Loving Betrayal

The stranger stopped, returning his gun to his trench coat pocket. Jaime held back a frustrated scream, attempting to remain indifferent at the hit mans inability to complete his task. The read head glared in his direction as he came to her side, grasping her fore arms and roughly pulling her to his chest.

"What the hell are you doing?" Jaime whispered, trying to shove the man away, only to have him pull her closer.

"Your sisters orders" The man replied simply, molding their two forms. The red heads eyes widened, filling with tears, as a sharp blade enter her stomach. The man twisted it deeper, watching as she bit her lip to hold in a scream.

"She said it would be a good way to get her message across" The stranger commented flippantly, observing the woman squirm painfully when he pulled the knife out. The blood-covered blade fell by their feet, the scene going unnoticed by the staff. With a final stroke of Jaime's hair, the attacker lowered her body to the ground, her frail form all but disappearing beneath the plastic chairs. Blood began to flow more rapidly from her wound and onto the tiled floor.

Squatting to her level, he drew Jaime's eyes upwards.

"Angel says you know what to do" He stated calmly, rising and rushing towards the nurses' desk to act like a concerned citizen.

Sonny and Carly stepped off the elevator, noticing the nurses and doctors that crowded the waiting room. Michael looked up at his parents, tugging on his mothers coat to get her attention. Carly lifted the boy off the ground, despite his protests, shielding his eyes, as a stretcher went by.  Carly fought back the urge to vomit at the sight of Jamie's unconscious and bloody body, positioned on the moving stretcher.

"Mommy what is it? Where's Uncle Jason?" The little boy inquired impatiently, squirming until he was set down.

"Uncle Jason's room is just up over there, why don't we go say hi?" Carly suggested half-heartedly, her eyes connecting with Sonny's, conveying her fear. Michael took his mothers outstretched hand, letting himself be led further down the hallway and away from the commotion.

Courtney pulled away from Jason's embrace, wrapping her arms around herself and walking towards the window.

"She doesn't mean anything to me" Jason once again tried to quell his fiancé's fears.

"Jamie is your wife, she obviously means something to you, or you would have followed up on the finalization of the divorce" Courtney turned to face him, her body growing weary from her emotional battle.

"Look Jamie needed my help, we got married, and then we got divorced. End of story"

"Jason, don't you understand it's not that easy for me. You proposed to me after divorcing the latest, but I guess not legal, Mrs. Morgan, and another one pops ups" Sighing, Courtney settled into the chair beside the now vacant bed.

"Every time we get close to happiness something rips it to shreds. I think it's a sign we shouldn't be together" Courtney saw the anguish come to Jason's eyes, his expression clouding briefly, before he bowed his head. Kneeling in front of Courtney, he took her hands in his own. Breathing deeply he struggled to find the right words.

"You're wearing the ring I was going to give you" He stated, running his thumb along her knuckle and up the band. 

"Sonny put it on me when he gave us our blessing, if you want it back…"

"Courtney, I don't know how many more times I have to say I love you, and only you, before you get it, sometimes you are just as stubborn as Sonny" Jason muttered under his breath, smiling when he received a small grin from the blonde.

"There's something you need to know" She stated seriously. Jason nodded encouraging her to continue.

"I was admitted to the hospital when you were in surgery…"

"Uncle Jason" The couple pulled apart quickly, when Michael launched himself into his uncle's arm, causing a wide grin to spread over his features. Hugging the little boy close, Jason looked up at Courtney, noticing the crestfallen expression that had taken over her features.

"Hey Aunt Courtney" Michael added softly, allowing himself to be placed in her lap for a hug. Holding back tears, the blonde-haired woman held the little boy tightly.

"Jason why don't you take Mikey to get some juice" Carly suggested, looking over at Courtney's grief stricken form. Jason nodded swinging the boy onto his shoulders, taking one last look at Courtney, receiving an encouraging smile, before he set off.

"Thanks I needed to have a moment to pull myself together" Courtney admitted sniffling.

Carly nodded absently flopping onto the mattress in front of her sister in law.

"What's wrong Carly?" Courtney inquired, growing worried at the dark blondes' visibly paler complexion.

"Jaime was stabbed in the waiting room" The words were out of her mouth before she could think twice about what she was saying. Courtney felt her heart begin to pound, fear adding to the already jumbled emotions coursing through her.

"Is she alive?"

Sonny stood outside the surgery windows watching while machines went off and the nurses and doctors slowed their efforts. The steady rhythm of a heartbeat came across one of the monitors, causing a few relieved smiles to cross the staffs' weary faces. Running a hand over his face, Sonny prepared to wait until the crowd dispersed to get the information he needed.

Angel stared out upon the scenery from the balcony, two floors from the ground. A cold mask of silence lay etched on her features; she listened to the steady sound of the falling rain hitting the ground. Taking a sip from her coffee cup, the brunette let her eyes fix on the gates in the distance, a few trees decorating the other wise plain winding road that led up to the mansion.

"Mrs. Sorel?"

"Yes, Maurice"

"Your sister will be fine; they have moved her to recovery"

"Fine" Angel kept her gaze focused ahead, refusing to let her relief show.

"Is there something else?" She requested, her piercing gaze settling upon the hesitant guard.

"Do you want to visit Jaime?" He asked, looking for a reaction, receiving none. Turning her back on Maurice, the woman crossed her legs, settling deeper into her chair.

"No, Jaime will come to me when she's better" Maurice nodded silently, turning on his heel and returning to the dry indoors.

"You'll be fine Jaime, when Sonny goes down and you get Jason, you'll realize why I did what I did" Angel whispered to herself, shaking her head to ward off the guilt that began creeping into the pit of her stomach, Choosing instead, to focus on the rhythmic falling of the rain.

 Sonny pushed his way through the surgery doors, taking in the pale woman whose eyes were shut, a peaceful look on her face.

Pulling a metal stool to her bedside, he watched as her eyes slowly fluttered open.

"Who are you?" The girl rasped, her voice dry from being unused for hours.

"Sonny Corinthos, I need to know who did this to you"

Jaime paused, swallowing and contemplating the severity of his inquiry. Pushing herself up, the red head grimaced in pain.

"You shouldn't move" Sonny stated indifferently.

"Thanks, from the whole side splitting pain thing, I think I got it" Jaime bit back, frazzled slightly by Sonny's cold tone.

"Who did this to you?"

"I don't know some guy who said it was a message to Morgan, whatever that means" The woman played the incident down, remaining calm and collected, to Sonny's surprise.

"What are you going to do?" Jaime asked, observing Sonny's retreating form.

"Don't worry you'll be safe, maybe not from Carly and Courtney but from whatever other people want to come after you with a knife" Sonny replied coolly, stopping his hasty retreat when the read head called his name.

"Why do you hate me?"

"I don't like people who threaten my family; if I find out you hurt anyone I love I will hurt you" Sonny responded, walking out and leaving a usually strong woman to cower.

"Were going to the island, go home and pack" Sonny ordered, interrupting Carly and Courtney's conversation. The women were taken aback, but nodded in agreement,

knowing there was no room for arguments.
