CHAPTER FOUR

They all realize that Courtney hasn't been told that Jason was marrying Robin instead of her.

Carly said to Courtney, "Let's all go sit down so we can discuss it."

"Good idea." Sonny said then said to Aiden. "Head for Vegas."

Jason, Robin, Carly, Sonny follow Courtney to the back of the plane so they can tell her what is going on. Robin wonders if she can keep her mouth shut. She gets Jason's attention and asks him. He shakes his head no.

Jason said to Courtney, "Courtney , I need to talk to Sonny and Carly for a minute before we can have a talk." He takes them aside and tells them "We can't tell Courtney the whole truth because she might open her mouth to the wrong person, in other words we can't trust her with the whole truth. She won't understand why we need to keep silent for Robin's sake or she could want revenge against Robin for me marrying Robin instead of her. I don't want to risk Robin's life by telling Courtney the truth."

"I agree with you. She may be my sister but she hasn't been around us all her life or learned not to say anything about what we do. She is friends with that cop Brian so I agree with you."

"I agree also. I love Courtney like a sister but I don't know what she would do with the information. She could go after Robin and I think Robin has had enough if what I think happened to her did. Her boyfriend who was mob beat her up, didn't he?"

"Yes, and it was Johnny O'Brien who did it. I thought he was dead but instead he is here and in the mob high up and he hurt Robin badly lots of times and there was hospital trips and he had to bring in the mob doctor lots of times. If he would find her or she would have to go back he would probably either beat her and kill her or beat her until likely she would need the hospital, she wouldn't last long after that I figure. She has bruises everywhere and she has been severely abused and punished with chains and whips when he felt like it. I need you to help us not hinder us. I need you not to fight with Robin all the time and not throw our affair and her HIV in her face."

"I already said I would try and I will. No one deserves to be abused like that and I will try with her."

"Thank you, Carly that takes a load off my mind. Let's go tell Courtney that I saw Robin and that is all it took for me to realize I still love Robin."

"I'm sorry Courtney is going to be hurt but I think you are doing the right thing. I don't think Courtney could have stood this life. I am glad that you are helping Robin. She needs someone to help her after the hell Johnny has put her through, not to mention us and what we did to her. If we hadn't of tossed her out of our lives she wouldn't have been abused in the first place let alone for how long she has been abused."

"I know I feel this is my fault too." Carly said, "If I hadn't of done what I did you two would still be together and this wouldn't have happened to her."

"We can be as sorry as we are but the main thing is to get her away from him forever which we are doing."

On the other side of the plane Courtney is trying to figure out who Robin really is and what is going on with her and she isn't talking to her or answering any of her questions. She is talking to Brenda but not her and she didn't understand why or what is going on. She has a feeling she isn't going to like it when she is told.

Several minutes later Jason, Carly and Sonny come back and Jason sits down next to Robin and whispers something in her ear. Robin then whispers into Brenda's ear. This is making Courtney mad and she figures that Robin had the answers and goes after her.

"You, what the hell is going on I demand you tell me or I will flatten you." Courtney said shocking Jason, Carly and Sonny.

"You couldn't beat me with both of my hands tied behind my back." Robin tells her and Courtney moves over to Robin and tries to hit her and Robin grabs her arm and gets up and puts Courtney's arm behind her back and she said to Courtney. "You will not hit me or anything else I have been abused enough I am not going to take any shit from you so go over there and sit down or I will hurt you and I can do it. I was taught by the best, after all. I just was too small against Johnny to hurt him but you I can take with no problems so sit down and you will be told what is going on."

Courtney goes over to sit down. She wants answers. "Courtney, Jason and I talked tonight and he doesn't really want to marry you. He doesn't love you like that he told me, and I asked him why he was sure that he didn't love you and he told me that being in Paris where Robin was made him realize it and he also realized he still loved Robin and so he and I went to Robin's and Brenda who was there to see Robin told us that she was probably at this bridge and she was and Jason who doesn't want to waste any more time with Robin asked her to marry him and she said yes. As you can tell her previous boyfriend beat her up and we got her away from him and he is high up in his profession and we didn't want him to get to Robin again because he would probably kill her."

"So what I love Jason and he and I are getting married." Courtney said.

