Chapter 10 - Torn

Brenda finally got herself together and pulled back. "I'm okay."

Jason could see the bruise starting to form on her face. "I'm so sorry."

Brenda kissed him with abandon. They were both panting and Brenda smiled at him. "It's so good to see your face."

Jason smiled back.

They stood up and Jason helped her get dressed. He hugged her as the door swung open. Sonny walked in followed by Max and Johnny.

Jason froze. He was in shock.

Brenda felt it so she pulled back. "Jason?" She said before following his gaze.

She turned and when she saw Sonny she gasped loudly.

"Brenda." Sonny said softly.

Brenda's knees gave out and she passed out. Jason caught her and laid her onto the bed.

Sonny rushed to her side. He looked up at Jason. "Did he rape her?"

Jason shook his head no as Sonny closed his eyes and thanked God.

"Have you been here this whole time?" Jason asked.

Sonny nodded. "It's been hell. The whole time I just kept thinking about Brenda and that got me through."

Jason's heart dropped. He was going to lose Brenda and it was like someone had punched him in the gut.

Brenda started to wake up and when she saw Sonny she scrambled away from him.

"It's okay. I'm alive." Sonny said smiling.

Brenda started to sob. "But, we buried you."

"It wasn't me." He said softly. "I'm right here Brenda. I came back to you."

Brenda looked up at Jason and saw the hurt and pain in his eyes. She just couldn't bare it. But, she didn't know what to do.

Sonny moved towards her and hugged her tightly. She cried and hugged him back.

Jason walked out of the room. Johnny followed him. "I'll drive you home." He said softly.

Jason got in the car and Johnny took him back to the warehouse. Jason didn't want to go home. He wanted to break things.

Max drove Brenda and Sonny back to Greystone. It had been closed down, so he called Milo to have him get some food and get the guys to take the sheets off everything.

Sonny held Brenda. He had seen her look up at Jason. But, he just couldn't acknowledge it. In his heart, he knew that Brenda belonged to him and that whatever had been going on with Jason was borne out of grief. Jason would have to get over it.

"I love you so much." He said softly as he kissed her head.

Brenda didn't say anything. She couldn't. Because the man that she loved was somewhere probably losing his mind thinking that she chose Sonny. She started to cry again.

"Hey, it's okay."

"So tired." She said softly.

Sonny kissed her on the head. "It will be alright."

They walked into Greystone. Sonny looked around. It was so good to be home.

"We stocked the fridge and made up your bed. If you need anything, we'll be out back."

Sonny nodded. "Thank you Max."

Max grinned. "It's good to have you home."

"It's good to be home." He said smiling.

He looked at Brenda who was making her way up the steps.

"I need a bath." She said softly.

He understood. She was traumatized from what Luis did so he would let her be.

Milo came out of the kitchen.

"Where's Jason?"

"I don't know. He left with Johnny."

Sonny nodded.

"Do you want me to get him?"

Sonny shook his head. "No. I'll talk to him tomorrow."

"Goodnight boss." Milo said.

"Goodnight."

Sonny poured himself a drink. He was going to have to talk to Jason soon. And if Jason didn't agree to leave Brenda alone, they were going to have a problem.

Johnny watched Jason rip apart some huge crates. His hands were bleeding as he systematically destroyed as many of them as he could. It always amazed him how powerful Jason was when he put his rage into it. Jason finally sank down against the wall. Johnny moved towards him with a first aid kit and cleaned his hands and bandaged them up. He stepped away when he was finished and waited until Jason was ready to go back to the penthouse.

Brenda sank down into the tub. Sonny was back. It was all she had prayed for a long time. But then she fell in love with Jason and it was so different than what she had with Sonny. It was like a different addiction. The difference was that Jason never had hurt her like Sonny and it was so much easier with him. Her relationship with Sonny had always managed to self-destruct. There had been so much drama. But, she had loved him deeply. She had always thought he was her soul mate, but now she wasn't so sure.

She jumped when he knocked on the door.

He cracked it open. "Are you okay?"

"Just a little longer." She called out.

"Okay." He said before shutting the door.

Brenda finally finished up and changed before going into the bedroom. Sonny was already in bed.

She froze at the sight of him and then closed her eyes as tears began to fall. Sonny jumped up and went to her. He picked her up and placed her into the bed. "Sleep baby." He said softly.

She got comfortable and closed her eyes, grateful that he didn't want to have sex. She just couldn't handle that.

Sonny held her and sighed. He was so happy to sleep in his bed and hold his girl. They both soon fell fast asleep.

liIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIi

Jason laid awake. He couldn't sleep. Knowing that she was sleeping with Sonny right now was killing him. There was a knock on the door and he threw on some pants and ran downstairs.

He threw open the door hoping that it was her. "Robin?" He said softly.

She moved past him and came inside. "Max called me and told me what happened. He thought that maybe you could use a friend."

She stared at his hands and then back up at him. Tears were filling Jason's eyes so she moved towards him and they hugged. She felt his body shake as he let out the emotion he had been choking down for the last few hours. When he finally calmed down they moved to the couch.

She watched him hold his head in his hands and try to regroup.

"How did he look?" She asked.

"Pretty good considering he's been held captive for over a year." Jason said quietly.

"I'm sorry. I know that you loved her."

Jason nodded. "I don't know if I can let her go."

"But you have to."

Jason looked over at her. "Why? Why is it me that always has to make the sacrifice? I've given up my life for Sonny. I gave up Carly to him and that ended up with her death. It's always what Sonny wants." He said standing up. He grabbed the vase on the coffee table and hurled it into the fireplace.

Robin wiped away a tear on her cheek. Jason was right. He always came out the loser when it came to Sonny. "This time it's different. She was Sonny's and they were engaged. Do you really think Sonny is going to let you have her?"

Jason shrugged. "You know how much I care about Sonny despite everything else. But, she is the best thing that has ever happened to me."

The words stung Robin to the core.

"I love her Robin. If I can't have her, then I'm leaving. I can't watch them together. I just can't."

Robin sighed. "Why don't you wait until you get a chance to talk to her? This is her decision too."

Robin didn't have any doubts that Brenda would pick Sonny. And when she did, she was going to be the one that helped Jason pick up the pieces. She wanted him back.

Jason sat back down. Robin guided him so that his head was lying in her lap and she covered him up. "Sleep Jason, I'm not going anywhere." She said gently scratching his head. "Sleep."

The next morning, Brenda went downstairs to eat and took one whiff of the eggs Sonny had cooked and ran into the bathroom and threw up.

Sonny followed her. "Brenda?" He said pushing her hair back.

She shakily got up and splashed some water on her face and gargled.

"Are you sick?"

"I don't feel so good." She said trying to ignore the dizziness.

Sonny picked her up and carried her back upstairs to bed. "Just stay here. I'll bring you some tea."

Brenda nodded. Normally, she hated being sick but this time she figured it would buy her some time to sort things out.
