Sam played with the string of her sweatshirt as she stood outside the hotel and waited to see Robin's Red Ford Focus. The moment she saw those plane tickets her body went on autopilot, she called Robin than she quickly got dressed and waited outside for her sister. There were so many questions running through her mind; was Lucky right? Did Jason only see her as a fun distraction, an escape from his boring life?What everything he told her a lie? She didn't have any answers now, but she was sure as hell going to get some answers. A red car coming to a screeching halt in front of her brought Sam out of her thoughts.
Sam let out a sigh of relief as the door swung open and a hand grabbed her arm and pulled her into the car. "What happened?" Maxie asked as she climbed over Sam, so the brunet was in the closest to Robin and slammed the door. As soon as the door was closed Maxie motioned for Robin to drive.
"I found two plane tickets in Jason's room." Sam answered with a frown as she glanced at the blond, that she was currently sharing a seat with, confused why she was there, "They were for New York." She added as Robin pulled out of the parking lot.
"Please tell me you were not snooping through his things." Kristina pleaded from the backseat, which caused Sam to jump in surprise as she took notice of her two younger sisters in the back, "Because that is something Maxie."
"Really, Miss fake IDs? You want to bring me into this?" Maxis challenged as she turned around and glared at the younger girl.
"I am not going to apologize for something that made me that much money." Kristina admitted as she crossed her arms, "I am only sorry that I got caught."
"Why are you all here? I called Robin." Sam asked as she interrupted the two girl's glaring contest.
"Which hurt my feelings by the way, I thought that I was your favorite sister." Maxie piped up as she turned her attention back to Sam and pulled her into an awkward hug and then stuck her tongue out at Kristina.
"Mom is angry at Dad for the way things turned out while she was away and Dad is trying to use us as a barrier. So the only way I could get out of the house was to say I was taking Molly to camp." Robin explained as she came to a stop light, "These two were already in the car by the time I got to the driveway." She added as she glanced at Sam.
"I thought it was Ethan on the phone."
"I saw your number on caller ID." Kristina and Maxie defended at the same time.
"This was a sister 911. It doesn't matter how we got here, it just matters that we are here." Molly smiled as she spoke for the first time.
"So let's get back to the plane tickets." Maxie spoke trying to get everyone back on subject, "How do you know they were not from before Emily decided to stay here?"
"They were bought yesterday morning." Sam explained as she pulled the boarding passed from her pocket and handed them to the blonde.
"You took them?" Robin asked shocked as they pulled into the parking lot of the local dinner.
"I was going to use them when I confronted, but now I am not so sure. If he was ready to just walk away…"
"You need to let him explain, I am sure there is a good reason why he had those." Molly answered, "I see the way he looks at you, his eyes are filled with love." Molly nodded.
"No!" Kristina yelled at the same time, "You need to jack him up and ask him what the hell is going." Kristina added as she poked her head in-between the two seats.
"Oh I like this plan and we will be there for you as backup." Maxie grinned.
"Really you are going to encourage her?" Robin asked as she turned the car off.
"This plan sounds better than what I hand planned today." Maxis answered as she opened the door.
"I am afraid to ask." Robin mumbled as she got out of the car.
"She was going to set up an account on for Elizabeth." Molly answered for Maxie as they all made their way inside the dinner.
"I am still going to-do that, but problem needs my full attention at the moment." Maxie smiled, "I am going to use the picture I took after she had the little accident in the port-a-potty." The blond grinned as they grabbed a table.
"We are going to calmly talk this over before anyone kicks Jason's ass. " Robin informed the four as they all sat down.
"He needs to realize with one of us you mess with all of us." Maxie explained as she looked over the menu.
"I think he learned that after the paintball incident." Robin pointed out as she grabbed her menu.
"She makes us should like we are part of the mafia." Molly whispered to Robin as the waitress made her way over to the table.
"Oh hell no!" Maxie yelled as soon as she saw who their waitress here, "When did you start working here? You know what I don't care, I refuse to let you touch my food. I don't put it past you to poison me, pour some anti-freeze in my juice." Maxie rambled as she glared at Elizabeth, "Think you can kill me that easy? I am so on to you." Maxie laughed, "I'd watch my back if if were you, there are so creepy men out there. Never know when one might just pop up at your window and kidnap you."
"Stop being such a drama queen. I can't believe I ever thought we were friends." Liz snapped as she waited for everyone to place their orders. "I think it's pretty low of you Sam." Elizabeth added once everyone had ordered.
"What?" Sam asked confused.
"Dropping me the moment some new girl comes to town."
"She dropped you because she was afraid she would catch something from you." A voice called from behind the girls. This caused everyone to turn around to see; Nikolas, Emily, Patrick, Jason and Johnny standing there.
