Chapter 3

Everyone's eyes were immediately on her but the only ones she was concentrating on were Jason's. She purposely walked slowly, trying not to think of how the dress complimented her but more on the fact that Sam's eye were practically bulging out of her head.

She's not here; she's not really here. Jason silently told himself as she practically floated towards him. She looked gorgeous. Her hair…that dress…her eyes…her smile.

She stopped when she was directly in front of him. They were both staring into each other's eyes. "Courtney I—" He started.

"Shh," She said, putting her finger to his lips. "I told you, I only have one thing to say."

Jason obediently shut his mouth, speechless as he waited for her to continue.

She leaned forward to him so that only he could hear her. "I love you Jason Morgan,"

She was so close that if he moved an inch, he could kiss her. Which was exactly what he wanted to do. Against his better judgment, he leaned forward, prepared to connect his lips with hers.

Courtney stepped back before he could kiss her. She smiled sadly at Jason and turned to leave. She walked out of the church in the same manner that she had walked in.

"Courtney!" Carly yelled after her but she was already gone.

Everyone was clearly shocked but no one more than Jason. Everyone else was watching his every move, to try to figure out what he was going to do next.

Jason cleared his throat and turned back towards Sam. "Lets continue with the wedding."

"What?!" Carly screamed. She tried to go to him but Sonny held her back. "Jason, you love Courtney and she loves you. I don't know what she said to you but you can't marry Sam. You can't do it to yourself or to Courtney, you know it's not what either of you want!"

Sonny stood up and placed a firmer grip on Carly's arm. "Come on," He said as he escorted her out.

"You know I'm right Jason! You can only lie to yourself for so long before you realize what a terrible mistake this is but by then it'll be too late!" Carly protested before she was dragged out of the room.

"What the hell was that?" Sonny demanded once they were on the other side of the closed doors.

"The truth." Carly said, crossing her arms over her chest.

"Jason's doing the right thing, he's supporting the mother of his child."

"Send her out of the country and send her child support once the brat is born." She muttered.

"Carly, please. Don't you think this wedding has been disrupted enough?"

"Fine, I'll go home. I don't want to watch this tragedy anyways."

"Thank you," He kissed her on the cheek and waited until she left. Then he quietly walked back into the church and took his seat again.
