Chapter 26
Carly sat there and started to listen to Marco a little more intently. She had a feeling that everything was about to change and so many of her questions would be answered after he said his peace. Than just as he was about to spill the coffee the door opened. And Carly got pissed. Why? Her head was screaming. Why? Why does he have to come now? He couldn't wait 10 minutes that's all she needed and he ruined it.
"Hey Carly," he noticed that Carly was now becoming angry and he didn't know why. "what's going on."
"Nothing Jason Morgan. Nothing. That what's going on nothing," Carly hissed as she got up off the couch and started to walk towards him. "Well thanks for the chat Marco. It was nice having someone to talk to. You were a great listener." Marco took that as his queue to leave and report back to his post. He was relieved that Carly hadn't mention to Jason that they were discussing him. As he got over toward the door Marco noticed that Courtney was walking in too. Carly happened to noticed also and she figured that maybe they were both here to tell her about the relationship that she believes whole heartedly is happening and she began to smile. Jason noticed this change in her attitude and wondered what she was thinking and knew it couldn't be good.
"Hey Carly! Is Sonny home? I need to talk to him. It's important," Courtney told her as she walked into the room and closer toward Carly. Carly could tell that she was really nervous but wasn't quite sure why. She knew Sonny and she believed that he would be happy for them and Jason was such an improvement over AJ.
"So you two have to talk to Sonny together. I take it, it's important and serious. I will be allowed in the room as well. I have a feeling as to what you're going to tell him anyway. And I would love to bask in my glory," she smiled. Jason and Courtney just look at her like she was nuts. She couldn't know that Courtney had left AJ and was planning on filing for divorce. Could she?
"What are you talking about Carly? Me and Courtney were…" Jason began but before he could finish Sonny walked into the penthouse. And he was surprised at what he saw. Sonny wasn't sure why his family was standing in his living and he felt as if he was intruding.
"Well hello everyone," Sonny said. "What are we all doing here. It's not everyday that I come home and my family is here."
Courtney was now even more nervous than before. She didn't want to tell Sonny that he was right all along about how her relationship with AJ would never last. She was also afraid of how he would react when she told him. Her mind kept telling her to breathe all she needed to do was breathe. Than Jason looked over and seen how nervous she was. He shot her a looked that told her everything was going to be ok and Courtney and she knew it would. And that's when all of her confidence came back to her. She than walked up to Sonny who was right by the desk and began to speak, "Sonny I uh… I have something that I need to tell you. And I think that maybe you should sit down."
Sonny looked at her and thought that something was probably wrong if she was asking him to sit down. Sonny than began to rub his temples afraid and frustrated as what could happen. He starting to not want to know what was to come. "Courtney why do I need to go to the couch? Can't I just stay here. I mean what's the difference."
Carly just sat on the couch taking it all in with a smile spreading across her face. She knew that if her sister-in-law was asking Sonny to sit down that she was about to tell them the good news. So since she was eager to hear the news she holler at Sonny, "Would you just sit down already. God Sonny I don't understand you sometimes. If you would just come sit next to me on the couch than Jason and Courtney can tell us what's going on. And I would like to hear it so how about you just come and sit next to me. Ok?" Sonny finally went over toward the couch and sat next to his wife. He noticed the smile on her face and wondered if she already knew. And that's when he realized that she said Jason and Courtney needed to tell them something and he didn't like the sound of that.
"Wait just a god-damn minute. Carly you said Jason and Courtney have something to tell us. What the hell would they have to tell us. They barely know one and other," Sonny started to yell. He had a feeling that if it was something he didn't want to hear.
"Sonny! Jason and I don't have something we need to tell you. I have something that I need to tell you. Jason is just here for support," Courtney retorted. She didn't know what Sonny would think could be happening between her and Jason that had made him so mad. It just didn't make sense to her. Sonny finally calmed down and took a deep breathe. He didn't need to be jumping to conclusions. That wouldn't do anyone any good. Besides he asked Jason to befriend her. Courtney than continued, "I don't know how to tell you this but uh.. God it shouldn't be this hard. It's about AJ and I." that's when Sonny started to get mad. He sworn if AJ had done anything to her that would be the end of him. Carly smile left her face. She realized that Jason and Courtney weren't going to say anything about the 'relationship' that they were having.
Jason noticed that Courtney was starting to freeze up. He could see the fear that was showing on her face. So he walked closer to her and put his hand on her shoulder. Just the simplest touch eased her and Courtney knew she could do this. She didn't have to be afraid. Sonny and Carly both noticed the that Jason had put his hand on her shoulder. And they had totally opposite reactions. Carly face brighten up and a smile came across her face. The way she smiled at that simple touch it gave you the thought that 'someone just had an orgasm'. which was quite funny considering Carly wasn't actually experiencing the touch and it wasn't even as though it was meant in any sexual way. Where as Sonny expression to the touch was hell to Carly heaven. As soon as he noticed Jason place a hand on his sister he went ballistic. No this shouldn't happen they're not here to say she and AJ are over and now Courtney has decided to go with Jason. Sonny wasn't going to let that happen. His sister had a life ahead of her she was going to marry a doctor who had his own practice and didn't work at the hospital. He was going to be an outstanding citizen, respect her, love and treat her like she was the only woman in the world and give her so much love. They would have a family and she wouldn't have to worry about him going to prison or not coming home. He wasn't going to allow it. Courtney and Jason both noticed that they were both jumping to conclusion so she finally spoke up.
