Chapter 8 - I Saw You

Janet ran over to Daniel.

"Hi guys sorry im late. My dad was asking a thousand questions and i couldn't get out of the house."

"Where's Sam?"

"She said that she'll meet us inside. By the way if anyone's interested, Graham's not with her."

Janet handed the door man her ticket and he made way for the gang to walk through.

"Welcome to Rock central"

Janet smiled.

"Oh My God. Is that Sam?"

Everyone looked to wear Teal'c was pointing. Her and a couple of other people were up on the bar dancing.

"That's her alright. Come on."

Jack, Teal'c, Ferreti and Kawalsky were left open mouthed at the sight of Sam shaking her bootie on the bar.

"Sam!"

Sam jumped down off the bar.

"Hey guys. How long have you been here?"

"Just arrived."

Sam took her cocktail from the barman and signalled to the table she was sitting at.

"You grabbed us front row seats. Good girl."

Sam smiled.

"I have my uses. I honestly thought you guy's would turn up alot sooner. I was getting kind of bored."

Jack looked at Sam.

"You didn't look bored with that guys hands on your hips."

Sam looked at the guy jack was indicating.

"That's Jonas. We always dance on the bar."

"Suits you"

Daniel and Janet traded awkward looks.

"Hey guys we better sit down."

"Janet's right. The shows about to start"

Everyone took their seats. Jack and Sam were forced to sit by each other. The lights dimmed and Blink 182 suddenly appeared on stage.

"What's up Colorado?"

A bunch of fans screamed at the top of their lungs.

"Ok we're going to start with a song you all love."

Music started to play.

"All the small things true care truth brings I'll take one lift your ride best trip always I know you'll be at my show watching, waiting, commiserating"

Kawalsky and Ferreti took their lighters out of the pockets and held them in the air.

"Rock on"

Teal'c began to headbang.

"You go Teal'c"

"Say it ain't so, I will not go turn the lights off, carry me home Na, na, na, na...."

The crowd had begun to dance. Boyfriends had their girlfriends on their shoulders. Janet looked at Daniel.

"Janet?"

"Yeah?"

"Would you like to go on my shoulders?"

Janet looked at Sam who smiled a smile of encouragement.

"Id love too"

Daniel and Janet went over to the standing crowd and Janet pushed herself up onto Daniel's shoulders. Ferreti looked at Teal'c.

"No way. Im not looking gay for you."

"Oh come on Teal'c."

Kawalsky jumped on Tealc's back.

"Too slow"

Sam and Jack laughed as Ferreti began to pull Kawalsky off Tealc's back.

"Dude come on."

Sam got up.

"Im going to dance. You coming?"

"I don't dance."

"Fine"

Sam walked over to where Janet and Daniel were dancing. Jack watched her as she swayed her hips seductively.

"Say it ain't so, I will not go turn the lights off, carry me home keep your head still, I'll be your thrill the night will go on, my little windmill"

Jack wasn't paying any attention to the band, he just watched her. Her jeans clung to her body and her top flashed her midriff. It was perfectly toned and tanned. He felt someone sit next to him.

"She's a good dancer"

"Huh?"

"Sam."

Jack turned to face the guy by him.

"You're Jonas."

"Got it in one. You must be Jack."

"How did you know?"

"The way Sam described you. Also the way you're looking at her."

Jack took another swig of his beer.

"Oh come on. You can't sit there and tell me that you do not find her attractive."

Jonas smiled.

"I do find her attractive but i know not to go for what i can't have."

"Why does everyone think she belongs to Graham pretty boy Simmons?"

"I don't think she belongs to Graham."

Jack went back to watching her dance.

"I think she belongs to someone else"

"Who?"

Jack went to look at Jonas again but he wasn't there.

"What the hell?"

(3 Hours Later)

No sleep No sleep until I am done with finding the answer Won't stop Won't stop before I find a cure for this cancer Sometimes I feel I going down and so disconnected Somehow I know that I am haunted to be wanted

Jack was now standing with Teal'c and Kawalsky holding a lighter up. He occasionally looked over to where Sam was Dancing just to make sure she was ok. He watched as a guy made his way over to her and placed his arm around her stomach.

"Hey baby and how are you doing tonight?"

Sam smiled.

"Im doing alright. So far i've avoided guys like you."

Jack watched as the guy moved his body inches closer to hers.

"How about we go out back and create some music of our own?"

"How about we don't"

Sam moved a bit away from him but he kept of pursuing her. Jack started to worry and handed Ferreti his lighter back.

"Hey watch my back"

"You got it man"

Jack made his way through the block thick crowd.

"Sam?"

Sam couldn't hear him. The guy grabbed her wrist.

"Let me go"

No one was rushing to help her cause they couldn't hear hear cries. Janet and Daniel were out of view and Jack had Ferreti watching his back.

"Come on baby. There's no need to fight me."

The guy practically had Sam off her feet as he tried making his ways to the back with her.

"Let me go"

Jack started to speed up his pace through the crowd as the guy now had Sam almost through the open fire exit.

"Sam!"

The guy closed the fire exit behind him locking Jack inside the building. Jack thumped on the door.

"Shit!"

Jack ran through the building and exited through the entrance.

"Sam"

He could hear muffled screams coming from the shed next to the building. Jack wasted no time in getting to the shed and kicking down the door.

"Get off her asshole!"

Jack grabbed the guy by the hood on his jacket. Jack punched him to the ground.

"She's not worth it. All she is a cock teaser"

Jack picked him back up and thumped him harder. The crack of his nose sounded through Sam and Jack's ears. Jack went to punch him again but a hand grabbed his arm.

"Jack leave it."

Jack turned to face Sam who was exhausted from fighting. His mind noted where the bruises and scratches were on her fare face. He also noticed that her jeans were ripped around the zipper area.

"Sam you can't let him get away with this."

"I know but i can't let things go this way. No one should have to defend me, especially you."

Jack opened his mouth at this comment. He let the guy go and he scrambled.

"What do you mean especially me?"

Sam walked over to a window to see her reflection.

"Sam. I was ready to kill that guy and you turn around and say im not meant to defend you."

Sam still ignored him.

"Sam! What the hell was that meant to mean?"

"I saw you with her."

Sam's voice was quiet but loud enough to be heard by a person standing close to her.

"What?"

"You and Anise. I saw you kissing."

"You weren't meant to."

Sam shook her head.

"Why because you didn't want me to know you had a girlfriend? so you could trick me into falling for you?"

"Sam it wasn't like that."

"You must think im a fool, all this time you were playing me with another woman."

Sam started to walk.

"Yeah well you were the one playing me with another guy."

"The difference is you knew that i was seeing Graham. I didn't know that you were seeing Anise."

Jack took Sam's arm.

"Me and Anise aren't together. We were but not anymore."

"That's not an excuse to use me and abuse my trust. Do you honestly think i don't have feelings?"

Sam had let a few tears loose but didn't give them any recognition.

"I would never want to hurt you"

Sam got her arm back from his grasp.

"Well you did."

Sam and Jack looked at each other.

"I can't do this anymore Jack."

"Sam don't do this."

"I hope you and Anise are happy."

"It's not Anise i want."

Sam looked at the ground.

"It's you i want."

"Well Graham has me."

Jack eyed Sam up.

"He hasn't changed for good."

"I know but right now he's not the one hurting me. Goodnight Jack."

Sam walked, the only sound being heard was the crunch of the leaves from underneath her feet.

"But he will."
