Courtney walked into Kelly's the next morning briskly as she sat herself down at a table. Her father, Mike immediately greeted her. "Hey sweetie" he said.

"Hey" Courtney said. "Have you seen Jason. He didn't come home last night and it's starting to worry me"

"He came here last night with Sam. The two of them were in some deep shit. On the run from someone. I let them sleep upstairs if you want to go and see him" Mike told his daughter.

"Oh thank god. I thought something bad had happened" Courtney said giving out a sigh of relief as she stood up from her seat. She slowly moved to the stairs and walked up the creaky floor boards. Then slowly reaching the extra bedroom she pushed open the door. As she saw what lay in the bed horror ran through her.

"Jason!" she shouted.

Jason immediately opened his eyes and scanned the room to see Courtney at the door. At first he didn't know what she was yelling about but quickly looked down at his chest to see Sam's head resting on it. "Shit." he muttered.

"Jason what is going on!" Courtney yelled.

"Listen Courtney what happened is not what you think!" Jason said as he sat up. Sam now fluttered open her chocolate eyes to find Courtney in the room yelling to Jason. Her heart immediately started to pound. She rolled off of the mattress and onto the floor. Quickly grabbing her jeans and jacket, she pulled on her clothes and headed to the door.

"Hey you not so fast!" Courtney yelled standing in front of Sam. "What the hell were you doing with my boyfriend!"

"Listen Courtney I'm sorry" Sam said. "I just need to leave"

Sam quickly ran out the door leaving Jason behind with an angry Courtney. Last night was a mistake. A large mistake. Sure being with Jason was great and the sex without a doubt was picture perfect but it was wrong.

Sam strode down the hallway of the Pent House as she walked out the elevator. Trying as quickly as she could to reach Jason, Courtney's and hers Pent House she was stopped.

"I heard what happened with you and Jason last night" Carly Corenthos said to Sam. Sam slowly turned on her heel so that she faced Carly.

"You did?" Sam asked.

Carly glared at her. "Yeah I did. And you should know that I am not very happy about it" Carly told her. "You are a little slutty bitch. I knew you shouldn't be around Jason. I just knew it."

"Listen Carly the night before was a huge mistake" Sam said.

"I don't care. It still happened. You still slept with my bestfriend's boyfriend. You just slept with my bestfriend." Carly said to Sam bitterly. "I want you out of here. Just leave Port Charles. Everything was fine until you came along. You're fucking up people's lives here"

"Carly just stay out of it" Sam said sighing.

"No I won't stay out of it." Carly said sternly. She pushed Sam against the wall. Sam pushed her away. "How could you do this! Don't you have a conscious! Don't you feel terrible inside for ruining Jason's and Courtney's relationship!"

Sam gave Carly a cold look showing no emotion. Then slowly she backed away from Carly and headed toward the door of Pent House Two. As she opened it Carly said one last thing to her. "He will never forgive you!" she yelled after her.

Jason sat at Coleman's sipping a beer as he tried to wash away his sorrows. It had been the worst day of his life. He had lost the woman he loved by sleeping with one he hated. Everything was turning out so wrong. As he continued to chug down another glass of achohol he heard the door behind him swing open and the loud footsteps of someone behind him. Turning around he saw his mistake. He saw Sam Mccall.

Sam felt her heart race as she laid her eyes on Jason. "Shit" she whispered to herself. It was the one person she didn't want to see. Slowly she continued to walk and sat as far away from Jason at the bar as she could.

"What do you want Sammy girl?" Coleman asked as he saw Sam.

"Just give me a beer alright" Sam said. Jason didn't even look at Sam. He felt sweat dripping down his neck as he felt her presence. Sam waited as Coleman got her her drink fiddling with her thumbs trying to keep her breathing steady as she hid the uneasiness behind it as she looked over at Jason.

Jason finally looked over at Sam. He couldn't take it anymore. "Sam?" he said.

Sam looked over at Jason. "Yeah" she said softly.

"Can I ask you a favor?" Jason asked. Sam just gave a nod of her head. "Pretend that last night didn't happen."

"Alright" Sam said softly. The bar stayed silent as the two of them stopped talking. "Jason what happened with you and Courtney?"

Jason stared down at his beer. "It's over" Jason said.

Sam felt a lump form in her throat. She felt terrible. Her stomach tightened as she heard the words. "Jason I'm really so-"

"No Sam" Jason said cutting her off her sentence. "It was my fault."

Sam didn't know what to say as she took a sip of her beer. "Jason is there anything I can do?" Sam asked.

Jason nodded his head. "Yeah" he said as he took a pause. "Just leave the Pent House. Leave Port Charles. I don't care if you continue to do outside work for Sonny. Just . . . just Sam I don't want to see you again. You'll just remind me of the mistake I made" Jason told her. He felt terrible doing so but he had too. It was the only way he would feel better.

"Alright" Sam said. She slowly stood up from the bar stool she sat on. "I'll be out of here as soon as I can"

"Thank you" Jason told her.

Sam nodded her head. "Your welcome" she said as she walked out the door. As she walked down the street she felt a knot in her stomach. She had ruined Jason's life. Just like Carly had said. It's not like she loved him or anything she just felt bad. It was like stealing from old people. It was a terrible analogy to compare her situation too but it was true. When she was desperate she found herself stealing from the elderly. That's what Sam felt like. She felt like she had stole Courtney and Jason's relationship. Flushed it down the drain for them.

"Sonny I'm sorry but with everything that is happening I have to leave. I think I'll go back to Boston. Just tell me when you need me for a job." Sam told Sonny Corenthos who stood starring at her with his dark eyes.

"Sam why do you have to do this?" Sonny asked.

"Because I've screwed a lot of things up here in Port Charles. I've hurt a lot of people and I think leaving is the best thing to do right now" Sam said.

"But Sam I like having you here close by. Having you work closely is working." Sonny told her.

"Not for Jason. Not for Courtney. And not for Carly. Sonny it's better for everyone alright?" Sam said.

Sonny shook his head. "Okay." he told her. "But listen I want to know the moment you get into trouble." Sonny told her. Sam nodded her head.

"Alright" Sam said. She slowly turned on her heal and headed to the door leaving the pent house.
