A/N: Ok I think this is going to be a pretty long chapter and I know you're all going to hate me at the end of it. I swear if I could have made it Liason without the temptation of bringing her back I would not have done that. I tried to avoid it at all costs but it had to happen. I mean and who knows what will happen…it's a soap remember! Ok I'll shut up now….please read and review!

Chapter Title: I Swear

Song: I Swear by All 4 One

*************************************************************************************

"I shouldn't have just walked out like that." Kylie tells Lorenzo as she paces back and forth behind him. "Ky will you relax?" he begins, keeping his place on the couch, "What do you think he expected you to do? Run up and give him a hug?" "Knowing Jason, probably." "Listen Kylie," says Lorenzo as he gets up, "You did what anyone in your position would do. Granted you got a little trigger happy with Courtney--" "That bitch deserved it and more." Kylie interrupts. "Anyway as I was saying, except that, you did everything I expected you to do. What I still don't get is why you had Ric bring you back to Port Charles in the first place." Kylie stares at him dead on, "I wanted to make Jason suffer. Like I did when he left. I wanted him to feel how I felt…how Robin must have felt." After barely choking out Robin's name Kylie turns away from Lorenzo who instinctively puts his hands on her shoulders, "Hey, listen that is not your fault. You know that." "But I should have been there!" Kylie insists, "He should've been there too. That's what she wanted." "I know, and I know you wanted him there too." Lorenzo tells her. "No I didn't!" Kylie says with such force Lorenzo is almost shocked, still he keeps his composure, "Ok maybe you didn't want him there but you needed him." Kylie doesn't answer, instead she grabs a bag by the door, and prepares to leave. "Kylie come on, where are you going?" "I'm going to my studio…I don't know when I'll be back." she tells him as she rushes out. Lorenzo sits down and covers most of his face with his hand.

I see the questions in your eyes

I know what's weighing on your mind

You can be sure I know my heart

`Coz I'll stand beside you through the years

You'll only cry those happy tears

And though I make mistakes

I'll never break your heart



Courtney comes down the stairs and sees Jason sitting on the couch. "Hey Jason." He doesn't answer. "Jason?" he realizes someone is talking to him and looks up, "Hey." "Come on you're not still thinking about that girl are you?" Courtney asks sitting down next to him. "Yeah Courtney, yeah I am. Speaking of which how are you doing after last night?" he asks changing the subject from Kylie to her, which Jason knew she would like. "Well I'm fine, but I'm never going to get that paint out of my clothes." Jason sighs and thinks to himself, "After all that happened all she's worried about is her stupid outfit?!?" Courtney continues on, "And I don't know what her problem with me was anyway I mean--" All of the sudden a knock comes at the door, "Jason! Jason open the door!" comes Emily's shout from outside. Jason almost falls as he bolts up to open the door, "Emily what is it? What's wrong?" Emily brushes past him and doesn't even acknowledge Courtney, "I was at dinner the other night, when my phone rang, I didn't answer it but when I checked to see who it was…Jase you're not going to believe this it was--" "Kylie's number." Jason says in unison with his sister. "Yeah it was…how did you know that?" Jason doesn't speak to his sister, because she already knows. "Jason she's not back…is she?" Jason silently nods. "Oh no. No, oh my God. Jason she can't be back." Jason is surprised at this, Emily always loved Kylie, before he can get a question in, Emily speaks again. "Where is she?" "I don't know, Em. I saw her last night…she left. With Lorenzo Alcazar." "What?! What is she doing with Alcazar?" "I don't know. She was staying with Ric but--" Jason's answer is cut short when Liz practically runs through the open door. "Oh thank God, Elizabeth." Emily says relieved to see her friend. "Yeah Emily what is it? What's so urgent? You're ok right?" Liz asks concerned. "Yeah I'm fine, you're not going to believe this." "What? Believe what? What's going on?" Liz presses turning to Jason. "Kylie's back in town." Jason tells her quietly. "Oh God no. No, Emily where is she?" This surprises Jason again, Liz and Kylie were always great friends. "What is it with you two? What's wrong with Kylie being back?" "Nothing." Liz says impatiently, turning back to Emily, "Em we have to find her." "I know and I think I know where we can, let's go. Bye Jason." "Bye Jase." Liz says as they walk out. Jason shuts the door very confused. Courtney chooses this as the time to whine, "What does everyone know this girl but me?" Jason looks at her with disgust.

