Ch. 11 Downfall

"That's not how this works!" he said angrily into the phone.

She listened to him yell, just as she'd suspected he would. Which could be strange considering his first impression was that of a charming, helpful person. It was all because he knew what to say, and that he could use her to get what he wanted by promising her everything she wanted.

"But this whole thing with the shipments and the cops isn't helping me at all. Messing with them is only making him work harder and longer. How does that help me?"

"You had to know that this wasn't going to be taken lying down. Of course Corinthos and Morgan are going to try and figure it out." he said matter of factly.

"Yeah, ok I get that. But..." she sent a glance towards the door, making sure it was closed and no one would hear her conversation. "But sooner or later he'll piece it all together. If I just tell him the truth now, there could still be chance."

She heard his chuckle through the phone and shivered at the sound.

'How could you let yourself get involved in his game?' she mentally asked herself.

"And how much of the truth did you plan on telling, Ms. Scorpio? The whole truth and nothing but? Go ahead, see if he gives you the time of day again. Other than to pull the trigger of course."

"He wouldn't-"

"Of course he would." he interrupted. "Corinthos and Morgan always, ALWAYS seek revenge on people who go after their family. Or were you just going to leave that part out and just feed me wolves? Get this straight; if you cross me I'll make sure everyone knows all about the part you played in this."

Before Robin could answer the dial tone filled the receiver. She sighed heavily thought about the day she'd had. For some reason she'd taken the drive up to that place, but barely made it out of the car before turning around and getting away as fast as possible. At first she'd thought it was strange that he opted to use that place instead of Shadybrook. But it did make sense. Shadybrook was a mainstream facility, so there was a greater chance that someone would see what was going on.

'Maybe I should tell them everything.' she though.

But would she be able to stand the way he would look at her? He would hate her. That couldn't happen. Not when she felt like she was close. Like she actually had a chance.

"He's right. I can't. I have to stick with it and let it run it's course." she thought out loud.

Jason was getting frustrated, not to mention suspicious. It had been weeks since there was any sort of contact or move by the stalker. Which was definitely not like any stalker he'd ever heard of. On top of that, they had someone tampering with their business.

So much was happening and nobody had any idea what to do about it. He shrugged his jacket off, and decided to head upstairs. As usual he stopped at Robin's door to check on her. This time he was surprised to see she was still awake.

"Robin? Everything alright?"

"Yeah. Why wouldn't it be?" she asked him.

"It's late. What are you still doing up?"

"Just thinking." she answered standing up and walking over to him. "Do you ever think? About us, I mean."

He didn't like where this was going. Their history was not his favorite subject and he really did not want to revisit. He sighed and put his hands on his hips as he so often did when he spoke.

"Let's not get into this, ok?"

By now, she was closer to him and he thought he could see a tear or two in her eyes.

"Why not? Don't you ever wonder what might have been? If I hadn't-" he put up his hand to stop her from going further.

"What happened, happened. There's nothing anyone can do to change that." she took another step so they were only inches apart.

"I do. I think about it a lot. I think about how good we were. We can be that again, Jason. Just give us the chance, and we can be happy. Don't you want that?"

He opened his mouth to respond but the words never made it out. In a flash she was pressing her lips against his, and before he could stop himself, he was kissing back. All his pent up emotions flowed from him into the kiss. Robin was beside herself with happiness. It was all she wanted and it was in her hands.

"Jason. I love you. I always have." she admitted breathlessly.

"I love you too, Courtney."

Fierce reality came charging back to her and she pushed him away as she tried to register it.

"What?!" she asked in anger. The look on his face told her that he too realized what he'd said and done.

"I'm sorry."' he stammered.

"Sorry?" she began. "Sorry for what? That you said her name or that it was me you were kissing instead of her?"

"That shouldn't of happened. Any of it. But it did, and i'm sorry if i hurt you." he saw her wipe away a few tears and take a breath before shaking her head.

"Don't worry about it. You're right, it shouldn't have happened. Um..it's late, i'm going to go to bed."

"Robin."

"Goodnight, Jason."

Accepting there was no excuse for what had happened, jason simply nodded his head and left the room shutting the door behind him. He decided it was best for him to try and rest as well.

She heard him close the door to his own room and waited. After a few minutes, she quietly snuck downstairs and out of the building.
