Summary: Courtney had nothing to live for, she just existed. But then met a blue eyed man that would change her life, if she'd let him. Very AU idea.
AN: Some of you know me as Romancewriter88, yeah the JaSam fan but I had this idea and I'm writing it. I'm proud to admit I'm an ex journey fan, I had loved them so much and I still do love what they were so here's the story, please review and be honest. Thanks. Also this idea is very different so as you read it'll explain it's self, forget the GH history.
PS: If JaSam fans don't like the fact I'm writing for another couple well to bad, it's my ideas and my time. It's not against the law to write for both and like both.
Broken Blue Eyes
Chapter one
Cry, that was all she did lately. She hated it, cry her self to sleep, cry to wake up, just cry. Courtney Matthews bitterly laughed as she wiped her cheeks. She sat up from the floor and sighed, this was her life. A dark room and tear stained cheeks.
It was a year ago but that didn't change the pain. Now she focused on the same thing that brought the pain; her job. She stood from the floor and washed her face before leaving her home. It was time for work.
Courtney Matthews was a detective for the Port Charles police department. She had once loved her job, she transferred from her home town in Atlantic City because she needed something new. She tracked down her father in Port Charles and they wanted to make up for lost time.
She was happy in her new life with the job she loved.
Until that night came and changed everything.
She closed her eyes once in her car. "Focus, there's a job to be done." She reminded herself before leaving her parking space. She spent every hour she could working then she spent the rest crying and remembering the past. Her empty life now.
"Hey Courtney." Her partner, Lucky Spencer said once she sat at their desk. He was going to ask if she was ok, the pain was obvious in her eyes but he stopped himself. He knew she wasn't ok, or if she'd ever be. She was a friend; he wished he could somehow help her.
"Hey, anything new going on?" Courtney asked.
"It's a slow day but Durant just came in and he's talking with Mac." Lucky answered.
"Great." Courtney flatly said. DA John Durant loved to bust the department's balls; he always complained something wasn't good enough. Courtney could care less. "Do you know what it's about?"
Lucky shook his head no.
Courtney turned around and looked at the closed door where her boss and the DA were talking. She was curious, what she called her deadly flaw in life. Being curious and having a drive to get the job done cost her everything.
The door opened and Durant left the department. Mac looked around the area and settled on Lucky and Courtney. "Spencer and Matthews come in here, I have a new case for you." he said.
Courtney suppressed a sigh. She didn't mind the work but she knew this new case would have Durant's bitching all over it, she would have to follow rules and a time clock, and she hated that. "What's up boss?" she asked once the door was shut again.
"There's been some activity between the Ruiz and Corinthos families. I want you both on this, ask questions, be alert and try and find something that could give Durant answers." Mac explained.
"What are we looking for?" Courtney wanted to know.
"Anything for an arrest. I need to stop this mob war before it begins." Mac expressed. "Right now just interview the main players, get a feel for them. Here's a file with that you need to know." he added and handed the file over to Lucky.
Courtney nodded, it could be worse. For this case she wouldn't have to think too much and put in energy, two things she didn't have much of. Mac excused Lucky but asked to continue to talk with Courtney. "Yeah?" she asked.
"I know it's not my place to ask, you're a hell of a cop but right now you're looking bad Courtney. If you need time off you got it." Mac wanted her to know.
"I don't need time off." Courtney tightly said. "I'm fine I really am." She knew she was looking bad but it was a year ago yesterday, the memories flooded her mind all night, she couldn't turn them off. She knew this whole week would be bad, she waited for it.
"Ok, if you ever need to talk--"
"I know." Courtney cut him off and left the room. She hated closed areas, she hated talking about emotion, and she didn't need anyone to worry for her. She grabbed her jacket and met Lucky outside. He followed her to her car, she always drove. "Where we headed.
The first name was Jason Morgan; Courtney remembered hearing a few things about him. He was Sonny Corinthos' right hand man, the power behind the operation. She drove to Harbor View Towers in silence.
They reached the penthouse, Mr. Morgan opened on the second knock. "Jason Morgan? Detective Spencer and Matthews, we'd like to ask you a few questions." Lucky explained.
Jason sighed, he had been expecting this. He let the two cops in, he hadn't seen them before, this must be Durant's latest attempt to nail him and Sonny, get fresh cops. He knew of Lucky Spencer, Luke's kid but they hadn't met before.
The woman though, Jason didn't know anything of her. He caught a glimpse of her eyes before she looked away. They were intense blue, he recognized pain behind them. Jason didn't understand it but he was very curious about the woman.
