FINDING COURTNEY
I can be your hero baby...
"LEAVE ME ALONE! STAY AWAY!" Courtney screamed into the inclement darkness. "I'M YOUR BOYFRIEND, I DON'T HAVE TO" A.J. screamed. She ran down a hill and into a forest. She could hear his murderous steps now, he was getting even closer. She continued to run, screaming for help the whole way. The blue-eyed man was taking a walk through the woods. He could hear her cries. "COURTNEY! COME BACK TO ME!" A.J. screamed, sounding more insane than a movie villain did. The blue-eyed man searched out the woman who needed his help. Courtney turned to see how close He was behind her. When she turned back around and before she knew what was going on, she tripped over a root and fell, hitting her head on a half buried flat rock, knocking her unconscious. Jason and A.J. stumbled onto the scene at the same time. Jason started to pick Courtney up and A.J. started to scream. "GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY GIRL!" "Uh, dude, I don't think she wants to be with you." He said. A.J. tried to hit him, but in his drunken stupor he missed. The weight of his aimless fist knocked him to the ground. Jason used this opportunity to throw Courtney over his shoulder and run like hell.
The sun will come out tomorrow.
Courtney's eyes fluttered open. She sat up with a start. "Oh god, where am I!?!" she screamed. Jason sat up. He let her have the bed while he slept on the couch. "Hey, calm down! I found you in the woods last night running from some guy. You were unconscious so I brought you back here" he said quickly. She looked around. "Where is here?" she asked. "This is my dorm. Port Charles university." He said with a smile. She sat a minute when it finally dawned on her. "Who am I?" she muttered softly. "What? You don't remember anything?" he asked standing up and sitting next to her. "no. God I don't even know my name!" she started to sob then, and Jason, not even having to think about it, took her sob-wracked body into his arms. "Your name is Courtney." He said then. "How do you know?" she asked. "That guy was screaming at you. I think he was going to hurt you." He said, trying not to upset her anymore. A faint memory of a soft, warm woman's voice played in her mind. Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday Dear Courtney, Happy Birthday to you "yeah, my name is Courtney. But what's you're name?" she said. He felt foolish. "Oh man, I'm so sorry, my name is Jason. And we need to take you to the hospital." He said standing up and extending a hand. "No, I am not going to the hospital I'm fine, I just need an Ibuprofen." she said, putting a hand over her forehead. "You hit your head hard, you've lost your memory, you need to go to a hospital." He said taking her hand. "I will not!" she said more firmly. "Courtney, you're hurt, let me take you to the hospital." He said. "NO! if you bring it up again, I'll just leave!" she said. He shut up then. "O.K. do you want to try and figure out who you are?" he asked. "Well, yeah but I don't want to go to the cops. Why don't we see if I'm enrolled here?" she said. "That's a good idea." He said. He waited for her to take a shower and get around and then he did the same. They sat down on the bed for a moment. "Why do you trust me? You don't even know who I am." He finally said. "Well, you give off a good vibe. And right now you're pretty much my only hope." She said putting her hand on his shoulder. "OK, how about we go to the office to see if you're here." He said. She followed him out the door and they walked shoulder to shoulder, getting to know one another. "Here we are Courtney." He said opening the door to the office for her. "Thanks Jase. son Jason." She said, realizing the nickname she had used. He nodded with his penetrating smile. They walked in together and she rang the little bell at the desk. "Hello, how can I help you two?" she asked. "Well we need to see the enrollment lists If that's alright." He said politely. "Well sir, there is a binder in the lobby over there and you can look all you want." She said, charmed by him. "Thank you very much Ma'am." he said with a smile and a wink he went to the lobby to get the binder and Courtney waited at the desk for him to come back. "You oughta hang on to him girl, he's a keeper!" The secretary said with her strong southern drawl. "Oh, we're not going out, we're just friends." She said with a reassuring nod. "Like it isn't written all over your face. Now I know it isn't my business, but you two for sure have chemistry, I know how to spot these things." She said tapping her glasses and smiling. Courtney kind of bit her lip smiling some. "Do you really think so?" she asked. The kind woman nodded. Just then Jason walked back in. "There are 24 Courtney's that go to this school." He said. "Well let me look at the names." She said. That sat down very close together and looked over them. "Courtney Abbot, Courtney Anderson, Courtney Bruce, Courtney Clark, Courtney Donaldson, Courtney Davis, Courtney Donovon, Courtney Fisher, Courtney Fines, Courtney Gregory, Courtney Johnson, Courtney Lynch, Courtney Lowenstein, Courtney Matthews.