"Courtney, I will be marrying Robin in a few hours not you. I don't love you I realized that when I went to see Robin and noticed the bruises and I want to kill her ex-boyfriend. I don't know why you are being selfish with what you said but you had better stop it. Robin will be my wife by morning and she will not put up with you and your remarks. She has been abused enough and you will treat her with respect or you will not be around us. I will cut you from our lives which I probably should do anyway but you are Sonny's sister so we will be running into each other and I will not put up with you treating Robin badly and you will treat her with respect or you won't be in our lives."

"How can you do this to me? I love you so much Jason so how can you do this. I will not give up you will come back to me because you love me."

Carly said "You are delusional if you think you can come between them. I saw how they were together and the only reason I could is because I used Michael, otherwise there would never have been a way to come between them. You need to accept that Jason doesn't love you and he does love Robin and they are getting married in a few hours. You won't come between them no matter what you do. Give up Courtney and get on with your life without Jason. Now that Jason has found Robin no one will come between them."

"He loved me. He loves me and only me."

Robin decides to see if she can get her to understand. "Courtney, he loves me and always has, you were someone to warm his bed until he found me again. The minute he hit Paris he was thinking of me always no matter what because he knew I was here. We are getting married and you will not come in between us no matter what you do so grow up and realize that you have lost him and I will never let him go again. We have always loved each other no matter who we were with and we always knew that we would ultimately find our way back together so you have a choice you can get on with your life or you can be angry, grieved and so forth and try to come between Jason and me which won't work and you would be destroying your life by not moving on. I have always loved Jason and Jason and I are back together now and no one not you or anyone else will come between us this time and if anyone tries to I will hurt them badly. So I would suggest getting on with your life without Jason. I will never let him go again because I know what it's like to live without him."

"You bitch, this is all your fault. I love him, I can't give him up. I love him so much."

"Courtney, you will leave Jason and Robin alone or I will send you away from Port Charles. You will not try to come in between them. They have always loved each other and they belong together and I've known this since Robin got Jason to dance with her."

"Jason doesn't dance, Sonny."

"He dances with me."

"No he hates to dance and won't dance."

"I do dance with Robin and she is the only one I will dance with."

"Why dance with her when you won't dance with me?"

"I think you know what that means I like to dance and so he dances with me because I like to dance." Robin told Courtney.

"You really dance with her?"

"Yes. Robin loves to dance and she is good at it and it makes her happy."

"Did I ever stand a chance of keeping you happy?"

"I will tell you the truth I was content with you but not happy and with Robin I was always happy that she chose me to love and spend her life with before I ruined it by telling everyone I was Michael's father which meant I cheated on her while she was at Yale. I should have thought of what that would do to Robin but I didn't and I paid for it, I lost Robin, the one person I didn't want to lose, but because I was selfish and an arrogant asshole then and thought I could have it all I lost Robin and I will not take a chance of losing her again, not for you or anyone."

"Jason, thank you, I love you, and always will."

"I love you too, Robin and I always will."

"No! No! NO! You are mine."

"Jason does not belong to anyone he chooses to spend his life with me instead of a child like you. Grow up, Courtney, you remind me of a teenager who wants her way and doesn't get it. You are not someone who can handle a man like Jason and I can, so grow up. I can see why he doesn't feel real guilty for choosing me over you and our life together over you and him together and what could have been your life together. Maybe if you weren't acting like a child you could have stood a chance with Jason and now I understand why he didn't have a guilty conscience for dumping you, a child who couldn't possibly keep up with him in any areas."

"I could and did."

"No you didn't. With Robin and Robin only I saw the stars every time and I didn't have to try to make myself want you sexually. The sex wasn't that great but with Robin I didn't have to fake wanting her like I had to you. I'm sorry Courtney but you could use some lessons in bed. Now this is done and over I will marry Robin in a few hours we are almost to Vegas and I will be marrying Robin there not you. Like Robin said grow up. I am not your property I am not yours, I am Robin's and will stay Robin's."

"Put seat belts on we will be landing in a few minutes. Little Bit I called the family and they are all on their way, they want to see you get married.'

"What does that mean?"

"My family is on their way here so we have to wait for them to get here before we can get married or they may be waiting in Vegas for us."

"Will Mac be able to convince you not to marry me?"

"You come first Jason just like you always have. I will not let Mac or anyone else talk me out of marrying you. This is forever." She leans over and kisses him which surprises him and he kisses her back passionately.

When they break apart. "You never kissed me like that. Why not?"

"Because that is how Robin and I have always kissed. WE have always been passionate with each other we bring that out in each other and with no one else." They land and wonder what awaits them.
