A Tale of Two Jasons

A General Hospital Fan Fiction written By Stef with a F

Disclaimers

I am not involved with the writing the General Hospital in anyway. I'm just a fan. General Hospital is the property of ABC, which is the property of Disney. The beginning of the story is based on something that happened back in the winter of 1996, while the later parts are roughly based on something that happened in the current year. In fact, I really recommend any reader to read the scene about the "accident" which can be found at:

Because the first part begins right before the accident. The recap can be skipped, because I do provide some support to the old story, but the link helps.

Chapter 1: The Accident, Slightly Different

The Alternate Port Charles: 1996

Drunk, AJ Quartermaine fled the scene during a fight at his family's mansion. Worried, his half brother Jason left only a few moments later.

"Oh, this looks like a great ride!" AJ shouted at a distance in regard to his cousin-in-law, Lois's car. And AJ jumped into the car.

In the distance, Jason screamed, "AJ! Get out of that car, you can't drive, you're drunk!"

But, of course, AJ did not listen, so instead, Jason jumped in the car with AJ. AJ went toward the ignition to turn the car on, but Jason would not allow the car to move. He pressed his foot as hard as he could on the break then reached for the keys and burrowed them out of AJ's hand. He then proceeded to throw the keys as far as he could.

"What in the hell?!?" AJ demanded from Jason.

Angry, Jason, returned with, "What in the hell?!? What in the HELLL?!? I can't believe that you are asking me that question AJ! What are you trying to do? Kill yourself?"

"Uh…Maybe!" AJ answered, "Dad sure as hell wouldn't care!"

"Oh, you know that's not true, We all love you, Mom, Dad, Grandmother, Grandfather, Emily, even Ned", Jason said.

"Oh yeah, sure, well, I'll just have to find myself another car to drive", and he began to leave, "In fact, Lois's keys must be somewhere…"

"Oh, no you won't!" Jason said in an ensuring tone, "You are not driving anywhere, but I will take you somewhere if you like…Come on AJ…I love you…".

Jason just stood there staring at AJ, waiting for some type of answer. AJ considered Jason's offer, but started to walk away instead.

To that, Jason just simply stepped in front of AJ and simply said, "Stop!"

Jason was at his wit's end, didn't know what else to do. The fear in Jason's eyes was obvious. The scene was a silent one for a while, and that was a good thing. Then the silence suddenly stopped…

"AJ?" Jason said in an almost pleading but a more acknowledging tone.

"Okay", AJ said, it was all he said.

"Okay", Jason said in a relieved tone.

Ned Ashton, their cousin, heard their yelling and entered the scene, like it was his business or something.

"What's going on?!?" Ned said, "You're aren't going to drive Junior, are you?!? All, our family needs is for you to get another DUI, and right after Monica's cancer scare, and her best friend Paige's death. That's just like you AJ, thinking only about yourself…and furthermore…"

"No!" Jason answered before AJ could say anything and giving Ned the 'shut the hell up look'; "AJ and I are going on a little trip to cool off, we'll be back in the morning. Oh and by the way, Lois's keys are somewhere…sorry about that. But most importantly…if mom or dad asks, 'We're okay', alright?"

"Okay, where are you going?" Ned asked.

"Like it's any of your business, Ned!" AJ said.

"Uh, Let's go AJ, and don't worry Ned", Jason answered, without actually answering Ned at all.

So the two brothers left the scene. Jason, with AJ following, went into the main garage, where then both entered Jason's Porsche. Jason was the one in the driver's seat.

While driving, Jason thought about places to go the lake? Kelly's? The docks? Still, undecided, Jason just went driving. Meanwhile AJ was resting in the back.

"Go ahead, AJ", Jason said. "Sleep it off".

"So, where are we going anyway, Jase?"

"Well, a few places, first of all the cabin. We can talk and you can get some rest. Then I would like for you to attend an AA meeting or something. AJ, you really need help, no offense, but you do, I am serious. Not trying to be mean…"

"Jase", AJ began.

"Please AJ, don't, you need to start to take care of yourself and now".

So, they left for the cabin, the cabin where Karen and Jagger almost made love the first time. On the way there, they picked up Brenda, who was just roaming the docks area. Apparently, Sonny wasn't treating her right, yet again.

Jason told Brenda bits and pieces of what they were doing, and she agreed to keep it quiet. The continued toward their quest until they reached this damaged bridge. Someone damaged the bridge; therefore, when the trio reached the center of the bridge, the Porsche plunged into the water, and into a whirlpool.

The next day…at the mansion…

"Ned, have you seen AJ and Jason?" asked Monica.

"Yeah, Last night, both of them", Ned said. "You guys were fighting again, weren't you? Well, anyway, Jason wanted me to tell you that they were going to go on a little trip and that they would be back in the morning. So they should be back soon. Oh, and Jason also told me to tell you not to worry".

Three Years later, at an alternate Port Charles.

"Oh, Carly, you remember the first time, I admired your perfume?" asked AJ as he cuddled up to his beautiful wife.

"Oh yeah", giggled Carly, "The day we conceived Michael!"

"I wished that I remembered more of that night, said AJ, "and that that night meant more than comforting lust. In a way, it did, for on that night, I knew I loved you. No woman actually loved me, it's sad really, but it was unfortunately true. I hate to say this, but if I didn't "kill" my brother, I wouldn't have the two most wonderful people in my life right now. We wouldn't have our son".

"Oh, AJ, I'm sorry for all those things I did to you, " said Carly; "I should've realized that while I was fighting to be with Tony, and when I fell so deeply for Jason, you were the only man who truly loved me. Jason loved me as a friend, and so did you, but I blew it, and you loved me as a woman as well. Anyway let's forget the old memories and focus on the new".

"Yeah, I can buy into that!" smiled AJ.

1 Meanwhile, right outside their window…

Crash!!!!

"What in the hell was that, AJ?!?" asked a scared Carly.

"I don't know", said AJ extending his arm to hug his shaken wife, "Most likely Alexis, sneaking out of Ned's room". AJ, chuckled a little, but it was a joke, he knew that wasn't the correct answer.

So, after giving his wife a sweet little peck on the lips he stuck a peek out the window where he saw something unbelievable…a crashed Porsche front end first, vertically crashed into the ground. He ran outside and received another shock. He recognized the passengers: Jason and the "dead" Brenda.
