Jason hung up his phone and his was filled with fear not for him but for those
he cared for.Carly was upstairs with Michael right now.Robin had left to
meet with Brenda.Carly came down the stairs with a smile on her face but
saw Jason's expression.Carly felt her heart stop,"What's wrong?"

Carly had been back for a couple of months.Carly and Robin constantly
butted heads but neither one was leaving.Jason would never ask Robin to
leave again and he would never kick Carly out so he was stuck in the middle.

"Carly,can you sit down for a second?"Jason scratched his chin.

Carly sat down in response.

Jason cleared his throat and sat next to her,"That was Benny."

Carly was scared,"Yeah,and?"

"I have some business to take care of."Jason wasn't going to tell her.

Carly knew he was hiding something,"Jason,what are you not telling me?"

"This trip is also very dangerous."Jason warned her.

"How dangerous?You'll be back,right?"Carly asked.

Jason didn't reply he just gave her a look.

Carly swallowed hard,"You can't go."

Jason stood,"Carly,I have to go.I'm telling you so I know that you'll be
prepared for the worst."

"No there is a difference between what might happen and what will happen
most likely!"

"Carly,I have to go.I have to do this.This is not up for discussion."Jason told
her,"I have to go take care of something.I'll be back later to tell Michael
goodbye before I leave."

"Poor guy doesn't know what's going to happen."Carly mumbled and ran
back upstairs.

Jason wanted to go after her but was going to let her cool down.

Carly looked at Michael,"Oh,Michael.I won't lose him.Not now.Not
ever."Carly whispered to her son and went to her room.

Jason grabbed his things and said goodbye to Robin and Michael.Robin was
crying but she still keep a smile on her face for Jason.Jason looked
around,"Where's Carly?"

Robin shrugged,"I don't know."

Jason nodded,"She's probaly still upset.Tell her I said goodbye,ok?"

Robin put Michael down and hugged Jason.

Jason pulled back and kissed her,"I love you."

"I love you,too,Jason."Robin spoke softly and waved goodbye to him before
he left.Jason had explained the trip to Robin.It was dangerous and he wanted
to her to know it might result in him getting hurt in some way.While he was
riding to the airport he felt a little cheated.He didn't thhink Carly would take
it this bad.He knew she'd have a problem but not saying goodbye was a little
extreme.He was worried that the last time he would ever see Carly they
would have got in a arguement.It's not a good memory and they would

regret it.
 

Jason's flight departed PC Airport.He tapped his fingers on the window.He
was a little fearful right now but he didn't let it show.Out of the blue Jason
heard a loud thud in a small closet that held emergency supplies.Jason
swallowed hard and pulled out his gun.Jason went to the door and slowly
opened.He quickly pointed it at the person who fell to the ground but when
the person looked up he quickly brang his gun down,"Carly?!"

Carly wiped off her clothing and stood up,"Ok before you go off let me
explain."

Jason was outraged,"Carly,what the hell are you doing here?!Do you know
how much danger you're in right now!"

Carly was just as mad at him,"I don't care!"

"Carly,what if you were on this plane and there was bomb or
something!Michael would have no one!Did you ever think about that!?"Jason
shouted at her while she stared down in shame."Of course not.What exactly
were you thinking?!"Carly didn't answer she just continued to look
down,"Carly,you could have got yourself killed.You could still get yourself
killed!"

Carly finally spoke up,"Stop yelling at me!Please.I came to make sure you
didn't get killed."

"Oh and how were you going to do that,Carly?!This isn't just some fist fight
these guys have guns and would not hesitate to kill you!"Jason yelled.

Carly argued with tears filling her eyes,"I don't care!I am not going to let you
die on me!Not now!And I will take any risk to save you!I don't care if I get
hurt!"Just as she said that the lights of the plane started to flicker on and
off.Carly and Jason both looked up and the didn't know it but the plane was
going down...fast.
 

Jason popped up out of the water.The plane had crashed in the water and he
noticed that one of the emergency exits was open.He escaped hoping that
Carly saw the exit too.

