A/N: I am so sorry that it took me so long to update but I have been very busy and out of town. Here is the next chapter and I promise to update a lot sooner this time.

Chapter 6

The music stopped and Jason and Courtney went back to the table where Sonny and Carly were already sitting.

"Well, you two look like you were enjoying yourselves out there," Carly said the moment they sat down.

"Carly, leave them alone." Sonny said as he looked at Jason and Courtney with a look saying that he was sorry that Carly kept butting in.

"No, really it's ok." Courtney said.

"Yeah, well --- Jason started to say but was interrupted by the guy who had secretly been watching them the whole time.

"Courtney, hey, I'm surprised to see you here. How are you?"

"Hi Brad. I'm fine. How have you been?" Courtney replied in a less than happy to see him tone.

"Well, I've been really busy lately, but I'm happy. Everything is going great but it was also that way two years ago remember?" Brad said the last part with a sick smile on his face.

"Yeah, well I think I want to take a walk outside. Jason, will you come with me?"

"Sure, of course."

Jason and Courtney both got up and walked outside into the cool night. They walked across the street where there was a small park and sat down on a bench. There was silence for a few minutes before Jason spoke.

"Courtney, what's wrong? I know what that guy said earlier upset you."

It was a few moments before Courtney answered him.

"He was my boyfriend my freshmen year. We had gone out a few times and everything was going great until we went to this party one night. He had had a little too much to drink and started flirting with me in a very drunken way if you catch my drift. Well, I didn't like it at all so I slapped him across the face and he got very mad and started yelling at me in front of everybody, so when he finished yelling, I called my dad and he came and picked me up. The next day he called me and I told him I didn't want to hear any stupid apology he had for me and told him we were over. Then he started yelling again so I hung up."

"I'm sorry you had to go through that."

"It's not your fault. I mean I was only 15 and it scared me so much. And that's not even the worst part."

"What did he do to you?" Jason asked with anger burning in his eyes.

"Don't worry, he didn't hurt me. He stalked me for the rest of the year and I finally got a restraining order, but his parents were so mad at what he had done, they moved to New York and I thought they had stayed there, but I guess they've moved back now. What if he tries something else this time?"

"Don't worry, I won't let him do anything to you."

"Thanks Jason," Courtney said as Jason pulled her into a hug. They sat there for a few hours before Jason took Courtney home.

"I had a great time tonight, Jason, well for the most part."

"Me too. Hey, I was wondering if you wanted to go out to dinner with me next Friday."

"Sure, I'd love too."

"Great."

"Well, I'll see you later then."

"Goodnight Courtney," Jason said as he kissed her on the cheek.

"Goodnight"
