A/N: Just wanted to let you know that the time line is kindda messed up,
but I needed it for the story. Cara Mia, don't worry I know that they can't
act on those feelings (jailbait), it will be a looooooooooong time before
they become romantically involved. But I just wanted for them to have the
strong feelings from the first time they met. The sexual tension will be
the main thing for this story, along with the intense connection we all
love. Thank you for your reviews ( for this and All over again) Hope all of
you enjoy the next chapters. This is not one of my best chapters but hope
you enjoy it... Please read and review!

Chapter 3: Breakup, lost and found. . .
Early 1998...
Jason Morgan. The man she was in love with. The man she knew she had lost when she told him what she had done. The light in his eyes disappeared in a blink and disappointment and hurt drowned his blue orbs. She never doubted her decision, not until she looked into his eyes. She knew things would never be the same between them, she knew it was over. So here she was standing in the very same place they had met. Their special place. But this time she was going to say goodbye. Goodbye to everything she ever wanted, to everything she ever needed, to the man she loved. Jason Morgan.
Robin... the first person she saw when he woke up. The only person who ever knew how he really felt. She had betrayed him. She had taken the only thing more important than her in his life; his son. That little baby had become his life. He never knew he had paternal instincts, but Michael had come barging into his life needing him and loving him unconditionally. Robin had taught him about love, but Michael had made those four letters mean so much more.
He had experienced pain before, but the anticipation of losing the woman he loved and his son at the same time was a concept he couldn't start to grasp. But then he thought it over. The woman who stood in front of him and told him how she had betrayed him, wasn't the woman he had fallen in love with. As much as it pained him, he had to let her go. He had to say good bye and focus his energy in getting Michael's sole custody. He had to let her go, he had to let her go even when she was taking a piece of his heart with her.
He rode his motorcycle up the cliff towards the bridge. He parked the bike and walked up. Then he saw her, a petite woman looking towards the black, endless night. Just like the first time they met. It was some what ironic that they both had come to here to say good bye.
She didn't looked back as she heard the motor roar die into the silence of the night. He knew it was him, and her heart was crying as much as her eyes, because she knew he had come to say good bye. Life had a funny way of snicking up on you when you least expect it. He walked up to her and stood for a minute, she gather her strength and spoke without looking at him.
" I just came here to say goodbye. So much happened in this place. I just had to see it one last time before I let it go. Do you remember that night? "
She turned to face him and was faced with cold eyes and a stonelike expression.
" I remember everything, Robin. That was my life-- what I learned from Sonny, and loving you. Til Michael."
" I didn't do it to take Michael away from you. You know that. You know me. "
"It's just like after the accident. When I woke up, you were the first person I ever saw. But I didn't know you. And I don't now. I came to say good-bye, too. You taught me that, just like you taught me to love. You gave me everything good I have inside. And now I have it to give to Michael. I will always owe you for that. "
His voice almost broke. He never imagined he was going to standing there saying good bye to her.
"You gave me a lot, too."
"And I never wanted you to go before. But I do now. It'll be much easier when you're in Paris. And it'll be a lot easier if I never see your face again. "
The little bit of hope she had left extinguished at his words. It was really over.
" So this is it. Goodbye, Jason. I hope everything works out for you." She started her way down the cliff wanting to get away from him as fast as possible.
He stood there, his back towards her, while a tear fell down his face. " Goodbye, Robin."

Elizabeth came home from school to find a letter from Robin Scorpio waiting for her in the coffee table. She had been feeling sad all week, but Robin's letters usually helped her keep her demons away at least for a little while. Elizabeth went upstairs and changed into her bathing suit. She ran downstairs and picked the letter and went to sit by the pool in the back of the house. As she opened the letter she remembered the night she met the other girl. Elizabeth was about to do something stupid and Robin had stopped her.
~*~ *~ *~ " You came here to end you're life, didn't you?... My first boyfriend...He died...am HIV positive...You have to be grateful you're alive and healthy. You have you're whole life ahead of you." ~*~ *~ *~
She talked her out of ending her life and made her realize that she wasn't alone. Robin had lost someone very important to her and she had survived the pain. Elizabeth had to learn how to deal with such great loss. For the last two years Elizabeth had decided that if life had given her lemons she had to make lemonade. The only problem was learning how. It was difficult at first, because she only knew how to be bad ass Lizzie Webber. But with time she had become more comfortable with her own skin and in school she had found a couple of girls that were really nice to her. She was still struggling with her nightmares and those really bad days when the pain was too much to bare. But thanks to Robin Scorpio and her love for life, Elizabeth was starting to feel like life was worth living.
Elizabeth started to read and by the third sentence knew something wasn't right. Then she realized why her friend seemed out of it. She had broken up with her boyfriend Jason, again. They had broken up a year ago when Robin found out that he was having a baby with another woman. But they had gotten back together. They had ups and downs in their relationship but were always very much in love. Elizabeth remembered the day before they met. Jason and Robin had a big fight, because Robin thought his job was interfering with their relationship. . .
