Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters mentioned in this fic.

NOTE: I am acting as if Nikolas and Emily, as well as Liz and Lucky were NEVER romantically together. They are still the 4 musketeers, but they never went beyond friendship. Liz is married to Ric, no Cameron exists (as much as I love the little kid whenever he yells mama and runs to Liz).

Tears came pouring down her cheeks the second the door closed behind her. Distraught, utterly shocked, but most of all heartbroken, she started to cry. She had tried her best to uphold her stance and her pride in front of him. But now that he was nowhere in sight, all bets were off and she let her emotions get the best of her.

Sniffles escaped her throat, and she was finding it hard to catch her breath. Her arms banded around her waist, she hugged herself, trying desperately to keep somewhat of her composure. She felt as if she was repeatedly shattering into millions of pieces. Felt as if she was being hacked with a blunt axe over and over on the open wound. Her heart had just been broken in the worst way possible.

Sonny had just left her.

Though her pride told him to his face that she wouldn't beg nor fight his decision like every other woman he knew, her heart was telling her at that very moment that she had just made the biggest mistake of her life for not doing so. Her heart was telling her to crawl back on her hands and knees and beg him to reconsider, beg him to take her back. Shamefully, she wanted to do anything, even degrading to get back to him. But her better judgment told her that he wouldn't accept either way. Sonny may be an idiot sometimes, but when his mind was made up, it was in fact MADE UP.

Michael and Morgan immediately jumped into her mind, and she broke down at the thought of never seeing them again. She may never have spent that much time with Morgan, but she was so close to Michael. Michael was her nephew, and she loved him with all of her heart. And he was a troubled child, very troubled child that needed her attention. Michael was in desperate need of a female figure, seeing as his mother Carly was a raging lunatic.

Slipping to the floor, she buried her face in her knees, choking back harder sobs. She felt as if she was dying, and all she wanted to do was have her heart stop beating at that moment.

"Emily?"

She recognized her brother's voice immediately. Her head shot up, a desperate gaze in her eyes. "Jase," she gasped. The hysterical tears continued the second his name left her lips. Jason didn't need to ask her what happened, he already knew Sonny's intentions. Instead, he squatted down in front of her, his hand in her hair.

"Em, it's ok," he whispered to her. She shook her head and pursed her lips together, trying to cry less. But the tears kept coming and her vision blurred. "Come, let's take you home," he whispered. Her crying intensified at his words. "This was my home," she shrieked. Plopping her head back on the top of her knees, she continued her crying. Jason sighed, not knowing what to do. He knew what happened; Sonny made him aware that he was going to end his relationship with Emily. Jason just never thought about what he would do to Emily as soon as she found out.

"Ok, let me take you back to my place. You can't stay here in the hall." He didn't let her answer that statement. He merely pulled her up by her shoulders to make it clear that it wasn't really a choice she had. But 3 steps later, she felt herself slipping and she sunk back to the floor. Jason held her as she made her way back to the floor. Wrapping his arms around her, he held her close, rocking her slowly as she continued her hysterical crying.

"What am I going to do Jason?" she choked. Closing her eyes, she clutched to her brother's chest, as if holding on for dear life. Jason sighed, really not knowing what to tell his little sister. "I don't know baby, I don't know, but we really need to get you out of here," he whispered into her ear. Her whimpers made it clear to him that she had no intention, or strength to abide those wishes. Jason tried to get up, this time without Emily, but she clutched to him even tighter.

"No, don't leave me," she pleaded.

Giving into her, Jason stopped his attempts to get her away. Dropping himself to the floor, he just continued to hold her, hoping that she would calm down. After what seemed like hours, but in actuality was only minutes, Emily finally fell asleep, but not before she softly wailed her love and devotion about Sonny to her brother. Jason assumed her shock and excessive crying turned into exhaustion. Lifting her up in his strong arms, Jason made his way back to his own apartment.

He had hoped that he would have figured out what he was going to do by the time he got back to his apartment, but that wasn't the case. Placing her on his bed, Jason paced around the room, trying to use that thing of a brain that he had. He wasn't exactly sure if he was upset or relieved about the fact that the relationship between Sonny and his baby sister was over. It was no secret that Jason, as well as the majority, if not all of Port Charles wasn't exactly fond of their relationship. Sonny had a reputation for abandoning his women, and Jason didn't want his sister to be one of them. But on the other hand, he had never seen her this happy before in a relationship and it killed him to see her this upset.

A few faint sniffles made it clear to Jason that Emily wasn't fully asleep and he slipped out of the room to give her some peace, but making sure that he could hear her if it was needed. Frustration crossed his features as he continued to ponder on what he was going to do. Jason wasn't exactly an expert on comforting people and he wasn't exactly happy to learn it at the moment. After a few minutes on the couch, Jason figured out the best thing to do. Flipping out his cell phone, he pressed the 2nd speed dial and waited for the person to pick up.

"Liz, I need your help."
