Prologue

Robin put a white shirt over her small bikini top & cut-off shorts. She felt 
Jason's strong warm arms wrap around her waist and smiled. Jason kissed her 
cheek, "You ready?" 

Robin turned around and wrapped her arms around Jason's neck, "Not really." 

Jason groaned, "Robin, come on. This might be good for us." 

Robin laughed, "Yeah, right, going on a boat ride with you and Carly is a great 
idea!" 

"This way we can really talk, Robin. You, Carly, and me. We could work this 
out." Jason explained once again. 

"Jason," Robin hit him playfully, "You’re going to be alone on a boat with me 
and Carly. We can't stand to live in the same apartment together and now you 
want us to co-habit on an even smaller place." 

Jason sighed, "Robin, it's only for a couple of hours and we might even solve 
our problem." Jason was the one trying to look at the positive side of things. 

Robin kissed him and let out a sigh, "All right, I will go through this stupid 
thing like you want me too." 

Jason kissed her on the cheek, "Thank you so much!" 

"Yeah. Yeah." Robin smiled and kissed him again. 

Carly sat in disgust looking at Jason with his arm around Robin. Carly felt like 
throwing up over the side of the boat. She occasionally even put her mouth to 
her face trying to hold back her sickness. They were so in love. God she hated 
Robin! Jason finally had the boat driver stop the boat so he that they could 
talk. As Jason and Robin brought up different possible ideas Carly constantly 
shook her head. They kept talk around for hours but then Robin brought up an 
idea which included Michael staying with Jason and Carly visiting Michael! After 
Carly picked up her jaw she screamed, "Who the hell do you think you are?! 
You’re not going to take my son away from me!" 
Jason stood quickly, "No! Carly, that wasn't an idea, ok? Robin was just trying 
to think of something. I mean you haven't even tried to think of something the 
whole time we've been out here." Jason was so unhappy being planted in the 
middle but he put himself there when he let Robin move in. When he took Robin 
back he stepped right in the middle. 

Carly couldn't believe this, "Jason, listen to yourself! Like I have any 
choice!! In the end you and little miss perfect over there will have to make the 
final decision!! You are kidding yourself if you think I have any say in all of 
this!!!" Carly had a tear fall but she was so mad at Jason for doing this that 
she didn't feel it. 

Jason hated to see Carly cry about anything. Her face was so expressive when she 
was hurt you could tell. Jason stood and stepped closer to her, "We're sorry, 
Carly we didn't mean to upset you." 

Carly laughed, "Yeah." 

Jason pinched the arch of his nose and then asked, "What do you want to do?" 

Carly shrugged and her voice rose again, "I don't know, Jason! I don't know what 
to do about this whole situation but I do know one thing! I want off this boat 
now! I want off!" Carly hated this whole trip. She left behind the one person 
she loved that loved her back in Port Charles when she went off to the Bahamas 
with Robin and Jason. Jason actually thought that they could have fun. Who would 
have thought that Jason could be so blind? Jason and Robin stayed in one hotel 
while Carly stayed in the room next to them how pathetic is that!? Carly could 
hear them laugh and giggle at night and it killed her. She would imagine what 
they were doing the thought of Jason's hands on Robin made Carly sent chills 
down her spin. Robin was such a little nimrod. What could he possibly see in 
Robin. 

Jason nodded, "Ok, Carly. I'll have Rick bring us back to shore." Jason grinned 
pathetically and got up to talk to their boat driver. 

Robin had watched Carly do this everyday since she got back. As soon as Carly 
shed a tear Jason ran to her side and tried to fix it. Robin stood quickly as 
soon as Jason was out of sight, "You stupid, conniving…" Robin stomped her foot, 
"Why do you do that to him?!" 

They were at the back of the boat and Jason was at the front end talking to 
their captain. Carly wanted to take Robin by the neck and squeeze until Robin 
changed colors. Carly jumped up, "Do that to him!? What about everything he's 
done to me?!" 

Robin shouted, "Do you ever think about anybody but yourself?!" 

"Yes! Michael and Jason! I think about them all the time and you are trying to 
take them away from me! You’re the conniving one!" Carly argued with fury in her 
eyes. 

"I am not conniving!" Robin said and tried to walk away. 

Carly wasn't ready to let the conversation go. She grabbed Robin's wrist tightly 
and swiftly. Robin spun around and out of impulse pushed Carly. Carly fell off 
the back the boat and tried to grab on to something as she fell causing her to 
hit her head before sinking to the bottom. Robin was seeing it and standing in 
place in disbelief. Robin walked to the back of the boat and looked down in to 
the boat. She watched as Carly's blond hair faded more and more as she sunk. 
Robin's eyes widen and Jason came around the corner, "Ok, guys, Rick says we'll 
leave in a few min…" He didn't see Carly and saw Robin staring at the water. 
Jason ran to her, "Where's Carly?!" Robin didn't reply she just pointed to the 
water. Jason started to remove his shirt, "Tell Rick not to go anywhere!" Robin 
wouldn't move so he screamed again, "Robin! Go!!" Jason dove into the water. He 
looked under water but didn't see Carly anywhere. The water just got deeper and 
darker as he went down. 

