Chapter 5

Courtney arrived for work early today, probably a little to eager to get there. She never realized how much she loved her job until she moved in with Ric. It has been almost a week now and things are getting worse. He's only hit her a few times since she moved in but she still is terrified of him. Courtney pats her stomach thinking about it. She can't let him hurt her baby, she loves it to much already.

"Court, can we please talk?" a familiar voice stammered. Courtney looked up seeing Jason's moist eyes looking down at her. She wanted to jump into his arms and have him take care of her, but she knew she couldn't. For his own sake.

"Fine", she blurted out, "lets go outside".

Once they were outside Jason grabbed her arm and kissed her. It felt so good, to both of them. They haven't felt each others touch in what felt like an eternity. Courtney wanted to stay lost in that kiss forever, but soon she was brought back to reality.

She pulled away, "Jason don't touch me I never want to see you again".

She was hysterically crying, all she wanted to do was to kiss him and now she had to lie to him and say she doesn't love him. "Courtney whats going on, I know you still love me, you couldn't possibly love Ric. You've told me on more than one occasion how much you hate him."

He was right, she had always talked about Ric like he was scum. "well..well..", she blurted", I just said that to cover up my true feelings for him"

Jason looked deep into her eyes, trying to find the truth. "NO that's not it..I know you too well Court. Just tell me whats going on I can help you. Please baby, let me help you."

Courtney was so close to telling him everything. About the night at Jakes, about the baby, absolutely everything. "NO stay away from me Jason Morgan, you are the only one I hate. I swear if you come near me again I'll call the police" and with that Courtney stormed back into Kellys, trying to hide her tears.

The rest of the day was agony to get through. All she kept thinking about was Jason. When her shift was over she decided to take the long way home. She did everything she could to make the walk home extra long. She knew what she had waiting for her at home, and the thought of it killed her. The only thing that kept her going was the baby growing inside of her. She didn't understand how she could love someone so much she hadn't even met yet.

Sry its so short..dont worry the next one will be longer. PLEASE REVIEW!!
