*************************************************************************************************
Jason is in his penthouse a week after Courtney left. He is shooting pool, when Sonny comes in. "Hey." Sonny greets him. "Hi." Jason says looking up from his game. "How are you doing?" Sonny asks. "Well," Jason begins "I've been better." "Still upset about Courtney?" Sonny guesses. "Wouldn't you be?" Jason snaps at him. "Well, you know you haven't really been… able to--" Sonny begins. "What?' Jason yells, "What? Just say it Sonny! I haven't what?" "I'm just saying you haven't been concentrating on work very much lately, that's all" Sonny explains. "Oh." Jason says, "I see. What now I am incapable of doing my job? I-I'm not killing people to your liking Sonny? Is that it? Huh?" Sonny looks at him and says, "No, now would you just calm down?" "No I won't apparently I cant kill people correctly I get it." Jason replies, "Well how's this for you?" Jason takes out his gun and shoots a picture of him and Courtney. "Hey!" Sonny shouts, "I get that you're upset. But you need to calm down before you hurt yourself or someone else!" Sonny walks out and Jason throws the pool stick down.
How can you see into my eyes like open doors
leading you down into my core
where I've become so numb.
In Sonny's jet a woman wearing dark sunglasses and a hat is arguing with the pilot. "What do you mean we won't get there at the time you said?" the woman says. "Listen, I shouldn't even have brought you on here," the pilot begins, 'If Mr. Corinthos knew he'd fire me for sure so just sit down and be grateful." "Sonny wouldn't mind, I'm sure of it." the woman replies. "Listen lady just go sit down, please?" the pilot begs. "Fine!" the woman replies. She walks out of the cockpit and sits down in a chair. Rummaging through one of her bags she pulls out a picture of Jason. "Something tells me that you need me. You may not want me, I sure as hell don't want to see you and only God knows why I am doing this, but I'll be there soon to see what's going on." the woman says as she puts the picture back in her bag. "Can't this plane go any faster?" she yells.
Without a soul,
my spirit sleeping somewhere cold
until you find it there and lead it back home.
Carly walks into Jason's penthouse and finds Jason knocking things over, breaking glasses, and throwing things off of his desk. "Jason!" she yells. He ignores her and continues. "Jason, come on!" she starts. Jason goes to grab the lamp on the table, but Carly gets to it first and grabs it before he does. "Jase stop it!" Carly yells at him. He looks at her, and realizes what he has been doing. He sits down on the couch and punches his fist into his palm. Carly sits down next to him and sees something, "Oh God Jason your hand is bleeding." He looks at his palm and sets his hand down on the coffee table as Carly gets the first aid kit from the kitchen. She comes back out and starts to clean and dress his cuts. "Now do you want to tell me what that was all about?" Carly asks. "I'm just having a bad day." Jason tells her. "Yeah I've had a few of those, but I don't trash my living room." Carly replies as she finishes bandaging his hand, "All done." "Thanks." he says. "Hey I never asked how things went with A.J." she tells Jason. "Alright," he starts, "Things got cut short when Mike called and told me-" "That Courtney was leaving. I know, Mike told us." Carly says to him. "Yeah, I didn't think that she would leave Port Charles but I-I'm glad she did." Jason tells her. "Yeah, well so am I." Carly says closing up the first aid kit, "I never expected her to do something like that." "Me either." Jason sighs, "But it seems like everyone I get close to betrays me in some way. You did, Courtney…Robin." "Well, I don't really think you can compare what Courtney and me did to what Robin did." Carly says. "Can we not talk about this? Please?" Jason asks. "Sure, I have to get going anyway." Carly replies, "Do you want to come over? Sonny's probably ordering in from the Grill." "No I'm just going to go upstairs and sleep or something." Jason says to her. "Ok well, call us if you need anything or if you want to talk." Carly says getting up. 'I will..." Jason replies giving her a hug, "Thank you." "Bye." Carly says as she walks out. Jason shuts the door and cleans up around the living room before heading up the stairs.
Wake me up inside,
Wake me up inside,
call my name and save me from the dark,
bid my blood to run before I come undone,
save me from the nothing I've become.
The door to the penthouse clicks open quietly, and in walks the same woman from the plane. She looks around and then walks upstairs to Jason's room. He is still asleep so she sits in the chair across the room from his bed. While waiting for him to get up she goes back and forth deciding whether or not to stay. The last time she does this he starts to get up and she stays silent. Jason wakes up and looks on the nightstand next to him to a picture of Courtney. "Damn you!" Jason shouts as he throws the picture at the door. It shatters. He sits down on the bed putting his head in his hands "You know that really isn't good for the frame." the woman says taking off her dark sunglasses and hat. "Brenda…what the hell are you doing here?" Jason asks surprised. Brenda just smiles at him and says "I honestly don't know. I heard about you and Courtney though, I'm sorry." "Yeah," Jason begins his voice getting softer and breaking a little "So am I." Brenda walks over and sits next to him. She then surprises not only Jason but herself by giving him a hug. Even more surprising to both of them, he hugs her back.
Now that I know what I'm without,
you can't just leave me,
breathe into me and make me real.
Bring me to life.
