Jason: You should rest.

Brenda: I want to be at that meeting.

Jason: Brenda you just got hit by a car.

Brenda: I don't care I want to go.

Jason: Fine get dressed then.

Brenda walked upstairs and put on a pair of faded jeans, black boots, and a black turtle neck sweater. She went to straighten her hair and after she did that she put on some make-up and perfume. She walked back downstairs and noticed Jason on the sofa she walked over and put her arms around his neck he pulled her on his lap and just looked at her. Jason leant in and kissed Brenda with passion and it lasted until each needed to breathe. Just then Carly walked in she looked at them.

Carly: Come on we are going to be late.

Jason: For what?

Carly: The meeting.

Brenda: That doesn't even start till 3:00.

Carly: Alexis just called she moved it to 1:45 we need to go.

Jason and Brenda got up and headed to the elevator where Sonny and Carly were already waiting. All four of them got in a limo and headed straight for Alexis's firm. They got there about 1:40 and headed to Alexis's meeting room where she was standing to let them in. When Brenda got in she noticed that Jax, Skye, Felicia, Courtney, Ned, Elizabeth, Lucky, Gia, were there Nickolas. Brenda sat between Jason and Carly. Gia and Alexis were at the very front of the table.

Gia: Okay lets get this started the court date is in one week and we need to go over what we are going to do like who will go first and stuff like that.

Alexis: Yes so I think it would be better if we had Sonny go first. Then Jason and then Brenda.

Sonny: Why in that order?

Alexis: Your the ones being framed for murder by AJ.

Brenda: But shouldn't I go first. I mean why not?
Gia: Because that will just look bad after Brenda we want Carly to go then Felicia.

Jason: Bren...?

Brenda: Don't just don't.. I am so tired of crying and I am so sick of you hurting me.

Jason: I didn't mean to make you cry.

Brenda: Of course not you just don't really wanna marry me you just rather think of our wedding as something that was done to keep me away from Sonny.

Jason: Did I say that?

Brenda: No but do you want to marry me? Do you want to get married?
Jason: Brenda... It's a very complicated question.

Brenda: Actually its really not its kind of a either or deal do you want to get married?

Jason: Someday yes when we are ready but Bren.... I am just trying to be honest here.

Brenda: Yes honesty now... Congratulations Jason on being honest now I wounder what the metal will say!

Jason: Okay obviously I am not dealing with this that well.

Brenda: Well duh!!

Jason: Bren... I love you I want to be with you I just wish we could go back to the way things were.

Brenda: And I wish I had never fallen in love with you.

Brenda walked up the stairs and closed the bedroom door. She kept crying god she hated to cry especially since it was the one man she loved she loved him so much. He went out and had to think he came back within the hour he had a small jewelry box in his hand he opened the bedroom door Brenda had fallen asleep she woke up when he touched her arm. She glared at him.

Brenda: What do you want?

Jason: To make things right Bren.. I went out to think and then I thought of how happy you could make me. How happy you already make me god I love you Brenda. And so...

He got down on one knee she then noticed the small box in his hand he held it out to her. He opened it revealing a diamond ring.

Jason: Brenda Barrett will you make me the happiest man in the world? Will you marry me?

Brenda: Yes... Oh god Yes!!

She pulled him in and kissed him long and hard she came back up for breathe she started to cry when he put the ring on her finger. He leant over and kissed her again with more passion and fire than before.
