A/N: I know in the beginning I said it was Mike's debt for gambling, but now I decided its AJ's debt for gambling and drinking. Tell me if you think these chapters are too short, too! Courtney upset me by telling Jason she wished she never loved him. I was like "What in the name of hell are you doing?" Sigh. At least I have this fan-fic, and I will always love journey I mean check out my name! Haha! Okay here's the story! Enjoy!

Jason entered Harborview Towers and rode the elevator up to his penthouse. As the doors slid open, he saw his friend, Carly Corinthos, perched against the wall, tapping her foot and glancing at her diamond-encrusted Rolex.
"Um…hello?!? You were supposed to be here three hours ago. Where the hell have you been?" Carly said, annoyed at her best friend.
"Around," Jason said shrugging, "I went to Mist and then took my bike around town."
"Oh, so guzzling beers and getting extra mileage on your bike is more important then having dinner with your family?" Carly said getting really pissed off.
"Uh…didn't you cook tonight?" he timidly asked Carly.
"Yeah, and I worked damn hard, too." she said, thinking about how much she hated cooking.
"So you cooked and you still can't get why I didn't come to dinner?" Jason stated with a half-smile.
"Oh, you're so funny! Jeez, I try making a nice dinner for my family and what do I get? Your smart-ass comments and the fact that my husband and son seem to love broccoli so much more than my fettuccini-alfredo." Carly said, sarcastically and with a glare.
"Carly, I'm sorry. But I was busy." Jason said, apologizing.
Carly remembered a conversation from a few months ago. Sonny was telling Jason to watch out for Courtney, but she never got the reason why.
"Does this have to do with guarding Courtney?" Carly asked, slowly and giggly, suddenly getting interested. Courtney was one of Carly's few friends and sister-in-law. She liked Courtney and her and Jason would be perfect for one another. She smiled at the thought.
"Carly, how'd you know about that? You were listening to me and Sonny weren't you?" he demanded. She nodded meekly and began to speak. "Carly, you know you can't listen to any business conversations between me and Sonny." Jason said, exasperated, since it was the millionth time he had to explain it to her.
"Listen, I only heard the part about you guarding Courtney. That's all! So why are you guarding my smart, beautiful, shapely sister-in-law?" Carly asked with a wicked smile.
"Carly, why does everything have to be about sex with you?" he said, silently agreeing with Carly's commentary on Courtney, "I'm guarding Courtney because her piece of shit husband gambled and drank his way into debt and now she's working at Mist and let's just say, she's not just serving drinks." Jason said, anger growing inside him as he thought of the nights he would guard her. All the men there would try to touch her, but stopped once they saw the livid hitman at the bar, intimidating them with his stare. They knew that if they laid a hand on her, they were dead.
"Wow, Jase calm down. You look like a crazy person." Carly said, knowing he cared about Courtney, deeply.
"I'm sorry. Listen, it's been a long night and I'm going in. Tell Michael I said good-night and tell Sonny I'll talk to him in the morning." Jason said, pretending to sound tired.
"Ok, good night Jason. And please calm down. Courtney will find out what a scumbag AJ is, sooner or later." Carly said, hugging Jason.
"Good night, Carly." Jason said, walking into his penthouse, thinking about how crushed Courtney would be if she did find out what scum AJ is. "No matter what happens, I'll be there to catch her…and her heart." Jason thought. With that, he ran upstairs, undressed, and slipped into bed. His dreams filled with visions of her sparkling eyes, bright smile, silky hair, curved body…
