Bella 24

Sam lay in bed staring out the window the weather had been warm lately but that was the only warmth she had felt for weeks since her miscarriage. She had become despondent and quiet, and had taken the last two weeks of off work and didn't want to have anything to do with anyone, especially Jason, she felt like she had let him down in the worse way of all, with the loss of their child. At her urgency she made him move out, and refused to have any contact with him whatsoever. Just a look in his eyes made her feel ashamed.

The phone began to ring no doubt it was Jason calling her for the hundredth time today to profess his undying love for her. Looking over at it she unplugged it and then shoved it off the end of the table as it crashed onto the floor below along with their picture that was next to her every night. Turning over she started to cry

Back in Port Charles...

Jason stood staring out the window of his old apartment in Port Charles, it had been a few months now since he had seen Sam and he missed her. A few weeks after the loss of their baby she all but told him goodbye, she blamed herself for the loss of their baby and didn't want to have anything to do with him. It took everything in her to make him leave but she couldn't look at him and even though he wouldn't admit it he had a hard time with the loss. Around that time Courtney had called saying that Abigail had missed her daddy and wanted to see him, he took the opportunity to come back here, but his heart was a million miles away across the Atlantic ocean.

With the loss of the baby and the loss of Sam in his life he hit an all time low and after a few drinks one night slept with Courtney out of desperation and loneliness for Sam he turned to her for comfort, and soon after found out that she was pregnant. Courtney was elated and had come to conclusion that she indeed wasn't ready to give up Jason as she stood watching him from the steps in the penthouse she was jealous and enraged even though she was pregnant with his kid, Jason wouldn't respond to her, was just merely existing from day to day without Sam. Courtney would do anything to keep him even if that meant telling Sam that he wasn't here when she called looking for him.

"How are we doing today?" Gemma asked

"Fine." Sam said looking out the window. It had been almostten months since she had last seen Jason and little by little, day by day, she was dying without him. She had called Lorenzo and he said that he seen Courtney and Jason together at the hospital, and that she was pregnant about 6 months along. They were living together and that Abigail was elated at the prospect of having her daddy with her and a new baby on the way. In other words to Sam it seemed that Jason was getting the kids he had always wanted, only not with her and she had no one to blame but herself for that.

"I'm leaving Bella."

"What? Why?"

"I need to get out of Florence Gemma, and I think you know why."

"Have you talked with Anthony yet?"

"Not yet I am going to see him in a few minutes."

"Sam, I hope you know what you are doing."

"I do, and besides it doesn't matter. Jason's ex-wife Courtney is pregnant with his child." She said with tears in her eyes. "It wasn't meant to be Gemma, and I can either fight it or live with it, I choose the latter, And I need to get on with my life and forget about Jason Morgan."

"Hey, you needed to talk with me?" Anthony said peering inside her office.

"Yeah, I do." She said looking at Gemma who got the message and left her office.

" Shoot." He said waiting to for her to say something.

"I'm quitting Bella, Anthony. I need to get as far away from Florence as I can."

"Why? Is it because of Jason?"

"No, Its just time for me to move on and I need to do it."

"Sam you are our number one photographer, where do you plan on going?"

"Hawaii."

"Well, you know you could still work for us, out of Hawaii."

"Thank you for the offer, but no, I just need a break and a chance to catch my breath and get my life back on track."

"So, how soon will you be leaving?"

"Within the next two weeks."

"Okay, I am not to pleased with your decision though, but I understand why you need to get away from here, even if you won't admit it to yourself."
