Jason ran as fast as he could after Robin she was running so much faster. Her anger and sadness fueling her to get away from him. She couldn't--didn't want to accept the thought of Jason being with Carly. She finally turned a corner looking back to see if she had lost him but he was right behind her. Robin ran all the way to the bridge before stopping. Jason and Robin were both out of breath but Robin felt so bad that she just had to shout, "Why?! Tell me! I have to know! Was it me?! What did I do wrong, Jason?!""Nothing, Robin. You didn't do anything wrong. What happened was--had nothing to do with you." Jason assured her not that his word meant anything to her right now.
"Please, just tell me one thing." Robin had to know this one thing.
"What?" Jason asked whole hearted.
"Did you make love to Carly or did you just have sex with her?" Robin saw his face seem unsure, "Because if it was just having sex with her I think I could handle it a little more than you two making love. It would hurt me so much more." Robin didn't want to hear his answer either way but she had to know.
"I want to be honest with you. The truth is Carly and I didn't just have sex. I didn't think I felt anything for her but a friendly bond I swear to you. But when she almost died not once but twice I knew that wasn't all I felt about her just by the way I acted. And I am the one who made the first move Carly was telling me I shouldn't because of you." Jason walked to bridge ledge and rested his arms, "Robin, I love you. You're everything to me but these feelings I have for Carly are getting stronger and I've tried to ignore them and hide them but it's not working. I'm sorry."
"You're in love with her?" Robin was even more hurt by the thought of him being in love with Carly.
"Yes, I am." Jason answered.
"And you're supposedly in love with me too?" Robin questioned his feelings.
"Yes." Jason turned to her, "You probably never want to see me again and I understand. I was thinking maybe I should just leave for awhile. Leave everyone alone. This whole thing with me isn't fair to you or Carly." Jason nodded, "I'll see you later, ok?"
"Jason, you don't have to leave. We can figure something out." Robin said letting her love for him talk for her, "I really want you to stay."
"I just have to figure out what's going on with me and I think I can do it better by myself. I am so sorry you found out like this." Jason kissed her hand and left.
**********Carly held Michael and knocked on the door pretty loudly. She was still trying to clear her head. Michael had a confused look on his face. He wasn't sure if his mom was happy or sad. Carly smiled at Michael trying to keep in mind that Jason had told her before that Michael could since when she was upset. The door opened and Bobbie answered, "Carly? What are you doing here?"
"I didn't know where else to go. I'm sorry if I'm here too late." Carly looked around noticing her lights were low.
"No, it's just I have some company over." Bobbie was a little nervous.
Carly noticed Bobbie seemed a little red in the face, "Oh, my God, did I interrupt something?"
"No. You and Michael are welcome anytime." Bobbie took Michael and gestured for Carly to come in. She was shocked to see Jerry Jax on Bobbie's couch.
"Hello, Caroline." Jerry said and stood.
"Hi, Jerry." Carly didn't exactly like the thought of some guy moving in on her mom especially since she hated all men at this moment, "I kind of want to speak with Bobbie alone if it's alright with you?" Carly took Michael again.
"Surely." Jerry excused himself with a nod. Bobbie and Jerry whispered something to each other before he left. Bobbie walked back into the room with Carly and Michael, "Ok, Carly. You have all my attention. What's wrong?"
"I left out some things out about the island." Carly handed Michael to Bobbie once again.
"What did you leave out?" Bobbie bounced Michael on her knee.
"I almost died twice on the island." Carly wasn't through explaining what she had to when Bobbie interupted her.
"Oh my God!" Bobbie started checking Carly for marks, "Are you ok? Are you hurt? How are you feeling?"
"I'm fine, Bobbie. Thanks for concern." Carly laughed and then continued, "Jason saved me both times."
"Well, what happened? How did you almost die twice?"
"I almost drowned once and I almost fell off a cliff thing too." Carly was weary of giving her mother every detail.
"Thank God for Jason." Bobbie sighed.
"Yeah, after he had saved my life we found this cave in the side of the mountain and decided to stay there for the night." Carly was now having second thoughts about telling Bobbie what had happened.
"What happened next, Carly?" Bobbie could see something was bothering Carly.
Carly shook her head from one side to the other a little and she tried not to burst into tears but she did. Bobbie wanted to hold her daughter but she was still holding Michael, "Carly, I'll be right back. I'm going to go lay Michael down upstairs." Bobbie excused herself and went to the small room she kept for Michael when Michael was over.
Carly put her hands on her eyes trying to hold them back. She was ashamed of the way she was laying this all on Bobbie. Bobbie came running back down the stairs and sat next to Carly, "Ok,I'm here."
Carly turned to her mom crying like she was a little girl who had just scraped her knee, "That night," Carly wiped her tears constantly," Jason told me he loved me and made love to me. I told him that maybe it wasn't such a good idea but he still insisted. I didn't want to but when he kissed me and held me I just couldn't resist." Carly started to cry in her mother's arms. Bobbie held Carly close rubbing her back trying to comfort Carly. Carly pulled back, "He doesn't even know he's breaking my heart. He doesn't understand how much this hurts, you know. It's like he's showing me something worth wanting and needing then he just takes it away. I keep trying to tell myself he doesn't want me and that he just was scared he'd never see Robin again," Carly paused, "But then I think of that night and what he said. The way he looked at me. I thought for sure he was telling me the truth. I feel so safe from physical harm when he's around but my emotions are never intact," She shook her head again, "It's like I'm stupid all over again. All he has to do is look at me and I fall to pieces. No matter how hard I fight it I can never stop my feelings. I can't keep doing this. I love Jason and he is--" Carly finally just stopped talking.
Bobbie knew that Carly really was in love with Jason. Who could blame her? Jason had done everything for Carly and never once did he ask for anything in return he just gave her everything she had ever wanted. Bobbie had thought once or twice that maybe Jason felt a little more for Carly then he let on. Now, it was all coming into focus. Jason loved Robin but not the way he loved Carly. Bobbie was so mad at Jason though. This had to stop, "Carly, why don't you stay here tonight, ok?"
"What? I don't want to do that, Bobbie. I already interupted you and Jerry."
"Lucas is gone tonight. It's the weekend and he wanted to stay with a friend so take his bedroom."
"I don't know."
"Caroline." Bobbie gave Carly a stern look.
Carly grinned, "You are a really good mother. Did you know that?" Carly praised.
"No. But thanks for telling me." Bobbie stood Carly up," Now go to bed."
"I have to call Jason I didn't even tell him I was taking Michael out. He's probably really worried." Carly sniffled.
"I'll call him." Bobbie told Carly.
"Ok thanks," Carly looked down and then back at Bobbie, "Mom."
Bobbie was surprised but wasn't going to spoil it by bringing it up. She just let Carly go upstairs. What Carly didn't know was that Bobbie wasn't going to call Jason; she was going to see him and settle this once and for all.
