He cut all ties with Courtney, signed the divorce papers, and through her back out into the dark empty world. Leaving her unprotected. That was Jason's biggest mistake. Courtney runs away with a broken heart, but a deadly threat is chasing right after her. She needs help...and soon. If only there were such thing as a1-800-Jason-Help-me number...
Hello Journey buddies! It's me yet again with another Journey Fanfic, this idea has been with me for awhile and I'm just excited to get it started. Okay so this story takes place right after Jason sign's the divorce paper's (When he found out that Courtney had knocked him out to save Alcazar).
Okay...I hope this story sounds interesting...LOL I don't want to give to much away from the story. Now I present to you reader's...(Drum roll please...LOL) Chapter one of 1-800-Jason-Help-Me...
Chapter 1
Cold...numb...empty...empty...that was probaby the best word to describe her. Empty. Like there was nothing left inside of her to hold on to, no more hopes, no more dreams...and there was derfinitly no more Jason.
Jason...just even seeing the name tore her heart to pieces all over again, she couldn't push him out of her mind no matter how hard she tried. Maybe she wasn't doing it right...but how do you let go of the person who was your everthing? How can you move on with your life when images and memories of what you've shared keep role playing in your head, making your heart swell up all over again. How do you ignore these images...these feelings that you get? Truth be told, Courtney really didn't want to let go of their relationship, she wasn't ready to face her life without him. He...was her life.
She stared up at the white cieling from her bed...not moving...just staring...she could still hear his voice...she can see the pain and anger that grew within his eyes...she could...she could even still picture the way his hand moved with the pen when he signed the papers. The papers that announced to the world that they wre no longer Jason and Courtney Morgan...the papers that announced that there was no future with them as one in it...the papers that brought Courtney's life falling all around her...the divorce papers.
She let out a shallow breath...tears clouded her eyes...it's been 4 days and 14 hours and 15 miniutes since ...She couldn't bring herself to reality about the whole situation, the days drag by slowly since their break up. She heard the door to her loft open softly, followed by a loud click of it being closed, knowing full well who the person was just by the sounds of their steps, she gave them a small smile.
"Carly..." Tears clouded her vision as she reached her arms out to her best friend...her sister in law, she hasn't seen Carly since that night...
Carly immedantly rushed to her side and engulfed her in a hug, tears falling from her cheeks as well. She had never seen Courtney look so pale...so depressed...her heart broke for her, as she held her even tighter. "I've missed you so much Courtney...I tried to come as soon as I found out but...Sonny...he...well...-"
"It's o.k Carly...I know that you tried," Courtney pulled from her embrace slowly, and quickly wiped the tears from her eyes. "Sonny hates me...-"
Carly shook her head, "No Courtney...Sonny doesn't hate you...he's just being stubborn...a total idiot!" She paced around the room. "How could he-they do this to you?-I still don't understand that...you don't deserve any of this Courtney, men are idiots!" She heard Courtney chuckle, and slowly walked up towards her and sat down on the bed right next to her. "Courtney...honey don't do this-" She gesterd her arms around the dark room, " to yourself, you need to get up and walk around, or do something besides locking yourself in this room."
She swallowed a lump in her throat, kept her gaze settled on the ground. "How...Carly...how do I...how do I move on without him?" She whisperd in a meek voice, holding back the tears that were threating to fall.
Carly placed a gentle hand on her friends fragile form. "I'm going to be honest with you hunnie, its not going to be easy, its going to be hard...not just for you but for Jason too, Your both hurting right now, and trying to figure out where to go from here. But you know how you can start..." She waited until Courtney met her gaze. "You can start by getting out of this bed, and coming out to my club with me."
"Carly...I really don't feel like-"
"Courtney...please you have to start somewhere, you can't let them keep pushing you around and making you feel all upset all the time. You need to show them that your going be be fine without them..."
"You got into an argument with them didn't you?"
Carly shrugged, "So what if we did have a little disagreement? I know that what you did Courtney was out of love," She placed her hand gently on Courtneys shoulder, "I also know then when you saved Alcasar's life from Jason...you thought only of Jason and his future, Courtney I believe you did the right thing." She stared right into Courtneys eyes, as Courtney gave her a small smile. "By the way...how did you know that I got into an argument with Sonny? Am I that obvious?"
"Oh Carly..." She managed another chuckle "You never change..."
"Sonny and I had our share of words, and I really don't feel like heading back their for awhile yet, anyway I'm not going to sit around and watch them pick you to pieces. Your my best friend, and I'm here for you...now hurry up and get ready so we can go."
Courtney smiled at her eagerness as she got up to reached into her drawer and pulled out a pair of jeans, she was in the mist of pulling out a sweater from her drawer when she heard Carly clear her voice loudly...several times. She smiled, "Is there something wrong Carly?" she quickly pulled out the blue sweater from her drawer, knowing full well what Carly was clearing her voice for.
"O.k I'm just going to come right out and say it... you can wear the jeans their nice and a bit flairy anyway but the top...Courtney do I have to take you out shopping again? Here" Carly rushed towards the drawer and quickly pulled out a black halter top. "There that will look much better. Now get dressed."
Courtney laughed as she went to the bathroom, after changing into her clothes she ran a bush through her soft blonde hair, washed up, and put just a touch a make up on her face. She opened the door to the bathroom. "O.k Carly I'm all set and-" She paused. "Carly?"
"Yeah I'm right here Court, I just saw thia slip through your door" She handed her the the white envlope with her name in the center of it. There was no returning address. "What does it say?"
"I don't know yet," She couldn't help but feel a bit nervous as she tore open the envelope, she then pulled out a single piece of paper. Her mouth went dry, as she read the first couple of lines to herself, "Oh God Please..." her voice trembled as she quickly crumpled the paper into a ball, she slowly paced the room, images filling her head. She could still hear the mixtures of anger in their voices, a crackle of laughs in the background...and crying...she remember crying...begging for them to stop...none was listening to her...none.
"Courtney...is everything alright?" she gently laid her hand on her shoulder.
"Carly...do you mind putting this off for another night? I mean could we go to the club tomorrow nigt or something?" She noticed her friend's worried expression. "I'm fine really Carly, I just need some time to myself to think..."
She nodded her head slowly, "I understand, but if you need to talk to me about anything or if you just need me-"
"Carly...Thank you for everything if I do need to see you I'll call but right now I just need to be alone for the moment," She watched as Carly headed towards the door, "Carly..." She watched her friend turn to face her. "Thank you for being here for me, your a sister that I never had, I really appreciate all that you have done for me."
Carly nodded her head, "Your like a sister to me to Court, and don't thank me for anything thats what sisters are for." She smiled as she opened and left the loft. She couldn't help the shaky feeling that something was wrong with Courtney...it was something in the letter...her mind continued to drift as she headed to the hospital see if she could talk her mother into going to the club with her.
Courtney sat on the bed...unable to hide her fear, she knew what could happen to her. She knew what these people were capable of, but she didn't know how to fight them. She never did, she was always trying to avoid them...fought to keep herself hidden but they always found her. She was safe when she had her mob brother and his enforcer's protection, even they knew that. Now that she didn't have them...anymore, she knew she was heading into dangerous ground and she needed help...and fast. She never wanted to go through that again...she didn't want to live in that fear anymore. Before she knew what she was doing she grab her coat and purse from the couch and ran outside, and kept a good pace as her destination came into view. She needed him now...but will he help her?
