Past hurts a lot.

Samantha opened the door of Alexi's bedroom and walked inside and looked at Alexi.

Alexi opened her eyes as she heard her room door opened.

"Sam." Alexi said and a tear falls down from Sam eyes and hugged Alexi.

"You idiot... You scared me to death. Don't do this again." Samantha said as more tears fall down from her eyes and Alexi chuckled.

"Nothing happened to me, Sam. I'm good" Alexi said.

"Shut up. You don't know, How much I was scared." Samantha said.

"It's okay, Sam. I'm good now." Alexi said with a small smile.

"No, You are not! There is something bothering you. Tell me, What it is? I will take care of it." Sam said and Alexi looked her with a shocked face.

"There is... nothing, Sam." Alexi said as she averted her eyes from her.

"Alexi, look into my eyes and tell me that." Samantha said and Alexi signed.

"I already told you, Sam. It's nothing. Just work stress." Alexi said.

"Okay, fine. If you don't want to tell me, I will find it myself." Samantha said and Alexi looked at Samantha.

"Sam, please. Don't do anything which we will regret later. I am telling you its nothing. If i can't bear it. I will come to you then you can take care of it please." Alexi said.

"What is that you are keeping a secret away from me, Alexi?" Samantha asked and Alexi signed again.

"Sam, please. Understand me for god's sake. I said to you already if i can't take of it. I will come to you." Alexi shouted.

"Ok, Okay. Fine. Don't stress yourself. I will not do anything." Samantha said and Alexi nodded.

Just then, Liam opened the door and walked inside followed by everyone.

"What happened? Why Alexi is shouting?" Liam asked and Alexi looked at everyone in questing look.

"Am I dreaming or all of these members are here in my bedroom?" Alexi asked.

"Nothing, Dad. You know, how Alexi anger issues are!" Samantha said and Alexi growled.

"You have anger issues, not me." Alexi said.

"Girls, it's not the right time to fight. We have guests in our house." Liam said as he walked to Alexi and kissed her forehead.

"How are you feeling now?" Liam asked Alexi.

"Good, Dad." Alexi said.

"Hello, Babygirl." Damon said as he walked towards her and sat beside Alexi.

"Hello, Uncle Damon." Alexi said and hugged Damon and he kissed her hair.

"You feeling good now?" Damon asked and Alexi nodded her head in yes.

"So, Here. This is my younger daughter Alexi Julie." Liam said with a proud voice.

"And, Lexi. This is Robert and Thomas. I guess you know, who they are?" Liam asked and Alexi nodded.

"Who doesn't know them, Dad? They are famous Davis and Anderson... But, why are they in our home?" Alexi asked.

"They are my best friends. Liam and Cassandra met them all before. And we all were at Johnson's party when we got to know you fainted. So, everyone ran here to check on you." Damon said and Alexi turned to others.

"I'm so sorry that I made you all worry about me." Alexi said.

"No dear. Don't be sorry. You are like our daughter and we are a family. Of course, we will get worried about you." Robert said and Alexi looked at Samantha with a questioning look.

Samantha nodded her head at Alexi with a small smile but Alexi still couldn't believe that Robert said they are a family now because the Julie family believed, who said they are their family and will always support them but those people betrayed them and backstabbed them and they lost their trust on whom say, we are a family now.

Alexi eyes get teary but, she tried her best to not make them fall down from her eyes and nodded her head because she couldn't trust her voice. It may give up any time and show everyone her broken side.

Just then, Lucy walked inside with the soup and handed it to Alexi and asked. "You feeling better now?" And Alexi nodded in Yes.

"Good! Have this soup and I will give your medicines then you can take rest." Lucy said and Alexi nodded with a smile and said. "Thank you, Aunt Lucy."

Lucy smiled and kissed Alexi's forehead and said. "Have the soup. It will not be tasty if it gets cold." And Alexi asked. "But, Why Sam soup still tastes tasty even after it gets cold?"

