Jason stood there as the door shut behind her. Sitting down on the cot he put his head in his hands and wept. He had never in a million years thought it would come to this, because if it had known this was going to happen he never would have dragged Sam along all this time. He was so in love with her and what he just did was beyond forgivable. Closing his eyes, he thought of her and the way she looked as he made love to her. The fire, the passion in her eyes for him always blew him away, but tonight, perhaps because he knew what was going to follow was even more jarring for him. He didn't want to leave his baby, the only woman in this world that completed him in every way.

Sam stepped out to the other side of the door and sank into the chair that had been placed there for people who where to sit and wait to see their loved ones. She however, just sat and wept at the mere thought of losing him forever to his loyalty to Sonny Corinthos. Never in all this time, did she ever feel so much hate for Sonny and Curly. It was as if they had led him right to the slaughter and being the man that Jason was, he would sacrifice himself for Michael so that he could live a life free from ridicule anything for that boy, whom he called his son.

Curly saw Sam come out and was determined to know what was going on.

"What is Jason doing?"

"You mean you don't know?" Sam snapped back

"What the hell does that mean?"

"Jason is once again paying the price for making sure you and the boys are safe and sound, and that Sonny gets away with murder."

"Does it bother you Sam that he is loyal to me and couldn't be bothered with you?"

"After what he just confessed to me, you better watch how you treat me Carly, because unlike Jason, you aren't going to push me around and get away with it. I want to talk to Sonny now." Sam yelled at her.

"Well, he doesn't have anything to say to you, you selfish bitch."

"Did I just tell you that you better watch what you say to me and how you do it?"

"What will you do Sam? You no longer have Jason around to protect you."

"You're right Carly, but neither do you, just remember that. He isn't going to be here to pick up all the pieces of your life when you screw up and believe me Carly you will, because you can't seem to get it through your head ever to stay out of trouble."

"You little bitch." She sneered at her just as she went to take a swing at Sam.

"Hey what the hell is going on?" Mack yelled.

"Well, from the looks of it, she is trying to assault me." Sam said turning to Carly.

"Mack, I demand that you tell me what is going on with Jason."

"No Mack, don't tell her anything. She doesn't deserve to know. And no visits either, if I have to stay here all night long to make sure she doesn't get in there to see him I will." Sam said.

"You can't do that."

"You have no idea what I can and cannot do Carly." She said looking at her. Sam was someone to be reckoned with and Carly thought she was the one for the job, little did she know, that the truth that Sam had in her clutches could take Carly down for good.

"Jason is my best friend, he loves me."

"You wish Carly. Does Jason feel obligated, yes. Love you, I highly doubt that. Unfortunately for you, you will never be the owner of his heart, because I am. And he owns mine, and no matter what you do, that will never change, ever. Mack, please get her out of here."

"You are conniving lil..."

Sam looked at her and shook her head, then walked over to the chair and sat down.

"Come on Carly." Mack said as he took her arm, she pulled it out of his grasp, then turning she looked back at Sam one last time before walking out the door.

Sam composed herself and walked back into where Jason was. He looked at her as she undid the clasp on the necklace, taking it off she handed it to him.

"I don't want this." She said handing it to him.

"Sam."

"No, I know where your loyalties lie now and they're not with me or us. Give it to Carly. She is the one you love and always will."

"I love you Sam I always will, you hold my heart and I hold yours."

"If you mean what you say, then tell Mack the truth."

"I can't." He said as he watched her, she took his hand in his as she caressed it, making a memory of it in her mind, she brought it to her lips and kissed it, she opened his hand and placed the necklace in it, just as a tear slid down her cheek and into his hand, then turning she walked out.
