Chapter Title: Worries
Song: The Remedy by Jason Mraz
********************************************************************************************************
Brenda walks into her hotel room and begins putting things away. "Hi." comes a voice. Brenda jumps and screams startled, "Jason! How the hell did you get in here?" "Sorry." Jason laughs, "Would you like me to leave?" "Not a chance." Brenda tells him settling down. She walks over and kisses him. "Guess what." "What?" he asks. "I went to Kelly's to tell Elizabeth about us, but she wasn't there." "So you didn't tell anyone?" Jason buts in. "Well I didn't tell Elizabeth." Brenda continues, "But Luke was there and so was Bobbie. So they know and I asked them not to tell anyone." "Good. Carly is my best friend but we really don't need her opinion on things right now." he tells her. "So what about you?" Brenda asks, walking to a different part of her room, "Did you tell anyone?" Jason gets up to follow her, "Well originally I was just going to tell Emily, but while we were talking someone else showed up." "Who?" "Lila." Jason informs her. "So Lila, Emily, Luke, and Bobbie all know." Brenda recaps. "Yeah." Jason says, "I found something else out too." Brenda looks at him waiting for an explanation. "Emily is in love with Nikolas Cassadine." Jason answers her stare. "Wait a minute. I thought she was married to Zander." Brenda says confused. "Well she is." Jason explains, "But apparently when she thought she was going to die she didn't want to leave Zander in doubt that she didn't love him, so she married him in spite of the fact that she was, and still is in love with Nikolas." "Wow." Brenda says. "I tried to help her the best I could, so did Lila but Brenda she is still really confused." Jason tells her. "Would it help if I talk to her?" she asks. "You could try." says Jason. "I will." Brenda tells him. "Anyway I was thinking about going to Thanksgiving dinner at the Quartermaine's, you want to come?" Jason just stares at her. "Kidding, I know you don't want to." she says. "No you know what? I'll go." he tells her. "You're going to come with me to see Edward?" Brenda asks sarcastically. "I'll hide out in Dillon's room." Jason says. "Who's Dillon?" "Ned didn't tell you?" Jason asks. "No." Brenda continues, "Who's Dillon?" "Dillon is Ned's brother." he tells her. "Oh my God! Tracy has another son?" Brenda cries. "It would seem that way." "What's he like?" Brenda asks. "Well he tried to get mixed up in the mob when he first got to town. Other than that he seems like a good kid. Anyway you'll meet him tonight." Jason tells her. "I guess." she says still reeling from the information Jason just gave her. "I better get ready, if we aren't just going to stay here. So I'll be by…when?" Jason asks. "Umm…well all I need to do is take a shower and get read so I'd say come back in an hour, hour and a half." she tells him. "Okay. See you." he says before kissing her and heading out. "Bye." she repeats. Brenda heads into the bathroom to take a shower, she stops when there is a knock at the door. "Get a new watch Jase, that was about a minute!" she calls laughing. Another knock comes. "Jason?" she calls, "You can just let yourself in. You didn't have a problem with it before!" The knocking still comes. "Uggghh!" she groans, and goes to answer the door. Brenda opens it and is shocked at who's standing on the other side. "Miss Barrett I presume." says the man, walking in. "Oh my God…Luis?" Brenda whispers feeling stupid, Luis was dead. "Luis was my brother." says the man, "I am Lorenzo Alcazar." Brenda just stares at him.
