Chapter 10:

Sami was in a lot of pain and very weak. Alan undid the ropes which were tying her to the bed and helped her up. She couldn't walk, her legs were to weak to do so and she fell on the floor. Alan shouted at her to get up and when she didn't. He hit her with the belt on her back and her legs and kicked her in the stomach. Sami was covered in bruises as blood was starting to appear on her bruises and cuts. He lifted her up slamming her against the wall and started hammering himself in her with so much force that she started to faint.

All of a sudden someone grabbed Alan from behind and spinned him around and started punching the hell out of him as Sami collapsed on the floor. EJ was too fast, so when the others finally arrived, EJ had already beaten Alan unconscious. They had to remove EJ from Alan by all the strength they had as he couldn't stop himself until he heard Samantha's name. He rushed over to her, tears running down his cheeks. Sami lied lifeless on the floor naked. EJ started giving her CPR while Hope phoned for the ambulance.

'Please Samantha breath sweetheart, you have to breath' he told her as he gave her mouth to mouth again and pumped her chest.

'You have to open those beautiful blue eyes Samantha please sweetheart, the children need you, I need you, I can't live without you' EJ pleaded with her while holding her closely to him as the others watched crying at what they were witnessing.

'E..EJ' Sami tried.

EJ's face light up at the sound of her voice calling him.

'Samantha darling you are going to be fine sweetheart, I'm here, you're safe' he told her tears still covering his face.

'It..it hurts E..EJ' Sami chocked.

EJ could see that she was covered in bruises and blood. He covered her with her dress which was still on the floor as the paramedics arrived on site.

They took Sami in the ambulance and EJ went with her as Will drove his car back to the hospital.

Back in the hospital everyone waited eagerly for Sami's doctor to come out and let them know how she was. EJ couldn't stop pacing up and down the corridor. The doctor came out.

'How is she doctor? Is Samantha going to be fine?' EJ asked desperately.

'Sami suffered a terrible trauma, the cuts are not that deep so they will heal by time, her ribs are not broken although she is severly bruised in that area. No diseases were transmitted so she should recover just fine but it might take some time for the shock to wear off' the doctor told them.

Everyone was relieved.

'EJ she keeps calling your name so I guess you better go near her, I think she needs you' the doctor told him.

EJ ran to her room. She was lying on the bed tears coming down her pale face as she starred up at the ceiling. EJ sat down next to her not sure if he should touch her hand but he couldn't hold himself.

'Samantha, it's me sweetheart' he told her while caressing her hair.

Sami looked at him and she started crying loudly signaling EJ to hold her as she buried her face in his chest. EJ felt like his heart was being torn apart knowing that she was in so much pain and yet he couldn't do anything to take that pain away.

'It hurts so much EJ, I can't stand it. I feel so dirty and I can't move because my ribs hurt, and I can't scratch myself because my body hurts EJ' Sami told him crying as he cried with her holding her in his arms and not letting her go.

'You need to rest sweetheart so that you don't feel the pain, I wish I could take it all away Samantha' EJ told her sadly.

'I can't close my eyes without seeing his face EJ, I'm so scared EJ, what if he comes after me again?' Sami cried.

'He's not coming after you sweetheart, he's barely still alive...he is lying handcuffed in one of the hosipital bed with two securities at his door' EJ told her.

'How did you find me EJ, I thought you never would' she told him.

'I wouldn't have stopped until I found you Samantha. He called me and gave me the link to his website as I watched helplessly what he was doing to you' EJ informed her.

Pain was all over his face as the memory of seeing what Alan was doing to Sami came rushing back. Sami reached out her hand and stoked his cheek as tears came down his face as she did.

'I am so sorry you had to see that, it must have been awful' she told him.

'Yes it was' EJ said.

They kept talking for a while until they both fell asleep their heads on one pillow next to each other.
