A/N Sorry I took so long to update. I was really busy with college apps and stuff, but I am done with that for a while.

Chapter 2

Sam woke up at ten in the morning to find the bed empty next to her. She felt a little twinge of anxiousness,

wondering where Jason was. She had to be extra careful now that he had lost his memory again. She had to

keep him close to her, to make sure he wouldn't hurt himself, and more importantly, so she wouldn't lose

him. She couldn't risk him remembering everything, remembering…her, Courtney.

There was one thing she hadn't yet mentioned to Jason about his life when she was filling him in on the

details after his memory loss. She had told him about his life before he was Jason Morgan, when he was

Jason Quartermaine, about his brother AJ and his sister Emily, how he came to work for Sonny, everything.

But when she came to the part in his life about Courtney, somehow, she couldn't bring herself to tell him,

afraid that he would remember her instead of Sam, that he would leave Sam.

She knew that she was no competition compared to Courtney. Hands down, Courtney would win, every

single time. She was Jason's one true love, and there would always be a special place in his heart for her, no

matter how many years passed. Sure, he would say all the right things, like "I love you," and take her out to

dinner or shopping, but no matter what, she never saw that look in his eye when he was talking to her. The

look he got when he was talking to, or even just about, Courtney. The little spark that made his eyes seem an

even brighter shade of blue. He tried to hide it, and he usually managed to quite well, but anyone who knew

him well could see it clearly. She couldn't help but feel a little jealous of that bond Jason and Courtney would

always have. Stop it, Sam. You're with him now. He chose you. He loves you. Sam tried to reassure herself.

There's nothing to worry about.

Jason was on his way to Kelly's. Sam had told him that the food there was unbeatable, and even though it

only served diner food, you couldn't find better food anywhere.

The crisp wind blew through his hair, and several leaves flew by. There was that certain nip in the air, as

the autumn season approached.

He didn't know why he got up so early and was going for a walk without telling Sam. He usually didn't do

things like that. But after that dream, he couldn't go back to sleep for the rest of the night. There was

something about that face, something so…familiar. He couldn't put his finger on it. You're just imagining it,

Jason. Just because you dream about some gorgeous girl, doesn't mean she exists. Besides, Sam had told

him all about the people involved in his life, and if this girl existed, assuming she existed, Sam would have

told him, right?

Just then, he reached Kelly's. He went into the restaurant, grateful that it was so much warmer in there than

outside. He ordered a cup of warm coffee, and some toast, and waited for them to arrive. All of a sudden, he

heard a voice as the doors to the diner burst open, letting a gust of cold air in.

"Dad, oh my God, you won't believe what just happened! I ran into this guy on the way here, and he tried

to sell me…"

Jason turned around to look at who was speaking, and froze. It was her, the angelic girl from the dream!

He blinked a few times and rubbed his eyes, to make sure he was actually seeing what he thought he was

seeing. The image in front of him didn't change. He couldn't take his eyes off of her. He had thought she was

beautiful in the dream, but it was nothing compared to how she looked in person. She was a striking beauty,

wearing a loose, flowing knee length skirt with a silky sweater, cut just low enough to expose some skin

without showing too much. He couldn't help but think how tight and low cut Sam's shirts always were, like

she was trying to get the attention of every man in Port Charles. Stop it. You shouldn't be thinking like that.

You don't even know this girl and already you're comparing Sam to her?

He must have been gaping at the woman for a while, because all of a sudden, he found her moving towards

him. He was a little surprised, wondering what she could possibly have to say to him. To his astonishment,

she threw her arms around his neck and said, "Jason, are you okay? I heard about the memory loss, and I

was so worried. I didn't have time to stop by earlier, and for that, I am truly sorry."

The woman kept on talking, and he couldn't help but stare at her stunning face. Finally, she noticed that he

wasn't listening to what she was saying. "Jason, what's the matter?" she asked.

"I'm really sorry about this, but do I know you?" Jason asked Courtney.
