Chapter Three

Sam unlocked the door to the penthouse just in time to see Jason coming down the stairs.

"Hey." He walked over to her and gave her a kiss.

"You didn't come back to the pent house last night, I was worried."

"Oh well I spent most the night working at the office and went to my place to crash for a few hours." Sam said refusing to look into his crystal blue eyes.

"It ok, but I'm glad you are here now."

Jason walked up to hr and gently lifting her head forcing her to look at him.

"You need sleep. You looked exhausted and you're pail." He said with concern.

"I'm fine, really." Sam says putting on a fake smile to ease him. But he could see right through her.

"No you are not. When was the last time you got a good night of sleep?"

"I've been busy." Sam said moving away from him and towards the window. "I don't need much sleep anyways." I can't sleep. Because when I do I can't seem to wake up when the nightmares come. But she knew she couldn't say that allowed, not to Jason.

Jason came up behind and put his hands on her shoulders.

"I worry about you, you know." He leaned down and place a gentle kiss on her neck.

"Well you don't need to!" Sam turned around to face him.

"I'm fine, I'm not the one who has been beaten up by her boyfriend for months and been to afraid to tell anyone! I'm not the one who's suffering right now! So really it isn't me you need to worry about!" Sam closed her eyes and took a deep breath. When she opened them she saw a concerned Jason looking at her intently.

"I'm sorry; I shouldn't have lashed out at you like that."

"It' ok get it, you have been handling a lot recently."

"Still I shouldn't be talking to you like that with how amazing you been."

Jason gently reached for her hand and led her to the couch. He sat down and motioned for her to sit on the seat next to him.

After she took a seat Jason took her hands in his.

"I know that all this has been really hard for you, if you admit it or not. And I just want to let you know I love you and I'm here for whatever you need."

"No one will ever be able to love a little slut like you!"

"You don't have to say that."

"I'm saying it not because I fell I have to but I want to."

Sam looked down "That is sweet but I'm fine. I swear."

Jason raised a eye brow. "Did you just call me sweet? I'm not sweet."

Sam laughed. "Ok how about strong and sexy."

Jason grinned. "I like the sound of that."

Sam playfully punched him in the arm. "You can be such an ass."

"No." Jason said as he rubbed the spot on his arm where she punched him. "I meant your laugh. It nice to hear you laugh again."

"There really hasn't been much to laugh about recently." Sam said sadly.

"I know. But it will get better. Kristina will get better.

"I hope so. I just hate that this ever happened. I've been her before. I've been in an abusive relationship and felt trapped. I should have seen the signs, she my sister and I didn't help her when I should of."

"Hey," Jason out his hand on either side of her face and their eyes met. "There is no way you could've of known what was going on. You have been an amazing sister. Being there for Kristina in the way you know how."

"But I should've done more." Her voice was now shaking.

You're doing all you can. And that is what's important."

Sam pulled Jason closer to her and into a kiss. After a minute they broke apart. "I love you."

"I love you too."

Jason phone started to go off and he grunted in frustration.

"You should get that it could be important."

Jason sighed before getting off of the couch and answering his phone. "Hello."

"It's important get to the office now." Was the only thing he heard Sonny said before the line went out.

"That was Sonny." He turned to Sam who was now standing only a few feet from him.

"What did he want?"

"I don't know. But he didn't sound good. I think he's about to do something really stupid, I should go."

"Ok."

"And you need to get some rest."

"Yeah I'm going to go back to my apartment and

"No, stay here. You can rest upstairs and I'll be back in a few hours tops."

"Are you sure? I don't want put you out."

Was she kidding? Jason thought to himself. He always loved it when she was at his penthouse. It wouldn't be too soon for him if she moved back in tomorrow but he knew she wasn't ready for that especially with all that was going on. "Yeah you know I love it when you're here." Jason got his jacket out of the closet and put it on.

"Get some sleep, I'll be back soon." He kissed her on the cheek before walking out the door.

By the time Kristina had woken up the next morning Alexis had left for work, and she was relieved. She knew Alexis would want to talk about the charges and she just wasn't ready for that. She may never be ready for that. She walked into the kitchen and saw a note on the counter.

I had to go to work. I won't be back for a few hours,

Mom

She looked in the fridge to see there was nothing but stale milk and cold pizza from the night before. She took out the box of pizza out of fridge and put a slice on a pate she had gotten out of the cabinet.

She had just sat down on the couch when she heard a knock at the door.

Krissy froze. "Could it be him?" Kristina panicked. She was alone….no one could save her now….

Her panicked increased when she saw the door knob turn but relaxed when she saw it was Michael as the door and not Kiefer.

"Oh Michael it's you."

"I didn't man to startle you."

Michael closed the door behind him and came up to where she was sitting on the couch.

"Oh it's alright, I just wasn't expecting you."

"I thought I'd come by to see how you're doing. I brought coffee and scones form Kelly's."

Kristina nose wrinkled. "Coffee?"

Michael laughed. "coffee for me and a Vanilla latte for you."

He sat down beside her and took out two coffee cups and scone out of a brown paper bag.

"Here's your latte and scone," Michael said as he placed it in front of her.

"Thank you Michael."

"Hey I couldn't let my sister have cold pizza for breakfast." There was an awkward moment of silence before Michael spoke up again. "So how are you doing?" he said softly.

"I wish people would stop asking me that." She muttered softly before taking a sip of her latte.

"I remember when I woke up from my comma and people would ask "how are you feeling" it would drive me crazy, because I was angry and confused. So I get it. But I'm asking because I'm concerned."

