Jason Morgan laid his head against the cool surface of the wood table in the holding room at the Port Charles Police Department. Closing his eyes, he let the events of the past 24 hours wash over him, covering his body with a blanket of insecurity. Outside the door, he knew that Durant was watching him. Being put on display like a caged animal in the zoo only fueled Jason's anger. Even he knew that he was near boiling point, and as he sat alone in the room, he feared that nothing would stop him once he finally did break.

Images of Emily and Sonny flashed through his mind. Betrayal and anger had quickly eclipsed any rationality he still had left. For as long as he could remember, he had been loyal to Sonny. Like a brother, he had stood by him when no one else would or could. Every day, he put his life on the line for Sonny, and he had only ever asked for two things in return. As Jason remembered his sister and best friend together once again, he realized that Sonny had broken both of the promises. And both times, it had caused him his family.

Sam had tried to protect Jason, talking him down from the angry high time and time again. She couldn't understand, and part of Jason knew that. Never seeing Sonny in that state, she didn't realize how bad it could be when he became lost in himself. Only Carly and Jason could handle Sonny at that point, and even then, they had to wait it out. Part of him felt bad for how he had treated Sam, but mostly, he felt betrayed. Betrayed that she had made a decision for him, knowing that it was against his wishes and angry that she had sided with Sonny over him. As he sat alone in the room, he felt like there was no one on his side.

Usually so stoic and reserved, even Jason was surprised at his outbursts over the situation. He had yelled at Emily and Sam, causing them both to break down in tears. Wanting to regret his actions but feeling them to be justified, Jason was confused. The anger and confusion meshed together, resulting in a slow and steady stream of tears. So caught up in his emotions, he did not hear the soft knock on the door.

"Oh, Jase," she whispered as she stood in the doorway.

Jason looked up at her, tears shining in his icy blue eyes. He lifted his hands to wipe them away but the cuffs prevented him from completing the task. Slowly making her way around the table, she brushed them away with her thumb. Still, the tears prevailed as she weaved her way between his cuffed arms. His hands resting on her waist, Jason buried his head into her shoulder. Inhaling the soft scent of lavender, he allowed the tears to fall freely, knowing that she would just let him feel it out. Finally, he gathered himself and pulled back slightly to look into her eyes.

"I don't know what I am going to do, Carly."
