Thanks so much for all the reviews. Sorry it took so long to get a new chapter up. =)
Sister of the Moon: Were my feelings toward Courtney that obvious? ;) lol

"Why didn't you tell me?" Brenda sighed as she sat across the table from Jason "I never would have came over here and bothered her..."
"It's not your fault," he shook his head "I just, I don't know what to do anymore. She's so upset about the baby and I..."
"You can't feel the same way," she finished his sentence with an understanding smile.
Jason was surprised that she knew that was how he felt but he nodded his head.
"I've tried to."
"I know," she nodded "But Jason that's not your fault."
He let out a deep sigh and glanced over his shoulder in the direction of the bathroom. Courtney had been in there a long time.
"I'll just go check on her," Brenda stood up and although Jason knew that was probably the worst idea she could have, he let her go because he was worried about Courtney. A few seconds later, Brenda came out of the bathroom and shook her head.
"She's not in there."
"If you're talking about the blonde," one of the waiters spoke up "She had me call her a taxi a few minutes ago, she left alone."
"Great," Jason sighed, "I've got to get home to her."
"Maybe she needs some time alone," Brenda touched his arm "She probably just needs to think, and like you said you're not helping her right now..."
Jason knew she was right but he felt helpless. There wasn't anything he could do to fix the situation and he wasn't used to being in that position.
"How about you finish your dinner with us?" Brenda smiled, nodding to Ned sitting alone at their table.
"That's ok, I'm just gonna go for a ride on my bike, try to clear my head."
"Oh," Brenda looked a little disappointed. She really wanted to try to help Jason, it was the least she could do.
"Well, you want some company?"
"No, thanks," he forced a little smile "I'll be ok. You guys enjoy your dinner."
He turned and walked out of the restaurant. Brenda gave him one last glance before returning to Ned.
"Brenda," he narrowed his eyes "Why are you purposely mixing yourself up with Jason again?"
"Jason's not as bad as the Quartermaines think and you know it," she sighed "He's not as bad as I used to think either."

Courtney felt dizzy, the whole room was spinning and her head was pounding. She rolled over in the bed and stared at the opposite wall.
When she came out of the bathroom, there they were, Jason and Brenda sitting across the table from one another. Brenda had such an understanding, thoughtful expression on her face, and she was sure Jason's face reflected hers. She couldn't stand being there another minute, so she had left. Why should she put herself through that? It was clear to her that Jason had hid the information about Brenda on purpose. Why wouldn't he? Brenda was a gorgeous model. She was married to him, went through a murder trial with him, they had formed a bond that Courtney would never be able to understand. Brenda knew so much about Jason.
Back at the apartment, she took more pills and crawled into bed, alone. She didn't expect him to come home. He was probably out riding around, maybe with Brenda, maybe with Elizabeth, the list was endless at this point and it didn't really matter. She had done this to herself; the baby had decided her fate.
Suddenly, she felt the mattress give as Jason slid under the covers beside her.
"Courtney?" he whispered.
She felt tears begin to slide down her cheeks but she bit her lip and remained silent. He had come home, to pity her, to appease her, so he wouldn't feel guilty for what he felt for someone else.
"Courtney?"
She concentrated on the wall, staring so hard at it that she felt like she was staring through it.
Jason let out a sigh before he turned over and fell asleep.

Lots of Brazen in the next chapter. =)
