The Way I Want it to Be Disclaimer: I don’t own any Days characters. I give permission for this story to be archived on Second Chances. Note: This story takes place after Friday’s (Aug 12) show. Lucas is talking about how he wants to nail Stan and you see Sami being held in his arms and she struggling not to cry. This is how I would write that scene. -------------- "We’ll do it together," Lucas said. "We’ll find him and then we’ll make him pay." He held Sami tight in his arms. She didn’t say anything but soon he realized that she was trembling and a moment later her shoulders began to shake and sobs over took her. "Sami? Baby what’s wrong?" She turned around in his arms and wrapper her arms around his neck. "Oh God. I have to do this, but I don’t want to, but I can’t hide it anymore. Even if I lose you I just can’t keep this secret anymore. The terror…the dread…I…you have to know. Oh God…I can’t lose you…please don’t leave me…please, please, please." "Sami, you’re not making any sense. Baby calm down. I’ll never leave you. Tell me what’s wrong." "I will. I have to…but I’m so afraid." Lucas guided her to the sofa and had her sit down. She was so worked up that he thought she might faint. She did that sometimes when she was this distressed. "Sami, take a breath and just talk to me. I promise to listen." "I have to tell you something. It’s bad Lucas, its real bad, but, it’s not all my fault. Swear you’ll hear me out before you start screaming at me." "I promise to listen to you." "Promise you won’t interrupt. If I stop, I won’t be able to finish." "I promise." He was totally confused, but it was obvious Sami needed to tell him something extraordinary. "You know Kate set me up. I was destroyed that night. I lost you and your love. You abandoned me just like all the others. Your leaving hurt worse though, because you had promised to not do to me what Brandon and Austin had done. Plus, you were my soul mate. I foolishly believed we would be together forever." "Sami, I’m so sorry." "Lucas, don’t interrupt. Just let me tell you this nightmare that I’ve been carrying." Lucas looked at her and nodded his head. "The only thing worse than that night was the next day. Will hated me. He moved out. I was alone. Helplessly and hopelessly alone. I actually thought about suicide. For the first time in my life I had nothing, and I do mean nothing to live for." "Sami!" Lucas gasped. He knew he had hurt her but only now did he fully understand the depth of her pain. Sami put her finger to his lips to silence him. She needed to continue. "The phone rang and when I answered it there was some robotic like voice saying ‘revenge’. Then the newspaper came and the whole paper only said revenge. I went to the computer and in blood red letters was the word revenge. The same thing happened with the television. I was starting to feel weird, and afraid. I wanted to come and get you…to show you what was happening…but…well…I doubted at that moment you would have believed anything I said, or even cared for that matter. "The phone rang again, and I demanded to know who was calling, but they wouldn’t tell me. I was given instructions. Open the door. Let them in. I…I did. It was like I couldn’t stop from obeying. Lucas, these people came in my home. I don’t know who, and I can’t even remember what they looked like anymore, but they were here and they did something to me. They changed me. Lucas, they turned me into someone else. I couldn’t fight it though. I was there, inside myself, watching myself do things, and yet I couldn’t stop it. It was almost like watching a movie." "Sami, who were you?" Lucas asked. "You saved me," she said. "I wasn’t strong enough to fight the mind control. I was weak, but then you came, and suddenly I remembered who I was, and that I loved you, and that I wanted my life back again, that I needed to see my son and get my family back. You gave me the power to break through whatever it was that Tony did to me." Sami watched Lucas’ eyes go wide as suddenly her words were coming together for him. "No, Sami, this isn’t possible. Tell me you weren’t." "Lucas, Tony forced me to be Stan." Lucas jumped from the sofa. He started to pace the room back and forth, his mind swirling. "But how? I saw Stan. He was a man. Sami, you aren’t the right height, the right body size. I don’t understand." "There’s a lot of it that I don’t understand myself. I really don’t know how I ended up in the war zone. For the longest time I didn’t know Tony was the person controlling me. It wasn’t until I woke up at the bunker that I saw him. Lucas, you have no idea how frightening it is to not be in control of your own body. "When I saw Tony I tried to fight the control. I hate him. He destroyed my family. Then he