He looked around but didn't see anyone else.Jason started to
scream,"Carly!"His voice echoed over the cold waters.He couldn't believe
he had yelled at her so bad he immediately regretted it but what she did was
stupid nonetheless.He didn't know what to do.He started to take deep
breaths and look for her.He did that for a few mintues but Carly was still
nowhere to be found.Jason looked over to see some land not to far away all
he had to do was find her.He tried one last time but started to panic he
thought maybe she was still stuck in the plane.She would die in there.He
wiped his face and screamed again,"Carly!"He spun around in the water and
that's when he saw a body floating face down.He knew who it was right
away by the blond color of their hair.

"Carly!"Jason screamed one last time and swam to her as quickly as
possible.He turned her body over.He put his ear to her mouth.He knew right
away Carly wasn't breathing.She was motionless.Jason grabbed her and
swam fastly to the land.He dragged her dead weight onto the island.He
started to perfom CPR.Robin had taught him before Carly came back.She
still laid there inresponsive to anything he did.Jason started to get so frusrated
he started to yell at her,"Damn it,Carly!Wake up!"He tried it again.Carly
slowly opened her eyes and started to cough.Jason's heart started to beat
again as he turned her to cough up the water she had swallowed.Carly sat up
and wiped her mouth.She was soaking wet.She still had water dripping from
her body.She began to shiver from the cold air.Jason hugged her
tightly,"Thank god

your alright."

Carly wanted to pull away put the feeling of his arms around her made her
feel safe.She was still kind of drained from almost dieing.He felt so warm
even though he was still as wet as she was.

Jason kissed her wet hair and rocked her,"You had me so scared."He took
her face in his hands,"Don't you ever do that to me again,ok?"

Carly nodded and grabbed him again.She laid her head on his shoulder and
closed her eyes.She held onto him refusing to let go not that Jason wanted
her to.Jason was holding on to her just as tight.Jason had never been so
scared in his whole life.

They stayed in each others arms until sunrise.Both occassionaly drifting off
but never letting go.As the sun began to shine down Carly started to wake
up.Jason was already awake trying to think of a way to be rescued.They had
absolutely no way of signaling anyone.Carly moved a little and opened her
eyes.She looked out and saw beautiful blue waters.She thought she was still
dreaming.She wasn't fully aware of where she was yet.Then she remembered
boarding the plane and the crash.She looked down and realized Jason's arms
were wrapped around her.She wanted it to last forever but she knew it
would have to end and soon.She had to back to Michael.So she let go of
Jason and looked at him,"Hi."

"Hi."Jason smiled,"Are you feeling ok?"

"Yeah,I'm fine just a little tired and scared."Carly replied.

"I'm sorry I yelled at you but what you did seemed so stupid and I'm doing it
again aren't I?"Jason sighed.

Carly stood up and wiped the sand off her clothes,"Yeah I love to here
about my mistakes and bad choices this early in the morning."Carly looked at
Jason's watch,"Don't suppose that's water proof?"

"Nope."Jason hit his finger on the watch but it was dead.

Carly ran her hand through her hair and looked around.It was a pretty big
island.Who would look for them though?Carly wasn't about to give up she
was going to get back to Michael.Soon.She looked around.Jason was doing
the

same.Carly bit her lower lip,"Any ideas?"

Jason turned to her,"None yet."Jason sat back down and looked at Carly
who was still trying to think of a way to get off this island.He had almost lost
her last night he didn't like that feeling.

"Jason,maybe we should just get to higher ground you know?See the rest of
this place maybe there are people somewhere."Carly suggested.

Jason snapped out of his thoughts,"Maybe your right.Let's go."Jason stood
back up and they started to walk to higher ground.They walked and
explored.It was a beautiful island if they had planned to be there.They
weren't happy to be there although Carly couldn't help but be smitten with
the island's beauty.The trees were a dark green and flowers grew
everywhere.There was many different colors and plants.They pushed their
way through the bushes.They were protect from the sun do to the trees.The
sky was blue with no clouds and Carly was begining to feel happy until she
was overwhelmed with thoughts of Michael.She saw Jason's expression and
could tell Jason was thinking about Michael the whole time.Carly cleared her
throat,"Do you think he's scared,Jason?"

"Michael?"Jason looked at her,"I hope not."

"Me too.He probaly thinks this a regular thing with us-leaving him for long
periods of time has become constant."Carly stuck her hands in her back
pockets.

"That's not true.I talk to Michael all the time he knows what's going on.We
would never leave him all the sudden for no reason.He knows,Carly."Jason
assured her.

"Your right."Carly's eyes then grew large,"The Quatermaines!"

