Okay…so before I start this next chapter I just want to say, before I get sued, that I only own Audrey and Noah and whoever else I bring in who isn't a cast member…nothing and no one else…and I also want to thank the few people who have reviewed…they were all really nice and they all made me smile! So thank you! NOW…on with the next chapter!
"Jason, Audrey is your daughter." Jason and Sam were shocked. "Oh, my God," Sam didn't know what else to say. Jason looked up at Audrey. "Audrey, I…" "I told you!" She stormed out and Jason ran out after her. Sam was left alone wondering how this was all going to play out.
Jason ran down the hall trying to catch up with Audrey. "Audrey! Just wait!" "Why should I? Huh? All I want to do was meet you and I have. Now you can go back to your normal life in the mob…with your tramp." "Leave Sam out of this. I'm your father. You came to Port Charles to find me. Why wouldn't you want a relationship with me?" "Look at what you do. Look at where you live. When I pictured my father, I pictured a boring accountant with a nice house with a porch and a garage. Not a hit man with a bulletproof penthouse. I have been left and let down too many times in my life and I won't go through it again." He noticed the tears in her eyes and the pain in her voice and his heart broke a little. "Audrey, I'm not like all the other people in your life. And yes, I have a dangerous job, but so far nothing has happened to me. I'm good at it, and while I'm not invincible, I'm the closest thing to it. I'm your father and I know we just found out and I know that I just met you but I love you and I will protect you with me life."
"I don't need you to protect me! I've been doing fine taking care of myself. When my mom couldn't help me, I learned to defend myself. I even learned to fight off her husband when he would…" She stopped, kicking herself for almost letting what happened with her step-father slip. Jason didn't like the sound of that. "When he would what?" "Nothing, never mind." She didn't want to relive or even think about what that pig did to her. She had gotten past it but she knew that Jason wasn't going to let it go. "Audrey, what did he do to you? Did he hurt you somehow? If he hurt you then I will…" "HE RAPED ME, okay? For years, he would come into my room after beating my mom and he would rape me. I finally stopped him." She was letting her tears fall loosely now. She had never admitted that to anyone. But in a way it felt good to confide in her father.
"Audrey," "I trusted him. He was my father for basically my whole life and he betrayed me. How do you expect me to trust you?" His heart was breaking for his daughter. "I'm not going to force you to have a relationship with me if you're not comfortable. But I'm not him. I would never to anything to hurt you or make you cry. You came all this way to find me, and you did. Don't waste your effort. Just think about it." She nodded. She knew all ready that he was telling the truth. He wouldn't do anything to hurt her. "I will. It'll just take some time. But I have to go. Bye Jason." With that, she turned around and walked away. Leaving Jason fuming over what her step-father had done.
He pulled out his cell phone and called Noah. "Find out who Karen Wexler was married too. If it was multiple people I want the list and pictures of each guy. I'm gonna kill the son of a bitch." He hung up and went back to find Sam. He found her sitting in the waiting room, staring off into space. She was probably just as shocked as he was. Now came telling everybody that he had a daughter.
Audrey went to the docks after she left the hospital. She was a mess. She was crying and positive that she had a solid stream of mascara running down her face. This wasn't how their reunion was supposed to go. Lost in her own thoughts, she didn't notice a guy sit down on the bench next to her. She jumped when she finally noticed him. "There are plenty of benches to sit on. You don't have to fill one up before you can use another one." She felt bad for snapping at the guy but she wasn't in a good mood. He apologized. "You looked upset and I was just wondering if I could help. I'm Daniel." He stuck his hand out for her to shake. She looked at his hand, suspiciously before shaking it. "I'm Audrey. And I just found something out. I just need to get my mind off of it." "I can help you." "You don't even know me. Why would you want to help me?" She didn't trust this guy, but if he could take her mind off of Jason and Sam and her step-father she was willing to give it a try.