Robin warned Rick and ran back to the end of the boat. She didn't see Jason, 
"Jason!" She screamed in fear, "Jason!!!" 

Jason came up for air, "Carly!" He burst out and was so frustrated that he 
didn't see her and that he couldn't get to her fast enough. She could die within 
seconds but he still had the assurance that she could swim to the top if she had 
to until he saw the blood on the back of the boat, "Oh no." Jason whispered and 
then began to scream again, "Carly!!!" Jason said and went back underwater. 
Robin's worry was just kicking in her soul mate was risking his life for another
woman what was wrong with this picture. Jason stayed under for a little too long 
and Robin couldn't take it anymore so she jumped in too. 

After Rick called for help and Jason searched in the water for hours they 
stopped looking for the night. Jason stared at the water for hours waiting for 
Carly to come up and say she was ok. To tell him she was kidding or playing with 
him but she never came up and her body was never found. Jason sat in the hotel 
room staring at the floor. Robin tried to say something to him every minute but 
just couldn't think of anything. He had hurt Carly the last seconds of her life. 
What was he going to tell Michael? What was he going to do period? How could he 
raise Michael without Carly? Carly was gone. She was dead. Even if they found 
her body she would have still drowned. He had made Carly's last moments living 
horrible. What the heck was he thinking… bringing Robin and Carly on the same 
trip. They hated each other and  didn't try to hide it. Carly made it obvious 
that she despised Robin. Jason rubbed the back of his neck and tried to imagine 
what Carly could possibly have been thinking when she was drowning. Robin had 
told Carly just kind of fell but Jason was so preoccupied with other thoughts he 
didn't ask for more description. Jason felt like he lost something more than 
just a friend or bodyguard. Robin tried to hug him but he pushed her away, 
"Robin, please, don't." 

"Jason, talk to me." Robin begged. 

Jason grinned slightly, "Do you know that I used to get so sick of her sob 
stories." He shook his head and looked back at the ocean, "I'd do anything to 
hear one of her stories right now. Just one. I would love to have her crying on 
my shoulder boring me with one of her stupid problems but she'll never do that 
again." Jason looked back at Robin, "I took her for granted. I treated her like 
she was… I yelled at her and made her feel really stupid sometimes just to make 
myself feel better. If it wasn't for me she might have been a little happier. If 
it wasn't for me she wouldn't have even been near that ocean or on that boat." 

Robin started to speak over him, "Jason, you made her life even better…" 

Jason cut her off, "Don't try to speak for Carly, ok, Robin? You’re not her. You 
can't tell me what she felt or thought. "He took the key to Carly's hotel room, 
"I'm going to sleep in her room tonight. "Jason walked out and over to Carly's 
hotel room. He entered and sighed out of relief. He couldn't deal with Robin 
right now. He saw two pictures on Carly's nightstand one of Jason and Michael & 
one of Carly and Bobbie. They had taken the picture after Carly came back. Jason 
sat on Carly's bed and picked up the picture of Carly with Bobbie. He looked 
down at it and his tears fell onto the glass that covered the picture. Come to 
think of it that was probably the last time he saw her smile. She was so 
depressed and unhappy before she died that he was beginning to forget the 
wonderful sexy giggle she had or the grin she'd give him when she wanted to 
thank him. Jason knew right then he had been with Robin for all the wrong 
reasons and the woman he should have been with had passed him by. 

Jason walked into the penthouse and Robin went to Brenda's. Jason told her he 
wanted to be alone for awhile to think. When he entered he saw Bobbie sitting 
with Lucas on the couch. They were laughing and smiling. Bobbie and Carly had 
gained a wonderful relationship. They acted like mother and daughter. Imagine 
that. Whenever Carly even hinted she was happy it was when she was with Bobbie 
or Michael. 

Bobbie giggled and looked up to see Jason. She quickly stood and straightens her 
clothes. She waited for Carly to walk through the door but she never did. Bobbie 
frowned, "Where's Carly?" 

Jason smiled at Lucas, "Hey buddy could you go upstairs to check on Michael?" 

"Sure, Jason." Lucas replied and ran upstairs. 

Bobbie could feel herself getting more and more worried, "Where's Carly?" She 
repeated. 

Jason made a sad face, "She's gone." Jason said and tears filled his red puffy 
eyes yet again. 

Bobbie started to shiver a little, "What do you mean gone?" 

Jason stepped a little closer to Bobbie, "We were on this boat and she fell in 
and she drowned." 

Bobbie's mouth dropped and she felt like someone just ripped her heart out of 
her chest. She sobbed loudly, "No!!!" She howled and fell to ground, "Not 
Carly!" She screamed, "Not my daughter!!!" Jason knelt to Bobbie trying to think 
of something to say but nothing he could say would help this. 