"What about them?"Jason asked.

"Their going to take my baby.If we're gone--oh no."Carly sat down and
sobbed into her hands.

Jason knelt beside her and pulled her hands away from her face,"I'll get you
back to him,Carly.I promise."

"Yea?"Carly sniffled.

"Yes,I will."Jason wiped away the tears on her face.

"Ok.I just need to relax."Carly started to take deep breaths.

"Besides,Robin wouldn't let them take Michael."Jason told Carly.

Carly laughed sarcastically,"Thanks for ruining my good thoughts,Jason."

"What do you mean?"Jason knew this was going to turn into an arguement.

"Robin?The thought of Robin taking care of my son is suppose to make me
relax and somehow make me feel better!Please!"Carly snapped.

"Carly,Robin loves Michael."

"You know,Jason,we are never going to agree on Robin in terms of
Michael."Carly started to feel tears fill her eyes again.

"Your right."Jason agreed.

Carly nodded,"So this is going to turn into an arguement and it's only been
maybe an hour.I think it's better if we found our own ways back."

"What do you mean?"

"I go one you go the other.I could do without seeing you right now."Carly
walked away.

Jason mumbled,"Fine."He walked the other way.
 

Carly couldn't believe how childish she had just acted.They had to work
together now not apart.But then she jgot this image of Jason,Robin,and
Michael together.She began to ramble to herself and stomp away,"I can't
believe the nerve of Jason and Robin!Who do they think they are?!I mean
I'm not that bad of a person am I?Why doesn't Jason see that I can love him
better than any other woman.He just such an idot he doesn't see it.God,what
a jerk!"She continued to stomp away.She pushed her way eagerly through
the bushes and thought about what he did for her last night.How scared he
looked when he had almost lost her.He was really worried maybe he
cared.But Carly hit her head,"Carly,don't be an idot he doesn't give a damn
about you.He just cares about Robin.Saint Robin.Like she's so perfect.She
just thinks she's so superior and so much better than everybody else!Who
does she thinks she is!?And everyone loves her not just MY Jason but
Bobbie,and Felica,and Mac,and just everybody."Carly didn't realize she had
tears falling,"What's she got that I don't?"Carly stopped for a second and
looked back,"She's got Jason,Carly.That's what she's got."
 

Jason was just as mad as she was.He was pounding his feet on his own
path.He couldn't believe how judemental Carly was of Robin.He too began
to ramble,"Why's she being so paranoid?If anything she should be thanking
me!I mean what have I done wrong?Nothing!She is so self-centered
sometimes I can't believe it.On the other hand she did risk her life to save
me."Jason sighed and got angry at himself for not going after her in the first
place.He hated how Carly could do just about anything and he'd still forgive
her and be mad at himself for yelling at her.Jason started to walk back to the
place to the place they initally split up.As he pushed the last branch back he
saw Carly sitting on a rock waiting.She kicked a rock and then looked up to
see Jason,"Sorry."She mumbled.

Jason smiled,"Me too."

"I shouldn't have brought up the Quatermaines."Carly stood.

"I shouldn't have brought up Robin."Jason added.

"Forgive me?"Carly made a sorry face to him.

"Forgiven."Jason took her hand,"Come on.We better get going."

They saw the same thing for hours.They were growing a little discouraged
not seeing any sign of anything except the trees and plants.But then they
came to an opening.As they pushed the leaves out of the way they saw a
beautiful waterfall and the sun shined down on the water.Carly didn't see any
fishes in it when she peered in though.She loved way it looked she could
watch the fall for hours.Jason didn't seem to happy.Carly looked at the clean
fresh water and back at Jason,"We can clean up at least."

"I guess."Jason mummered.

Carly put her hands up in surrender,"I give up.Jason,listen I know this
situation really sucks but if you don't started cheering up I'm going to kill
you!"Carly groaned in disgust and went back to the water.She began to rinse
out her hair and wash her face.

Jason watched her and sat on the ground near the water.Jason thoughts ran
wild as he watched Carly.She was very pretty if you really took a mintue to
look at her.Any guy would be a fool not to like her.She was one of the most
important people in his life.He looked at her damp body and clothing.He was
actually thinking about kissing her at this mintue.He felt guilty for thinking
such a thing.But continued to stare at her.

Carly twisted her hair to get the last of the water out of her hair.She saw
Jason's stare and giggled,"Jason?"

