Sam stood on the empty pier, it was a warm night but there was still a chill. She wasn't sure if it was the night or a chill from what she was about to do. A couple of times in the last minute she wanted to run and forget about it all because it was the last thing she wanted but it had to be done.

" I hope I didn't pull you away from anything important." Sam said as Jason walked toward her.

" You didn't. Why did you want to meet me here?" Jason asked. He was still upset with her, he could've stayed home but the nagging feeling of something might be wrong made him come to the pier. Sam had to have reason to meet late at night.

" Always right to the point. Give me a damn minute." Sam said as she placed her hands in her pockets. She was still going over exactly what she was going to say and what it would mean in the end.

" You're nervous."

" Nervous?"

" Your hands in your pockets, you keep shifting your weight. Signs that you're nervous." Jason explained as he continued to watch her.

" I should kill you for the simple fact you know to much. It's too damn bad I like you too much to kill you." Sam explained. Her words just reminded her more of what was to come. What she was feeling every time she looked at him, it should've stopped at liking him but it kept going.

Jason realized she was avoiding him, she was standing in front of him but looking everywhere but at him. " Sam what's going on?"

Sam took a deep breath, no turning back, it has to be done this way. " I'm going to be in town for awhile and it would be best if we didn't see each other. You have your life and I have mine. We might run into each other but it doesn't mean we have to act like friends or something because we're not. It's better for me and my business if you stay away." she explained as she kept looking down at the water.

" Bullshit."

Sam finally looked up to his face. " Jason--?"

" I'm sure you have your reasons for wanting that now but there's more to it then what you said. What's really going on?" Jason asked.

She should've known it wouldn't have been easy but it was harder then she imagined. " I don't have to explain myself to you Jason. Just stay away from me." Sam explained as she started to walk away.

But no such luck, Jason grabbed her arm. Putting them right in front of each other. Closer then they should've been. " I'm not letting you walk away from me that easy." he softly said.

" Why? Shouldn't you be at home with Ms. Morgan?" Sam asked as she met his eyes, it was inevitable.

" Stop using that every time you get uncomfortable. This is about you and me." Jason explained.

" There is no you and me. Let me go Jason." Sam demanded with her voice more shaky then attended. With each passing second her breathing became ragged, her skin grew warm.

" Talk to me Sam. I'm not letting you go till you do." Jason explained.

This time it was different between them, serious. In the past it was business and a certain friendship but nothing deep. Since they saw each other at Kelly's it became serious. But what was so different about this time? Jason wondered. Why did he feel so much when he was around her?

Sam knew why it was different for her, that's why she had to go. " Jason I already told you the truth you just don't want to believe it. We've grown apart into different worlds and now it's time to move on." she explained.

" It never use to be so easy for you to lie to me." Jason pointed out.

" You think this is easy? And I'm not lying." Sam explained. She breathed a sigh of relief when Jason's phone began to ring. He let her go and answered it. She used that time to take two steps back.

" I need to go." Jason said once he placed his phone back in his pocket. " But this isn't over Sam." he promised before he left.

" It never is." Sam softly whispered to herself. But she needed it to be over.

" Late night talks with Morgan, what's going on?" Sam heard being said behind her causing her to turn around.

" Oh you. Question, why are you telling Faith, my employee, what to do Lorenzo?" Sam asked as she crossed her arms.

" Faith's lying, I didn't tell her anything. We just talked and she went on and on about how she wanted Corinthos to pay." Lorenzo explained.

" She's off that train. Right now her job is to do nothing and be pretty, nothing else so stay away from her." Sam explained.

" You don't have to tell me twice. I'm the oldest, funny you tell me what to do." Lorenzo pointed out to his little sister.

" Yeah but I have more power. You just got into the game Mr. History Professor. How's Sage?" Sam asked.

" She's good. The same I guess." Lorenzo explained.

" You need to spend more time with her. I saw her a couple of days ago, she's trying to act like everything's fine but she misses her father." Sam explained about her only niece.

" I know. Back to my question, what's going on with you and Jason?" Lorenzo asked.

" Nothing for you to know. Stay out of it and stay away from him." Sam explained.

" You're too close to the enemy."

" Enemy?"

" He works for Corinthos." Lorenzo pointed out, saying the name left a bad taste in his mouth.

" We're brother and sister but not business partners. Whatever you have against Sonny, leave me out of it. But I'm telling you to leave Jason alone. You don't want to cross that line Lorenzo." Sam explained in a tone that let him know what she was thinking.

" I would never do anything to hurt you and I see that Morgan means something to you. Is that such a good idea?" Lorenzo asked, growing worried for his little sister.

" No it's not a good idea but I can't change that fact that he does mean something. A lot of something."
