Chapter Three (Final Chapter)
Three
days after she had tried to call Jason, Sam finally gained the
courage she so desperately needed and dialed Jason's phone number.
The phone rang three times then the machine picked up again.
"If
it's Friday night, I'm at the foot ball game and first thing
Saturday, if it don't rain, I'll be out at the lake and I'll be
gone for the whole weekend. But I'll call you back, when I get home
sometime on Sunday. And P.S. if this is Sam, I still love you."
Sam
was about to hang up but she stopped and said, "Jase, call me
303-512-7459." Sam only hoped Jason would know it was her, after
all, she didn't leave her name.
Sunday night, Jason
walked into his penthouse, set down his keys and hit the play button
on the answering machine. Two messages from his father, one from his
sister, and one from… 'No it can't be true' Jason thought to
himself. He replayed the message.
"Oh my god, Sam!" Jason
whispered in utter shock.
He quickly wrote the number down that
she had left and dialed it. Two rings rang out and then the phone was
answered…"If you're calling about my heart, it's still yours.
I should have listened to it some more. Then it wouldn't have taken
me so long, to know where I belong. And by the way Jase, this isn't
a machine you're talking to. Can't you tell? This is Sam and I
still love you," Sam said, just before the tears in her eyes began
to fall.
Just as Jason was about to reply, he heard a knock on the
door. He opened it slowly, expecting to see Sonny.
"Sam, I miss
you so much," Jason said into the phone.
As Jason opened the
door, he saw the woman he loved leaning against the elevator wall.
Sam smiled through her tears as she jumped into Jason's welcoming
arms.
"I miss you to Jason. So much," Sam whispered as she
kissed Jason.
Jason's eyes filled with tears as he tenderly
kissed Sam, "Please Sam, promise me that you will never ever leave
me again."
Sam pulled back from Jason and he set her down on the
couch. She grabbed his hands in her own and looked into his eyes,
"Never again Jason Morgan. Never again."
With that Jason
picked Sam up and carried her upstairs as the stars shone brightly
though the windows.
