Chapter 5

Jason got home that night after working at the warehouse all day. He heard someone in the kitchen. Carly if that is you get out here right now. Out walks Courtney." Why would Carly be in our kitchen Hun?" She asks. Jason looks at her.
"Courtney, do I have to tell you this again? I don't love you like you should be loved. You really do need to pack your bags and find someplace else to stay." She glares at him. "I am not going ANYWHERE!!! You understand that Jason Morgan. I am NOT giving you up so you can go find some one else. You chose me!!!" Jason looked at her and shook his head. He was beginning to wonder what he ever saw in her. She could be so dense sometimes and other times she was just so whinny. He turned and walked out the door. He went over to Sonny's and knocked on the door. Sonny opened the door and let him in.
"Jason, what's wrong?" Jason looked at Sonny. He walked over and sat on the couch." Sonny I can't stand to look at her. She is over there throwing a tantrum because I want it ended. She told me she wasn't letting me go, and the one I am truly in love with can't stand to even look at me let alone talk to me. I have screwed up so bad here, I don't know how to fix it." Sonny looked at Jason.
"First, lets go deal with Courtney, then we can figure something out about Liz." He winked at Jason. Jason looked at Sonny kind of amazed that he knew who he was talking about.
"I'm not stupid Jason. I knew you were in love with her. I was just waiting for you to realize it yourself. Don't worry we will get her back for you. All we have to do is figure out how. Maybe we can convince Emily to help out." Jason just looked at Sonny. "I don't know. I tried talking to her today and she wont even look at me." Sonny stood up and walked over to the bar. He poured himself a drink. "Leave Liz up to me." Sonny said. Jason got up nodded and left. Sonny set his drink down. He walked to the door and left.

Liz was in the middle of a painting when there was a knock at the door. She put down her brush and walked to the door. She opened the door and there stood Sonny. She was kind of shocked to see him standing there.
"Sonny, what can I do for you? Would you like to come in?" She stepped aside.
"Yeah I would love to come in. Lets sit down I want to talk to you." She nodded her head. "What would you like to talk about?" "I want to talk about you and Jason. He is miserable and is having papers drawn up to divorce Courtney." Liz looked at Sonny. "What am I suppose to do about that Sonny? He made his choice. He chose her. I can't sit around and wait for him forever. It hurt me more that he wouldn't fight for me and he did for her. I took that, as he loved her more than me. How am I suppose to know what he wanted if he never told me?" She had tears appearing in her eyes. Sonny saw that and put his arms around her. "Liz, I can't say what was going on in his mind but I can say this. He misses you. He misses talking to you. He misses spending time with you. If you could just give him a chance to explain it might help you both." Liz looked at Sonny. "I get it now, I wouldn't let him explain so he sends you to plead his case." Sonny started to talk but she stopped him." No Sonny, you go back and tell Jason that I can't do it anymore. I can't let him get to me anymore. I can't and won't let him hurt me again. All I ever wanted was for him to love me for me. That is something I never had growing up. My own parents couldn't even love me. Why should anyone else?" Sonny looked at looked at Liz amazed. He didn't know what to say to that. He stood up and said, "I am not going to force you into anything. Just think about it. If you need to talk you can get a hold of me." He wrote down his cell number. "I am going to leave now. Like I said if you need to talk call. We can meet for coffee or something." Liz stood up and hugged Sonny. "Thank you Sonny." He nodded and walked out. Liz went back to her easel to try and paint.
