Chapter Two
The next morning when Jason woke up Sam was already gone. He wasn't really surprised. This wasn't the first time she had left early but it didn't mean he wasn't disappointed. He knew that if Sam admitted it or not all of this had been really hard on her. She had been through abuse that Kristina was going through now. Sam had never really talked about her abusive relationship with Nico. Anytime they went anywhere near the subject she would just change it or find a reason to leave. The thing that worried him that Sam was strong but how much could one person go through before it was too much? He wanted to help her but he didn't know how. He always said the wrong thing or made her angry which made her put up her walls even more. Ever since they had gotten back together for the most part things had been great. But he knew she still didn't trust him the way she did before. Jason walked down stairs. He started to make a cup of coffee when someone started knocking on the door loudly. "Jason open up!" Carly hardly waited for him to open the door when she came barging in. "Sonny's out of control Jason. I went to see him last night He's a mess."
"What you mean? What happened?"
"He wasn't making any sense. I think he's stopped taking his meds. He was talking about his mother and he couldn't protect her but he was going to protect Kristina. Jason I think he's planning on killing Kiefer. Jason sighed. "Sonny can't go to prison. It would destroy Michael if Sonny goes to jail. Not to mention Kristina. If anything happens to Keifer Krissy will know it's Sonny and will never forgive him for it." Jason started running his hand through his hair as he paced.
"You really think Sonny is off his meds."
"From the way he was acting last night? Yes. When Sonny gets like this you're the only one that can get through to him."
"I don't know if I can this time, but I'll try."
"You have to. For Michael's sake."
"I'll talk to him."
"How's Sam?"
"Not good. Watching Kristina go through this reminds her of her past."
"Nico." Carly realized. She remembered when Sam was pregnant she hated her so much. She thought she was trying to take her family away from her but when she saw Nico beating Sam up in the elevator it made her so angry. No woman disserves that. "This must be hard for her."
"It has been but she's been trying so hard to be strong for Kristina and Alexis."
"Then you have to be there for her. Put her first because she's going to need you Jason, if she admits it or not."
Jason wanted to laugh Carly was telling him to out Sam first. Before when he was with Sam Carly had tried to pay Sam off and push her out of his life. "I thought you hated Sam?"
"That not true. She's good for you." Jason gives her a look. "Well better for you than your past girlfriends. You have always had horrible taste in women."
Now Carly was sounding like herself again.

