Chapter 6
Jason knew that he would be home by tomorrow morning. Just being able to see her after two days was long enough away from her. He could feel her touch on him as he shut his eyesenvisioning her as his wife. He also knew that the fishing business was something he was going to have to give up because he simply didn't want to be this far away from her. He couldn't believe how fast his life had changed just over the past few days. Smiling to himself he remembered pulling the truck off the side of the road to have his first kiss with her. Her lips and her whole being embodied him. She felt so right, This felt so right.
Tuesday afternoon came and went very uneventfully. Sam was sitting at the nook when the phone started to ring.
"Hello?" Sam said
" Hey this is me Jason." He said.
" Hi. Where are you?" She asked
" Im still on the boat down south of Mexico, I just wanted to call you and let you know that I would be home tomorrow morning." He said.
" I love you Jason and I miss you like crazy."
" I love you too babe,I have to go, bye," He said hanging up the phone, wanting so badly to return home.
" Bye."
After hanging up the phone she felt100 better,walking out to the patio she grabbed her dinner and went and sat back down taking the phone with her. Just as she was cutting her chicken breast the phone began to ring again. Reaching she picked it up.
" Jason.." She said with a smile on her face anxiously waiting to here is sexy voice.
" And just who the hell is Jason?" Sonny demanded to know. " Sam!" He screamed into the phone. "Why haven't you returned any of my messages?"
" Because we are through Sonny you said so yourself." Sam said.
" You will do what I say when I say it. I asked you to call me back two days ago. I want you Sam. Carly is out of town and I need some."
" Well, then you are going to have to find it somewhere else Sonny. I am not some piece of ass whenever you feel the need to sow your oats with. You have Carly for that. Go to her." Sam said.
" Oh yes you are you are mine to do whatever I want to with." Sonny seethed on the other end of the phone.
" This conversation is over." Sam said and hung up suddenly fearing what might happen.
Walking through her house she made sure everything was locked and the alarm was on. Then she headed up the stairs to her bedroom to get ready for bed. Looking around outside she didn't see anyone or in particular Sonny. Coming in she locked the sliding doors and closing the curtains that usually stayed open all the timethen got into bed. Laying there she couldn't form a single thought. Just how awful Sonny sounded he was enraged and drunk or both. Trying to fall asleep proved to be quite a feat in and of itself, she for once was terrified at what might happen if Sonny wanted to make good on his threats, tossing and turning continually throughout the night as it seemed to drag on forever. As Jason looked out over the water, he felt the urgency to get home not quite knowing why he just knew that he had to get to Sam.
Around 6:00 amshewas woken up by pounding on the front door. Opening her bedroom door she heard Sonny screaming obscenities. Walking downstairs she hesitated to open the door but thought that to be the best thing to do as to not wake up the neighbors. Sam never thought in a million years that what happened next would. Going to the door she turned off the alarm and told Sonny to pipe down. She unlocked the door and he forced his way in. Grabbing her by the neck and throwing her to the ground. She hit her head on the bottom of the staircase and reaching up she touched where she hit pulling her hand away from the spot there was blood and she passed out for how long she didn't know. Drifting in and out of consciousness she felt him take her hands and bind them together. Looking back over at him momentarily she saw that he had a bottle of whiskey that he was nursing. He was crazed and out of control. Glancing briefly over at the clock she noticed it was around 7:45 am.
" I'll teach you a lesson you won't soon forget." Sonny said in the most evil voice she had ever heard.
Walking over to her her pushed her onto the bed and started forcing his way onto her. She screamed loudly and when he went to put his hands over her mouth she bit him hard. He completely lost it as he started to fully overthrow her with his body. She once again screamed loud and clear, the loudest she could, Jason just getting out of his truck had wanted to see Sam before going home, to make sure everything was okay with her, and thus being able to put the thought that something had possibly happened to her to rest,upon hearing her scream her made a beeline for the front door of her house, it was then that he saw that the door was ajar.
" Shut up Sam," He screamed at her.
