The Torture

Chapter 2

Jason had spent a couple of hours talking with Sam at Kelly's; he wanted to take her mind off the pain she was dealing with. But when they parted ways he wasn't sure if he had helped her at all.

He glanced at the clock on the nightstand; it was nearly two in the morning. But he couldn't sleep all he could do was lay there and think. Think about his own sad life, things were going nice with Elizabeth but that was it, he had no real home no job, nothing to call his.

As Lucky's thought's went back to the fact it was two in the morning he heard a thump coming from downstairs. He really wouldn't be able to sleep now until he checked it out. He rose from the bed and quietly tip toed down the stairs case, his eyes alert.

Nothing seemed out of place but just as Lucky turned to head back to his room, he heard the thump again. The sound led him closer to the door; he looked but still saw nothing. "Great Spencer now you're going crazy." He said resting his hands on his hips and took another look around. His eyes landed on one of the booths, he walked over to it knowing there was no danger.

He bent down and whispered. "Wake up Sam." He brushed the hair away from her face as she opened her eyes. "What are you doing here?"

"I couldn't go home." Sam answered.

"How did you get in?" He asked now because he had made sure to lock everything up.

"I'm good at picking locks." Sam admitted with a small smile as she sat up. "Now I'm busted." She said as he eyes landed on him.

"I heard a sound, your feet here hitting the wall. I was awake so I came down to check it out." Lucky explained. "If you didn't want to go home why didn't you say anything?" he wanted to know.

"Because you listened to me whine for hours without complaining, I didn't want to add to that. I'm sure I'm making you sick by now." Sam said. Lucky was such a nice guy but it was unfair for her to just lay her problems on him.

"You're not making me sick." Lucky said as he stood up. "Come on." He extended his hand to Sam and helped her up. "If we stay down here we'll wake everyone up." He explained as he led her up to his room.

"You really don't have to go out of your way for me." Sam said as she watched him close the door. But a part of Sam was glad Lucky wanted to help and hear her, that's what she wanted, was for someone to listen to her.

Have a seat." Lucky said motioning to the bed as he sat in an empty chair. "Tomorrow if you want I'll talk to Bobbie and get you a room here until you can go home." He offered.

"I don't know if I can ever go back there. It reminds me of everything Jason and I were and what we could've been. Now it all feels like lies when I think back to those times he promised he'd always be there and when he said he loved me." Sam said as she felt the pain sharpen again. She just wanted to stop thinking about it but every time she tried it got worse.

"Sam I don't doubt Jason loves you so you shouldn't either." Lucky said, he wasn't a fan of Jason's but he knew when he loved someone he truly loved them.

"I don't know what to think anymore." Sam groaned as she lay back against the bed. She was so tired that all her thoughts ran together.

Lucky knew she was asleep and that's what she needed so relax. He stood from the chair and placed a blanket over her. They didn't really know each other but he was hoping to change that. He wanted to help her in any way he could.

The next morning Lucky's eyes opened when there was a knock on the door, he was glad he locked it last night since he wasn't alone. As he stood from the floor his body ached all over. Sam sat up in the bed and looked at him as he walked over to the door. "Who is it?" he asked.

"It's me."

Lucky felt his eyes get wider at the sound of Elizabeth's voice. Sam's eyes got wide as well before she jumped from the bed and hid. Lucky opened the door and smiled at his somewhat girlfriend. "Hey." He said before lightly kissing her on the lips.

"I didn't wake you did I?" Elizabeth asked worried she had.

"No it's fine, what's up?" Lucky asked wondering why she was there so early.

"I just wanted to come and say sorry in person. I have to cancel tonight, work calls." Elizabeth said with a slight frown, it seems all she did with Lucky was cancel dates.

"It's ok really and kind of good because I have something to take care of today." Lucky explained.

"Like what?" Elizabeth glad asked, glad to hear Lucky was doing something.

"I don't want to say yet, I don't want to jinx it."

"Ok well I hope whatever it is works out for you. I have to get going, I'll call you later." Elizabeth said before kissing him goodbye and leaving.

Lucky closed the door and locked it once more. "Thanks." He said to Sam once she came out the closet.

"It's the least I could do. I know it wouldn't have been easy explaining why I was here." Sam said as she crossed her arms. "Sorry for taking your bed."

"It's ok the floor is more comfortable then its given credit for." Lucky joked, glad to see the little smile on her face. "How are you feeling?"

"Better. Thanks for all your help but I should go and let you get on with your life." Sam said and with each word she got closer to the door.

"Sam---" Lucky called out but she left anyway.
