~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jenna walked along the docks on her way back from Kelly's; it had been three months since she had moved to Port Charles. She loved it here, she had her brother back and she loved Carly the two of them had very quickly became the best of friends talking about everything. Carly had even helped Jenna escape the bodyguard Sonny had put on her when she needed space. Sonny had placed a guard on her the moment her divorced had been filed and the phone calls started.
"So you think divorcing me is going to be that easy do you" Jenna heard from the darkness.
'Oh god' Jenna thought her heart pounding with fear. She had once again ditched Joey so she could have some time to herself. Joey was never intrusive and stayed back out of her sight it was just the fact she knew he was there watching her every move. Now she wished she had heeded her brother's warning.
"Alex, what are you doing here?" she asked spinning around to confront him.
Alex glared at her wanting to smash her face in for daring to leave him, "Well my beautiful wife, I came here to take you back where you belong"
"I'm not going anywhere with you, and if you try to force me you'll have more trouble then you ever dreamed of" Jenna said raising her chin in defiance.
"From who your blond hero, are you in love with him, I bet you jumped in the sack with him the second you left Hammonton" Alex growled shoving her roughly up against the wall.
"LEAVE ME ALONE" Jenna screamed bracing herself for the slap she knew was coming.
"I'm your husband you bitch, you never tell me what to do" Alex yelled slapping her repeatedly.
Jenna felt the pain streak through her head when he decided slapping her wasn't enough and landed one well-rounded punch to the side of her head.
Alex was in a blind rage, she had seen that look in his eyes before and knew she was about to die and if she didn't she would wish she had. "SOMEBODY HELP ME"
"I'm gonna teach you a lesson bitch" Alex said ripping her shirt from her body.
Mike Corbin hearing a woman's cry for help began to run in the direction of the sound. Once there he looked in shock as his daughter was hit again and again. Seeing the fear in his daughter's eyes he sprang into action tackling the man who dared to touch Jenna.
"You son of a bitch," Mike hollered punching the man squarely in the jaw.
Jen watched as her protector continued to hit her ex. It was dark and she couldn't see who it was, all she knew was that somebody had heard her and came to help. 'Thank you god' she thought praying silently as she sank to the ground.
Mike feeling the man stop struggling stopped punching him and felt for a pulse, thankfully it was still beating strongly. Moving to his daughter's side where she was huddled against the wall he took her in his arms. "Jenna it's alright daddy's here" he whispered holding her close one arm while pulling out his cell phone with the other. "Sonny, get down to dock F your sister's been attacked" he said when he heard his son answer with his normal "Yes"
"Is she alright?" Sonny asked his voice rising in fear.
"She will be, bring Carly and a shirt for your sister."
"Who attacked her, please tell me he didn't get away" Sonny said calming down once he knew she would be all right.
"I don't know let me ask your sister if she knows him"
"It's Alex" Jen whispered sobbing as she clung to her father.
"I heard her, call the PCPD she has a restraining order against him" Sonny ordered as if he was talking to one of his men.
Sonny hung up the phone and called for Carly as he opened the door and told called for Jason who was across just stepping off the elevator.
"What's up Sonny" Jason asked smiling at his best friend.
"Mike just called, he's down at F dock with Jen, Alex attacked her" Sonny said grabbing his coat as Carly came into the room.
"Oh my god is she alright"
"Mike says she'll be fine but he wants you to come with us and to bring Jen a new shirt," Sonny said running a hand through his hair.
Jason waited until Carly was out of sight and looked at her, "Did he rape her" Jason asked his face tight with emotion.
"Mike didn't say, I think he may have tried if she needs a new shirt"
"Where the hell was Joey"
"I have no idea, but I intend to find out"
"I know your busy but from now on I would feel better if either you or Johnny were with my sister when she goes out, she won't try and loose you."
"How do you know that?"
"Because she trusts you she has from day one"
"You got it," Jason said as Carly came back into the room carrying a complete change of clothes Jen had left when she moved into the Penthouse down the hall.
"Let's go" Sonny said helping his wife on with her coat.