"You have our orders so why don't you scurry off now and do your job." Maxie barked as she watched Liz zero in on Jason, "So out of you league." She added with disgust.
"They haven't ordered yet." Elizabeth exclaimed.
"We will have four of the hungry men and one of whatever Sam got." Patrick replied not looking at the woman, who quickly turned away.
"Hey, what are you guys doing here?" Maxie asked as she got up and gave Johnny a kiss.
"We got hungry from working on the….." John started but stopped when he was elbowed in the side by Patrick.
"We were hungry." Patrick repeated as he sat in-between Robin and Johnny.
"Trying to make me look like a liar?" Jason asked as he drew his attention on Sam, "Thought you could get away with having breakfast without me." Jason winked as he pulled a chair in-between Sam and Molly.
"Well you found me." Sam answered as she gave him a small smiled before looking towards Robin who immediately shot up.
"I have to go to the bathroom, Sam." Robin exclaimed as she glanced at Sam than at Emily.
"You know what? I have to go too, must have had too much water." Emily added as she too stood up and followed Robin who had grabbed Sam's arm and pulled her towards the back where the bathrooms were.
"Why do you all have to go to the bathroom as a group?" Johnny asked as he watched the three go and then turned towards his girlfriend.
"For our protection." The blonde answered before she too stood up.
"What do you need protection from? I mean do you think that something is going to jump out of the toilet. Like a snake or something? " Johnny asked but was ignored as Maxie too headed back towards the bathroom.
As soon as Robin checked the stalls she turned towards the two were standing next to the sinks. "What is going on?" Emily asked as she looked between the two sisters, confusion written on her face.
"Did you and Jason plan on going home anytime soon?" Robin asked not looking away from Sam.
"No, I mean not that I know of. I am going to have to go home sometime to get my stuff and to talk to my parents but I was going to wait till the end of summer. Why?" Emily questioned as she grew concerned, "What did Jason say? He didn't ask you to move back to Port Charles did he? "
"What happened is your dumbass brother bought two plane tickets back to New York yesterday morning" Maxie answered as she barged into the bathroom waving the boarding passes around which caused the other three women to jump.
"No you guys this is a big misunderstanding." Emily sighed as she tried to claim everyone down.
"Yeah, your brother is a no good playboy who messed with the wrong family. He has no idea what I am capable of doing and getting away with." Maxie exclaimed.
"Why would he buy two tickets if he knew I was staying here? He was the first one I told about my plans on moving here." Emily asked as she turned to face Maxie.
"How do I know you are not covering for him? He is your brother after all. This could be a con you pull going town to town making people fall in love with you. Is Emily even your real name? I really don't care what you do to Nikolas, he is on his own. But us Scorpio women look out for one another and I will cut you."
"Maxie shut up and let Emily explain." A voice from the doorway called. The four turned around to see Patrick standing in the doorway.
"I thought you could at least read. This is the women's room." Maxie countered.
"There are way too many people in here." Sam mumbled as Patrick walked up to her and placed an arm around her.
"Can I have a minute alone with my best friend and girlfriend?" He asked as he turned to Emily and Maxie.
"Now is not the time to have your mind in the gutter." Maxie answered as she crossed her arms and glared at the man.
"Please just give me a chance to talk to her." He added as he saw Emily's unsure expression. Emily gave him a nod before grabbing Maxie's hand and heading through the door.
"So what is it that you supposedly know that we don't?" Robin asked as she crossed her arms and looked at the man suspiciously, "I swear if any little fantasy is running through your puny little brain, I am going to kick you." She added.
"I am hurt, that you think that I am that much of a pig." Patrick exclaimed as he placed a hand to his heart, "Obviously something is going on with you and Jason, so spill." Patrick order as his gaze moved from Robin to Sam.
"I accidentally found two plane tickets to New York in Jason's hotel room." Sam explained.
"So instead of ask Jason what is going on, you are surrounding yourself with crazy women who are filling your head with what ifs?" Patrick asked. Sam and Robin looked at each other and then turned to Patrick with a look of shock and amazement, "Oh don't looked so shocked, I do have good ideas from time to time."
"Everything he just said makes perfect sense." Sam mumbled to her sister.
"Plus, Jason did not just put some much time in ….." Patrick started but was interrupted as there was a knock on the door.

Maxie followed Emily out of the bathroom and back to the table, when she immediately stopped, "Is leaving Patrick the one to talk to Sam such a good idea?" Maxie asked as Emily turned to face the blonde.
"I think that he is better option than you at the moment." Emily replied with a smile, "Are you okay? You seem a little more energetic today."
