What The Heart Wants

Chapter 2

Ian wasn't a patient man, he never has been and waiting for Patrick to show up was killing him. He looked towards the bed where Sam was lying. As soon as he got off the phone with Patrick, he stopped at the nearest hotel. He walked over to the bed and touched her face. "I told you to not help me."

He flashed back to earlier that night

"What are you doing here?" he yelled as he saw that Sam was standing by his car.

"I figure that you wouldn't let me in your place since you just kick me out of your place less than a hour ago."

"So why are you here, Sam?"

She laughed slightly. " Jason and Sonny found out that I told you that they were going to kill you and now they are after me. "

"They won't hurt you, Sam."

She sighed as she walked over to him. "Jason threatened my life once before. I heard the exact same words tonight. "

"But how did they find out? You just told me nearly an hour ago. "Ian questioned her.

"They have been following you, Ian. Max told me that he had to tell Jason that he heard us talking.

"But we were inside?" Ian said, when suddenly he figure it out."

"They bugged my place."

Suddenly there was a knock at the door and Ian snapped out of his thoughts, and run towards the door.

"It's about time," he said, as he opened the door and saw Patrick standing in front of him.

"What did you do now, Ian?" he asked.

Ian sighed. "I don't have time for this. She needs our help."

Patrick walked into the hotel, and saw Sam McCall lying on the bed. Patrick turned around and looked at him. "What happened to her?" he asked.

"She was shot, and before you ask I didn't shot her. "

Patrick nodded, as he handed the supplies to Ian. "Do you want me to help you or are we going to stand here and just talk like a bunch of girls?"

Later,

"You really should get her to the hospital." Patrick responded.

Ian sighed. "We can't do that."

Ian looked at Patrick. "Thanks for helping me Patrick. I know that you heard what..."

Patrick stopped Ian before he could say anymore. " They are just rumors."

I wish they were, Ian thought to himself. If only Patrick realize exactly what kind of friend Ian really was.

Ian walked over to Patrick. "You didn't see me or Sam. I am know that you aren't going to rat me out to the police. "

Patrick walked towards the door. "What happened to you?" he asked. "You weren't ever this dangerous."

"I was, Patrick. You just didn't know."

The night that Trina die was the night that Ian Devlin changed.

Patrick hugged Ian. "Just take care of yourself, and take care of her too. She's not as innocent as she looks," he said, with a grin.

"I know that," Ian said, with a smile, as he looked at Sam lying on the bed.

Patrick was about to leave the hotel when Ian stopped him. "Patrick, do me a favor?"

Patrick nodded. " Go home and tell Robin exactly how you feel about her. Tell her that you don't want her to raise your baby on her own that you want to do with her."

"Getting soft on me, are we, Ian?" Ian glanced at his friend. "I was in your situation once, Patrick. I made the wrong choice and lost something that I'm never going to get back. Don't make the same mistake that I made."

"What are you talking about?" Patrick questioned Ian.

"Just trust me that I know what I am talking about. " Patrick nodded as he left the hotel.

Later,

Sam was slowly starting to wake up, Ian walked over to her. "Lucky," she said, as she sat up and leaned over and kissed him.

Ian knew that she was thinking of someone else, but that didn't stop him from enjoying the kiss. He dreamt of kissing her ever since he first saw her, but he never realize that she was this good. A good man would stop her, but he was definitely not a good man.

"Make love to me, Lucky."

That is when Ian knew that he had to stop, he couldn't keep going. "Sam, you need to rest. "

She looked at Ian. "It hurts,"

"I know it does," Ian said, as he walked over to the table and handed her a glass of water and some pills.

"Take these." he said. She did what he said and took them

" Ian was here. Where did he go?" she asked. "You didn't hurt him, did you?"

He smiled to himself, as he touched her face. "Just lay back now, Sam. Ian is fine; nobody is going to hurt him."

She nodded, as she lay back on the bed. She started to close her eyes. He touched her face as she started to fall asleep. She was so beautiful, he knew that he shouldn't have let her kissed him, but it just felt so right. If he was a different man, he would definitely be with her.

He's not a man that deserve someone like Sam McCall. She deserved so much better than me.

Max stood in Sam's apartment. "Jason knows that you told Ian that they are after him." Max looked at Sam. "I always liked you, Sam. I'm telling you as a friend. Jason and Sonny want to kill you for helping Ian. I'm only telling you so you have time to get out of here. If they ever find out that I told you I will be dead too."

"Don't worry, Max." Sam said, as she walked over to the door, and opened it. "Nobody will know who told me." Max nodded, as he walked out of her apartment. So many emotions went through her head at that moment mostly anger.

"Wake up, Sam," Ian said, as he saw that she was screaming in her sleep. She looked at him. "Ian?"

He smiled to himself. At least she knows who I am now.

"Where are we?" she asked.

"We are in a hotel room. I couldn't stitch you up in the car, could I?" Ian said, with a grin.

"You stitch me up?" she asked.

"I couldn't let you bleed to death could I?"

She then remembers getting out of the car and getting shot. "I thought you didn't care about me that is why you want me to leave."

"It is because I care about you that I want you to leave." Ian said, as he sat down next to her.

She looked at him. "You are a very mysterious man."

"That is the way I like it."

He then looked at her. "What were you dreaming about?" he asked.

She sighed. "It was nothing." He knew that it was nothing, but he knew Sam well enough to know that she was stubborn and wouldn't tell him.

"We are going to stay here tonight and then I'm going to leave you here and you are going to go home. If I'm gone, Jason won't want to kill you."

She stood up and as she stood up, she collapsed into his arms.

"Not so fast, Sam. You were shot remember."

"It's not the first time that Jason threatened my life. I'm leaving town with you. "

He stared at her. " You have a family back in Port Charles, this is not just leaving town, this is being on the run. You can't ever talk to them ever again. If you go with me, it might be the worse thing that you ever did in your life."

"I'm stronger than you think. I know how to handle myself in bad situations; I probably could teach you a few things."

" I bet you could."

Ian sighed as he glanced at Sam. He was falling more in love with her, and that wasn't good for either of them. He couldn't love her, he just couldn't.
