Frozen: Bridges Strengthened
Hello all. Thanks for the reviews you gave for last chapter. Many have been asking for Carly, Sonny and Jason interaction and this is the chapter for it. Happy now? I WILL make this chapter long. Even if it takes me all week. Hopefully it won't. Continue your reading.....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Elizabeth's Studio
Jason was starting at Elizabeth as she slept. She was beautiful. It was early so there was no reason for either of them to be awake. But for some reason he was. That was okay though, he didn't mind. Gave him a chance to do some thinking.
He couldn't stay in her studio forever. He knew that. But it didn't change how much he wanted to stay. He was used to it there. Elizabeth had no expectations to live up to. She could take care of herself. She didn't need him to come running all the time. It was nice to feel that. That the people around him wouldn't break all at once, should he have to take a break.
Was that what he was doing? Taking a nice break from the saving, the listening to everyone's problems, the fixing, the endless run of sacrifices to be made. Then going back to it all. Would anything have changed? If he went to see Sonny would he give Jason a order to fill at first sight? Or would he want to talk, see how Jason was doing?
There was really only one way to find out. And he needed to know what he would be returning to his life.
Jason slowly untangled himself from Elizabeth. He changed his clothes started to walk out the door. But at the last second he had a flash of the last time he had left her without warning. She had been afraid for him. Jason grabbed a piece of her sketching paper and scrawled a quick note to tell her where he was.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Corinthos Penthouse
Sonny stood by the window looking out. Carly was sleeping in today. The stress of everything had been getting to them. After Carly's visit to Jason they hadn't heard anything from him or Elizabeth. And as much as he wanted to give Jason his space he needed to know what was going on. How Jason was.
Johnny poked his head threw the doorway. "Boss?" he called, his voice was uncertin but happy non the less.
Sonny turned around. "Yeah John?" he asked his guard.
"You have a visitor." He said with a slight smile on his face. This was exactly what Sonny needed. And Johnny knew it.
"Send them in." Sonny said as he started to walk towards the wet bar, abandoning the snow that was lightly falling outside.
"Sonny."
Sonny whipped around after hearing the voice he had wanted to hear in days. Jason was standing at the doorway. His expression was nuteral, as it had been for months. And Sonny notice that he had no coat on.
"Jason, man, come in. Sit down okay? Wheres your jacket?" he asked as he motioned for Jason to sit down on the couch opposite from him. He wasn't sure what Jason wanted. Normally he would have gone up to him. Touched his shoulder or something. But from what Sonny had heard from Carly, that was a bad idea right now.
Jason slowly moved towards the offered seat, as if he was unsure of Sonny for some reason. He didn't answer the question about the location of his leather jacket. But Sonny could see that Jason was pretty wet from the snow fall. And that he had the slightest shaking going on. "Jase?"
Jason looked at him. "Hey." He greeted. His voice and face still betraying no emotion.
"How are you Jason? Carly and I have been worried." Sonny said as he leaned closer to Jason.
Jason nodded to him and spoke quietly, "I'm fine."
"I'm sorry Jason. If I had known what she was doi...." Sonny said, jumping right in. He wanted Jason to know how sorry he was about everything.
Jason cut him off though, "But you didn't know. So its not your fault." He said, dismissing all notions that Sonny was to blame in any of this.
"Shes gone Jason. She is on the island now. And she is never coming back. I promise." Sonny said. He didn't care that Courtney was gone. That she hated him. All that mattered now was his surrogate little brother.
Jason nodded. "Okay. Sonny, do we need to talk buisness?" Jason asked, jumping right into his real questions. Would Sonny want him come back to work?
Sonny shook his head. "No Jason, we don't. You aren't working for me until you feel ready to. And then we need to talk." Sonny said firmly. There was no room for discussion.
But to his suprise Jason smiled. "Good."
And Sonny had the feeling he had just taken some sort of test. And that he had passed perfectly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Elizabeth's Studio
Elizabeth woke up and reached out for Jason. But as she opened her eyes she saw nothing. Had he moved back to the couch?
She got up and padded out of the room. There was no Jason in the kitchen or living area/studio. A small piece of paper on her easel caught her eye.
Elizabeth-
I went to see Sonny. I'll be back soon.
Love, Jason
She felt a smile light her sleepy face as she read the last line. Jason Morgan's love was something she could definately get used to. But for some reason she didn't need to get used to reading or hearing the words. She had been used to it for a long time.
Elizabeth decided to go see Emily. Her best friend was getting out of the hospital soon from what she could tell. But she decided to call anyway. Being the cheif of staff and head heart surgeon's daughter might have speeded her release up.
She picked up the cordless to call the main desk. After a minute on the phone she hung up and changed her destination in mind. Emily was at the Quartermaine Mansion.
That ruled out Jason joining her for sure.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Corinthos Penthouse
Carly could hear voices downstairs. It was Sonny talking with someone else. But the other person she couldn't really place. Then again, she was a flight up and in a room with a closed door. So there was no real reason why she would be able to understand a word the other person was saying.
And being Carly she had to know what was making her husband's voice lighter than it had been in weeks. She slowly made her way down the hall to the stairs. Peeking down she saw Jason sitting on the couch. "Jase!" she cried as she ran down the steps to see him.
Jason and Sonny turned to see her.
"Carly, don't go down the stairs so fast." Sonny reminded her.
But Carly just rolled her eyes. "Hi Jason." She said quietly, suddenly remembering all that had gone on in the past few days.
Jason let out a small smile for his friend. "Hey Carly." He said, equally as quiet.
"You should have told me he was here." She directed with a scowl towards Sonny.
"I was going to ask to see you soon." Jason assured her. He wanted to apologize for scaring her.
"Really?" she ask, hope and happiness coming to her face.
"Yeah. I'm sorry for before Carly." Jason said sincerly.
Carly smiled at him sadly. No one was more sorry than her. After all, who had pushed Courtney and Jason together? But playing the blame game wasn't going to help anything. "Forgiven. It wasn't your fault."
Jason nodded. There was just one more thing he had to know. "Where is she?"
Sonny knew what he was talking about dispite the lack of name. Courtney. "On my island. She won't be coming back. The penthouse is yours when you want it. Carly took out everything she put in. Its the way it was before. Leather couch and all." Sonny said. He was hoping Jason might want to live there after all. It would make his job of taking care of Jason much easier. Plus if Jason lived across the hall cooking for him would be easier. His friend was looking thinner than normal. But then again, from what had come into light about his sister he wouldn't be suprised if she hadn't ever reminded him to eat.
"I don't know." Jason said simply.
Carly nodded. "You can stay with Elizabeth until you decide then, right?"
Jason looked at her in suprise. The first real emotion to come to his face in weeks. Months even. Sonny and Carly were beaming on the inside. "What?"
"Lets just say I am more okay with you and Elizabeth then I was before." Carly said. Truth was that Elizabeth had to have something to do with Jason's recovery. And after seeing the whole thing first hand, she knew that the girl couldn't be all that bad. Just as long as she didn't hurt him at all.
Jason still looked slightly suprised over the words. "What?" he said again, still in disbelief.
So, you like? Am I still doing good? Let me know in a nice long review. Tell me what you liked about the chatper. And what you didn't like about the chapter. Then go on to say what you would all like to happen. Please? I love these types of reviews. They are really helpful. So, REVIEW!