continued with the mind control. He showed me videos of my parents. He said only Stan could save them. They were waiting to be saved, stuff like that, like some freaking mantra or something. Then he sent me out into the desert. "He told me that I had to get some people to come back to the bunker. He didn’t say who, but he said my parents lives depended on it. Well, I did as told. I went to the desert and ran into the guys. Even when I saw them I still felt helpless to stop what I was doing. Then I saw you. Suddenly there was a battle going on inside my head. I knew you. I loved you. You could save me. But then you shot me." Lucas suddenly looked ill as he realized what he had done. He had only nicked her arm, but at the time he had been aiming to kill. He almost shot Sami dead where she stood. The memory must have been just as terrifying for Sami as she suddenly shivered. "I…I don’t remember much after that. I don’t know if I passed out or if I went into shock or something. The next thing I remember is waking up back in the bunker with a bandage on my arm. Tony was there. I jumped up and said it was over. I wasn’t helping him anymore. I said you had come for me and that I was going home. He just laughed. He said no one had come for me. No one even cared that Sami Brady was missing and that you guys were only there because he was holding Philip hostage. I told him he was lying but he said he could prove it. He showed me Philip. He was in bad shape. I demanded that Tony help him but again he laughed. I begged for him to at least give him some water, which I think he did." Sami paused for a moment to try and get the strength to continue. "He tried once again to get me back under control but it wouldn’t work this time. Just knowing you were close gave me strength to fight it." "Then Tony changed his tactic. Since he couldn’t control me anymore, he decided to blackmail me. He said to either cooperate or watch you die. He swore to kill you, and then he threatened Will too. Oh God, I was so scared." Sami began to cry. "We were both is so much danger and I couldn’t even imagine Will being dragged into that mess. I had no choice. I had to continue being Stan or else you were going to die." Her crying became so intense that Lucas pulled her into his arms to comfort her. She clung to him like a life line. "There was a moment when you looked through a small window and I was there. I looked like Stan but you knew me. You knew my eyes." "I remember that," Lucas said, "but at the time I thought I must have been crazy." "Tony was the crazy one, and getting crazier by the second. I didn’t know what was happening outside the bunker, but he must have felt threatened. Suddenly he said that he was going to kill all of you anyway. I couldn’t let that happen. I tore off the disgusting costume and fought off my guard. That was how I got my bruises, but I didn’t care. I had to save you, and everyone else. You know the rest. I got into your cell and we escaped." "Why did you run out into the battlefield that day?" Lucas asked. "Honestly, at that moment I just wanted to die. It would have been better to die than to have everyone find out that Tony had brainwashed me to be Stan and do the horrible things I did. Lucas, I…Stan….did some really bad stuff." "Sami, why didn’t you tell me this before?" Sami actually laughed. "Lucas, you NEVER would have believed me. You kept telling me over and over and over and over that you could never trust me ever again. You made it very clear that even if I told you the truth you wouldn’t have believed a word I said. So I kept my secret and I prayed. I prayed I could find a way to vindicate myself about the cheating, because only if I could prove my innocence about that would I be able to finally tell you about Stan." Lucas let go of her and walked towards the door. Fresh tears began to fall down Sami’s face as she realized Lucas was about to leave her…again. "Lucas, before you go, I just want to say I love you. I’m sorry, and I understand why you don’t want to be with me now, just…just please don’t tell anyone else. I had no control over the things I did, but we both know no one will ever believe me and I have no way of getting proof this time. It’s not like there are tape cassettes out there of Tony brainwashing me. Please, if you have to leave me…then leave me…but don’t send me to jail." Sami collapsed on to the sofa and buried her face into a pillow as she cried her eyes out. Part of Lucas wanted to leave, but not for the reason Sami was thinking. He just wanted to go somewhere so he could sit and think about everything he had just learned. One look at Sami though and he knew he couldn’t leave. She was every bit as distraught as she had been the night he canceled