Meanwhile, Mike soothed his trembling daughter, "Honey it's alright he's not going to hurt you" Mike whispered placing a soft kiss on her head.
"Daddy…he was going to… he was going to…"Jenna whispered unable to say the words.
"Sweetheart, I need you to look at me so I can check the cut on your face" Mike said gently pulling back from her as they heard the sirens get closer.
"Step away from the girl," an officer said pointing his weapon at Mike.
"It's not me you're looking for you idiot, it's him. I'm the one that called the police." Mike said slightly annoyed.
"This is my father, that's my ex-husband. I have a restraining order against him."
"Ma'am I'm Detective Taggert, are you alright?" Marcus asked coming up to them.
"I'm fine can you please tell this idiot to stop pointing a weapon at my father who was the one that saved me."
"Daniels get this punk out of here" Taggert said pointing to Alex.
"Yes, Detective"
"Miss. Stephens can you tell me what happened?" Detective Taggert asked as Mike helped Jen stand.
"I was coming back from Kelly's and I decided to take a walk on the docks, I didn't hear anyone following me and then Alex said something, he was standing over there in the shadows. He grabbed me and slammed me up against the wall and started hitting me. Then he ripped my shirt off, I screamed and the next thing I know Alex was ripped off of me." Jen said as Sonny, Jason and Carly came running up.
Taggert looked at the three people who had just come "What did he say to you"
"He said "So you think divorcing me is going to be that easy" I then asked him what he was doing here in Port Charles" Jen whispered glancing at both Sonny and Jason.
"What did he say?" Taggert asked hoping Sonny would do something stupid so he could arrest him for interfering in a police investigation.
"He told me he was here to take me back where I belong, I told him I wasn't going anywhere with him and if he tried to force me he would have more trouble then he wanted."
"Were you threatening him with your brother?" Taggert asked raising an eyebrow.
"Detective Taggert, I don't need Michael to fight my battles for me, it was your job to protect me and you failed to do so. If I remember correctly Alex has a restraining order that prevents him from stepping foot into Port Charles unless it's for our divorce hearing, which is three weeks away. You failed to do your job and in failing to do so I got hurt and nearly raped you'll be lucky if I don't sue the entire PCPD. Unless you want that to happen I suggest you leave my brother alone" Jenna said vehemently.
Sonny and Jason smiled at each other, Jenna had changed since she had been in Port Charles, gone was the timid and scared woman who Jason had first brought her home and in her place was a strong and willful woman who wasn't afraid to speak her mind.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to insinuate anything, I just had to ask. Just a few more questions and your free to go. What happened after you told him that?"
"Alex hit me and told me I was never to tell him what to do, that he was my husband. I screamed for help and he told me he was going to teach me a lesson and ripped off my shirt, that is when my father showed up," Jenna said leaving out the part about Jason not wanting him to know.
"Do you want to press charges?"
"Of course I do detective, do I look stupid to you?"
"Very well you'll have to come down to the station and file a formal complaint. I would get that gash above your eye checked out at General Hospital," he suggested turning to go as they hauled Alex off.
"I'll be at the police station shortly,"
Sonny waited till Taggert rounded the corner before stepping up to his sister. "You ditched Joey again didn't you?" he asked quietly.
"Unfortunately yes" Jen said looking down as she clutched Mike's jacket around her shoulders.
"Why?" Jason asked.
"I just don't trust him, he makes me feel strange. I mean I know it's his job to keep his eye on me, but even when he's off duty he's watching me."
"Would you feel better if it was me who was protecting you?" Jason asked quietly knowing he was opening a can of worms.
"Yes I would" Jen said looking up at him.
"It's settled then, until your out of danger Jason will be with you and now that we know Alex is town that means 24 hours a day and when Jason is busy Johnny will be with you"
Jen looked over at Sonny and took a deep breath, "I don't think it's necessary for him to be with me every second of everyday, I don't think much can happen in the penthouse."
"I'm not taking any chances, I don't trust your ex-husband" Sonny said gently.
"Here sweetie, I brought you some clothes," Carly said interrupting the argument that was about to ensue.
