Hey all! I know I haven't written anything in a long time, but real life
sucks! The last 2 weeks, I've had WASL (Washington Assessment of Student
Learning) for 3 hours every morning, I've had drivers ed, plus trying to
get 50 hours of driving in, last weekend, I went to the mall for about 5
hours on both Friday and Saturday (that was fun, I got to be on TV, and I
got an autograph from Aaron from the second Bachelor and one from Matthew
Ashford from Days!), and this weekend, I painted my whole room ( I just got
finished 2 hours ago), so you can see I've been slightly busy. This next
week coming up is booked solid, so I might not be able to update this for a
while, but I'll try to work on it. For anyone reading 'UTEOD,' I'll try to
work on that too, but I've got the worst writers block on that story.
Anyway, in this story, I'm trying to show a different side to Courtney (I'm
not gonna make her a psycho bitch, though, I promise!), so please not too
many flames, lol. This starts about a month from now, so Journey is
engaged and Sonny gave them his blessing and all that. And, since I don't
wanna deal with him in this story, let's just say that Ric stopped his
whole psycho vendetta after he found out Elizabeth is pregnant. Ok, please
enjoy!

Courtney answered the door when she heard a knock, and smiled when she saw Carly behind it.
"Hey, Carly! How did the doctor's appointment go?"
"It went great! Guess what? The baby is a boy, just like I told Sonny it would be!"
"That's great, Carly!" Courtney said, smiling at Carly and pulling her in for a hug.
Carly saw a look flash in Courtney's eyes, but it was gone as fast as it came.
"So, is Sonny happy?"
"Yes, very. He's actually making me dinner right now, so I should go."
"Ok, I'll talk to you later." Courtney said before shutting the door.
She was about to walk upstairs when the phone rang. "Hello?" she said, answering it.
"Hi, is this Courtney?"
"Yes, who's this?"
"Hey, it's Nicole."
"Nicole, oh my gosh, I haven't talked to you in forever!"
"I know! You stopped e-mailing me months ago."
"I'm sorry, I've been really busy."
"You must be! You know how long it's taken me to track you down? I called the number you gave me, but it's been disconnected."
"I know, I moved into Jason's penthouse."
"Ah, yes, your boyfriend. How are things going with him?"
"Great! We're engaged."
"Really?! Congratulations!"
"Thanks. So, how are things in Atlantic City?"
"Well, that's why I called. I have some bad news..."
"What is it?"
"Andrew got in a car accident the other day."
"Is he ok?"
"Courtney, he--he didn't make it. A drunk driver hit his car head on. He was killed instantly."
Courtney sighed and rubbed her temple, feeling a headache coming on.
"What about Justin?"
"He's fine, he wasn't in the car. He's staying with me right now. But you know, Courtney, as much as I love him, he can't stay here forever. I have a busy life myself..."
"I know. Um..." Courtney said, sighing again. "Ok, I'll get on the first flight out there."
"Ok, I'll see you soon. Bye."
"Bye," Courtney said, hanging up the phone and for the first time noticing Jason had walked in the door.
"Hey, who was on the phone?" he asked.
"My friend Nicole. She was my best friend back in Atlantic City. She called to tell me one of our old friends died, so I'm gonna fly out tonight for the funeral."
"Would you like me to come?"
"No! I mean, thanks but I'll be fine."
He gave her strange look, but she just gave him a smile and headed upstairs to pack.
Ok, I might get chapter 2 up on Tuesday, but don't hold your breathe. Hope you enjoyed, please review! 3 ya all 2 bits!
