress at work and thats when he started to control me.......from the way I dress, my job, who my friends are...." Sam looked around the room "...to my living arrangements....I know stupid, but I was in love with him and he was in love with me so i went along with it."
Danny had anger boiling inside of him "Was that when he started to hit you?"
Sam shook her head "No, No, let me finish.....remember last month when Mr. Davis and his wife came into town?"
Danny searched his head "Yeah, the whales you lost to Mandaly Bay?"
"Right, well, the night when Mr. Davis came into town I was at Josh's apartment and we were supposed to spend the night together, I totally forgot about Mr, Davis until he called me and well I had to leave right away, you know he was a really important client and my job is so important to me"
Danny nodded his head showing her that he was understanding and he held her hand.
Sam let Danny hold her hand and she let the tears fall freely having no strength to hold them back any longer " Josh was drinking a lot that night and......he wouldnt let me leave, I got so scared thinking he was going to hit me or something, but it was much worse..." Sam was now sobbing. " God, I tried so hard to get away from him, but ........he was so strong"
Danny felt a lump form in his throat and he felt tears form in his eyes
Sam pulled her hand away from Danny's "He raped me" she said almost in a whisper.