Lucas came down the stairs with a smile but it faded when he saw his Mom crying 
so loud and so much. He ran to her, "Mommy!" 

Bobbie lifted her head, "Lucas." She stuttered and grabbed him. 

"What happened, Mommy?" Lucas asked. 

Bobbie put a hand over her mouth to try and muffle her sobs a little. She 
brought her hand down and told him, "Carly's gone, Baby. She died." 

Lucas began to cry and said, "No!" Lucas had just about the same reaction Bobbie 
did. They all cried in sync and repeating no. Carly had left a broken hearted 
family behind. 

Jason asked Robin to keep her distance as he tried to cope with Carly's death. 
Today was the day of the ceremony they were holding in memory of Carly. Bobbie 
and Lucas were staying with Jason for right now. Trying to cope with Carly's 
departure. They had no body so they had to blow up a picture of Carly and place 
it in the front of the church. There was a rose reef around the picture it. 
Jason stood in front of the picture looking at Carly's sweet smile and not 
remembering one bad thing she did. He only saw the Carly he knew personally. The 
one he knew and cared about. Bobbie walked in with Lucas, Luke, and Michael. 
Bobbie walked up to Jason and they shared an embrace. Luke and Lucas sat. Bobbie 
handed Michael to Jason and then sat next to them. Jason held Michael and they 
faced the picture of Carly. Jason started to whisper to Michael, “She was 
beautiful wasn't she Michael. I know this hard for you seeing everybody you love 
and care about sad. Then the added fact that Carly's never coming back. She'd 
really hate to see all of us sad Michael. She really would." Jason let Michael 
look at the picture one last time before handing Michael to Bobbie. Jason lifted 
his head and sees Robin enter. Bobbie looked angry to see Robin there.

Jason walked up to her, "Why are you here?" 

Robin's eyes widen, "For you." 

"Now's not the time!" Jason said speaking lowly at first but his voice rose. He 
cleared his throat and walked Robin out into the hall, "You shouldn't be here." 

"Jason, I just wanted to know if you’re ok." 

"Go away." Jason snapped. 

Robin felt hurt by his sudden hate towards her, "Why are acting like this?" 

"Because the woman I loved is gone!" Jason blurted out but regretted it, "I'm 
sorry. I didn't mean for it to come out like that." 

"You're in love with a dead woman?" Robin choked. 

"Yes, I loved Carly. I'm sorry but I don't want to see you again." Jason said 
and tried to enter the room again. 

Robin grabbed his arm, "No!" She moaned, "How could you love her? Why would you 
love her? She's dead, Jason! "Robin shouted, "She's gone and the world's a lot 
better off!" 

Bobbie heard Robin's words handed Luke Michael and rushed out to Robin, "Who do 
you think you are?!" Bobbie yelled with tears, "How dare you come to my 
daughter's funeral and still keep up this holier than thou act! My daughter may 
not have been perfect but she didn't look down on anybody!" 

Robin stepped to Bobbie, "That's because she couldn't. She was lower than 
anyone. I understand why Tony hated her so much. Finally I understand." 

Bobbie used everything she had to smack Robin hard across the face. Robin's face 
unwantingly shifted to the side, "Get the hell out of here, Robin! You're not 
wanted." 

Robin stomped out of the church and both Jason & Bobbie were even angrier to see 
the next guests arrive. Bobbie laughed slightly, "What are they doing here?!" 
Bobbie was growing fed up with everything happening today it was horrible. 
Edward, A.J, Lila, Emily, Alan, Monica, and Ned walked in.

Bobbie crossed her arms and Jason spoke first, "I only invited Ned, Emily, 
Monica, and Lila. What are you doing here Edward? Or A.J.? Or Alan?!" 

"I felt horrible hearing about that poor little girl. "Edward stated. 

Jason wanted to hurt Edward right then but Bobbie stopped him. Bobbie cleared 
her throat, "Emily, Lila, Monica, Ned please feel free to go in." 

They nodded and entered. A.J., Edward, and Alan stood there. Alan stood there 
looking doped up like he did everyday. Jason had Johnny escort Alan and Edward 
out. Edward hrmphed his way out. A.J. stayed in there. A.J. looked really sad, 
"Jase, please, don't kick us out." 

Jason didn't want to think the worst of A.J. but knew he couldn't trust him, "I 
want you to get out of here." 

A.J. sighed, "Do you think she would’ve wanted you to kick us out." 

"First don't ever talk about her like you knew her. Second Carly trusted and you 
used it against her so I won't allow you to be here. Now get out." 

A.J. turned to Bobbie, "Say something." 

Bobbie shook her head, "No I agree with him. You should go away." 

A.J. peered into the church, "I guess I'll have to say goodbye another time. 
"A.J. put a smile on his face and left. Bobbie and Jason walked back into the 
church and the ceremony began.
