A/N ok so I hated writing this chapter don't know why but it just wouldn't work the way I wanted it to, spent way longer trying to fix it so this is it.
Jason looked to Anna as Sam left. "We need to talk."
Anna swallowed, he sounded so serious, what did he want to talk about. "Okay, what's up." She tried to keep her voice light.
He smiled gently and motioned to the couch. "Why don't you sit down."
She bit her lip and nodded taking a seat on the far end of the sofa, much like her first visit is his apartment she felt like a mess. "Is everything okay?" People only told people to sit when they had bad news.
Jason calmly took the seat beside her. "Nothing is wrong but I, I had someone look in to you and something's came to light."
Anna's eyes went wide, he knew, he knew she lied, he knew everything. She felt like the world stopped and she couldn't breathe, oh God no not again, her vision spotted and she tried to breathe.
"Anna, Anna?" Jason moved closer to her and remember what Zacchara had said he grabbed her hand and placed it on his chest. "Breathe."
She could feel his chest move up and down, she focused on the rise and fall, her vision began to clear and her breath began to return. "I'm okay." She whispered.
He smiled and took one of her small hands in his. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean for you react that way."
She looked down to their clasped hands before speaking. "You know, you know everything."
Her tone was so hesitant and soft the ache in his chest came back. "Anna, please look at me." It took a beat before she looked up to him, her eyes misty. "You have nothing to be ashamed of, nothing, you were a child, you should have been protected. Your mother should have protected you, I understand why you lied and it's okay."
Anna blinked up at him as he spoke, he sounded sincere; she knew he was right but she couldn't bring herself believe it, she should have been stronger. "I know that." The response was weak.
"Anna, I don't know everything about what happened but if you want to talk we can." Jason didn't know what to do, what to say, this wasn't a situation he had found himself in before.
She shook her head almost violently. "No, I don't what to. Please just let it go." Talking meant remembering and she didn't want to relive her childhood with him, he couldn't know how broken she was.
"Hey, it's okay, we don't have to." Jason pulled her to him gently and wrapped his arms around her and thought back to that file, maybe he did need to know, but at this moment he needed to take care of her.
Anna leaned in to the embrace, she hadn't been hugged much in her 19 years. She rested her head on his shoulder and relaxed, she didn't know how long they stayed like that but the door to the penthouse opening caused her to pull away, seeing a dark haired man walk in the he owned the place.
"Shit, Jace', didn't know you were busy."
Jason stood to face the door. "Sonny, didn't realize you were stopping by."
"I was in the area. Is this Anna?" Anna look at the man, his dark hair slicked back, olive skin and dark eyes, he looked around her father's age maybe a few years older.
"Anna, this is Sonny Corinthos, Sonny this is Anna." Jason introduced.
She smiled, remembering Carly talking about the man at breakfast. "It's nice to meet you, Mr. Corinthos."
Sonny grinned at the girl, his dimples showing. "It's just Sonny, kid, knowing your father for a long time."
Anna smiled back and nodded, she noticed the clock on the wall and realized they most have lost track of time it was almost 6pm, how long had had they sat not just embracing. "Carly, talked about you at breakfast."
Sonny looked surprised. "Don't believe a word she said."
She laughed. "It was all good things, just stories about you three."
Well it was surprising that Carly had good things to say about Sonny, Jason wasn't surprised he knew that Carly wouldn't go over any of the craziness that had gone on their lives over the years at least not yet. "Did you need something, Sonny?"
"No, Just figured I would drop by. Glad I did though." He replied looking between father and daughter.
