A/N: Yeah, I know the Sam-boyfriend thing has been done to death, but I had
to write one.
Thank you, for the most lovely reviews.

Sam sniffed and tried to gain some composer in front of her friend. "Sorry to fall to pieces on you, like that" she said, as she wiped her eyes with a tissue.
"Sam, don't be sorry. It's not your fault. You don't deserve to be treated this way by him" Janet placed a comforting hand on her shoulder and handed her another tissue.
"God, I didn't think it would effect me this much" she whispered.
"Sam, I know this is not my place, but are you thinking of leaving Will?"
Sam bit her lip before she answered "I don't know Janet...I just don't know"
Janet decided not to push her any further "Look, its getting late. Why don't you stay here with us tonight? You don't have to go home, Sam. Give your self time to think and have some space away from him"
"Thanks Janet, but I already wrote him in a note saying I would be home soon. I better go"
"You know my offer is always open. If you need me for anything or if you just want to talk. Don't hesitate to call me, okay?" Janet said, while still concerned for her friend.
"I know and thank you for the strong coffee."
"Are you sure you don't want to stay?"
"Thanks Janet, but I will be okay" Sam replied, while getting up off the couch.
"You take care, alright? Janet got up to hug her friend
Sam nodded after the embrace and jingled her car keys in her hand nervously. "See you tomorrow at work" she said, as she smiled at Janet weakly.
After watching Sam's car pull away, Janet was left to hope for Sam's sake she would leave Will, before it was too late.
****
At Janet's, Sam found it was the first time she admitted out loud that her relationship with Will was disintegrating rapidly. She was finding she had lost all common ground with Will. He wasn't the same man as when she first met him four years ago.
Coming home, she found Will's car not in the driveway. She didn't bother to check her messages from their answering machine that was flashing at her, as she went past. Instead, she made her way straight to their bedroom whilst picking up an object from the mantle piece in the lounge. Sam sat down on the side of their double bed, staring down at a silver-plated photo frame in her hands that contained the two of them. Will hugging her from behind and them both smiling at the camera. She remembered it was his mysterious bluish-grey eyes that caught her attention when she had first met him. His long blond hair with a touch of brown running threw it. Some nights he would curl up on the couch and lay his head on her lap using her as a pillow while watching TV with the sound down and she would be reading a book, stroking his hair absently. Just peaceful and loving. Those nights were gone as soon as she started her new job at Cheyenne Mountain. Will was accepting at first with Sam's long hours but then came the lies with her constant absences and various injuries. Soon after bringing him to some night outs with her team and co-workers and even some barbecues brought out a change in him and it was these secrets that were weighing a toll on their relationship. Sam let out a sigh, as she knew that tonight Will would most likely give her an ultimatum. She knew she would have to make a decision.
****
Sam heard the sound of the front door opening and closing and the muffled sound which sounded like her name being called, telling her that Will was now back home.
Sam thought it would be better to see what mood Will was in before talking to him. It was rare that he would ever come home drunk. Walking into the lounge instead of finding Will, her eyes set upon a very distraught looking Daniel who was striding towards her.
"Daniel, what's happened?"
"Sam! I have been trying to get a hold of you! I left you a dozen messages. I just found out you were at Janet's" Daniel said, quickly.
"Yeah, I was. I just got home. I haven't had a chance to hear them. What's wrong?"
"Look Sam, there's been an accident. I am afraid its....its... Jack"
"Oh my God.." was all Sam managed to choked out.