"There's a little bar, called Jake's not too far from here. I would be happy to accompany you there." She took a second before agreeing. A little alcohol would be nice to get her mind off of everything and just let loose. As soon as they walk into Jake's, Daniel goes to the bar and orders them two shots. He walked over to the bar and offered her one of the shots. Instead of just taking one, Audrey took both and downed them. "Well you really must have had a hard day." She nodded and he went back to the bar for two more shots and two bottles of beer.
It didn't take long for Audrey to be annihilated. "I am having such a great time with you!" "That's good. How about another drink?" She perked up at his question. "That is a great idea! You…you go get that and I'm gonna go dance." Daniel smiled to himself as he walked away. This is almost too easy. He thought as he got to the bar. Little did he know that Jason had Audrey followed for her safety.
Noah walked over to Audrey and gently pulled her into the corner. "Noah! Hey!" "Hey, Audrey. What are you doing?" "Having fun." She said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. "Yeah, yeah I can see that but aren't you having a little too much fun? Audrey, you aren't even 21." "So…no one cares! The bartender doesn't care, my date doesn't care, I don't care!" Noah gently grabbed Audrey's elbow, trying to direct her through the crowd. "Audrey, I have been instructed to take you back to your father's penthouse." At the word penthouse Audrey ripped her arm out of Noah's grasp.
"Are you kidding me? You…you work for my dad?" She felt tears stinging the back of her eyes. Noah, the guy that had taken her breath away worked for her father. She couldn't believe it. "Yes, I work for Jason. And no, I'm not kidding you. We have to go." "Get the hell away from me!" Daniel walked up now, after hearing Audrey yelling. "What's going on here? Is everything okay?" "My dad sent guards to spy on me. Tell my dad to go to hell. Let's go Daniel." She took Daniel by the arm and started walking upstairs. Noah hung his head. He didn't know that the Audrey that he met on the docks was Jason's daughter. He had wanted to find her again, to get to know her. Now he would never get the chance. Jason would never let him near his daughter.
He shook the thoughts from his head as he ran after her. "Audrey, I was given strict orders to bring you to Jason immediately." She whipped around. She was still breathtaking, even when she was drunk and a mess. "I am not going anywhere with you. I am on a date and I am not done with my date!" "Yes you are." Noah picked her up and started carrying her to the car. "Noah! Noah, put me down! This is unbelievable!" "Put her down man!" "Stand back sir. We have to get her home." "The stupid penthouse is NOT my home! Can I at least say goodbye to him, Noah." He stopped and thought about it. "Make it fast. And don't try anything."
"I am so sorry about this, Daniel." "Yeah, I had fun with you. We should, uh, do this again sometime." And as quickly as he could, Daniel turned around and walked away. "And I'll never see him again." She turned around and looked at Noah. "Thanks a lot." They got in the limo and took off towards Harborview Towers.
Audrey was fuming by the time they got there. Noah had to run to keep up with her. He knew it was going to be ugly when she cam face to face with Jason. They walked into the penthouse and she let out blood curdling screams for Jason. "Jason! Jase…" "Yeah." He walked down the stairs. He took in her appearance and shook his head. Her clothes were disheveled and her hair was a mess. She would definitely be embarrassed when she sobered up a little.
"How could you do that to me! What the hell were you thinking? I told you that you have no control in my life! You ruined my date!" He was lucky that he didn't have any neighbors or they would have called the police at how loud she was yelling. He calmly began talking to her. "Your date took you to a scummy bar and was shoving drinks down your throat. He only wanted one ting." "Yeah and if I hadn't wanted the same thing…I would have said no. I made all my own decisions tonight. I decided to go to the bar. I decided to drink. And I would have decided whether it went any further." She was a typical rape victim. She was now throwing herself into bed with all these guys to try and control what happened to her. "What if he didn't let you decide? What if he made the decision for you?"
She had tears running down her cheeks. "You are to go nowhere near him again and from now on, Marco is to be with you at all times." "The hell he is! I am nineteen and I'm gonna go out and have fun and, yeah, maybe even drink. And you can't stop me." "I am your father, and I have eyes everywhere. I can stop you." "Ugh! This is unbelievable! I never should have looked for you!" She stormed off, leaving Jason there feeling the power of the words she said.