"Kristina decided to play a little prank on me, for the last two weeks she has been putting decafe coffee in my mug and she decided to replace it with espresso this morning." Maxie explained as she headed back towards the table, "I am just going to have a few words with your brother." Maxie smiled as she quickly made her way to the table and slipped into the seat next to Jason. "Hey." She grinned as she tried to get her attention.
"Hi." Jason replied, "Everything okay?"
"Of course, you know us girls; we take forever in the bathroom." Maxie replied with a smile as she grabbed a glass of orange juice, "How is everything with you?" She asked after she took a sip.
"Great." Jason answered as he grabbed a piece of bacon.
"So are you planning on staying here for a while?"
"Looks like it."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure."
"You never know though, what might pop up."
"What do you really want to ask me Maxie?"
"I am just wondering what your plans are now that Emily is planning on moving here."
"That is something between Sam and me."
"No I don't think it is." Maxie countered, "See in this family, we share everything, even if you don't want to. There are no secrets." Maxie went on to explain and chose to ignore the looks Emily and Johnny were shooting at her.
"What exactly does Sam think is going on?" Jason asked as he looked at the blonde than to his sister.
"I think you should answer the question and stop trying to change the subject." Kristina spoke as she jumped to Maxie's defense.
"How do you feel about our sister?" Molly chimed in.
"I care about her." Jason said getting a little uncomfortable.
"Well I care for bacon. That doesn't mean I am going to give up my life for it and move away from my family for a pig." Maxie piped up.
"Girls, why don't we leave Jason alone?" Nikolas said speaking up for the first time, seeing that Johnny was enjoying this too much to stop it.
"What about you? How do you feel about Emily? The way I see it she is more a part of this family than you are, I mean she actually has useful skills. She doesn't sit around the house all day playing World of Warcraft."
"It's Call of Duty."
"Well that makes it so much better."
"Can we please get back to Jason for a moment?" Johnny asked with a smirk.
"Right, Jason how do you really feel about my sister?"
"I didn't come here looking for a relationship; I thought I would be stuck in this town for a few days at the most. But that was all before I met Sam, the first night we met in the bar there was just a connection. "
"I think you need to go to the bathroom and tell Sam all that right now." Maxie said as she pushed the two boarding passes towards him.
"Where did you get these?" Jason asked shocked to see them.
"I didn't, Sam did." Maxie answered honestly and as soon as the words were out of her mouth, Jason was up and heading towards the back.
"Is there anything else I can get you?" Elizabeth asked interrupting the moment.
"Yeah, you can get a one way ticket to Siberia would be nice." Maxie said dismissingly as she made sure to stick her foot out as the waitress watched by.
0000000000000000000000000000
Sam held her breath as she heard the voice on the other side of the door, "Sam, can I come in?" Jason asked as he stood on the other side. Sam quickly shot a questioning glace to Robin and Patrick; Robin had a panic look on her face while Patrick held up a finger.
"One second." Sam called as she watched Patrick grab her sister's hand and push her one of the stalls.
"You want us both to stand on the toilet." Robin asked as she was pulled up by Patrick. All Sam saw was quick thumbs up over the stall and then she called to Jason.
"Hey." Jason smiled as he walked up to her, "I think we need to have a little chat." He smirked as he watched Sam's smile turn into a frown, "Maxie already chewed me out." He added as he pulled the tickets out, "Hey." Jason mumbled as he pulled her towards him.
"I'm fine. I knew this was coming." Sam mumbled as she tried to push away.
"What was coming, because I think that we are on two different pages." Jason countered as he pulled her closer to him.
"I am trying to make this easy for you." She said in a soft tone.
"Sam, I am not planning on going to New York alone. This is not how I wanted to do this especially in a bathroom. "Jason said as he looked around the room, "Sam there is no way I would lead you on, I would not have started anything with you if I wasn't serious. "
"But, I thought that…"
"You thought wrong Babe; you should have just come to me and asked what was going on."
"I was afraid that this was all a game to you."
"Never." Jason mumbled as he pulled her into a kiss, "I am falling for you. Hard." He added between kisses as he lifted her onto the sink.
"Stop!" A voice called from the bathroom stall and Patrick came out his eyes covered and a smiling Robin following him out, "Please wait until we leave." He added as he banged into the trash can on his way out of the bathroom. As soon as he opened the door Maxie fell in.
"Why, Patrick? Why do you always have to ruin everything?" Maxie asked. "I still want to know what the tickets are for."
"I was going to ask you to come to New York with me, when I go tell my parents I plan on staying here. I think they will be more open to it once they meet you." Jason sighed wishing he could have done this differently. Sam just nodded before she pulled him into as kiss.
