Chapter 12

Kelly's was empty, but Courtney still had an hour before closing, so she walked over to the junk box and put in a few quarters. "CD 15 Songs 1-3, 9 and 11, Michelle Branch 'The Spirit Room,'" Courtney told herself as she punched in the numbers. As the song started Courtney began to sing along as she clean.

Turn it inside out so I can see

The part of you that's drifting over me

And when I wake you're never there

But when I sleep you're everywhere

You're everywhere

Just tell me how I got this far

Just tell me what and

Who you are

'Cause every time I look

You're never there

And every time I sleep

You're always there

'Cause you're everywhere to me

And when I close my eyes it's you I see

You're everything I know

That makes me believe

I'm not alone

I'm not alone

I recognize the way you look at me feel

It's hard to think that

You might not be real

I sense it, now; the water's getting deeper

I try to wash the pain away from me

Away from me

'Cause you're everywhere to me

And when I close my eyes it's you I see

You're everything I know that makes me believe

I'm not alone

I'm not alone

I'm not alone

Whoa, oh, oooh, oh

'Cause you're everything to me

And when I close my eyes it's you I see

You're everything I know

that makes me believe

I'm not alone

'Cause you're everything to me

And when I catch my breath

It's you I breathe," Courtney, sang till she heard footsteps enter Kelly's when she told I costumer "I'll be with you just a moment."

"That's ok, I can wait. I just came for my usual. I haven't had it in about a week," the costumer said. After hearing the voice Courtney looked up afraid.

"Jason… wh-what are you doing here?"

"If I'm make you uncomfortable Courtney I can leave. I just don't want thing to get weird between us. I mean I've been ducking Kelly's for a week because of what happened on that cliff. I know we didn't kiss, but we came…"

"Close. I know, but you're right we are friends and you also decided to take on the role as guard for Daisy."

"Courtney. I took on the role to guard Courtney. Daisy may be your stage name but in my eyes you're always Courtney Matthews and there nothing you can do to change that," Jason smirked.

"I know I can see it in your eyes. You know that you think of me as Courtney Michelle Matthews-Quartermaine. Well now you know my full name. Can we please talk about something different besides all of our secrets? I wonder if we could keep a conversation when others are around and just the 2 of us are talking without mentioning these secrets," Courtney giggled.

"I think you could be right. I really have to tell you something and it important."

"Look Jason can it wait. I'm not in the mood to talk of importance right now. I just want to live in the moment."

Jason decided that he'd wait to tell Courtney of his feeling not wanting the possibility of damping her mood. "Ok, Courtney I'll tell you some other time. So who are we listening?"

"Oh, this is Michelle Branch. The song is called 'You Get Me' and the song that was on when you first came in was 'Everywhere'. You like?"

"Yeah she good. So do want to sit down?" he asked Courtney pointing toward the chair in front of him.

"Sure thanks Jason. So what brings you here? Black Coffee. That is how you like it right? You know what so funny I know how you like your coffee and we're just friends, but AJ has no clue how I drink mine."

"1 cream, 2 sugars" he told her.

"What?"

"You like your coffee with 1 cream and 2 sugars. Well at least that how I've seen you make. So I could be wrong."

"No, no Jason. You have it right down to a tee. I can't drink my coffee without a cream and 2 sugars. But they have to be real sugar none of that sweet and low crap. My mom used to only use sweet and low and no cream, so just to piss her off I would put a cream in mine and 2 sugars. Real sugar, she hated it and would say, 'Courtney Michelle Matthews what do you need all that stuff in your coffee for' and now I can't drink it any other way," Courtney smiled.

"I was like that after the accident Alan and Monica would try and tell me how I used to drink my coffee and would refused to drink it black, so just to piss them off I would only drink it black. I wasn't about to become their puppet and be this son that I no longer was. And couldn't even remember being."

"Do you dance? You move your feet and stuff," Courtney asked.

"I'm no good. You'd be better off by yourself. I can't dance."

"Well, Jason Morgan if you can't dance than I'll teach you to. Plus I can't dance by myself. I also happen to be a very good teach I taught myself by dancing with pillows as my dates when I was little." Courtney told Jason as he giggled. "Hey, Morgan don't laugh at me. When you're an only child and home by yourself you learn that other thing can take the place of people. So come on."

Jason got up and Courtney told him where to place his hands and how to move his feet as they dance. After Jason started to get the hang of it Courtney laid her head on Jason shoulder. They moved with the music and felt so safe in one and other arms as those eyes stared into the window. Jason and Courtney were to wrapped up in one and other to notice the eyes. Courtney felt safe in Jason arms. It was the safest place she's ever been and she couldn't help but forget about everything that was keeping them apart.

"You were right you are a good teacher. I guess working with pillows does wonder for you Courtney," Jason said. He felt so happy to be able to hold her also as if she was his. He felt like Courtney is my girl. They continued to dance as 'I'd rather be in love' ended after 'All you wanted'. Courtney wanted to sneak over to the junk box and put in more money when the last song 'Drop in the ocean' came on, but she knew she couldn't because than Jason would know her feelings. These feeling that she couldn't have.

Love took me by the hand

Love took me by surprise

love led me to you

And love opened up my eyes

And I was drifting away

Like a drop in the ocean

And now I realize that

Nothing has been as beautiful

As when I saw heaven skies

In your eyes

In your eyes

And every time I drift away

I lose myself in you

And now I can be me

In everything I do

'Cause I was feeling as small

As a drop in the ocean

And now I realize that

Nothing has been as beautiful

As when I saw heaven's skies

In your eyes

In your eyes

Love took me by the hand

Love took me by surprise

And I was drifting away

Like a drop in the ocean

And now I've realized that

Nothing has been a beautiful

As when I saw heaven's skies

In your eyes

In your eyes

As the song ended Jason and Courtney didn't budge a bit. Courtney head still rested on his shoulder and her arms were still around Jason's neck. And Jason's arms were around Courtney's waist as his head rested on top hers. Only now instead of dancing they were really just swinging back and forth. Neither wanted to let go, they felt to complete to let go. Jason knew that as soon as they were to stop dancing that he would lose his dream girl to have her go back to a life that he believed she was happy in.
