Someone like You 37
Just as Jason was walking back from the kitchen and Michael was coming down the stairs with his backpack when there was a knock on the door, as he made his way over to it he looked out and noticed the mailman on the other side of the door, opening it up he looked at him.
"I have a package for a Mr. Michael Morgan." He said looking at it as he looked up at Jason.
"That's me."
"There you go," handing it to him then smiled as Jason shut the door behind him, and walked over to Michael as he ripped into it as the both of them looked at it, a T-shirt and hat for him, picking up the letter that was addressed to Michael he gave it to him.
Dearest Michael,
I thought about you and your dad and wished that we were all together today watching the game together, the firm that I work for has box seats and well I couldn't pass up the opportunity to see them, the both of you are never far from our thoughts Justin asks about you constantly and misses his daddy as do I.
With all our love
Sam and Justin
Handing the letter to Jason...
"I think we might see her dad."
"Don't get your hopes up son."
"Why not?"
"I have already told you why."
"Because of her dad and Jack?"
"Yeah."
"You know what dad? Screw them." He said as he looked at him. "Do you love her or not?"
"With all my heart."
"Then what the heck is your problem? You never would let something like this stand in your way before."
"It's not as easy as you make it out to be buddy, I know you want her back, gd knows that I want that too, but we can't jeopardize the one thing she has left Michael. How would you feel if something we did would cause her to lose Justin?" He looked at him with caring eyes, "she has already lost enough Michael. First it was Zander, then the baby and now it is us, and we can't, no I can't just be Mr. Mob Enforcer and take someone out for our good pleasure, I have to believe that our love will win out in the end."
"So you keep saying, but what if she falls in love with someone else dad? What if her parents are telling her a bunch of crap, and she believes it because she doesn't have you there to tell her otherwise, what then?"
"Don't you think I think about that all the time? She is everything to me, I am literally stuck between a rock and a hard place Michael." He said rubbing his head.
Meanwhile...
"I am not going to beat around the bush Samantha; I want to see you tonight."
"No."
"Why, because of Morgan? I don't know if you know this or not but he has been going out with Courtney, I have seen them together."
"You are full of crap." She said looking directly at him.
"No I'm not."
Standing outside the building she looked away and nodded as a tear slid down her cheek as she wiped it with her hand, "I need to go." As he reached out and took her hand in his, "tell me you will have dinner with me tonight."
"No." She shook her head and walked away from him.
Getting inside her car she pulled out and started down the street to pick up Justin, fighting the tears that she couldn't stop from coming as she drove down the avenue, thinking about him.
Two days later...
Jason busily parked the car as Michael got out; stretching his legs it had been a long ride as he got out and looked around. Closing the door behind him he locked it then put his arm around Michaels shoulder, he was so excited to be here, the both of them were, and from the moment he started walking to toward the stadium he could feel her, as if he was bathing in her love.
Sam had waited three weeks for this day and she was raring to go, they had been on the road and back in the city now, she had lucked out this weekend, because no one had wanted to come with her, so basically she and Justin had the entire section to themselves, which was nice, there wasn't anything wrong with that, and besides she wanted to be alone.
Making her way to the south entrance she held Justin's hand in hers when she stopped dead in her tracks as she felt his presence, as if he was there. As she got up on her tippy toes to look over the crowd she couldn't see anyone who remotely looked like him.
"She's here, I can feel her here." Michael said looking up at Jason as he looked down at him with a tear in his eyes. "You can feel her to can't you?"
"Yes." As he made his way through the gate toward the inside of the stadium
Sam was just about to go through the gate just as her cell phone started ringing , looking down at it, she saw that it was Alicia, she grabbed Justin's hand and walked out of the line and took the call.
"Hey, I decided to join you at the game today. I will see you inside; I am parking the car as we speak."
"Okay."
About fifteen minutes after they had gotten something to drink, and found their seats, slightly disappointed that she would be here with her, she was hoping to have a few hours of peace to sort through the crap life had thrown her this week, first the pictures then Lorenzo.
"Hey Sam," Alicia waved her hand as she made her way towards her; sitting down she looked at Sam with a smile.
Meanwhile Jason and Michael had found their seats, as Jason had his eyes peeled looking for her, he could feel her presence but not as strongly and he wondered if it had been his imagination, as soon as the Yankees came out of their dugout Sam jumped to her feet and grabbing Justin started screaming at the top of her lungs as Jason felt her washing over him again, as Sam stood there she could feel him, his presence so close to her as a tear slid down her cheeks, Alicia looked at her.
"What's the matter Sam?"
"I can feel him here."
"What?"
"Jason."
"The man in the photos? The one with the blonde?"
"Yes." She cried
"Who is he Sam? And what does he mean to you?"
"He is the love of my life, and he means the world to me."
"I don't understand, then why aren't you with him?"
"It's my father, he won't let me see him, and supposedly he doesn't want to see me, its over."
"Are you sure Sam?"
"Yes."
"Do you have proof?"
"Yes," She said handing her the letter, she read it then looked back at Sam, as she handed it to her, she put it back.
"So how does Lorenzo fit into all this?"
"He is from Port Charles where I used to live, I used to work for him, until Jason put a stop to it, and he told me to never be fooled by him, or trust him."
"And you don't do you?"
"No."
"And who's the blonde?"
"Courtney Matthews, Jason Morgan's girlfriend. I don't want to talk about it any more, okay?"
"Okay." As Alicia thought about what she said, she now had names to go with the pictures and come Monday morning she was going to invest some time into what the hell happened.
