Sam walked through the door of the penthouse, hanging on to the frame to keep herself steady.
"Alright, easy there Sam." Ric said, his voice laced with concern.
"I'm f- fine." Sam slurred.
"Yeah, I'm sure you are."
"What is going on? Ric, what did you do to Sam? I swear to G-d, if you hurt her I'll.."
"Shut up, Jason," Sam muttered. Jason looked at her shocked.
"Sam, are you alright?"
"Why Jason, you care?" She asked sarcastically.
'Of course I care!" Jason said with shocked conviction.
"Jason, why don't we go outside and talk while Reese gets Sam settled down." Jason reluctantly followed Ric out the door, closing it behind him.
"Okay Ric, what do you want, what did you do to her?"
"Nothing, Jason. It's you who has hurt her!"
"Me!" Jason asked, shocked.
"Yes, you! If you would get our ass out of Carly's problems for one g-d damn minute, maybe, just maybe, you'd realize you're breaking Sam's heart." Ric started out yelling, but he became scarily quiet towards the end of his rant. Jason remained silent, no longer able to deny the truth – to Ric or himself.
"Oh man, what did I do?" Jason whispered to himself.
"It's not what you did that matters now, it's what you will do."
"I hate to say it, but you're right."
"I know," Ric said with a smirk. "Now get in there and fix it, before she breaks for good." Jason nodded and turned to the door.
"Oh, and Jason. Don't tell Sonny about Reese and me, okay."
"Believe me, Sonny is going to be the farthest thing from my mind for a long time." Jason said with a smile. "And Ric, thanks. For getting Sam home and, um, well, everything."
"No problem." They looked at each other with a new understanding.