their wedding. A new thought popped into his head, one he had never realized before. Sami was capable of being suicidal. She had thought about it twice, and almost carried it out once when she ran out onto the battlefield. What if he left her now and she couldn’t handle it? No, he would have to deal with his own emotions later. Right now Sami needed him. He walked over to the sofa and raised her head up. "Lucas?" "Shh," he soothed. "Everything is going to be okay." He scooped her up into his arms and carried her to the bedroom. He laid her down and climbed into bed next to her. He wrapped his arms around her tightly and rested his chin on top of her head. "I thought you would leave me." "I’m not going anywhere," Lucas said. "I admit, you definitely dropped a big one on me today, and I’m still dealing with it, but it hasn’t changed how I feel about you. I love you, Sami. I always have and I always will." "Thank you," she said with a sob and a hiccup. "I knew I might lose you once I told you the truth, but I couldn’t lie to you. You deserve better than that. We’ve both been lied to enough in this life time." "I agree," he said. "If we are going to get married there can’t be anymore secrets between us ever again. I don’t care what happens from now on. I want you to come to me right away and tell me. I won’t let anyone hurt you anymore, and I promise to believe you. If someone threatens you or wants to hurt you in anyway you have to tell me and I promise I’ll take care of it." "Lucas, as we were leaving the bunker Tony threatened to get me back for betraying him. He called Nicole and told her I was Stan. She didn’t tell anyone because I know she botched Chloe’s surgery. She helped me get the tapes from Eugenia. Now she is trying to blackmail me into helping her get Brady back. I’ve told her there is nothing I can do. Brady loves Chloe, but she won’t listen. She’s threatening to expose me if I don’t help her get him back. Lucas, I don’t know what to do." "Right now I don’t want you to do anything. We’ll deal with this problem in the morning, and we will deal with it together. You’re not alone anymore, Sami. I going to be with you through the good times and the bad." "Lucas, I love you so much." "I love you. I need you to promise me something." "What?" "No more talk of suicide, ever. Sami, it would kill me if you died. Even if we argue over something. Even if I storm out of the apartment. Even if I don’t talk to you for a week. Please, don’t ever think you have to kill yourself. I know I have a temper, and sometimes I lose it, but face it, we are soul mates, and I always come back. I couldn’t leave you even if I wanted to. Lord knows I’ve tried, and I always end up right back here. So do you promise?" "I promise," Sami said. "But Lucas, you need to realize something too. I’m…I’m not as strong as everyone thinks I am. I try to be, I’ve had to be for most of my life, but with the more time that passes I just can’t keep up the charade. I have feelings, I hurt, and though many people don’t believe it, I do have a heart and it bleeds just like everyone else’s." "Sami I already know that," he said. "I’ve known about your weaknesses as well as your strengths for a long time now. It’s because of your broken heart that Tony was able to brainwash you. He waited until you were at your weakest point to come after you and use you. That’s how Tony works. I should know. I used to work for him. Sami, I don’t blame you for being Stan. If anything, I blame my mother. If she hadn’t interfered we would have been married, and you would have been safe. Tony never would have gotten you then." "Thank you for understanding. You have no idea how good it feels to finally be free." Sami let out a big yawn and she snuggled down in his arms and made herself comfortable. Soon her breathing evened out and he knew she was asleep. He scooted down a little so he could look into her face. It was still streaked with tears. He was tempted to wipe them away but didn’t want to take the chance of waking her. Tonight’s confessions had taken their toll on her. Damn his mother. Tony never would have got Sami if she hadn’t been such a bitch. He vowed to himself to never let her come between him and Sami ever again. For that matter, Tony DiMeira better stay the hell away, too. He had already shot one man to protect someone he cared about and he wouldn’t hesitate to do it again. If Tony came after Sami he’d put a bullet between his eyes and never think twice. Tomorrow he would have to have a little talk with his ex-wife. After tomorrow Nicole wouldn’t be bothering his fiancé anymore, either. He closed his eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep knowing the woman he loved was safe in his arms. The end |
