Drowning
Summary: Sonny is about to go off the deep end. Can Carly and Jason bring him back?
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters and such. Also, the lyrics used in the fic are from the song "There's No 'I' In Team" by Taking Back Sunday. I thought it fit well with whole Sonny/Jason thing going on in the show right now.

Broken down in bars and bathrooms
All I did was what I had to
Don't believe me when I tell you
It's just what anyone would do

Carly paced around Jason's penthouse apartment. She'd been waiting for him there for over half an hour now. She knew he had things he had to do, but she hoped he would hurry up. After all, if Sonny came home and found her there...
She paused. She didn't know what he'd do, exactly. That was why she was here in the first place. She was used to him blowing hot and cold on her, but this... This was different. It was like he was a completely different person, and it scared her.
She was pulled from her thoughts by the sound of the door opening and shutting again. "You wanted to see me?" Jason asked, taking off his jacket.
Carly nodded. "It's Sonny, Jason. He needs you."
Jason shook his head. "We've been through this, Carly. I'm the last person Sonny wants or needs to see right now."
Carly looked at him imploringly, willing herself not to cry. "He's out of his mind, Jason. It's like he doesn't give a damn about anything anymore, except for the baby, and I..." her voice trailed off as she wiped the tears from her face.
Jason went over to her and pulled her into a tight hug. "It'll be okay, Carly. He's strong, he'll bounce back from this."
"But what if he doesn't?" Carly asked. "What if he can't? What if he just keeps getting worse and worse until finally... God, I don't even want to think about what's going to happen."
"Then don't." he told her. "Don't think about it. Just concentrate on helping him. He needs you."
She shook her head. "He needs you, Jason. I'm not strong enough, he knows that and so do you."
"I know that you're a lot strong than you give yourself credit for." he countered.
"I can't do this." Carly said, her voice coming out as a whisper.
"You have to." Jason said firmly. "I'll handle things in the business, like I have been. I'll make sure nobody knows how bad it is. But Carly, like I told you the last time we talked about it, you're the only person who can bring him back from this."
"Yeah, well the last time we talked about it we had to cut our conversation short because Sonny was holding a bottle to Jax's throat." she reminded him. "Jason, you have to find a way to help him. Maybe, I don't know, maybe tell Courtney that you guys have to lay low for a while - And I'm not telling you to stop seeing her, you know I've been supportive of you guys all along, but please, Jason, there has to be some way you can get Sonny to trust you again." she said pleadingly.
Jason looked at her. He knew she was desperate, and afraid. Slowly, he nodded his head. "I'll try. I'm not promising anything, and I'm not going to push him, but I'll try."
Carly nodded. "Thanks, Jason." She gave him a final, grateful hug, and left.

Take the time to talk about it
Think a lot and live without it
Don't believe me when I tell you
It's something unforgivable

A/N: So, how was it? I'm not sure if I'm going to add more chapters, or just leave it as is, so please, review and tell me what you think and if I should continue with it.
