I've never posted a fanfic on here, so if I do something wrong, please bear with me! I don't own any of these characters, blah, blah, blah…
Courtney Mathews Quartermaine came through the door of her apartment which she shared with her husband AJ. It wasn't much but they managed. Outside it continued to pour, the deafening sound of thunder could be heard and blinding flashes of light could be seen. The apartment was dim, the only light given was from candles that had been lit. She also noticed the red rose petals spread throughout the room and on the table where a dinner had been set. There was a note set in the middle of the table, she picked it up and read it to herself.
Courtney,
This is to our first Valentine's Day together. I love you.
AJ
"And hopefully our last" she thought to herself. She hated him, he wasn't her husband, maybe leagally, but not in her heart. Her heart belonged to another. He had betrayed her time and time again, but she had refused to believe what everyone had said. She didn't mean to fall into the arms of another, it was something that just happened, at a very vunerable point in time, when her 'loving husband' was no where to be found. Courtney later found he was paying off her ex-boss to stalk her, and instead of running to AJ, she ran to his brother Jason, who was the only one she ever felt that safe with. AJ had come home one day and found them together, angry, he left for several days before returning when she claimed she had ended things with him and told him she loved him and not Jason. The truth was she hadn't, and only chose to stay with AJ because he threatened to tell her brother & Jason's boss, Sonny Corinthos, that they were having an affair behind his back. He also threatened to testify against Jason in his murder trial. But they had now found evidence that Jason was not guilty and he was cleared of all charges. She would now have to either tell Sonny about their affair herself or stay married to AJ to keep his mouth shut.
"Hey beautiful" she cringed at his voice, she turned, he had come from the bedroom, forcing a smile she replied "hey…I can't believe you did this…for me" he came closer and put his hands on her arms "of course, you are my wife" she was disgusted with his touch, it made her want to hurl. He went to plant a kiss on her cheek and he pulled away, he paused, then nodded and said "So…let us eat" "well, um, let me go clean up first okay?" She would do anything to get away from him right now, she felt miserable and needed to at least feel a little better before she had to play the loving wife role.
While in the bathroom there was a loud thunder followed by a flash of light, which took her by surprise. She got an eerie feeling, she wanted Jason right now, not AJ.
AJ was looking around the apartment when he too heard the thunder and saw the flash of light, the candles eerily blew out after the window flew open and as he went to get the light switch, he noticed a taller form standing in the doorway of the bedroom "Courtney?" Another flash of light came across the room and he got a glimpse of the intruder, his cold eyes burning into him, "Jason" he said with disgust. "You aren't going to hurt her anymore…" the next flash came and the only thing AJ noticed this time was the gun that was pointed at him.
Oh my love…please don't cry,
I'll wash my bloody hands, and,
We'll start a new life…
Courtney brought a tissue to her cheek, wiping away the black marks left from her mascara, but she froze when several shots were heard.
I ripped out, his throat,
And called you on the telephone,
To take off, my disguise,
Just in time to hear you cry,
When you,
You mourn the death of your bloody valentine,
The night he died
She could barely see anything, her hand went to the wall and reached for the switch, light filled the room and her gaze fell upon her husband, on the floor in a pool of his own blood. "Courtney" she jumped when a hand touched her shoulder "GET AWAY FROM ME!" "Courtney! It's me! It's me!" she recognized the voice and turned around "Jason!" she fell into his arms and after a few seconds he pulled away "we need to get out of here" a realization sunk in as he looked into her eyes, she looked back at AJ and then returned to him "I couldn't let him hurt you anymore, I love you Courtney, I love you, he was going to kill you tonight" she gave a confused expression "what?" "I'll explain it to you later, we just need to get out of here"
You mourn the death,
Of your bloody valentine,
One last time,
Singin',
Oh my love,
Please don't cry,
I'll wash my bloody hands and,
We'll start a new life,
I don't know much at all,
I don't know wrong from right,
All I know is,
That I love you tonight
"But Jason…" "come on…" He killed him, and the police were sure to come soon, she shook her head and took his hand as they climbed out the bedroom onto the fire escape.
There was police and,
Flashy lights,
The rain came down so hard that night
The faint sound of sirens could be heard, he jumped down at the last flight and put his arms up to catch her, she jumped and she waited for his signal. The sirens got louder as her heart was pounding harder, they saw the lights and he motioned for her to turn around and head to the other side of the alley.
And the,
Headlines read,
A lover died,
No tale tell heart was left to find,
When you,
You mourn the death,
Of your bloody valentine,
The night he died,
They made it to his motorcycle and he handed her a helmet as they climbed on, she barely had any time to put it on, much less tie it before he sped off into the lone streets out of Port Charles.
You mourn the death,
Of your bloody valentine,
One last time,
Singin',
Oh my love,
Please don't cry,
I'll wash my bloody hands, and,
We'll start a new life,
I don't know much at all,
I don't know wrong from right,
All I know is that I love you tonight
She held on tight to his leather jacket, the rain felt like bullets on her ungloved hands. She couldn't look back, but she no longer heard any sirens, relieved that they got out just in time. They were leaving Port Charles, the place she had called home for some time now, tears fell down her face, she didn't know what was in store for them, she was quite confused really, what did Jason mean when he said he was going to kill her tonight?
He dropped you off,
I followed him home,
Then I , stood outside his bedroom window,
Standing over him,
He begged me not to do,
What I knew,
I had to do,
Cause I'm so in love with you,
Oh my love,
Please don't cry,
I'll wash my bloody hands and,
We'll start a new life,
I don't know much at all,
I don't know wrong from right,
All I know is that I love you tonight,
Tonight…