And I swear by the moon and the stars in the sky

I'll be there

I swear like a shadow that's by your side

I'll be there

"Well we've checked her room at Kelly's, at Jake's and even at my house." Emily recounts, "And still haven't found her. Do you have any ideas?" "No not one." Liz answers her as she sits down on a bench at the docks. "I can't believe she's back after everything." Emily says. "I can." Elizabeth tells Emily who sits down next to her waiting for her to go on. "Remember when it happened? Almost 6 months before that was the last time we saw her. She was so happy. She'd been living with Robin for about a year. She had everything going for her." Liz begins as Emily takes over, "Yeah, and she told us how much she loved us, but she wouldn't be coming back to town anytime soon. She had Robin, she had her dancing, she was only what fifteen then? And she already had a dance company wanting to sign her. But she said as long as she had her studio in L.A. she was always going to dance for herself. And she did. Until that day…you know Marco told me she only dances when she's sad, or when she's hurt or angry now. She wasn't herself anymore. She missed living with Robin so much, and I don't care what she says I know she missed Jason too--" Emily stops talking when Liz grabs her am, "Oh my God Emily that's it." "What's it?" "What you said about Kylie having her studio in California…she has one here too!" Liz explains. "Oh that's right. I didn't even think of that. Do you think she's there?" Emily asks. "She has to be. If she really only dances when she's upset, and she saw Jason last night I'm almost sure of it. Come on let's go." Liz and Emily get up and take off.

For better or worse, till death do us part

I'll love you with every beat of my heart

And I swear

I'll give you every thing I can

I'll build your dreams with these two hands

We'll hang some memories on the walls

Inside a studio apartment with wooden floors and a single couch is Kylie. She switches her CD player to a song and begins to dance. She performs her routine with such ease, grace and precision it's obvious she knows what she is doing. Her dancing becomes even more fierce as the song speeds up and as it ends she doesn't move to change the song, instead collapses to the floor against the couch, breathing hard, with tears forming behind her eyes. "Kylie!" comes a voice from outside, "Kylie come on! We know you're in there." Liz shouts. "Leave me alone." Kylie yells back her voice breaking. "Come on Kylie…Ky we know what happened." That sparks something in Kylie she walks to the door and sees her two friends on the other side. Slowly she walks back leaving them in the doorway. Emily walks in, however Liz stays put with tears of her own after seeing Kylie so angry and sad. "Come on Kylie talk to us. Please…that's why you have us, we're here for you." "For how long?" Kylie screams turning around, "Until you just decide to leave one day like Jason did? Like my birth family did because I was to much of a hassle for them!" "Kylie come on we won't do that, we won't leave you!" Emily cries. "That's what I though about Robin, but she left didn't she! When Robin…When I knew that she wasn't here anymore I realized I don't have anyone. Everyone leaves some time. I didn't even get to say good bye…to any of those people because two of them just couldn't wait to leave me, and the other…and I was to quick to leave Robin." Like Kylie, Liz is in tears now and is still in the doorway. Emily who is crying too, still speaks to Kylie, "You did what Robin wanted, you were coming to get Jason so she could say good bye to him. It was too late, no one could have known that!" "Yeah and when I got here, to get Jason for her…where did I find him, in a church about to marry that slut he calls a fiancée. My phone rang…I thought someone would hear it so I ran out, and it was those damn doctors. Telling me what I already knew, that Robin was gone and I wasn't there to say good bye. That like everyone else in my life she left. And, Emily I didn't know what to do. But then I knew, before I finally left, I was going to make sure that everyone who hurt me and more importantly who hurt Robin paid for it, and I was going to start with Jason. But when I saw him…I knew I could never hurt him intentionally. And now I feel like I failed the most important person I had in my life, the one person I swore I would never let down. But I did let her down. I let Robin down. I wasn't there for her when she died, and know I can't punish the ones who made her feel the way she did when she was in the hospital. I can't do anything to help her, and Em I'd do everything to change that, but again…I can't." And in finishing her speech Kylie sits down on the couch head in her hands crying, Emily sits next to her and pulls Kylie into her, and Elizabeth finally walks in shuts the door and sinks down her hands over her mouth as she too cries for her friends. Kylie…and Emily who just happens to be crying for Robin as well.

And when just the two of us are there

You won't have to ask if I still care

`Coz as the time turns the page, my love won't age at all

And I swear by the moon and the stars in the sky

I'll be there

I swear like a shadow that's by your side

I'll be there



A/N: I tried not to do that…I didn't want to kill Robin but I had too. Alright you all hate me now don't you? It's ok as a complete Jason/Robin fan I hate me too.