"Thank you"
"Why don't we go to Kelly's and you can change there?"
"Let's go then ladies" Jason said smiling.
"You going to come into the bathroom with me too?" Jen asked teasing as they walked away from Sonny and Michael.
"No I think you be safe enough with me standing outside the door." Jason said laughing.
"But Michael said I'm not to be out of your site unless Johnny is with me"
"Very funny" Jason said as they walked into Kelly's.
As soon as they walked through the door Bobbie looked up, "Oh Jen what happened to you."
"You go change I'll fill my mom in" Carly said quietly as Jen walked to the bathroom while Jason kept a watchful eye on her.
Jen walked into the woman's room and took of Mike's coat, she still hadn't thanked him for saving her. She had still been refusing to see him because she was afraid of what she would say. Things were getting more complicated by the minute. She didn't know how she was going to handle having Jason around her all the time. Every time she had seen her attraction for him grew. Jason didn't talk much about his past but what she had learned from Carly made her feel closer to him. Sure he had grown up with a privileged life but after his accident he had turned his back on his family and started a new life, she couldn't understand that. All she wanted growing up was to have her family back and here he had walked out on his. Maybe this time together would get him to open up to her. She wanted to find out what the real Jason Morgan was like. Shaking her head she quickly changed clothes and walked out to find Bobbie waiting for her with a first aid kit.
"Come here Jenna, I want to take a look at that cut"
"It's nothing, it doesn't even hurt much," Jen said smiling at her.
"That's good, but I still wanna take a look" Bobbie said with a no argument tone.
Bobbie expertly looked Jen over and was just finishing putting a bandage on the cut when Sonny and Mike walked through the door.
"Is she alright?" Mike asked Bobby concern showing in his voice.
"She'll be fine, I suspect her to have one hell of a headache in a little while, but other than that she doesn't have anything that won't heal. Your lucky Mike was nearby" Bobby said turning to Jen with a gentle smile.
"I know, I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't heard me scream." Jen said looking up at her father with tears in her eyes.
"Your safe that is all that matter's" Mike said pulling his daughter into his arms.
"Jen we better head over to the police station and fill out that report." Jason said a few minutes later.
"Do you think we could meet for lunch tomorrow?" Jen asked her father quietly.
"Of course we can, why don't we meet here at 1:00" Mike suggested.
"I was uhh…thinking that maybe you could come over to the penthouse and we could talk there?"
"That would be great, I'll see you at 1:00 then" Mike said smiling as Jen walked over and kissed her father on the cheek.
"Don't worry Michael, I'm going to be fine" Jen said as Sonny hugged her close to him.
"I know you are, because you'll be with Jason" Sonny said quietly. When he found Joey the man was going to get it. He put his sister in danger by not reporting she had lost him. If he had Alex would never gotten close enough to even yell her name let alone touch her.
Jen and Jason walked out of Kelly's in silence. Once outside Jen turned to Jason and smiled. "Jason I'm sorry, I know the last thing you want to be doing is babysitting a grown woman." She said quietly.
"Hey, I don't look at it as babysitting, I look at it as an opportunity"
"An opportunity?" Jen asked as they made their way to Jason's bike.
"Yes an opportunity to get to know each other better, I mean you have been here for three months and we have barely seen each other, I mean we've had dinner together what twice but that's it." Jason said rambling nervously. For the last three months Carly had been dropping hints that he should get to know Jenna better this was the perfect excuse to do that.
"Are you suggesting we get to know each other without Michael and Carly present?" Jen said trying not to laugh.
"I mean if you don't want to, that's alright, I just thought…"
Jen took a step closer to Jason and touched one perfectly manicured finger to his lips. "I would love to, I was just trying to make sure I heard you correctly."
"You heard correctly, let's get this stuff at the police department out of the way and we can start. How about we start by stopping and picking up a couple of movies?"
"Sounds like a good idea to me" Jen said smiling to herself as she got on the bike and wrapped her arms around Jason's waist. She couldn't wait till they were back at her penthouse.
