Sam had been out of the hotel for three weeks and nothing was like it was suppose to be. Sam still had stitches but the staples were out, she had also manage to get a new line of stitches in because she had pulled them out less than a week being home by moving the wrong way and tearing them. But that wasn't what caused her to be up late at night wondering what was going to happen next. Since she been home Jason had done a 180 on her. The first week she was home, he was there to make sure she was okay and talked to her. She had thought things were good between them but now she wasn't to sure.
He started being home less and less, and it was to the point where she had enough. She still liked Jason very deeply but she wondered if he still did. She laid there on the couch looking at the door, it was well after midnight and Jason was still not home. Sam couldn't even remember the last time they talked to each other or even ate dinner at the same time. She had even stopped texting him because she would either get no message or a 'I'm busy, we'll talk later' but that never, never came.
So she was waiting up for him because she was tired of it all, she came to the decision she would talk to him or leave, she wouldn't wait around wondering what's going to happen when she didn't need to. So she waited and waited, before she knew it she was falling asleep watching a movie.
Jason was tired as he put his key in the lock to the penthouse. He was exhausted and just wanting to hit the sheets. He walked in and where it was usually dark except for a kitchen light on, there was the soft glow of the television. Sam had started leaving a light on for when he came home which would cause him to go to the kitchen to find her note telling him to eat because she knew he hadn't. But lately he noticed the note had disappeared and the last few nights the light had been turned off. He missed those things because even though it happened every night it gave him something to look forward to coming home.
He quietly shut the door and noticed Sam sleeping on the couch. He as quietly as he could put his keys on the desk and put his leather jacket in the closet. He went and turned off the television and looked at Sam. He hadn't seen much of her lately, he knew that was his fault be since he and Lorenzo came to an understanding things had to be set up with the business, things turned upside down when the other organizations found out that the Corinthos/Morgan called a somewhat truce with Alcazar due to Sam.
He had gotten a few glimpse of Sam walking around the penthouse but not many. He did however always see she was asleep in her bed. For when he came home, after he ate and headed upstairs he would stop to see Sam asleep in her room. Since Sam had changed her sleep wear to a sports bra and boxers since the stitches got irritated by shirts he knew she still had them and that they still caused her a little pain. He went and moved hair out of her face before covering her up. He smoothed her hair out before heading upstairs and going to bed.
Sam wasn't sure what it was that woke her up in the middle of the night but something had. She was startled and didn't like it. She waded up the blanket on her lap and noticed the television was off. She stopped moving and listened closely. When she heard nothing she figured it was just a dream. She also figured since everything was off that Jason had come home and hadn't bothered to wake her. Sighing she headed upstairs and stop at Jason's door to see if she was right.
Sam leaned her head against the door frame as she looked at him asleep in his bed. She could be mean and wake him up but she wasn't wanting to do that. She would just make sure she was up to catch him in the morning. With a heavy sigh she turned pulling the door shut behind her before going across the hall to her own room. Jason had lifted his head when he noticed his door was being closed. Frowning he just figured it was Sam seeing if he was home. Rolling over he just went back to sleep. Sam crawled into bed and laid there, she knew she would either catch him in the morning or she would leave there was no other way around that.
So when Sam's alarm went off at 5 a.m. she crept across the hall to make sure he was still there and when she saw him still in bed she sighed in relief as she went back to her room. She quickly went into the bathroom and started a shower. She figured she had a enough time before Jason got up. Jason woke up to the sound of the shower running. Looking at the clock he was shocked to see Sam was up this early. The entire time he had known her she always slept in.
Hearing the water turned off he figured since he was up he might as well get around. He undressed and wrapped a towel around his waist figuring Sam should be back in her room by now. He walked out the door and was shocked to run into Sam. Jason was taken back by the way she look wrapped in nothing but a towel. He couldn't help his eyes roaming over her. He quickly glanced back up at her. "Your up early" he told her.
She gave him a small smile and he noticed it didn't light her face up like it use to. "Ya got tons to do today, you getting ready for work?" she asked him. He nodded. "Ya got to be in the office by 6," he told her. Sam couldn't take her eyes of his chest she had missed the feel of it and knew how hard it really was. She swallowed the lump in her throat. "Well I'll let you take your shower, Um can I talk to you before you go into work?" she asked him looking anywhere but at him.
Jason raised an eyebrow, Sam was acting strange and he didn't understand why. "Ya, I'll be right out, everything okay?" he asked her. no thought Sam but she but that same sad smile on. "Ya, just haven't seen you in awhile and wanted to talk. It can wait till after your shower" she told him. "ya of course, I'll be right down" he told her before going into the shower. Sam rushed into her room and threw on a tank top and put her hair up in a messy bun before grabbing some fingernail polish and headed downstairs, she was not about to miss Jason.
Sam was almost done painting her toes when Jason came bounding down the stairs fast. She looked at him as he walked over to the desk and started putting things into his pocket. "Jason, Can we talk?" she asked him because it had looked like he had forgotten already as he reached the closet pulling out his infamous leather jacket. "Sorry Sam, Sonny called he needs me in now, really important" he said as he pulled on his jacket and picked up his keys.
By this time Sam was already up and over by the desk. "But Ja…" she started but Jason cut her off. "Sorry Sam, well talk to night okay" he said and out he door he went not even waiting for her to respond. Sam stood there heartbroken, She knew tonight wouldn't come it be something else with work. She bit her lower lips in hope that she wouldn't cry, but it was no use, the tears rolled out as she turned and headed up the stairs to her room.
It killed her with ever article of clothing she placed into the black duffle she had. Two black duffles and an hour later she was done packing everything she owned fit into those two duffles. The tears still haven't stopped and she wasn't sure they would as she descended down the stairs for the last time. She sat them down and placed her keys down on the desk with a piece of paper saying Goodbye, Sam on it. The phone rang and it made Sam jump. "Hello?" she said with a shaky voice. "Okay, thanks" she said into the phone before hanging up. It had been the cab driver letting her know he was down there.
So with that she picked up her bags, turned off the lights and walked out of the penthouse. She made sure the door was locked before getting on the elevator that seemed to take forever to get to her and back down to the lobby. Before she knew it she was giving the cab driver the address of where she needed to get to. It didn't take long for him to pull up to the house. Sam paid the driver and got out as she looked up at the house, with a heavy heart and tear stricken face she went up to the door and knocked. The door opened and the person gave her a funny look, She knew it was early and anyone would be puzzled but she didn't have any other choice. "Can I stay here awhile?" she asked. And with that she walked into the home and place she would stay till she figured out what she would do next….
