This fic was written one night when Denece and I were both bored. Its inspired by the song You Oughta Know by Alanis Morissette. Specially the line 'Do you ever think of me when you fuck her?' We got so into the fic when finished in like 6 hours. Yeah crazy I know. Its kinda of a tearjerker though.
This takes place back when Jason was guarding Courtney. Sonny never faked his death. Carly and Elizabeth are friends.
We'd like to dedicate this fic to our little sister Javon, who for some reason loves Carly. This is for you girl!

You Oughta Know
Chapter One
Elizabeth looked up as the door to Kelly's opened. She cringed when she saw Courtney walk in. The blonde was not on her list of favorite people. Especially since Jason had started guarding her. In the beginning she believed Jason when he said it was just a job but lately she had begun to have doubts.
The other woman always seemed to need Jason. She called all the time with something only he could handle. When she actually showed up to work the only thing she focused on was what Jason was doing. Elizabeth hated feeling this way but Jason brushed off her concerns, which only made them worse.
"I'm sorry, Jason but I have to go. I'll see you tonight." Courtney said loudly with glee. "Yes, Jason." she said as she looked up to make sure that Elizabeth was listening. "It was great and I can't wait to make love with you again tonight. I'll see you tonight, lover."
Elizabeth stood there trying to fight back the tears. As much as Elizabeth wanted to confront Courtney she didn't think that she'd get an honest answer from her. No. She'd mostly like just get tears and crying. Then Sonny would end up involved... No. The best thing was to just leave. Hopefully Jason would be home and they could talk.
"Penny, I'm through with my shift. Do you need anything before I leave?" Elizabeth asked softly just wanting to get out of there as fast as possible and as far away from Courtney as she could.
"No. I think you handled everything already. I see the princess showed up." Penny replied with an understanding smile.
"And on time too. It's a miracle." Elizabeth retorted.
"I wonder how long until she takes off?" Penny asked.
"With her who knows?" Elizabeth shrugged as she walked out.
"Elizabeth, wait." Courtney called out. "Could you give Jason this? He left it at my place yesterday." she smirked delightfully at the pained look on Elizabeth's face.
Elizabeth looked at the shirt in her hands. It wasn't one of Jason's normal T shirts. This was a button down the kind he only wore when Sonny forced him. On the collar was lipstick Elizabeth was sure didn't belong to her. "Thank you. I'll make sure he gets it." Elizabeth replied calmly before turning and walking out the door head held high.

When she stepped off the elevator Elizabeth didn't go immediately to Jason's penthouse. Instead she knocked on Carly's door. "Hey you. What's wrong?" Carly asked with a smile when she opened the door and saw her friend.
"I know Jason is your best friend but you'd tell me if he was cheating on me right?" Elizabeth asked getting right to the point.
"Of course. Wait. Where is this coming from?" Carly asked with a frown. She knew that Jason loved Elizabeth and that he would die before he hurt her and she especially knew that he would never cheat on her with Courtney of all people. Just the thought of Jason with that incredible hulk made her stomach roll.
"I saw Courtney today." Elizabeth told her.
"Elizabeth..." "She gave me this."
"I'm sure there's an explanation." Carly tried to assure her.
"I want to believe that. Really I do. But Jason barely speaks to me anymore. Ever since he started guarding her." Elizabeth said as she stood and started to pace back and forth, her eyes filling up with tears.
"Let me talk to him. I'll drag what ever it is out of him." Carly offered, seeing the agony that her friend was in and wanting to help anyway she could.
"Thank you. I appreciate it." Elizabeth sighed and then gave Carly a weak smile. She loved Jason with all her heart but, she refused to just sit back and watch while he made a fool of her. If he wanted Courtney than maybe he wasn't the man that she thought he was.
"What are friends for?" Carly smiled.
"I'll talk to you later." Elizabeth said as she walked out the door.
Elizabeth walked across the hall and entered without knocking. Jason was sitting at the desk and when he saw her he smiled. "Hey there. How was work?" he asked.
"The same." she replied with a shrug.
"How about we go for a ride?" Jason suggested with a smile.
"Really?" she asked in surprise.
"Yeah. It's been awhile..." Jason was cut off by his phone ringing. "It's Courtney. I have to take this." "Of course you do. I'll just go upstairs."
"We'll leave when I'm done." Jason assured her before answering his phone.
"Okay." Elizabeth whispered desperately trying not to cry. Maybe Carly was right and nothing was going on between Jason and Courtney. Elizabeth wanted to trust Jason but there were certain things she couldn't ignore anymore. Things like the shirt she still held in her hands.
A soft sob filled the room as Elizabeth's tears broke free. She sat on the bed for a moment crying at the pain and confusion she felt. Something had to change. Starting right now. Elizabeth wiped furiously at her tears. She picked up her duffel and starting stuffing he things in it. She was surprised at how much she had brought to the penthouse. However, it only took her ten minutes to pack.
She grabbed her bags and silently hoped Jason had left. Elizabeth didn't want to fight with him. She couldn't take it if he lied to her. Jason had always been the one person who was honest with her no matter what. Now they could barely speak. Elizabeth sighed knowing this was the right thing to do. That didn't stop her heart breaking into a million pieces.
"What is this?" Jason asked with a frown as he watched Elizabeth come down the stairs with her bags in her hands.
"My bags. I'm leaving." Elizabeth replied firmly, her eyes swollen and red from crying.
"Why?" Jason asked in confusion.
"Are you really asking me that? This is why." she yelled as she threw his shirt at him angrily.
"What does my shirt have to do with you leaving?" Jason asked still not understanding what the fuck was happening.
"Why don't you ask Courtney?" Elizabeth spat furiously.
