CHAPTER ONE

Robin woke up smiling. Today was the day her dreams come true. She was getting married. She always thought that she would marry Jason because she loved him so much. But no he wasn't the groom and Patrick Drake was. Instead of feeling sorry for herself and that the groom isn't the man she really loved she was excited in a way, at least she was getting married today.

Patrick on the other hand was not excited, he was fearful, he couldn't marry Robin, he couldn't marry anyone, Patrick told the men to go on over to the church that he needed a few minutes alone, so they left. Patrick snuck out the back way with his suitcase and headed to the one man he hated more than anyone else.

Jason had tried on three suits and Sonny and Carly was getting concerned about Jason. He didn't act like he was happy for Robin, he acted like a man who still loved her. "Jason, you don't have to go watch Robin marry Dr. Drake."

"Yes I do Sonny I promised her I would be there. I just didn't know it would be this hard. How could she fall for that arrogant jerk? What could Robin possibly see in that doctor? He is an arrogant man who only thinks about himself. She is making a mistake marrying him but I may hate Drake but she found something in him that no one else can see, certainly not me. But I promised to be there and I will be there." Just then there was a knock on the door and Sonny went to answer the door and was surprised to find Patrick Drake the man they had been talking about. What was he doing here?

"What are you doing here? You are getting married in a few hours. To Robin." Jason said.

"I don't like you Jason, but you care about Robin and she is going to need you. I'm leaving Port Charles, I love Robin but I can't marry her. I thought I could but I can't marry her. I can't marry anyone and I wanted to give you a heads up because she is going to need you and please be there for her. She's going to need you Jason. She won't want pity that I left the day of our wedding. After last night when they had that party for me I didn't touch any of the girls they brought in but I wanted to but Robin's family was there and that would have been a mess. Please be there and please give her this letter from me." He hands Jason a sealed envelope with a letter in it apparently. He nods to Jason, Sonny and Carly and leaves.

"What are you going to do?"

"I have to go tell Robin that Patrick Drake isn't going to be marrying her today." Jason said and walks out the door headed to Mac's, where the girls were going to be changing at and then heading to the church from there.

Felicia hears the door and runs down knowing it couldn't be Mac and Robert who was going to take Robin to the church. She opens the door and is surprised that Jason Morgan was at her door in a suit. "Jason, Robin is getting married in a few hours, she is getting ready."

"Felicia it is urgent that I talk to her. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't, please let me talk to her. It really is urgent."

Felicia walks over to the stairs and calls out to Robin and tells her Jason is here and that it was urgent that he speak to her.

Robin comes down the stairs and sees Jason and knows something is wrong. "Follow me."

Robin takes Jason's hand and leads her into the kitchen wondering what was going on.

"I don't know how to say this and not hurt you. Patrick came to see me this morning saying he loved you but couldn't marry you and he gave me a letter for you." Jason hands her the letter not knowing what was in it.

A shocked Robin opened the letter and began to read, "Robin, I can't marry you I feel tied down to you and suffocated and I don't want you. I tried to love you because you loved me so much I wanted to love you back but never did. I'm sorry but I don't want to be tied to you. I want to go back to playing the field sleeping with whoever I want and you are not who I want I don't want to be with you every night I want to sleep with whoever I want and not worry about getting HIV or AIDS. I want to be free in bed and not worry about catching a disease. I did love you but I just can't stay with you. Find someone who will love you like you deserve to be loved but it's not me. Goodbye Robin, forever."

Robin started crying as she read the letter. How could she miss that Patrick felt tied down to her, that he needed to be free from her.

Jason pulls her into his arms and just holds her letting her use his strength to keep her from falling apart and he knew she would fall apart

"Jason, get me out of here. I can't face them. I can't face a church full of people who expect me to marry Patrick who more or less left me at the altar. I can't do this right now."

"Let's go." Jason takes her hand in his and heads out of the kitchen door with Robin dropping the letter on the kitchen floor. Jason gets her to the SUV he is driving and decides to take her not to his place or Sonny's but to a safe house on the outskirts of Port Charles. He pulls into the garage and he gets out as does Robin. They head into the house. Robin sits down on the couch.

"I just can't believe that he left today of all days, why couldn't it have been a week ago, a month ago, but the day of the wedding that's cruel. I mean it's not like I had a great love with Patrick but to leave on the day of the wedding that's just cruel and I should have expected that from him but I didn't."

"You loved Patrick though, didn't you?" Jason asked, now confused after what she just said.

"I cared about Patrick but I didn't love him like I did you or Stone."

"Then why were you going to marry him?"

"Because he said he loved me beyond reason, and I wanted someone to love and to love me. Patrick was there and he didn't mind that I had HIV and he still wanted me so I got involved with him. You were engaged to Sam so I settled for Patrick. You know I was stupid I came home for you hoping you still loved me and you still hated me and was in love with Sam so I started sleeping with Patrick and you didn't care and so since you weren't sleeping alone I decided I wasn't going to either. I was crushed when you didn't even thank me for coming home, dropping everything in Paris to save your life. I never loved Patrick like I loved you but I thought I could have what I wanted with him. Marriage and children and now I am going to have a whole town pitying me over Patrick. There goes the girl that was dumped on her wedding day. I wonder if it was because she has HIV that he left her. I am never going to get married and have babies so I guess I will have the AI done and raise the child by myself. Why am I even alive? Being alive hurts. I should have just jumped that night on the bridge or went there another night and jumped. I will never have what I want because I am damaged because of the HIV and will never have someone love me enough to actually go through with a wedding. I will never get married now that it was never meant to be for me to have anyone." Robin breaks down crying.

Jason is hurting himself, she had come home for him. For him because she still loved him. He hurt her a lot maybe he could heal her. He would marry her. "Robin, let's get you beautiful we are going to borrow Sonny's plane and go to Las Vegas."

A confused Robin asked, "Why are we going there?"

"Because you and I are going there to get married. I want you to marry me Robin. Please don't say no. I want you to marry me. I know I hurt you a lot, when we were together and when you came home and I was engaged to Sam. I'm sorry I thought I had to stay with Sam because she stayed by my side through my illness. I'm like you in a way I think I have to be with her because she loves me so much. I know she will be hurt but I want a life with you, I want us to try and I want that to start off with us being married and no one walks away."

Robin is shocked at Jason's suggestion but willing she realizes after all this is the man she had always loved. She would go for it. "Okay, I'm willing to give it a try as long as you are faithful to me, you keep Carly from insulting me and degrading me, and I am your number one priority not your last priority."

"Deal."

"Then let's go. Vegas here we come." Robin says and she and Jason head out to get on Sonny's plane. He calls Sonny and asks to borrow the plane and Sonny thinks that he was taking Robin to his island and has the pilot get to the plane and go wherever they wanted to go but Sonny figured Jason was getting Robin out of Port Charles so no one would pity her. That was not where they were going though. They were headed to Vegas to get married and shock a whole town.