Jason ran up the stairs and entered into the bedroom just as Sonny was positioning himself over her. Seeing Sam bound by her hands he ran up to him and pulled him off of her. Sonny was taken back in his drunken state as Jason made contact with his fist on Sonny's face. Thus knocking him out for a few minutes. Jason grabbed the phone and called the police and reported an attempted rape and that the suspect was temporily detained and still in the house. They told him they were on their way and that a squad car should be arriving any minute. Looking back behind him Sonny was out of it.
" Jason." Sam called out.
" I'm so sorry Sam, Im here and I am not ever leaving again." Jason said holding her close to him.
" That's what you think!" Sonny said holding a gun to her head. " She is mine all mine." He continued.
Jason lungedSonny,fighting for control of the gun as it went off Jason fell to the floor grabbing his left side
"Jason," she screamed as she ran to his side, he looked up at her, his eyes locking on hers, she reached out and touched the side of his face, then leaning down she kissed him, "I'm so sorry."
"Gunshot heard, send backup ASAP."
Sonny grabbed Sam by the hair and drug her to the entry way of her bedroom where he had the gun pointed at her head.
" Back off or she's dead." He screamed at the cops.
" You can't get away with this Mr. Corinthos."
Meanwhile Jason was coming to and could see that he had a clear view of Sam being held by this man who was trying to kill her. Looking around the room her spied a baseball bat in the corner. Shuffling without making to much noise he managed to get it without him even hearing it, as the cops tried to bargain withhim calling him Mr. Corinthos. He had heard that name before on the docks. All of a sudden he knew who they were referring to. Sonny Corinthos was one of the biggest crime lords on the West Coast. He is the one that called a few days ago and left the message on the machine for Sam that he had questioned. Snapping back to reality he knew that he had to save Sam. He couldn't risk losing the love of his life.Letting go of Sam momentarily to look around Jason cameup from behind and hit him with the bat, sending him to the ground.
"Jason!"
The paramedics made their way up the stairs with a stretcher. Bending down they found the gunshot wound in his left shoulder. While they tended him the cops asked her a myriad of questions about what had gone down between her and Sonny Corinthos. They took her statement and told her they would be in touch with her, then checked her head from where she hit it on the staircase. It didn't require stiches it would be able to heal on her own.
They moved Jason slowly and cautiously to the stretcher and made their way downstairs. Sam followed him outside to the van and got inside with him. Holding his hand she held it close to her cheek all the way there.
" I love you Jason, please be okay, I am so sorry for all of this," Sam said with tears in her eyes.
Once inside the ER they rushed him to surgery. Sam had to stay behind and wait.
" What are you doing here?" Elizabeth asked.
Sam looked at Elizabeth and told her what had happened between Sonny/Jason and herself. Elizabeth couldn't believe it but was so thankful that this Jason had stopped by otherwise something alot more serious could have happened.
" Can you see what is going on with him?" Sam asked.
" Yeah, I'll be right back," Liz said " Wait here."
" Yeah, okay." Sam said.
Elizabeth got prepped and went inside to where her brother Stephen had just finished up with the surgery to remove the bullet.
" How is he doing?" Liz asked.
" Do you know this man?" Stephen asked.
" Not me personally, Jason is Sam's boyfriend." Liz said.
A little while after she had come back from going down to the cafeteria she was informed that he had been moved into recovery and that she could go and see him, walking down the hall she walked into his room and over to him.
" Hey there."
" Sam."
" Thanks for saving my life," She said caressing the side of his face with her hand.
" Anytime. Come here," He said pulling her close.
Leaning into him he pulled her close for a kiss.
" I love you Sam McCall, I have been lost without you for the pasttwo days. I guess fishing isn't the life for me anymore." He said.
" I was hoping you would say that." Sam said with a smile. " Although, I didn't think it would be under these circumstances."
Jason wanted to know how she had ever gotten mixed up with the likes of Sonny Corinthos but now was not the time nor the place.