"I feel stupid and pathetic, stupid that I could stay with a guy that hit me; that I could lie for him and protect him. And pathetic because a part of me misses him after everything he did to me. What is wrong with me?" Kristina started to wipe away the tears that had formed on her face.

"Nothing is wrong with. You're in a lot of pain. You were with a guy that never deserved you. And I'm never going to let that piece of shit near you again."

"I'm sorry Michael I should've listened to you. You tired warning me about him."

"No this isn't your fault. I always realized there was something off about him but I didn't do anything. I hate your self for that. But never blame yourself."

Michael and Kristina hugged.

Jason walked into Sonny's office. The lights were out and he saw a cup of scotch on the desk.

"Sonny," he said making the older man look up at him.

"You finally decided to show up." He grunted and Jason could smell the alcohol on his breath as he walked up to the desk.

"Are you drunk?"

"No I'm not drunk," he slurred. "I'm upset because the son of a bitch who beat my little girl is still out there! Why is that Jason I told you take care of him."

Jason sighed. Carly was right, Sonny was unstable right now. "Sonny I know you want Kiefer out of the way but you need to think about what is best for Kristina."

"I am thinking about Kristina! That all I'm thinking about. I want to make sure that piece of garbage can never touch her again. You need to make him disappear.

"Sonny…"

"No. You don't know what it's like to see your child in pain and not being able to do anything about it because you chose to give up your son."

A look of anger crossed Jason's face but it quickly went a way before Sonny couold notice it.

All of a sudden the door slammed open and Alexis came in the room. With Max right behind her.

"Sorry boss I tried to stop her ."

"I need to talk to Sonny, alone."

"Uh it's alright. I'll be back later."

With that Jason left the room. Alexis gave Max a pointed look letting him know that is presence was no longer welcome. So he exited the room, closing the door behind him.

"What the hell Alexis? Me and Jason were in the middle of something."

"We need to talk about Kristina."

"How is she?"

"How you think? She's a mess Sonny. Which you would know if you had bothered to come by and see her since she got out of the hospital!"

"I've been busy."

"To busy for your daughter? Stop being a selfish ass and put your daughters needs before your own for once! This is not about you. Kristina needs us, both of us so just get over yourself Sonny!" Then Alexis left the office, slamming the door behind her, leaving Sonny to think about what she'd said.

Jason walked into the penthouse relieved he'd gotten back in a good amount of time. He started to head upstairs hoping Sam would still be there.

Sam came back to the apartment to find seven empty beer bottles on the coffee table and Nico passed out on the couch.

She walked over to pick up the bottles careful not to wake Nico. She was about to walk to the kitchen to through them away when she felt a cold hand tighten around her wrist.

She looked up to see Nico.

"Hey I tried not to wake you just wanted to up this mess." Her voice was shaking.

"Where were you?" She could tell from the slurring in his voice that he was drunk.

"Um…just out." She tried to pull away from him but he just tightened the grip on her hand and pulled her closer to him.

"Where were. I woke up and you were gone. We're you trying to leave me?" He let go of her wrist and push her down onto the floor.

"No…I swear. I was just going for a walk. I swear. You know I love you Nico." She replied weekly.

Nico smiled and all of a sudden the anger was gone. "That my kitten.

He picked her up off the floor and yanked her arm and pulled her over to the couch. Pushing her down. He layed on top of her and started kissing her down her neck.

"Nico…stop Not when you're drunk."

But he didn't listen and started to shove his tongue down her throat. His hand moved to shirt and started to forcefully unbutton it."

There were now tears running down Sam's face. She hated it when he got like this. She finally was able to kick him in the groin.

This through Nico off guard and he fell off her and onto the floor. Sam took this as an opportunity to run to the bathroom. Once she was inside she shut and locked the door behind her. She curled up on the floor behind the sink.

"Open this door right now you little bitch!"

"Leave me alone!" Sam shot up from the bed to feel arm wrapped tightly around her. She started hitting them until she heard Jason's voice.

"Hey it's just me your safe. It was just a dream." Jason kisse the back of Sam head and gently ran his fingers through her gair to sooth her.

When she got home the first thing she saw was Molly typing on her computer on the couch. "Where's your sister?" Alexis asked.

"In her room." Molly answered without even looking up.

Alexis nodded and started to head upstairs. When she reached the door to Kristina's room she knocked before answering the door.

"Hey I just got home and wanted to see how you were doing."

"Fine."

"Michael came over today." Kristina said after a pause.

"That must have been nice."

"It was. I think it helped."

"Good."

"Do we have to talk about the charges tonight?" Krisitna gave her a pleading look.

"No, of course not. Not until you're ready."

Kristina sighed in relief.

"I should probably go start on dinner." Alexis gently kissed her daughter on the head before walking out of her room and heading for the kitchen.

Kiefer cursed as passed the Davis lake hours for the fifth time. He needed to talk to Kristina alone, so no one could interrupt them. But her self righteous bitch for a mother had gotten home and it didn't look like she'd be leaving anytime soon. He had tried to get into the house earlier but Kristina bastard brother had shown up. Kiefer had always hated Michael. Michael had never trusted him with Kristina and treated him like he was total garbage. But Kiefer was not the one that was a little brain damage freak. Michael thought he could get away with shit because he was Sonny Corinthos son. But not even Michael could keep him away from Kristina. She was his girlfriend. What right did her family have to try to keep her from him? Just because he made a mistake? This was between him and Kristina. Her family needed to stay out of their business. He would just have to wait until Kristina was at the house alone. Kiefer parked his car in a discrete spot behind a tree across from the Davis. He could wait, no matter how long it would take. Je would make K understand.

A/N:
There will be more Kristina in future chapters.

SPOILER: Something real big is going tp happen and start in Chapter Four.
