CHAPTER ONE

Robin now knows what she has to do. She needs to leave Jason. She cannot stay anymore, she cannot be dead last anymore. She cannot be a liar, a kidnapper anymore. She cannot put up with Carly anymore. She won't put up with Carly anymore. Carly insults Robin and when Robin defends herself Jason takes Carly's side. Carly throws her affair with Jason in Robin's face, her HIV status and so much more and Jason does nothing. He says that's just Carly being Carly. She was sick of it. She couldn't do it anymore. She had lost fifteen pounds and she couldn't afford to lose anymore and between Carly stressing Robin out and Jason neglecting her she was getting sick.

Robin had finally gone to see Alan which Jason used to go with her to her appointments, but no he didn't even know she had an appointment. He didn't know something was wrong and he always knew before when something was wrong physically and emotionally. He didn't anymore, because she figured he didn't care about her anymore now that he had Michael and Carly.

Robin took down her suitcases and started packing her things with tears running down her cheeks. She just couldn't do this anymore. She couldn't support Jason any more in keeping Michael when Michael wasn't even his son he was AJ's.

A short time later she hears the door open and knew he was here to shower and change his clothes. He had spent the night at Carly's again. He never slept here anymore in their bed with her. He hadn't spent the night here in their bed in a month. He told her he slept on the couch, but that didn't matter to Robin. What mattered to Robin is that he was not here in their bed. They had sex sometimes before he would leave to go to Carly and Michael. They used to make love, but not anymore. He used to cherish her and worship her body, but he hadn't done that in a while. No of course not, that would take time and she would be calling and he would have to leave. Now she was tired of it.

Jason walked up the stairs to his and Robin's bedroom and is shocked at finding her packing. "What's going on Robin?"

"I'm packing, I'm leaving Jason. I can't do this anymore. I can't be a party to this anymore. I can't be dead last. I can't sleep alone in our bed because you are with Carly and Michael. I am sick and you haven't even noticed and why is that Jason? Why? Because you are always running out the door to her place. I am sick of being in our bed alone and wishing that you were here with me. Wondering what you are doing with Carly. I never used to be insecure about rather you would cheat on me again with her, but I am now so I'm leaving so you can be with her and Michael."

"What do you mean you are sick?" Jason asked baffled, how did he not know she was sick?

"Jason I've lost fifteen pounds because of the stress of having Carly in my life and your neglect. You treat me like your whore and Carly like your wife with Michael as your son with Carly. Do you know that I am the laughing stock of this town because of what is going on with Carly? I hear the whispers of poor HIV+ Robin couldn't give Jason a son so he had to go to the town whore to get the son he wanted. I am sick of it. I was respected in this town, but not anymore." Robin said with tears falling down her cheeks.

"Robin, please don't leave me. I will do anything you want, I love you. I can't lose you."

"You have a funny way of showing me that you love me. I just don't believe that anymore." Robin goes back to packing with tears falling down her cheeks.

"Do you love me, Robin?" Jason said scared she would say no.

"I will always love you, Jason, but I can't be the other woman anymore."

"You are not the other woman."

"Yes, I am. Carly buys what she wants with your money and you let her spend as much as she wants, a fur coat, diamonds or whatever she wants and she tells everyone you bought it for her. Everyone believes that Michael is your son so you had to cheat on me while I was at Yale. You don't think that hurts me, that everyone I love believes that I am not enough for you? That you had to turn to Carly because I have HIV to get the son you wanted? It hurts Jason. I'm done."

"What do I have to do to get you to stay? I can't be without you. You are my heart, you are my north. How I find myself on the map."

"I have to leave Jason. I am sick and all my energy is going to be taken trying to fight whatever is wrong with me. I don't have time or the inclination to deal with Carly and all the hurtful things she says to me and you taking her side. I can't do it anymore. I don't want Carly in my life because she stresses me out. So I have to leave."

"No you don't. I will do better. Please stay?!"

"Jason, please understand. I can't do this anymore. I am sick and I have to concentrate on that. I hope my protocol is still working, but with all the sickness, I have it could have stopped working because of the stress that I am under. I can't deal with Carly and her throwing the fact that I can't have a child, or your affair or my HIV in my face anymore. I'm sorry Jason, I can't stay with Carly in the picture. Carly's won."