~*~ *~ *~ Elizabeth was sitting in the chaise longue drinking some lemonade while Robin finished getting ready. She had call early in the morning and Robin had sent her driver to pick her up so they could spend the day together. She had arrived to the luxurious suite and had been waiting for half an hour when she heard the door of the room open with a loud bang and she heard the end of the heated discussion. " This was suppose to be about us... for us. I don't understand why you're doing this. You knew I had work to do." " Yes I did. You are right as always. That's exactly why I asked her here. She needs someone to talk to, and I was tire of looking at this beautiful place and not being able to enjoy it. Now we both will have what we wanted. You'll be able to work without having to worry about me and I might enjoy myself for a change, instead of having to worry about you being ok." Robin walked out of the room as she cleaned a loose tear that ran down her face. As she got closer to where Elizabeth was waiting she draw a smile on her face. Jason called to her but Robin completely ignored him. ~*~ *~ *~
As soon as they got back to New York things went back to normal. But now it seems Jason was getting comfortable with the mother of his child again. And his job was becoming his number one priority. Robin was coming and going because of school and they hardly had time alone, just for them. That was when Robin felt the need to tell the truth she had been hiding for a long time. Jason wasn't Michael's real father. Some guy name AJ Quatermaine, who turned out to be Jason's brother was the baby's biological father.
Elizabeth finished the letter and stared ahead to the calmed water in the pool. A couple of months before, Jason Morgan had been back to the island with the baby. She had spotted him on the beach with a little boy. The baby was the cutest little thing with bright red hair. He seemed at ease with the kid. Not as tensed and serious as he seemed when they first met. Elizabeth remembered watching him from afar, hiding almost so the man wouldn't see her. Now she felt stupid thinking about it, there was no reason for him to remember her at all.
She had remembered him... who wouldn't have. He was the most handsome and arrogant man she had ever met. He had treat her cold and distant, but she got chills when she remembered her first bike ride. The wind rushed by her as if carrying her along. She felt as if the wind was going to take her away forever. Thinking about it, those were the only 10 minutes she had managed to forget about her pain. She'd been longing for a ride ever since Jason rode away from the house. But she knew she wasn't going to get a chance to ride on a motorcycle again. Well not until she find the perfect motorcycle boy to take her away forever. Someone caring and kind, who would protect her and listen to her. She needed someone that would give her the world but who would risk everything to just be with her. She wanted someone she could trust. Definitely someone completely opposite to Jason Morgan.
Thinking about it she couldn't really connect the man in leather and jeans that was so rude to her with the dad she had seeing playing in the water with the baby. She never could've guess that Jason wasn't Michael's real father. This whole situation must have been difficult for all of the people involved in the matter. The truth was bound to come out sooner or later. But this fallout must've left everyone dumbfounded. Robin was heart broken, Jason might loose his soon forever, who knew what the mother of the kid might go through. And she had lost her only chance of a real friendship, now that Robin had decided to go back to Paris.
~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~
Month's later...
Jason had lost everything. The judge had ruled join custody, but after what went down between him and AJ, there was no way he could ever see Michael again. He had lost control and he had thrown, kicked and broken Michael's things. Michael should never see him loose control like that ever again he just would get confused. So he just gave him away. It was the only thing he could do for his son. Because Michael will always be his son even if he couldn't see him grow. He would treasure the time he spend with him.
" Mr. Morgan. Please fasten your seatbelt. We're about to land in San Juan, PR."
The voice of the pilot brought him out of his meditations. He had a lot of work to do. There were problems in the territory. A couple of dealers were found dead in their districts. Jason had to investigate who killed them and why they were trying to frame Sonny's men. He also had to take care of the Casino. Work... that was all he had to do. Work night and day, day and night and maybe he would stop aching inside.
Elizabeth was waiting outside of school for her driver to come pick her up. But she was also waiting to see the hottie. For the last couple of weeks a cute guy had been standing in the curb looking intently at her. She had decided to talk to him today, but he was nowhere to be found. When she walked a few feet away from the gate she found him wearing a leather jacket and leaning on a motorcycle. " Oh boy! This raises the stakes. Hot and a biker, I think I found exactly what I was looking for."
Lizzie Webber had been itching to come out ever since the last weekend when her mother had called her to remind her of the commemoration. As if she could ever forget. This was it she had to go out meet new people. Meet boys and have a good time. Elizabeth made her way towards the young man with a sexy grin on her face.
The limousine pulled up on the driveway of a beautiful two-stories mansion. Sonny had insisted on buying the house so they would have a place to stay outside of the hotel suites. Jason was ok staying on a rented studio or something, but Sonny wouldn't take no for an answer. So here he was, standing in front of his new house. He took his key to open the door, but someone beat him to it. The double oak doors opened to reveal an older woman. She looked to be on her sixties, subtle white adorning her otherwise black hair. She had a dress on and an apron over it. With a big smile she addressed Jason.
" Hola, señor."
" Hola. Usted habla inglés?" ( Hello, do you speak english?)
" Si. I speak english." She answered in a thick spanish accent.
" Good. Because I speak spanish but is not that good."
" You'll learn. My name is Teresa. I am the maid."
" Don't refer to yourself as the maid, and don't call me señor. My name is Jason. Jason morgan."