Alexis had been at the PCPD for the last five hours. One of her clients had been brought in for questioning, and it didn't go very well but she was finally going home. She didn't want to stay away from the house that long. Kristina had just gotten home and she wanted to hover.
"Well if isn't Alexis Davis." Alexis cringed. She turned around to Warren Bauer.
"Is there something you need, Mr. Bauer because if not just get out of my way."
"Yes there is. I know Kristina is lying. Keifer is not the one who hit her."
"Kristina is not lying. If you continue to come near my family I will have a restraining order filed against you."
"Kristina is lying! I'm not going to let my son lose everything because your daughter is a selfish bitch who wants attention."
People in the police station started staring in their direction. "Leave my daughter alone." Alexis tried to leave again but Warren blocked her view of the door. "I get what happened to Kristina is awful but it wasn't Keifer. Have you ever thought that maybe Sonny did this to your daughter? He is a very dangerous man. Kristina is probably afraid if she tells the truth Sonny will kill her."
"Leave Sonny out of this."
"It the truth. Everyone knows it. You're going to let your daughter get away with lying just because you don't want your perfect little reputation to be hurt."
"Don't. Just because you can't except that you're son is a monster. I'm going to make sure you're son doesn't get away with this. There is no way in hell I'm going to let him do this to any other girl."
"He didn't beat up Kristina and even if he did the little slut disserved it! "
Sam walked into the PCPD quickly. She hadn't been able to get hold of Alexis and Diane had said she went the PCPD for one of her clients. Kristina had asked her to talk Alexis to get her to stop pressuring her into pressing charges against Keifer. She knew Alexis wasn't going to like it but nobody could force Kristina to do this. If she pressed charges it had to be her decision. If Kristina went through a trial it could cause Kristina more pain.
Mrs. McCall are you really insulting the intelligence of this jury to imply that my client beat you repeatedly for three years."
"Is this really appropriate wardrobe for a trial?"
"How many men have you slept with?"
"Why didn't you file charges, tell anyone?"
"No one will believe you. I think the trial proves that. All they saw you for was a whore who got what she disserved. Did you really think you could get away from me kitten? You never will."
Sam saw Alexis by the door and started walking up to her w when she heard Warren Bauer. "He didn't beat up Kristina and even if he did the little slut disserved it." Sam slapped him across the face.
"Sam!" Alexis cried pulling her daughter away from Warren.
Lucky had seen the whole confrontation and walked up to them with Mac not far behind.
"I want to press charges she slapped me!"
"Stay away from Kristina." Sam answered fiercely.
Warren started charging towards Sam but Lucky jumped in front of her. "No one is pressing charges against any one."
"Alexis turned to Sam. "Just go. You can't be here right now."
"You're supposed to protect the innocent but all you care about is closing this case! Keifer is innocent and I will make sure everyone knows it."
"Mr. Bauer," Mac said trying to control the situation.
"You call this a police department? This woman hit me you all saw it. I'm pressing charges
"No you are not." Alexis said. "And if you do I'll have her released tonight and the charges dropped by tomorrow."
"Mac can ...I." Lucky looked at Sam to the door.
Mac nodded in understanding.
Lucky put his hand on Sam's shoulder. Come on let's get out of here."
Lucky and Sam walked out and Mac turned back to Warren. "I suggest you leave."
"Fine." He said one last thing to Alexis before exiting the door. "Kristina lies will come out and when they do. She will pay for what she did to my son."
Mac out his hand on Alexis' shoulder, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. I need to get home to my daughters."
"Thanks." Sam said as she took a sip of her coffee.
"For what?"
"Getting me out of there before I did something stupid. "
Lucky smiled. "It's okay. I wasn't going to be in lock up all night. Beside that not the only reason." He said honestly.
"What do you mean?"
"It was a chance to see you. I've missed talking to you, it's been a while."
"It has. How are you doing?"
"I'm fine, just worried about you."
"I know this thing with Elizabeth and Nikolas has been really hard on you. You deserve better"
Lucky sighed. "We got the results to the paternity test last week. I'm not the father, Nikolas is."
"This isn't fair that you have to go through this."
"I don't know why I'm disappointed. Elizabeth and I are too destructive all we ever do is destroy each other."
"You deserve better than this."
"It's not fully her fault. We both lied and cheated. When people have hurt each other the way we have you can't come back from that and it was stupid to try. "
"It doesn't excuse her." Sam replied.
"No it doesn't but I have to take responsibility for my part in the mess we've made. I'm not innocent."
"I still think you're giving her too much credit."
Lucky rolled his eyes. "Can we talk about something else."
"Fine. How's work?"
"Good. How's your cooking?"
"Hey I'm a good cook." Sam pouted.
"Sam you almost burned down my kitchen. Besides you're the only person I know who can make pancakes taste like bricks. I mean what do you do to them?"
"Shut up!"
Lucky tried to hold back his laughter but he couldn't. Sam playfully hit him on the arm. "Ouch what was that for!"
"You deserved it."
"I wouldn't wish your cooking on my worst enemy."
"You're an ass."

Alexis got home to see Kristina sitting on the couch snuggled up in a blanket watching TV.
"Hey where's Molly?"
"In her room doing her homework." Kristina said sitting up.
Alexis nodded. "What are you uh watching?"
"ER. It's a rerun."
"Have you had dinner yet?"
"Yeah I ordered pizza after Molly got home. There's leftovers in the fridge."
This was ridiculous she shouldn't feel so awkward around her daughter.
"How are you?"
"I'm so tired of people asking me that!" Kristina snapped.
Alexis was thrown off guard. "We ask because we care. I didn't mean to upset you."
"Did you talk to Sam today?"
"She came by the PCPD today but we didn't have time to talk." Kristina didn't need to know what happened with Warren. It would just upset her. "Why do you ask?"
"Because I asked her to talk you into stop pressuring me about the charges. Why can't you understand I just want this to be over?"
Alexis didn't know what to say to this.
Kristina walked by her and headed up the stairs.

"Hey Sam it me. I haven't heard from you and it's getting late I'm going to assume you're working. I love you, call me back."
Jason hung up his phone before turning the lights of in the pent house and going to bed.

It had been hours since she left Kelly's and now she was at the office doing paperwork. She wasn't ready to go home yet. She didn't want to face Jason because if she did they would have to talk and she wasn't ready for that. She had to do something distracting. Anything that would keep her awake. She couldn't go to sleep because when she did the nightmares would come back.
Thanks for all the reviews. I'm going to try to keep updating quickly.
Chapter three will probably be up by Thursday.
