What happened next happened so fast Andy couldn't have stopped it if she tried. It felt like one minute he was standing in the doorway and the next minute he was standing in front of her beating the crap out of Luke, she couldn't stop him it was probably only 30 seconds before Dov and Chris pulled Sam off Luke, it felt like he had been pounding on him for an eternity. Even when Chris and Dov came, he broke away and got in a few more hits. Andy stood there shocked, she had never seen him like this, this angry. She screamed begging him to stop but her screams fell on deaf ears. Finally the boys pulled Sam away and Luke stayed on the ground grunting.
Oliver and Frank ran out and saw lLuke laying there.
Frank: Epstein call and ambulance!
Frank walks over to Sam
Frank: What the hell did you do? You know, what never mind don't say a word until we find out if Callaghan is going to press charges. Go home Swarek.
Sam just stood there staring at Andy. She looked so upset, and she looked at him as though as she was so disappointed. She walked up to Oliver and then came back to Sam.
Andy: Give me your keys.
Sam: I am fine, Andy.
Andy: Fine? You are fine? Good for you! Give me your keys. Oliver is going to take you home.
Sam: Where are you going?
Andy: To the hospital to make sure Luke is alright.
Sam : Andy, please come home with me.
Andy: I will be home once I know Luke is going to be ok. Goodbye Sam.
The way she said goodbye to him was unsettling...he couldn't stop thinking about it. That or the way she looked at him.
Sam: I really screwed up.
Oliver: Why did you do that? I mean I know you don't like the guy, Sam but geez man, we were having such a good night.
Sam: He kissed her.
Oliver: What? Did she...?
Sam: No, She pushed him away. I don't know, he was just pawing at her and to see him kiss her, I just...
Oliver: I get it brother.
Sam: This has been such a good night, and then that happened. I lost it. She looked so disappointed.
Oliver: She will be OK, she just needs some time. Is it bothering you that she is with him right now?
Sam: She is Andy, it doesn't surprise me.
Oliver: That's not what I asked you, I asked if it bothered you.
Sam: Thanks for the ride brother, i will see you tomorrow. That is, if I have not been suspended.
Sam walked into the apartment and looked around the living room, just the night before he had proposed and now he was standing there by himself while his fiance was at the hospital with her ex. Not a good feeling not even close. He laid on the couch waiting for her to come home.
Andy walked into Luke's hospital room after he was done getting stitches. He saw her and smiled.
Luke: You're here.
Andy: Yup. How are you feeling?
Luke: Aside from the headache, I am good. Glad to see you.
Andy: What the hell was that tonight?
Luke: He is the one who hit me, ask him.
Andy: Can you blame him?
Luke: I suppose not.
Andy: Why did you kiss me?
Luke: Because, I miss you.
Andy: Since I got engaged?
Luke: Andy...
Andy: No seriously. We broke up, we went our separate ways. I thought we were in a good place where, we could be friends.
Luke: I have never seen you as my friend Andy. You should know that. I screwed up with Jo, I wish I could take it back but I can't.
Andy: It doesn't matter anymore.
Luke: It does matter! You are the love of my life. I messed up but I want to fix it.
Andy: Luke, I am going to say something and I am not saying it to hurt you. I am not the love of your life, it I was you never would have slept with Jo, and I never would have wanted to be with Sam. But you did sleep with Jo, and I fell in love with Sam. If we were meant to be, If I were the love of your life that would not have happened.
Luke: Yeeaah.
Andy: You know I am right. I am sorry this hurt you, me getting married. But you can't have me work on some fake case to spend time with me and you certainly can't be kissing me. I am truly, truly sorry that Sam did this but you shouldn't have done what you did either.
Luke: I suppose I did provoke him.
Andy: You think?
Luke: I'm sorry Andy, I guess I just was wondering if things would be different if I hadn't slept with Jo. I have always regretted it.
Andy: I know, I still care about you Luke. I would hope that we could be friends
Luke: We can try.
Andy: Ok, I need to go home.
Luke: Sam must be thrilled you are here.
Andy: Don't look so happy about it! Goodnight Luke.
Luke: Bye Andy.
Andy stood outside their condo door hoping that Sam was asleep. She was not in the mood to deal with any of this now. She defended Sam to Luke but she was so angry at him she could barely see straight. She opened the door to find Sam sitting on the couch. No TV, no music, just sitting in the dark waiting for her.
Sam: Hey.
Andy: Hi
Sam: Andy I...
Andy: Sam, I am tired. I am going to bed.
She walks into the bedroom, Sam is right behind her but she slams the door in his face.
Sam: Andy come on. Andy!
Andy swings the door open.
Andy: Sam, it is 3am and this has been a really long night.
Sam: I did what I felt like I had to do.
Andy: Seriously? So you him laying there on the ground after the first three punches and you kept hitting him because that is what you just had to do? Really, Sam?
Sam: I just saw him kissing you with his hands all over you. I lost it.
Andy: You can't do that, you can't use that as an excuse every time something happens. I am an adult Sam and I had it handled. I thought we got passed this? I thought you trusted me.
Sam: I do...more than anyone.
Andy: So why do that? I mean fine, if you punched him once I would have expected that but to go after him like that...
Sam: Please come sit down with me. Please.
Andy Follows him to the couch and sits down, looking annoyed but willing to listen...that was a start.
Sam: I really messed up tonight. I was having so much fun you know, celebrating with everyone. You had been gone for a little while so I just went to check and make sure you were ok. When I walked out there and saw him kissing you. For a split second, before you pushed him away. I thought I lost you to him.
Andy: Sam...
Sam: That wasn't me tonight. I lost my cool. It is crazy, I kept calm with Boyd, and Anton. But Callaghan...it's a whole other story.
Andy: Why do you let him get to you like that?
Sam: I don't know.
Andy: You must have some idea.
Sam: You loved him first! Happy?