" It's nice to meet you Mr. Jason Morgan. Now come in." She moved and lead him inside.
They walked into some kind of foyer. He let his bag in the floor as he looked around. A big arch divided the foyer and the rest of the house. Teresa walked a little more into the room and Jason followed. There he found a grand staircase that came down in both sides of the room. Straight ahead he could see the landscape. Glass sliding doors and wall adorned a small sitting area. Outside a balcony and the beach almost as a garden. Down three steps was to the left was the diningroom.
" The kitchen is to the left down those steps and the garage is that way." She said signaling to their right where a door was almost hidden. " I'll take you to your room, now."
She went to pick up his bag but he stopped her.
" I'll take it don't worry. It's too heavy."
" Are the rest of your things coming later?"
" No this is all I brought. I travel light."
" But you're staying a while aren't you?"
" Yes."
The woman couldn't read his expression, but immediately knew that he was a man of little words. As she made her way up the stairs, with Jason hot on her heals. She asked him what he wanted to eat for dinner.
" Nothing. I have to go to the Casino to day. I'll eat something there."
~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~
Latter that night...
Elizabeth walked down the stairs dressed to kill. Grace watched as the young girl made her way down and frowned at the thought. She was going out with a man. A Portorrican man. She didn't know what made her more nervous. The guy seemed older and she knew Elizabeth wasn't ready to start dating. She didn't have anything against Portorricans but this one in particular seemed dangerous.
" What do you think? How do I look?"
Grace took in Elizabeth's appearance and shook her head. She was wearing a tight black dress and black stilettos. Her hair was down and in beautiful ringlets around her face. Her make up was smokey on the eyes and her lips were bright passion red.
" What's wrong?"
" It's just you look older."
" That was what I was going for."
" Why?"
" Just because." She grabbed her purse from the couch. A loud horn came from a car parked outside. "He was here! Why didn't you tell me he was waiting outside?"
" It slipped my mind. Elizabeth, please be careful."
" I will. Don't worry about me." She said as she ran out the door.
There was nothing Jason hated more than wearing a suit. And here he was dressed in a suit and walking straight in to the lion bin. The Casino was full of prominent people, future investors and highrollers of the organization, not the kind of company he appreciated. But this was his job and he had to do it. Besides most of this people were here tonight to meet him and see with their own eyes who was Sonny Corinthos right hand man. He just wished tonight went smoothly and he could get this over with. He breathed deeply and walked inside.
Elizabeth felt out of place. She had accepted his invitation blindly and was now paying the price. He had taken her to the S&S Casino. She was obviously underage so he had brought her a fake ID. She didn't know what to do or say around this people. There were mostly older people here and Tony had left her standing there while he went to talk to someone outside. A waiter passed by her and offered her a glass of wine. She took it, at least to pretend to be part of the in crowd.
Jason was walking around, checking the tables and as they say mingling with the Highrollers. He was tire of seeing the same faces smiling and rending him false compliments. He was on his way to the back office when suddenly he found himself crashing into someone.
Elizabeth turned to look for Tony, she was bored to death and wanted to get out of there. She never saw him coming until it was too late. Her wine ended up all over his suit.
" Oh my God! Am so sorry. I didn't see you coming."
" That much I could tell." Jason was pissed. He was already dreading the place and now this. Wait a minute, wasn't this a good thing. Yes. Now he had a reason for leaving early. He looked up ready to apologize to the woman but instead found blue.
Elizabeth was about to say something, but when she looked up to him was awestruck. It was him. What was he doing there? Would he recognize her? Of course not. She just had to make her way out of there as soon as possible.
It was her. But wait a minute wasn't she a minor. What the hell was she doing there. He looked at her again. This time from head to toe. And dressed like that. She tried to walk passed him but he stopped her, grabbing her elbow.
" Elizabeth? Elizabeth Webber?"
Holly shit! He remembered.

She didn't know what to do or say around this people. There were mostly older people here and Tony had left her standing there while he went to talk to someone outside. A waiter passed by her and offered her a glass of wine. She took it, at least to pretend to be part of the in crowd.
Jason was walking around, checking the tables and as they say mingling with the Highrollers. He was tire of seeing the same faces smiling and rending him false compliments. He was on his way to the back office when suddenly he found himself crashing into someone.
Elizabeth turned to look for Tony, she was bored to death and wanted to get out of there. She never saw him coming until it was too late. Her wine ended up all over his suit.
" Oh my God! Am so sorry. I didn't see you coming."
" That much I could tell." Jason was pissed. He was already dreading the place and now this. Wait a minute, wasn't this a good thing. Yes. Now he had a reason for leaving early. He looked up ready to apologize to the woman but instead found blue.
Elizabeth was about to say something, but when she looked up to him was awestruck. It was him. What was he doing there? Would he recognize her? Of course not. She just had to make her way out of there as soon as possible.
It was her. But wait a minute wasn't she a minor. What the hell was she doing there. He looked at her again. This time from head to toe. And dressed like that. She tried to walk passed him but he stopped her, grabbing her elbow.
" Elizabeth? Elizabeth Webber?"
Holly shit! He remembered.
