A/N: I typed this and the one before it and after it on November 24 but the upload is disabled so if ur just seeing this days later or whatever you know when I actually attempted to update my stories.

Ch. 13Delusional Love

" I knew you'd come."

He returned her smile.

" Where else am I going to go?" Sonny quizzed. " I got a hold of Jason. We didn't stay connected long but I told him to trace the phone. He should be here soon."

" I missed you."

" I was only over there for a few minutes. Besides you were asleep." he replied to her odd statement. " How do you feel?"

"Much better now that you're here."

"What are you talking about? I've been here." he asked confused. "Do you need anything?"

"I'm just tired."

"Ok, just stay awake until help gets here. Alright?" He hadn't seen any signs from her indicating that she was in pain. But she looked exhausted, like she'd said. "Hey, come on. Don't close your eyes." he encouraged. The rustling of footsteps told him that Anders was giving them some privacy.

"Jason?"

"No, that was just Anders." he corrected, assuming she'd heard the movement and hoped it was their rescue. "We'll be out of here soon."

"Sonny's worried, I think he'll take it hard."

"What are you…I am-" she put her hand over his mouth and continued.

" I just want to tell you a few things, so listen alright?"

"Maybe you shouldn't. Just concentrate on staying awake for me." he suggested. It was obvious that her injuries were internal and were taking toll. He didn't want her to wear out whatever energy she had trying to have a conversation with him.

"Will you make sure Sonny's ok?"

"Umm..ok. I'll take care of him." Sonny answered, it appeared she didn't know who she was talking to. But if answering her questions would put her mind at ease he would do it.

"I'm glad I got to see you again." she confessed, looking into his ocean blue eyes. God she had missed his eyes. And his touch, and everything else about him. " I know how much you hate keeping secrets. But I know that you don't want Sonny to feel angry or betrayed when he finds out. So you don't have to tell him if you don't want to."

Sonny's eyes grew darker at the idea of someone he knew keeping secrets from him. Quickly the angry thoughts were replaced with a fearful realization. To him everything she was saying sounded an awful lot like last words.

"Alright. That's enough." He said trying to keep his voice steady. "Anything else you want to say, you can say when we get home."

"Every minute we've spent together, both good and bad, are the most memorable of my life. I wouldn't change a second of it."

"Including the plane?" he asked trying to lighten the gloom that seemed to make home on the island. But she wasn't even listening to him. He couldn't say that he wasn't glad she thought so much of there time together, but he didn't need her to tell him like this.

"I love you."

For a second, he wasn't sure he'd heard right. True they were related and he had no doubt that they each loved the other on some level that would grow with time, but he didn't think either would be able to admit it so soon.

"You…I…" he cleared his throat, unsure how to say the same to her. Or even if he could. Why was it so hard to simply tell his sister that he loved her, even at such a dire moment he was unable to open up.

" I just wanted to make sure I told you the truth. About how I felt. I know we haven't known each other that long, but I'm pretty sure I've known since the day I met you. I just needed to say it. I love you, Jason."

"Jason?"
