Port Charles was cool as the summer began. Warm enough to leave winter
clothes in storage but, cool enough to be uncomfortable if you didn't have
the right clothes on.Carly bundled her coat closer around her as a chill ran
up her back. She had been silent for awhile. She was listening to Jason
allowed him to tell her was possessed him to do the things he'd done
recently. What justified him lying to her. "Carly I wasn't trying to hurt you.
That was never my intention I didn't want you to get hurt. Sam showed up
here telling Sonny she was pregnant. You were both fighting all the time and
Michael was torn apart. I didn't want that to happen again. I knew that you
would be angry and you might lash out before you realized how it affected
the boys." Carly opened her mouth to object but Jason held his and up
silencing her and rushed to continue. " No one would blame you for that.
But, I didn't want Michael to go through that. I changed the results of the
test. I swore to you a long time ago I would do anything for Michael that's
still true. I never meant for you to get hurt." Carly scoffed at that and finally
spoke " Jason just how was it that I wasn't going to get hurt? Jase for the
first time possibly ever, you lied to me." And damn if there weren't tears in
her eyes. She didn't want to cry about it. Didn't want it to hurt as much as it
did but, that's just how it was. Jason sighed and grabbed the bridge of his
nose. He could feel one of the famous Carly headaches coming but it
wasn't her fault. This was going to be stressful and that was too bad
because he owed Carly an explanation. When Jason grabbed the bridge of
his nose time froze and she was still mad and there would be hell but , this
was the Jason she knew. She loved this Jason . 'Not like that." she silently
reminded herself. 'Used to love him like that though. funny how during
times like these you have to remind yourself of that.' "Carly I lied to
people I love, the most important people in my life. Courtney, my
grandmother, and I lied to you. But I lied for you, for the boys. I was trying
to protect you and I cant apologize for that." He said exasperated. 'I know
for Jase sometimes its as simple as protecting but,' "all the times you
protected us before you didn't lie. You left stuff out, things we couldn't
know but you never lied to m…us" And in that moment Jason got it. It
wasn't the lie or the reasons for it. Yeah she was mad about it and but he'd
done something that went against all she knew about him. She felt like
maybe she didn't know him anymore and that hurt and scared her. Carly
was hurt and he could fix it. Realizing he could fix it righted the situation
made things clear. Now, he just had to get her to understand and assure her
he was the same.
A/N : I know I have at least one more chapter to be up this week but please Review so I can figure out if anyone is interested in Jason and Carly as more than friends.
