Homecoming Ch. 3

"SONNY!!!! JASON!!!!!" Carly stormed into the penthouse screaming. She ran up the stairs, screaming the entire way. She had to find them; none of the guards knew where they were.

In the lower level of the penthouse Sonny and Jason entered with concern written all over their faces.

"CARLY!!!!" Sonny yelled for her, the fear evident in his voice.

Carly flew down the stairs and ran towards Sonny. "My god Sonny it's awful." Carly's worlds became garbled as she started breathing fast.

Jason and Sonny were both at her side begging her to calm down because the excitement was bad for the baby.

When she finally calmed down Sonny asked her what was wrong, preparing himself for the worse. Carly looked at Jason and the despair was so clear in his eyes. She looked into those eyes and softly spoke the words she knew Jason feared the most. "Courtney is gone."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Courtney switched buses, she traveled using a different name, she wanted so badly to not be found. She needed to disappear, she wasn't even sure why. She was scared that they would come looking for her. She was also scared that they wouldn't, though she hadn't admitted it to herself.

She settled herself on the next bus not sure where she was going, she just needed to further away. She just wondered when she would finally be far enough away. She closed her eyes and tried to think about how she would start over, but all she could think about was Jason. She turned toward the window and wondered what he was doing now. Was he thinking about her?
