Chapter 14

Sam was shocked by Carly's question, she hadn't been expecting something like that.

" I'll admit that I still love Jason, and I do think he still had feelings for me but I know that he's married" Sam answered.

" He and Courtney may be married but they don't love each other. I'm sure at some point they did but not anymore. The past few months haven't been good for them. It wouldn't surprise me at all if Jason did still love you."

"Why do you say that?" Sam asked wondering is Jason had mentioned something to her.

" Well I only met Jason about a year and a half after you left town but even them you could see how much Jason missed and loved you. He never talked about it much but one day I walked in on him and I saw that he was looking at a picture, of course ot was a picture of you. I wanted to know more about the woman that he loved so much, when he was telling me about you he was so happy but then he remembered that you were gone and got quiet. I actually think that you guys should give it another try."

"Why are you being so nice?" Sam asked, It seemed strange that she would encourage her and Jason to get back together.

"Why wouldn't I be, I have no reason not to be. I'm not a bitch, well not all the time anyway." Carly answered after taking a drink of coffee.

" I know, but your Courtney's sister-in-law and she's married to your best friend, you guys have to be close. Why would you be encouraging some other woman to try and start a relationship with her husband?" Sam asked, still not understanding Carly.

"Yes I am close with Courtney and she is married to Jason, and I think I was more happy when they got married then they were but I also want them to be happy. Anyone can see that they arn't happy together and haven't been in a long time. I love Jason and I want him to be happy and I know that you make him happy." Carly explained

"Thank you Carly." Sam said, glad that she had this conversation with her.

"No problem, now I've got to go pick up me boys. I'll see you later"

"See ya." Sam said feeling much better.

"You can't be serious Jason" Courtney said still not completely over the shock of what Jason just said.

" I am Courtney. We've been discussing it for a few weeks now, and you and I both know we haven't been happy for awhile."

"We've had our problem Jason but we can try and work them out."

"No Courtney we can't. Before Sam came back you felt the same way. The longer we stay together the more unhappy we'll both be." Jason said hoping Courtney would eventually see it his way.

" This is all because of her isn't it. She came back here to ruin our marriage." Courtney said while feeling her anger towards Sam build up.

" You know as well as I do that she didn't come back here to ruin our marriage. I haven't been fair to you since we got married Courtney. I thought when I met you I'd finally be able to forget about Sam and stop loving her. For the longest time I actually believed I had. I thought I had finally stopped loving her but when I saw her again I relized that I had never stopped."

"You just think that Jason, she probably professed her love for you expecting you to do the same." Courtney said, running out of excuses to stop him from leaving her.

" Your right about one thing, she did tell me that she still loves me and I told her I still love her to. I know that I love her Courtney. Now we can do this nice and easy, we can call Justus and get him to draw us up divorce papers and get this over with or we can make it hard on ourselves and probably end up hating each other by the time it's over."

" All right, I'll give you what you want, but don't think that I'm going to stop loving you. I'll always love you Jason" Courtney said feeling defeated. She may have given in for now but she would come up with something to make Jason change his mind.

Jason ignored her last comment.

"Okay, I'll call Justus." Jason said then headed for the door. Before he opened it he turned around. "Oh and I think it would be best if you move out as soon as possible." with that Jason left and Courtney was all alone.

After Carly left Sam got a call from Emily. She wanted Sam to come over to the Quartermaines and have lunch with them. Em told her they were looking forward to seeing her again. Sam agreed but she felt nervous about it.

An hour later Sam was standing in front of the door. She let out a deep breath and knocked on the door. A few second Alice opened the door.

"Hello Ms.McCall. Come on in. " Alice said

"Thanks Alice"

"Emily is waiting for you in the living room."

"Thanks, I'll see you later." Sam said then headed for the living room.

"Sam you made it. I thought maybe you's decide not to come. Although I wouldn't really blame you" Emily said with a laugh.

" Even thought the thought crossed my mind I decided it would be best for me to come. After all your parents were good to me while I was staying with Jason."

"Well now that you've arrived, lets go to the dining room where everyone is waiting."

"All right lets get going." Sam said wanting this to be over

"Sam, it's so good to see you" Monica said as she made her way over to give Sam a hug.

"It's great to see you too."

"what no hug for me" Alan asked

Sam walked over and gave him hug. Maybe this wouldn't be as bad as she thought. She went over and took her seat.

" I heard about Lila, I'm so sorry. She was such a great person. I really missed her."

"Thank you, She liked you too, and she missed you when you left" Edward said.

"So what kind of trouble did you get yourself into?" Tracy asked

Maybe it would be as bad as she thought.

" Excuse me, Why would you think I was in some kind of trouble." Sam asked

"Well there has to be a reason for you coming back"

"No actually I just decided that I wanted to come back, is there something wrong with that?" Sam said back, not in the mood for listening to Tracy although she expected it.

Before Tracy got a chance to say anything more Alan started top talk.

"So where have you been staying since you got back?" Alan asked

"I've been staying at Kelly's"

"And do you plan on living there?"Tracy asked

"No I don't, I'm soon going to go look for a place."

"Well Jason's isn't available anymore." Tracy added

"I know that" Sam said wishing she had decided to stay home

They finished their dinner, and by the time Sam was ready to leave she was tired. she had spent most of the time defending herself to Tracy, she know remembered why she didn't like her.

" Well I should be going. Thanks so much for lunch, it was good to see you all again." Sam said while taking her jacket from Alice.

"It was good to see you to, I hope to see you again soon." Monica said

"Yes I'll try and come around more often."

Everyone said their good byes and Sam headed back to Kelly's.

When she got back up to her room she saw that she had a message. It was from Jason.

Hey Sam, I was just calling you to let you know how things went with Courtney. I'll stop by later on and we can talk then. I love you, Bye.

Sam relized that she had a huge smile on her face after hearing his message. He couldn't wait until later when she would get to see him again. After spending a few hours with the Quartermaines it drained all the energy from her, she needed to see a refreshing face.

Carly was coming off the elevator with Michael and Morgan when she saw Courtney.

"Hey Court." Carly said

"Hey, um Carly do you have some time. I need to talk to you.?" Courtney asked. She knew if anyone could help her get back Jason it would be Carly.

"Sure, Michael will you take Morgan in. Tell Leticia I'll be over soon okay."

"Alright mom" Michael said then went inside with his little brother.

Calry and Courtney went inside to talk.

"Whats up" Carly asked

"Jason wants a divorce. I think he's gone to talk to Justus about it now."

"Oh" was all Carly could say

"Yeah, Carly you've got to help me get him back. I know he's only dong this because of that trap Sam." Courtney almost begged

"Courtney I can't help you. Jason dosen;t love you anymore. He loves Sam and she loves him"

"You can't be serious, your taking her side on this" Courtney said as her anger came through her voice.

"I'm not taking anybodys side. You know as well as I do that you and Jason haven't been happy for months now. You guys getting a divorce would be best for the both of you. He can be happy with Sam and you'll be happy and you'll eventually find someone else who will make you happy." Carly explained.

"If you won't help me I'll find someone else who will" Courtney said before she stormed out of the pent house.

"This isn't going to be pretty" Carly said before she let herself out and headed back home.