"Yeah?"Jason said shaking off any thoughts he was having.

"You seemed dazed.You ok?"Carly got out of the water.The warm breeze
made her feel very comfortable.She had on a pair of faded blue jean shorts,a
red t-shir,and a white long sleeved shirt over it.She was so happy to cool
off,"You sure you don't want to hop in before we go any further?"

"No thanks.I think I'll be ok."Jason repsonded.

Carly gazed up at the fading sun,"The sun will be gone in awhile."

"Your right."Jason got up and helped Carly up,"We'll try to find some place
to crash."

"What's wrong with right here?"Carly shrugged.

"You want to stay here?"Jason pointed to everything around him.

"I want to stay here I mean we we probaly won't get that far until
tommorrow right?"

"Yeah your probaly right.Ok here it is."Jason sat back down and Carly sat
next him and flashed him a grin.

They sat in silence waiting for the sun to go down.Both of them could only
think of Michael.Their sweet innocent baby boy could be thinking anything
right now.After the sun went down.It got a little cold and Jason saw Carly
start to get cold.He wrppaed his arms around her to keep her warm.Carly
wrapped her arms around him and laid her head on his shoulder.She again
fell asleep in Jason's arms.
 

Meanwhile back in Port Charles...

Bobbie,Robin,Luke,and Brenda were at the penthouse.They all knew about
Jason's plane going down and found out Carly was with him.Apparently she
had bribed someon to board and they let her.Robin was crying into Luke's
arms and Robin cried in Brenda's arms.They had no idea how to get them
back.Bobbie pulled away from Luke and turned to Mac who had just got
word,"Is there anything cloe to where their plane went down?"

"We're not exactly sure where it went down."Mac replied.

"Well how do you know it fell?"Robin asked ignorantly.

"It fell off radar hours ago."Mac told her.

They conitued to sob now growing louder.Luke and Brenda tried to be
supportive of the girls and Mac apologized to them as though he had caused
the accident or something.Robin then pushed Brenda away,"He's not
dead,Brenda.He's not."

"Ok."Brenda then hugged her friend again.
 

The next day Carly woke up before Jason she carefully manuvered her way
out of his arms.She was trying to figure out a way to get up to the top of the
mountain that was the highest.There was only one solution they had to
climb.That's all there was to it.Carly rubbed her eyes and Jason began to
stir.He slowly opened his eyes and looked at Carly who had her hand
sheilding her face as she looked up at the mountain.She had a determined
look.She stopped and looked down at Jason,"Good morning sunshine."

"Hi."Jason stood and looked at what she was,"So you ready to climb?"

"I guess."Carly laughed not enjoying the thought of the climbing today.

They walked to the mountain's side and began to climb.Carly's calves hurt so
bad but her motivation was Michael.Her baby.He must have been so
scared.Jason climbed a little ahead of her instructing her on what to
do.Carly's finger's started to ache.Jason saw her pained face and was
constantly asking her if she was ok.She just nodded and continued to
climb.Carly was started to get tired and her body ached so bad as she put
her hands up further her one of her hands cramoed and her fingers
slipped,"Ahh!!!"She screamed.

"Carly!"Jason didn't know exactly what he was doing he just acted out of
pure instinct.

Carly hung onto the rock with one hand,"Jason!Help!"

"I'm coming,Carly.Stay calm."Jason said in a soothing voice.

"Jason,I can't hold on much longer."Carly cried and managed to get her hand
back up.She was barely holding on.

Jason finally got down to the rock she was trying to climb.He stuck his hand
out,"Take my hand."

Carly looked down below her,"I can't.I'll fall."

Jason had to keep calm for her,"Carly,if you don't take my hand you'll fall
anyway."He pleaded with her,"Please take my hand."

Carly trusted him with everything including her life.She closed her eyes and
grabbed his hand.Jason pulled her slowly picked her up.Carly leaped into his
arms.Jason was began to breath again.He had almost lost her...twice.
 

Back in Port Charles...

Robin and Bobbie sat on the couch in Jason's penthouse lost in their thoughts
of Jason and Carly.Robin struggled,"What do you think their doing right
now?"

"Probaly trying to fin a way home."Bobbie answered.

"I'm scared,Bobbie."

"Me too,Robin.We just have to wait.They have to come back."Bobbie
stated.