"I can do this Jason. Look I'm afraid of what to tell you because I'm not quite sure how you'll react. Well the truth is I'm afraid that you'll say I told you so. But I left AJ. We're over." As she spoke those words a sign of relief came over both Sonny and Carly. Carly took it as a sign and Sonny was just glad that AJ would no longer be in their lives. At the same time he was afraid of what else she would say. "I realized that AJ and I aren't going to work out. I don't love him and I can't say that I ever loved him. I loved the way I thought he was, but in reality he was just like a character on TV. He had that character and who he was. And I know that you all want to say I told you so, so go ahead."
Sonny and Carly just sat there. They didn't want to say I told you so. They were just glad that she wised up before AJ had a chance to hurt her. But little did they know that that wasn't true. There was a moment of silence before Sonny finally said something, "So when do you move in? because I don't want to staying at your apartment because AJ can stop by anytime and you don't need him to bug you about leaving. So will send Max or someone to go and get your stuff. And wait until Michael hears that your moving in." Courtney looked at her brother with a what are the hell are you thinking look. She didn't want to move in with Sonny and Carly. As much as she loved them she knows them as well. Carly would always pry into her business and Sonny would make sure she had no life. She couldn't move in with them it would be like a teenager living with her overprotective parents. Carly noticed Courtney look and knew she didn't want to move in with them and she also knew that Courtney had been staying over at Jason. She didn't want to ruin a good thing.
"Sonny you know as much as I'm sure that Courtney loves you I don't think she's ready to move in with a family. Come on you can't go from living with a husband to moving in with three other people. One who happens to be your over protective brother. So why don't we think of something else?" Carly suggested. She than looked up and smile over at Jason.
"Look Courtney you can continue to stay with me if you want. Until you're ready to move into your new apartment. I don't mind. You weren't that bad of a roommate. I mean considering you slept most of the time. So what do say?" Jason asked. He hoped that she would continue to stay with him, but he didn't want to seem desperate about it so he tried to play it off. As Jason suggest that Courtney continue to stay with him Sonny realized that her and AJ have been separated for awhile and he wanted to know why Jason knew and didn't say anything to him.
Sonny tried to hold his temper but he couldn't. "What do you mean she been staying with you? How long have you and my sister been roommates, huh?" Sonny was angry and Courtney didn't understand why. She was baffled that he sounded so angry that she had stayed with Jason it wasn't like they slept together.
"Sonny what the hell is your problem?! Last night after I left AJ I didn't know where to go so I went over to Jason's because he's my FRIEND. And I needed someone and I wasn't ready to tell you. I was ashamed to come here. So I went to Jason's and today he helped me search for an apartment and that's what we did. So don't you get all pissed at Jason or at me. Do you understand? And I'm going to stay at Jason until I can move into my apartment. And if you have a problem than deal with it. I don't care what you do just deal with it," she retorted.
Sonny realized that she was right. He was just jumping to conclusions. And he had to relax. He needed to remember that he had asked Jason to be friends with Courtney to begin with. There was no need for worry. "Ok. I guess I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions like that. I'm sorry. I guess that I was mad that you could go to Jason and you couldn't come to me your own brother. Just know that I'm here for you no matter what," he said. He than walked closer to Courtney and hugged.
"I know. I just I wanted it to work and you and Carly kept telling me he was no good and I didn't want to prove you guys right. So don't be mad at Jason," Courtney mumbled to him. Her head on his shoulders. Carly was teary eyed such a beautiful family moment. "Sonny I hate to ruin this but I'm tired and I want to go to sleep. Looking at places all day isn't that fun." She than pulled away from the hugged and said bye to everyone and walked towards the door to go across the hall.
"I'll go with you. I'm tired too. You dragged us to see a lot of apartments. And I'd be happy to never go apartment hunting for the rest of my life," Jason smiled and he headed toward her. As he got to the door and turned and waved bye to Sonny and Carly who were sitting on the couch.
They sat there on the couch in silence for a few minutes, until a soft voice spoke, "Sonny you have to let her live her life. I know that Courtney's your sister but at the same time she's her own person. She can take care of herself. And if she and Jason were to become more than friends I think you need to accept that. Everyone needs love including your sister and Jason. And I happen to think that it would be great if they found it with each other."
Sonny rubbed his hand over his eyes, "No Carly. It wouldn't be good if they found love in one and other because all that would happen is heartache. One of them would bury the other and that can't happen. I won't allow my sister to get kill or have her heartbreak when one Jason doesn't come home because he was killed or sent to jail. It's not going to happen. Not as long as I'm alive."
