Sam was running across the docks in tears. "What am I doing?" she said aloud. "What was I thinking?"
Sam finally stopped and sat down on the ground. Her whole body felt dirty and she wanted to get sick. "Maybe that would get the taste out of my mouth" Sam yelled.
Sam knew she couldn't go home that evening and was thankful that Lila was with Viola. But thinking of Viola made her think of alexis and thinking of Alexis was painful. She wanted to pretend this evening hadn't happened but she knew she couldn't. One day she would have to tell both Alexis and Jason that she almost slept with Ric. Almost. Thank God sanity set in before she could ruin her life. Ric seemed so hurt when she ran out of the house but she couldn't stay there with him.
When Ric kissed her she reciprocated because she was lonely and drunk. She continued to let him kiss because she felt she had nothing to lose. But once he reached for her clothes things changed. She thought about what this could do to Molly and Kristina and her own daughter Lila.
Sam was horrified at how far she had let things get and ran out of the house. Ric called out for her but the damage was done and she couldn't look back. Whatever relationship she had with Alexis was gone and so was Jason.
"Sam" someone slurred.
She looked up and saw Lucky Spencer coming down the stairs towards her. He was obviously drunk or inebriated in some other way. He was barely able to stand. Sam jumped up quickly and helped Lucky to the bench. "Are you ok?" Sam asked.
"I am fine" Lucky slurred, "Have you seen Liz?"
Sam shook her head, "No- I am sorry." Sam took out her cell phone. "Let me call you a cab"
Lucky shook hi head, 'No" he said. When Sam didn't hang up Lucky grabbed the cell phone, "I said no!" he shouted.
Sam recoiled and felt tears stinging her eyes, "I was just trying to help," she whispered.
"Sorry" Lucky mumbled, "I just- I cant go home"
"Yeah – me either" Sam said. She sat down beside Lucky. "What's your deal huh?"
Lucky shrugged and then looked at her. This is the roughest she ever looked but she was still beautiful. "Maybe we should get out of here."
"Yeah- but where can we go?" Sam asked.
"My cousin runs the MetroCourt. I am sure we could get a room for free" Lucky replied. "If you want we can stop and pick Lila up. Where is she?"
Sam smirked, "Carly help me, not going to happen" Sam paused, "Lila is with Viola. Kristina Molly's nanny. They are at the MertoCourt"
"Come on- give Caroline some credit" Lucky said, "She really isn't that bad once you get to know her. Plus- she would do it for me. Lila is already there so you can be close to her"
Sam sighed and then finally nodded her head, "Ok- let's go" she helped Lucky to his feet and together they walked towards the MetroCourt neither one stopping to call a cab. Neither one aware the power was about to go out.
