Chapter 6
Hey guys..thank you so much for the reviews. keep them coming! Should I continue? And whats journey!
As Courtney arrived home she could hear laughter from inside. Who was that? She thought to herself. She pushed open the door and slowly crept inside. "Shit, that was Faiths laugh." Courtney was overwhelmed by disgust. She slowly took a few steps backword, praying Ric wouldn't realize she was home. As soon as she was outside she bolted towards Carlys.
"OMG Courtney, I'm soo happy to see you" Carly screamed when she saw Courtney standing at her door.
"Come in sweetie, Ive missed you so much. How are you? What's going on? I heard you moved in with Ric. Is he threatening you? Do you still love Jason? Has Ric hurt you?"
"OMG Carly shut up!" screamed Courtney overwhelmed by Carlys never-ending questions.
Carly blushed and sat down on the couch next to Courtney. "Ok," she said "you can talk".
"Carly, we've been really close lately right? I mean..i consider you my best friend but I need to know I can trust you. No matter how much you want to tell Jason or Sonny you cant! And you need to swear it. I know how erratic you are, and I need to make sure you wont go all psycho Carly on me."
Carly was a little angry at first by Courtney's lake of trust but she knew she was right. She could get a bit "eccentric" at times. "I promise Courtney, I'll take it to my grave".
Courtney took a deep breath and started to enlighten Carly on the recent events. When Courtney got to the part about Ric hitting her or him threatening to kill Jason her blood boiled. You could see it in her face, which went from a lovely tanish color to bright red. "Courtney you need to tell Sonny. He can help you honestly. You cant put yourself or your baby through this"
"Don't worry about me Carly. If it gets to bad. I plan on leaving PC and never coming back."
"Unless Ric has an unexpected heart attack or something. I wonder if he's allergic to any foods, you know I read somewhere that a lot of people react violently to peanut butter" Carly contemplated.
Courtney made a mental note to cook his next meal in peanut oil. Hey it couldn't hurt to try. Her murder plot was interrupted when Sonny and Jason walked into the penthouse. Courtney leaped up from the couch nearly knocking Carly over in the process. Courtney struggled to get her things together, trying to babble out some lame excuse about why she needs to leave so soon.
"Jesus, Courtney what's on your face" exclaimed Sonny.
"What?"Carly asked "I don't see anything."
"Courtney, my mother used to be abused, I can see right through make up."
Courtney's flash flushed, she thought she did a good job covering up her eye, but obviously not a good enough job for Sonny. He walked over to her and lightly touched her eye. She flinched away, it hurt so much.
"I'm fine," she said, "I just fell that's all." She knew that was such a bad lie but it was the only thing she could think of. She looked up at Jason for a minute. He had tears in his eyes. She hated hurting him this much. But she had to, for him.
"Courtney, I think we all should just sit down and" but before Sonny could finish Courtney walked out the door.
"Damn this elevator is so slow" Courtney mumbled. "You know no matter how many times you push that button its not gonna come any faster sweetie" Carly commented. Courtney gave her a quick smile and finally stepped into the elevator secretly praying that Carly would keep her mouth shut.