Lucy rolled her eyes and said. "Come on, Lexi. I'm not a chef like your sister. She has her own magic in cooking." And Samantha chuckled.

Lucy turned around to Samantha and asked. "What? It seems funny to you? Did you know, how many times I tried to cook like you?" And Damon replied. "But she never gets succeeds." And everyone laughed.

"Shut up, everyone. And you. I will see you at home." Lucy said to Damon.

"It's okay, Aunt Lucy. You know, you can come to my Hotel anytime. We have my private kitchen, I will give you my all secrets on recipes there and show you how to cook them too." Samantha Said with a smile.

"No, Forget it. You always tell that but you never show them." Lucy said with fake anger and Samantha kissed on her cheek.

"Yeah, Sam. Don't do it. Because, If you do? The next minute your private kitchen will be on fire." Damon said and Everyone laughed.

"You..." Lucy said to Damon and ran towards him and started beating him with her fist on his chest but Damon holds her hands tightly and twirled her around and said. "Dr. Lucy Cason, don't forget I'm a Chairman of a law firm. You know, I can sue you for beating your husband."

"Oh, really? Then, try it and tell my husband, Mr. Damon Cason that Dr. Lucy Cason will not back out too." Lucy said and Damon raised his eyebrows at her and said. "You look tempting." And Lucy eyes widened and blushed and everyone cleared their voices and Alexi said. "Yuck... Aunt Lucy and Uncle Damon, stop your Romance. Jesus! I feel so sick now than before. Just leave my room and continue your romance somewhere else."

Damon left Lucy from his arms and chuckled at Lucy blush.

"Seriously, Guys. Leave me alone now." Alexi said again.

"Lexi." Samantha said and shook her head at Alexi.

"Yeah... Yeah... Take a rest." Damon said and everyone walked out.

"What was that, Damon?" Robert asked with a Smirk and Damon chuckle.

"You know, i just love her to tease her." Damon said and Robert nodded with a smile and settled in the Balcony.

"Here. Have the deserts." Samantha said as she forwarded Blunt Smoothies to everyone.

"Thank you, Samantha." Robert said with a smile.

"No Problem, Uncle Robert." Samantha said with a smile back and gave everyone their smoothies and took hers and walked towards the Garden, which is far away from where they sat and stood there seeing the New York night view.

Johnson saw Samantha walking towards the Garden and got up from the couch and slowly walked towards Samantha.

Johnson said. "Hey." And Samantha turned back and saw Johnson and Smiled and said. "Hey."

"Am I disturbing your privacy?" Johnson asked.

"No, not at all. I just feel good to begin alone sometimes." Samantha said and Johnson nodded his head and walked towards her and leans his body to the wall and looked at Samantha and said. "Yes, sometimes it feels good to be alone and it's your choice to be alone but... It feels more better to be in your loved one arms, who shares your pain equally with you and loves you more than anything and take that alone feeling away from you."

Samantha just looked at Johnson as he said about the feeling of being in loved one's arms. She suddenly felt 'how would it be to be in Johnson's arms for the first time.' But, she removed the thoughts from her mind and looked at the view and made her heart strong and said. "Well, it hurts badly when you get hurt from the so-called loved ones."

Johnson nodded and said. "Yes, true. It hurts badly but we should try to forget about it as we don't deserve it and should move on in life."

"Yes, you are right. We should move on but what if it still hunts us? What if it suffocates you to death? What if you feel like, it's worst than death?" Samantha asked looking at Johnson eyes directly and a tear falls down from her right eye, which she tried so hard to control it but, it gave up on her and fall down.

"Hey, I'm so sorry. Please, don't cry... I can't... Bear it... Seeing you cry." Johnson said as he walked close to Samantha.

"No, It's okay..." Samantha said and wiped the tear and looked into Johnson eyes and said. "It's not so easy to forget about the person, who hurts you a lot! When he still has an effect on her even when he is far away from her. It still hurts her. It hurts badly which suffocates her and just wanted to end her life forever from this tor..." Samantha couldn't complete the sentence when suddenly Johnson took her in his arms.
