Carly's mouth dropped, but she quickly pulled it back into a smile. Sitting
back, she watched the electrifying stares between Jason and Courtney.
Wondering to herself, she thought - I wonder if she was one of the girls
Jason 'met up with' in Europe. Carly couldn't help the thought and she
couldn't deny the sexual chemistry between these two.
Sonny watched the two confused. They knew each other? How? He had no idea, but it was starting to get to him. Turning around to see if this phased Carly, he saw her face in a shrewd smile. Sonny rolled his eyes and turned back to Jason and Courtney suspiciously.
Jason couldn't believe it. His old girlfriend, the love of his life, first love, First, was Sonny's sister. His head was spinning. She had married his dog of a brother. This was going to get interesting.
Courtney shook her head in disbelief. How is it that she couldn't get Jason Morgan out of her life? Jason Morgan was her brother Sonny's best friend, probably his 'hitman', knowing the life that Sonny led. Courtney couldn't take much of this longer and suddenly her breath became short. She felt the room spinning and her head had become light. Before she knew it, she blacked out.
Jason lunged to catch her as she started to fall out of her chair. Taking her in his arms, he looked for Luke. The music came to a stop as Sonny yelled, "LUKE!"
Luke came bustling out of the kitchen and looked around for the owner of the voice, knowing it was Sonny. Looking at Sonny angrily, Luke asked, "What in the hell did you yell like that for? I was-," Luke stopped as he saw Courtney's lifeless body in Jason's arms.
"Can we use your office?" Jason asked Luke calmly.
Luke nodded, "Yeah, you can. Go on back there." Luke beckoned them to the back.
Everyone in the place stared as Jason led the way with Courtney's body in his arms and Sonny and Carly following them. Finally reaching the office, Jason lay Courtney on the couch on the back wall.
Carly smiled at the concern Jason had for her and gently lay a hand on his shoulder. Jason looked up at Carly who was smiling knowingly. Jason shook his head and turned back to Courtney. Slowly she began to stir. Her eyes fluttered open and she whispered, "Jason?"
Jason nodded, "Shhh, I'm here." He gently pushed Courtney's hair away from her face.
Sonny was shocked. He still didn't know what was going on. How was it that Courtney and Jason knew each other and neither of them managed to tell him about it? Thinking hard, he wondered is he had mentioned Courtney's name to Jason. Drawing a blank, he knew he hadn't mentioned Jason to Courtney. But wouldn't AJ have brought him up?
Courtney's eye shot open and she pushed Jason's hand away. Jason was shocked and backed up from her. Courtney looked around the room, "Sonny, Carly? What happened?"
Sonny was pulled back to the present as he heard his baby sister's voice calling his name. Looking down at he with a concerned face, he whispered, "You fainted."
Courtney furrowed her brow, "I can't believe that I did! I'm such an idiot!"
"No you're not, sweetheart," Carly told her, smiling.
Sitting up, Courtney looked at Jason and angrily asked, "Why the hell didn't you mention to me that you knew Sonny?"
Jason was offended and yelled back, "Oh! And it didn't seem important to tell me that he was your brother?"
Sonny was confused. He had never seen Jason yell at a girl like that besides Carly. Pushing his blazer back, he rested his hands on his hips. Quietly, he looked at the two and asked, "How do you know each other?"
Courtney's eyes grew wide with shock and she looked at Jason. She didn't want to tell Sonny that Jason and her used to be in love. Jason understood her concern because he didn't want to explain to Sonny either; however, knowing it was a lost cause if he argued with him, Jason started the tale.
"Courtney and I met when we were teenagers. I was at a fourth-of-July get- together and I met Courtney. She was my mother's friend's daughter," Jason explained, not going into details. He didn't want to tell Sonny and Courtney and him were together close to two years before they broke up. He didn't want to tell Sonny that he had fallen so deep in love with this girl that he couldn't get over her.
Courtney looked at Jason, anger rising in her chest. She snorted furiously through her nose causing everyone to turn to her. Jason looked at her questioningly. Courtney's face contorted, "That's all I was to you? Mom's friend's daughter?"
Jason shook his head, "No, Courtney, don't get into-,"
No, Courtney, don't get into this!" Courtney mocked him, knowing already what he was going to say. She rolled her eyes, "No! Okay! Jason I loved you with everything of my heart and you just. you just. what? You didn't love me? You just said you did? What, Morgan? Tell me!"
Jason didn't dare to look at Sonny, as the room grew deadly quiet. Jason closed his eyes and sighed heavily. Looking at Courtney, Jason said quietly, "Can we please talk about this later?"
Knowing this was their cue to leave, Carly grabbed Sonny's arm, "Let's leave them in here to talk awhile."
Sonny stared between the two before nodding at Carly. Heading towards the door, he looked towards the two of them, "I want to hear about this later." Courtney and Jason nodded and Sonny and Carly exited the room.
Sighing, Jason turned back to Courtney. She angrily had her arms folded across her chest and refused to look at him. Jason pulled a seat out from the desk and sat across from her. Tilting her head with his thumb, he looked deeply into her eyes, "I did love you."
Courtney stared into the depths of his crystal eyes and knew that he was telling the truth. Tears came to her eyes and she quickly looked down to shield them from his view. Quietly, she said, "Then how come you didn't tell Sonny about it?"
Jason thought for a moment and then said, "Because I didn't want to go into everything. I didn't want to tell Sonny that you were my first love. The only woman I loved with everything I had; that I made love to you for both our firsts. Courtney, I didn't want to share that."
Tears silently poured down her cheeks and she brushed them away. He was always so caring. Why did he have to get to her? Looking at him bravely, she nodded, "I understand."
He could tell that she was crying and instinctively, he pulled her into a hug. He smiled as she hugged him tightly and cried on his shoulder. Pulling away, she wiped the tears off her cheeks and grinned, embarrassed at what she was doing.
"I know you think I'm stupid for doing this," She smiled foolishly.
Jason shook his head and replied honestly, "I could never think you're stupid."
She looked down and smiled shyly. Blushing, she sat back in the chair, "I just needed to hear that after the break up."
Jason looked down and suddenly felt ashamed. There was an awkward silence. Neither of them wanted to look at each other because neither wanted to relive the memory.
Pulling herself up, Courtney looked at Jason, "We should go back to the table."
Jason nodded and joined her as she left the office.
Sonny watched the two confused. They knew each other? How? He had no idea, but it was starting to get to him. Turning around to see if this phased Carly, he saw her face in a shrewd smile. Sonny rolled his eyes and turned back to Jason and Courtney suspiciously.

Luke came bustling out of the kitchen and looked around for the owner of the voice, knowing it was Sonny. Looking at Sonny angrily, Luke asked, "What in the hell did you yell like that for? I was-," Luke stopped as he saw Courtney's lifeless body in Jason's arms.
