Breaking down walls

Did she hear him right? Brenda Barrett-Morgan thought as she watched her husband; and she used that term loosely. Was he really planning on leaving her? Alone? In the middle of nowhere? With their trail going on? WITHOUT him? That scared her, even thought she would never admit it, it scared her a lot. Even if she couldn't stand him, he made her feel safe. The shocked turned scared look must have passed in her eyes because he grabbed her tiny wrist as she turned towards the plane.

"Hey, what?" He asked her, but she didn't turn her head to look at him.

"Nothing, I'm going to the plane. I'm fine." She lied, still with her back to him. She didn't think she'd be able to look at him without crying.

"Don't lie to me, Brenda." He told her, his voice cold.

"I'M NOT LYING, JASON." She yelled at him as she spun to glare at him. He starred at her.

"Then why are you crying?" He asked, pointing towards her dark eyes.

"I'm crying because this isn't just my life, it's yours too and you're going to throw it away for some little blond girl.." She cut herself off.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that." She apologized without looking at him, before shaking his hand off of her wrist.

"You should do whatever you want. I just want you to be safe, Jason. I know you probably don't believe me but I do. You're the bravest person I know for willingly doing what you've done for me and what you were going to do for me." She told him, wrapping her arms around herself in an attempt to get more warmth.

"I should go. Please be careful, Jason." She said, before turning from him. She hadn't even taken two steps when she spun around and wrapped her thin arms around him waist.

"In case I don't get to tell you this later, thank you." She said into him shirt. "And.. I don't hate you." She added, softly, smiling up at him. She felt his arms slowly wrap themselves around her, protecting her from the world.

"I don't hate you either." He told her before letting her go. Stepping out of his secure embrace she willed herself not to cry as she looked at him.

"Be careful, Brenda." He warned her with a barley visible smile.

"I.. Take care of yourself, Morgan." She told him before turning and throwing over her shoulder.

"I'll make sure to call." And with that she walked towards the plain and disappeared into it.

Jason stood there, in his same spot. He, himself, could believe that he was sending her alone. Not only was that going against everything he had promised her about keeping her safe, and against his job, it was stupid. Brenda Barrett, no mater how loyal she was or how much she faked being brave, seems to always get herself into more trouble. Vowing that he would stay there and watch till her plane took off he moved a bit into the shadows. It really wouldn't help any if someone saw him. He couldn't understand exactly why he decided to stay. Was it for Courtney? He didn't really think so, not like Brenda thought. Was it for Liz? Maybe, a little, so that he could be close by if something happened, and with Liz something always happens. Was it for Sonny? No, Sonny was use to Jason being gone, he could manage without him. If for no other reason at all, it was for Carly. She was his only real tie to this town now that Emily was gone and the scared look in her eyes when she begged him to wear the light blue shirt to the cracking in her voice when she told him that she loved him not even two hours ago was the only reason he would stay. She was his life; his best friend and he always needed to know that she was ok. She didn't seem ok, and she hadn't in a lot time. Carly was why he wasn't going; Carly and Michael. The sound of the plane taking off pulled him out of his thoughts and he turned to watch the plane and Brenda leave Port Charles.

Brenda watched from the window on the plane. She had noticed Jason, she'd been watching him the whole time, hoping and praying that he would change his mind and come with her cause she was sure she couldn't do this alone. She wasn't sure she could make the plane ride alone. Every time she got on a plane, it was hard for her, ever since her and Jason went down that one time, she was always nervous. But she would do this and soon she'd be with Jax. Except she didn't want to be with Jax, she wanted Jason to be here with her. She'd never tell anyone but Jason was the only man that she had ever felt completely safe with. With Jason she never had to worry. Locking her belt in, she gave Jason one last look before starring strait ahead of herself and holding her breath as the plane took off.

Jason almost felt the fear as he made his way to his motorcycle and reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a phone. Pressing the speed dial button he waited, knowing that he'd be letting it ring for a while.

Her hand gripped the sides of the seat and her nails dug into the material as she tried to breath.

"Dear, are you ok?" The adorable old lady sitting beside her asked.

"I'd say yes, but Jason asks me not to lie." Brenda answered her with a laugh as she thought about Jason.

"It's ok when I was young I hated airplane rides too, but my husband was in the… anyway my husbands business took him everywhere, so I got used to them." The lady told her. "I'm Maria." She introduced herself.

"Brenda." Was all that Brenda could get out.

"Well, Brenda, I'll be right here the whole time so if you need anything. I have three kids, who at one time were all scared of flying, except my littlest one; Emma." Maria told Brenda and Brenda smiled.

"Thank you, that really helps." Brenda told her.

"Would you like to see some pictures of my babies?" Maria asked, never passing up on opportunity to show off her kids and thinking that it might take Brenda's mind off of her fears.

"I'd love that." Brenda said thinking that same thing as Maria. As Maria reached down to find her pictures a cell phone went off. Brenda made no attempt to move and not only did the ringing not stop it seemed to be coming from Brenda. Sitting up Maria looked at the young, ex-supermodel, and smiled.

"I think that's you dear." Maria told her and Brenda bent down to grab her purse. Sure enough it was coming from her purse. Yanking opened her black purse she dug around for a while before coming out with a ringing cell phone. The cell phone look a lot like the one Jax had given her except it was black. Brenda gave the phone a strange look before flipping it opened and bringing it to her ear.

"Hello?" Came her scared voice.

"Hey." Was all he said and her breathing evened out.

"Jason?" She asked, unsure.

"Yup, are you ok?" He asked her and she figured she could say she was now.

"I'm doing ok." She settled for the truth.

"When did you give me the phone?" Brenda had to ask him.

"When you hugged me." He answered and all Brenda could think about was how damn good he was at his job.

"Jason I don't wanna be here." She almost cried into the phone. "I wanna be back at the penthouse, with you. I hate it." She told him.

"What do you hate?" He asked her as he sat on his motorcycle, looking at the sky.

"Everything, I hate plane ever since ours went down." She confided in him and Maria since she was listening to them.

"God, Brenda why didn't you say something? I wouldn't have sent you." He asked her and she knew that he was rubbing his hand over his face.

"I was trying to be strong and not complain like you ask." She told him and he could hear the tears falling down her face.

"Look I'm sorry, Brenda. You have to calm down, k? Do you want me to stay with you on the phone till you land?" He asked her and she considered saying yes.

"No." Her answer came out wrong was all that she could think about but she didn't change it.

"You need to go do whatever it is you gonna do. I'll be fine." She lied,

"You sure?" He asked, giving her another out.

"Yes, I'm sure." She didn't take the out.

"K, I'll call later. Remember don't talk to anyone, Brenda and please be careful." Jason told her, wishing more the ever that he was gone with her like planed.

"I will, you too, please Jason watch yourself." Brenda told him and she knew that their conversation was about to come to an end.

"Bye." He said into the phone and she panicked.

"JASON." She called into it hoping to catch him; she did.

"What, what happened?" He asked her, the worry creeping into his voice.

"When well I see you next, Jason?" She had to ask him, needing to know that it would be again and if lucky soon.

"Soon, two months tops. I swear." He told her and she nodded even thought he couldn't see her. Two months was ok, she hoped. "Brenda always keep your phone on and with you." Jason told her and he wasn't asking he was ordering.

"Ok." Brenda answered him and this was one thing he asked of her that she planed on doing perfectly.

"Good, see you soon." He told her but waited until she said bye.

"See you soon." Was what she left him with before the line went dead and he closed his phone and slipped it back into his pocket.
