Chapter 9
Sam was sitting on the plane holding onto the locket that Jason had given her, heading back to the place which she had left almost ten years ago. She and Jason had kept in contact for over a year, and then it just slowly stopped. Sam had never stopped loving Jason although she knew he had.She had a few boyfriends but none of them could ever replace what she had with Jason. Her mom made sure that Sam knew everything that was going on in Port Charles. If she wouldn't take the call her mom would tell her aunt and in some way her aunt always managed to fit it into conversation. She knew that Jason had gotten involved with Sonny Corinthos and that just over a year ago he had married Sonny's sister Courtney Matthews.
A couple years ago Sam didn't think that she would ever go back to P.C but for the past few months it had been in the back of her head to go back. At first it started out that she would just go back for a little vacation and catch up with some of her few friends who had actually stayed in Port Charles. Then the more and more she though about it she really did miss it, and she was getting tired of her same old life in England. Her aunt Grace had died almost two years ago and she had never made a whole lot of friends, other then her job she had no reason to stay, thats when she made plans to move back.
Jason started seeing Courtney about two years ago. They got married shortly before their first anniversary. For the past six months things between hadn't been good. Jason was surprised things had lasted as long as they had. Jason had started working for Sonny about 8 years ago, and Courtney had told Jason that his job didn't bother her and he believed her. Shortly after they got married Courtney started trying to change Jason. She hated what he did and she would try to make him feel bad about it so he would quite his job. All it did was drive him further away from her.
He had never been able to forget about Sam. Other then Courtney he had only been with one other person since Sam left. Her name was Elizabeth Webber. She had come to town not to long after Sam had left, she was a few months younger then him and had become good friends with Emily. Their relationship hadn't lasted, they relized they were better of as friends, which they still were.
Since no one knew that Sam was planning on coming back she didn't have a place to stay. She decided she would go and get a room above Kelly's. She looked into the doors of Kelly's, it looked like a pretty slow night tonight, hopefully there would be a room for rent.
"Excuse me, I was wondering is you had any rooms for rent" she asked the man behind the counter.
The man turned around and it turned out to be Mike, she couldn't believe he still worked here.
"Is that really you Sam, I never though I'd see you again" he said with a huge smile on his face. He had always liked Sam.
"Yeah it's me, I wasn't planning on ever coming back but I couldn't resist." she said glad to see a friendly face she knew from her past.
" Well I'm sure alot of people will be glad, and your in luck we have on available room" he leaned over and got the key for her
" That great, Thank you so much" she said as took the key.
She went straight upstairs to unpack a few things, she planned on staying here for awhile before she went apartment hunting.
Jason had just left the pent house , he had just finished having another fight with Courtney. They were becoming more and more frequent. Little arguments would turn into fights and some how she would always manage to fit his work into it. Tonight she had told him that she didn't think they would last much longer, and she was right. Ever since he left the pent house he had been thinking about a divorce. It would be the best for them both. It was late Febuary and it was still pretty cold out, he decided he would head to Kelly and get some coffee to warm him up.
Sam had finished unpacking about 10 minutes ago and was soon going to head to bed, she had a long flight and was really tired. Since she almost always had coffee before she went to bed she decided tonight should be no different, she headed downstairs to get herself a nice hot cup of coffee.
He had been sitting there starring of into space when he noticed a petite brunette at the counter, he hadn't notice her come in she must have been staying upstairs. Still to this day when he saw a petite brunette Sam immediately came into his mind. He had gotten his hopes up so many time the first few years after she left , he cursed himself every time. He still couldn't stop himself he still got his hopes up but he knew that after all this time she would never come back.
Sam thanked Mike for the cup of coffee and she turned around to see Jason looking right at her. She immediately froze, she couldn't believe it. She knew that she would eventually rum into but did it have to be tonight. She couldn't help but look right back, he looked almost the same as he remembered him. She finally relized that she hadn't moved in what seemed like an hour and Jason looked like he just saw a ghost. she slowly made her way over to the table where he was sitting.
"Hi" she said not really knowing what else to say.
"Um.. Hi" he said not believing she was actually standing right there in front of him.
"Would you like to sit down?" he asked her
"I would love to"
