Challenge: Prompt Exchange Challenge Six
Prompt: "This world keeps spinning faster, into a new disaster, so I run to you"-(from 'I Run to You' by Lady Antebellum) [Sent by Jem Kallop]
A/N: It's been about over a year since Jason "died" right? I'm pretty certain he "died" in October, but before Halloween because AJ showed up around Halloween. Anyway, if you're interested in participating in a Prompt Exchange Challenge, visit my profile for more information.
Count to Ten
Jason's death was difficult for a lot of people. Sam, Sonny, Michael, Carly, Spinelli, and Elizabeth to name a few. It feels so wrong that he's dead. He seemed so invincible to most people. Life, of course, moves along after his death. It has too. Doesn't mean he's forgotten. No, after all, who could ever forget him?
Jason is in the thoughts of many people today as this marks one year that Jason has been dead. It's been far too long a year for everyone close to him.
On this October day, Carly spends her time alone at home. Jocelyn is with Jax. She doesn't need to go to the Metro Court—Olivia's got everything handled. It's just a whole day at home to devote to thinking about her best friend.
Carly settles on the couch, gazing fondly at a photo of Jason. She sniffles, the urge to break into tears is strong, but she fights it. She'll try her hardest to stay tough for Jason.
"You know," Carly says to the photo, feeling a tad silly for doing so, but no one will see her so it's okay, "I still can't believe you're really…gone. A whole year. I don't know how I've made it without you. It's hard without you. I could really use your help. Everything with Morgan and Ava and I just don't know what to do anymore. It's a disaster. Seems like everything is just one big disaster after another. And I don't think I can fix it all. And I can't run to you anymore. You can't tell me what to do. I just…"
She pauses to collect herself and make a pointless attempt at wiping away her tears. "I know. Just count to ten, right?"
