Chapter Five

It was 7:49; Sam was pacing back and forth around her house, trying to lose the nervousness that was quickly taking her body over. She had taken Melanie down to Carly shortly before she started to get ready at 6:30. She did this to make sure Jason didn't catch a glimpse of her in her pale green, low cut dress until their date later that night.

All of a sudden, tears welled up in Sam's eyes as she thought about Melanie, this was the first time she ever left Melanie with someone, hell, this was the first time Sam had gone on a date since that night. She thought back to when she took Melanie down to Carly, she cried when she handed her baby over to her, and was now crying because she already missed her daughter.

A knock was heard on her door and Sam quickly checked herself in her mirror, and wiped her eyes, before casually opening the door, well as casually as she could be at the moment.

As Jason saw Sam open the door, he was amazed to see how beautiful she was, wearing her beautiful pale green dress, with pale green stilettos to match and her hair was around her shoulders, "You look beautiful Sam."

"Thank you Jason, you look amazing too," Sam replied, trying her hardest not to blush.

Jason then stuck his hand out and Sam took it, and together they slowly walked to the elevator. All the time, each one thinking about how this date would go.

"This place is amazing Jase, it's hard to believe that it used to look like a shack," Sam said.

"Yeah, Carly worked really hard on it, she always said 'Sam and I were always wanting to open our own place for people to come and hang out', lord, if you would have been here, she wouldn't have made Sonny or me do any of the helping with this place that we had to do when it first opened," laughed Jason.

Sam laughed too. Wondering what life would have been like if Sam would have stayed in Port Charles with Carly…would she have met Jason? Sam shook her head, she wouldn't have been raped either, but she wouldn't have her Melanie either.

They continued their conversation, up until Sam's cell phone rang. She looked at the caller ID, figuring it was Greenlee again, trying to reach her, of course Sam never answered. But when she looked at the phone, she saw Carly's name on it. Sam immediately picked it up, "Carly? What's wrong?" she almost shouted.

Within 20 seconds, Sam screamed, dropped her phone and ran out the door crying.
