*Forgive*

Jason drove around all night thinking about Carly and whether or not he could forgive her. He went home when he had finally made a walked into his apartment and saw that Carly had fallen asleep on his couch. He grabbed the throw blanket from his bed and covered her up just as she opened her eyes.

"Jason, you're home. I know that you didn't expect to still find me here, but I didn't know where else to go," Carly stammered as she sat up.

"It's okay Carly, I'm glad that you're still here," Jason stated.

"I know that I hurt you and you might not want to talk about it, but I need to know if that hug was your way of saying goodbye to me. Have I lost you?" Carly asked as she held her breath waiting for the answer that could change her life forever.

"I've been driving around all night trying to decide if I could forgive you."

"And?" Carly whispered.

"I can't cut you out of my life. You're my best friend and as crazy as you drive me, I can't imagine my life without you in it. I forgive you Carly and you're always going to be my best friend, but we can't be lovers anymore."

"You're breaking up with me?"

"It's the only option that I have to save us. I love you Carly and I know that you love me, but you're not in love with me, otherwise you never would have slept with Sonny."

"I'm sorry."

"I know," Jason said as he wrapped his arms around her.

XOXOXO

*Kiss*

"You're wrong Jason. I love you more than I've ever loved anybody. You're the one who taught me what love is all about and I'll always be grateful for that," Carly whispered as she kissed him one last time.

Jason wrapped his arms around her even tighter, needing to say goodbye, but not wanting to let her go. He let himself get lost in the passion that the kiss ignited and he knew that the best way to part as lovers was to make love to her one last time.

"Tonight is just about the love that we share. Tomorrow we will just be friends," he whispered in her ear as their kiss faded.

They slowly removed their clothes as they continued to kiss. Jason gently lowered her to the couch and combined their bodies and souls one last time in love.