I saw fireworks from the freeway
and behind closed eyes
I cannot make them go away
Cause you were born on the fourth of July,
freedom ring
now something on the surface it stings
"You're Luis's brother?" Brenda asks. "He never mentioned me?" Lorenzo questions. "No he did." Brenda tells him. "But I didn't expect you to show up in Port Charles, let alone in my hotel room." "Well here I am. I'm sorry we seem to have gotten off on the wrong foot, Lorenzo Alcazar." Brenda looks at him suspiciously the reaches for his extended hand, "Brenda Barrett. Now, not to be rude but what do you want?" "You were with my brother for four or five years so you knew him pretty well, correct?" Lorenzo asks. "Yes." "Over those five years he grew to love you, did he not?" "Yes." Brenda repeats. "Did you love him?" Brenda sighs and sits down, "I loved him, but not the way he wanted me to. I didn't love Luis like he loved me." Lorenzo sits on a chair across from her, "Listen, I didn't see my brother before he died, I barely ever spoke to him. I need to know about the time before his death. For instance how did you get to know him in the first place." "Well I'll get to that in a minute…Luis took me anywhere I wanted to go, he bought me anything I wanted, we did anything I could think of. He swore he would take care of me and keep me away from my old life here in Port Charles so that I wouldn't hurt my friends and family." Brenda begins. "Why would you hurt them?" asks Lorenzo. "My mother had a mental illness. I was tested for it and it came back positive. One day my mother and I were driving along the coast, she grabbed the wheel and we went into the ocean. That's when I was presumed dead." "And that's when Luis found you?" Lorenzo interrupts. "Basically, yes." Brenda tells him, "I told him I didn't want to hurt anyone like that, and he promised to take care of me. That's what he did." "Until?" Alcazar pursues. "Until we came back to Port Charles." Brenda explains to him, "He wouldn't let me off the yacht, I was his prisoner, not his friend. Then about a month after I escaped from they yacht I found out that the medication he had been giving me was to make me think I was going crazy. I really never had my mother's disease and Luis knew that years before I did. I wouldn't speak to him. I hated him. Then Alexis killed him and I was actually, well certainly not happy, but I was I don't know. But anyway that's about it." "Well I am sorry on behalf of the Alcazar name that my brother hurt you. But he was hurt too, so was I." Lorenzo says. "No offense Lorenzo, but I think that you two are the only ones who miss him." Brenda scoffs. "Well I better get going. It was nice meeting you Brenda." the man says, getting up. "Likewise." Brenda tells him sincerely. Lorenzo begins to walk out the door, but stops, "You knew Luis pretty well." "I'd like to think so." Brenda replies. "Did you know he has a daughter?" Lorenzo asks. Brenda is shocked, "A daughter?" Lorenzo looks pleased to have unnerved her, "My niece Sage. Yes so you see when Ms. Davis killed my brother to protect her daughter, she was actually taking away from another child. Good night." He walks out, Brenda shuts the door behind him confused. She walks to take a shower.
I said something on the surface
it kind of makes me nervous
who says that you deserve this
and what kind of god would serve this?
We will cure this dirty old disease
if you've got the poison
I've got the remedy
About twenty minutes later Brenda is doing her hair. There comes another knock at the door. "Jason." she says answering it, Brenda walks back to her room to continue. He follows her, "What's wrong?" he asks concerned. "Nothing she tells him." "Brenda…" he persists. She sighs, "Lorenzo Alcazar came to see me." "Did he hurt you?" Jason jumps in alarmed. "Ugh, Jason you worry to much. No he has no reason to hurt me. He just wanted to know about Luis. Even though I think I learned more than Lorenzo did." Brenda tells him. "What do you mean?" Jason continues the bombardment of questions. "Did you know he…Luis I mean, he has a daughter?" she asks. "No I didn't." Jason tells her, "How old?" "He didn't say, her name is Sage. She would have to be in her teens I would guess." Brenda says. "Probably." Jason replies. "Listen Jase, I don't really want to talk about this anymore. How about I go finish getting dressed and we can go." she asks. "That's fine." Jason assures her. She goes back into her room and five minutes later comes back out in a casual, but still beautiful, black dress. "Wow. You look great." Jason tells her amazed. "Thank you…" Brenda replies laughing, "I know." Jason laughs a little then tries to cover it. "That was a laugh!" Brenda exclaims like he had just said his first word. "What?" Jason asks trying to deny it. "No, no don't do that. That was an actual laugh from Jason Morgan himself!" she says laughing herself. "Yeah, it was. What can I say…you make me smile." he tells her. Brenda stops laughing and kisses him. "What was that for?" he asks smiling. Brenda stares at him, "I felt like it." "Well maybe I should laugh more often." he teases. "Jason you don't have to laugh to get a kiss." She kisses him again, "But yeah you should do it more often. When you smile, your whole face lights up and I smile too." Jason just hugs her, and kisses her forehead, "Let's go." he says. They walk out the door and into the elevator.
the remedy is the experience.
It is a dangerous liaison
I say the comedy is that its serious.
Which is a strange enough new play on words
I say the tragedy is how you're gonna spend
the rest of your nights with the light on
So shine the light on all of your friends
because it all amounts to nothing in the end
I wont worry my life away.
I wont worry my life away
