For those who haven't ditched me, thanx so much!

Ok, I have to say that this chapter is probably the best chapter I have ever written. This is the chapter where Jasontells Sonny and Carly how AJ killed the Quartermaine's and how he witnessed everything and just couldn't do a thing. I hope you like this chapter, since it's the hardest I have ever written.

Chapter 12

Jason sat down on the couch, his head in his hands. How could Sam have done this? She promised, and yeah, maybe he did overreact, but had every right to. After watching AJ murder all the Quartermaines right before his very eyes, he never wanted anyone close to him to kill anyone, no matter who they were. Now that he thought about it, he felt like a complete idiot and went off on her without letting her talk or explain. In his mind, she lied and betrayed him.

Sonny walked into the penthouse with knocking. He always did. "Jason, c'mon man. You're getting married in two hours." Right then, it hit Jason. He wasn't getting married to the woman he loved. And it hurt him much more than he expected. It felt like a thousand times worse than getting shot.

"It's off. Sam and I aren't getting married."

"What? Jason, if you broke her heart, I swear—"Sonny started.

"I didn't break her heart Sonny. She broke mine. She lied to and betrayed me. So, I told her the wedding was off." Jason said sharply.

"So you called it off? Jason, as if you have done your share of saintly deeds too. As if you haven't lied to Sam. Look me in the eye and tell me you've never lied to Sam." Jason couldn't. "Exactly. I told you I'd break your neck if you broke her heart. And you did. So, I'm holding my end of the bargain."

Sonny tackled Jason. He threw a punch and it hit Jason's face. His lip started to bleed. Jason retaliated by kneeing Sonny in the stomach. Sonny winced for a moment and punched Jason again. This time, Jason ducked and pushed Sonny off him. Sonny fell on the table by the door. Jason walked towards him, picked him up, and punched him in the face. Sonny's nose started to bleed but Sonny took no notice. He kicked Jason's shin and when Jason's hands went instinctively to his shins, Sonny took the opportunity to wring Jason's neck. His grip was tight and though Jason could breathe for now, he knew he wouldn't be for longer. Sonny was angry and was keeping his promise.

Carly walked in frantically and yelled "Sam's—what the hell are you doing?" Sonny took notice of his girlfriend. Carly took his hands and eased them off Jason. She pushed Sonny away and held him back from attacking Jason again. "What is wrong with you? You're best friends!"

"He broke Sam's heart. I'm breaking his neck," Sonny screamed. He lunged at Jason again, but Carly stopped him.

"Not now. Sam's missing. She never showed up at my apartment." Carly said. She was worried. She knew Sam had probably told Jason about Luis and figured that Jason broke it off with Sam. But Sam wouldn't just disappear like this. She would have called Carly or Sonny. It just wasn't like her. "I'm guessing Sam told you about Luis, right Jason?" Jason nodded, while wiping off the blood on his lips.

"What? Luis Alcazar?" Sonny asked, alerted by the dead man's name.

"I'll tell you later Sonny, but right now, we have to find Sam." Carly said. Jason shook his head.

"I'm not going. Sam can take care of herself." Carly and Sonny's jaws dropped.

"What?" Sonny yelled. Carly must have sensed that Sonny was going to try and beat Jason up again and held him back.

"You heard me. She can take care of herself. She certainly was when she killed Luis." Jason said coolly. Carly had enough. She wasn't going to stop Sonny. But she sure as hell was going to get there before him. when she reached Jason, she swung her hand back and brought it back forward as hard as she could. She slapped Jason, leaving a hand print there.

Jason and Sonny looked surprised, as if time stood still. However, Carly was red and huffing. "You don't know the whole story do you? No, of course not. Or else we'd probably be looking for Sam!"

"Whole story? What whole story is there to tell? Sam killed Luis! She promised that she wouldn't kill anyone! Do you know how hard it is to learn that someone I love killed someone? Remember AJ? And the Quartermaine's? I watched them die!" Carly immediately snapped back to the day Sam told her about Jason. It brought tears to Sam's eyes. Soon after, she was sobbing on a comforting Carly.

It was the first time Jason had ever told anyone exactly what happened the day the Quartermaine's were murdered. Jason's voice trembled. "I watched AJ first kill Grandfather. At first, I thought that they were playing a joke on me. I went over to Grandfather, laughing, thinking that he wasn't dead. But then I saw the blood and his open eyes. When I realized it, I though AJ was drunk. But when I heard him laugh, I took a whiff of the air and I didn't smell a thing. No alcohol, nothing. Then Aunt Tracy heard something and saw Grandfather lying on the floor. It was bad enough that Grandmother passed away 2 months before. Aunt Tracy went yelling and screaming to his side. She told him to call an ambulance. But he didn't. He stood there and laughed. He cocked his gun again and held it up to her, right in her face. She was scared. For the first time, I saw here scared. No, not scared. Terrified. She begged him not to. But he did anyway. Aunt Tracy fell beside Grandfather. He turned to me and asked me if we were having fun yet. I was too petrified to talk. He then told me that it was too bad that I didn't see him kill Ned or Dillon. He was even sadder that Aunt Tracy didn't see it. AJ said their bodies were in their rooms upstairs." Jason fumed. Carly was disgusted. Sonny had to kill people to protect himself and the people he loved. He never wanted to kill someone that was helpless or for no reason at all. The thought made him want to throw up right there.

"Then, Dad walked in. He saw AJ standing with a gun in his hand and me sitting on the floor with Grandfather and Aunt Tracy's bodies. Like me, he thought it was some joke. But when he saw the blood, he turned to AJ asking him what he had done. You know what AJ said?" Sonny, who had never heard exactly what happened, shook their heads.

Carly was already in tears, sinking to the floor. "He told him that he was having fun. The look on Dad's face….he couldn't say another word because Mom walked in with Emily." Carly gasped. Jason continued, his knuckles crunching and turning white. "AJ looked happy. The whole family, all in the same room. Emily had no idea what was going on. She was innocent. Whatever my family did in the past, it wasn't her fault. AJ killed her first. The bullet hit her heart."

"Oh my God…." Carly whimpered. "How….old was she?" Jason held up all ten fingers. "Oh my God…"

"Mom caught Emily. She was already dead. Mom was screaming and Dad was right beside her. I still couldn't move. Even when my baby sister was just murdered. When Dad pronounced her dead, AJ shot him too. Dad didn't go down without a fight though. He stumbled over to AJ. I think he was going to try and take the gun away from him. But he fell three feet away. Mom just couldn't take it anymore. She begged AJ to kill her. I wanted to scream "NO!" but the words couldn't come out. AJ told her that he would gladly do it and the bullet hit her right between the eyes."

Carly herself couldn't take it anymore and fainted. It was too much. All the deaths. Sonny picked her up and lay her on the couch, her head resting on his lap. "How did AJ escape?" Jason walked to the window staring outside.

"Since I was petrified, he used the end of the gun to knock me out. The last thing I heard was his laugh and him telling me 'Catch me if you can.' I couldn't protect my family. I was such a coward. I watched the brother I loved, kill my entire family. That's why I can't let anyone else I love do the same thing. I said to myself that I would never just sit and watch another person do the same thing AJ did. When Sam told me she killed Luis, I snapped. Another person I loved killed someone."

"Jason, you know that Sam would never kill someone on purpose. Something must have happened. Sam didn't do this intentionally." Jason knew this. But when Sam told him, he just couldn't take it. "I guess Carly knows the whole story or else she wouldn't have slapped you. We're just gonna have to wait." Jason nodded and took a seat in the armchair, both sitting in silence, waiting for the story that might send them in the right direction. The direction that would lead them to Sam.
