Chapter 11

"Courtney, What are you doing here?" Jason asked her.

"I just came to say goodbye. Sonny is paying for me to go to college but I don't want to go. I want to try and work things out with you."

"It's not going to work Courtney. I am in love with Liz and nothing you can say will change that." Jason informed her.

"How can you be in love with her? She isn't what you need. She walked out on you. I didn't. You decided to kick me out. I still can't believe that. You told me you loved me and now you are in love with her? Jason how can that be. We got married. We pledged in front of God to love each other forever now just because Little Miss over there is having a few problems and needs you and Sonny I am out of the picture for both of you?"

"Courtney I can't apologize enough for the hurt I caused you but this is for the best. You weren't cut out for this life and you know it. Every time I went out on a job you were having a fit. For gods sake Courtney, think about the life I was going to offer you. Now how can you tell me that you going to college is worse than staying in a marriage to a guy that doesn't love you the way you should be loved. Please Courtney, no more problems. Just walk away now. Justis is filing the papers and you are welcome to have a lawyer go over them. I have been very fair about your settlement." Just then the phone rang.

"I'll get it." Liz states. She goes to the phone. Jason looks back at Courtney. "Be the bigger person and just walk away now before either of us deals with a very ugly scene." Just then Liz comes over.

"Jason, I have to go into Kelly's. Tammy is sick and Paula can't handle the diner all by herself. I will head in there now with Francis and when you can come on in. I'll buy you dinner tonight. She grabs her coat and purse and goes to walk around Courtney. "Oh and Courtney, just remember one thing. I knew Jase before you did. I was his friend before you even came to town. Don't think that you can try and get him back. This time I am ready for you so come and try." She turns and leaves. Jason grabs his coat.

"Are you finished Courtney? I have someplace to go." Jason states.

"Yeah I guess we are. There is no way to change your mind I guess." She turns to leave. "Oh one more thing Jase, this isn't over yet. I will be back to finish it. You can't avoid me forever." She turns and goes. Jason thinks to himself what the hell was that she just turned into 2 people right in front of me. One accepting the end and one not. Oh well I got to get to Kelly's anyway. He goes to the elevator and pushes the down button. Sonny walks out of his penthouse.

"Where's Liz?" Sonny asks.

"She is on her way to Kelly's with Francis. She ended up getting called in and Courtney was there so she took Francis with her and I am on my way there now. If this elevator would ever get here that is."

"What do you mean Courtney was there? Isn't she supposed to be out of town already? Sonny asks.

"Yeah but she hasn't left yet. I don't know what to do about her. She swears she isn't done. She will get me back. I am just getting Liz back I don't need to deal with Courtney too now." Sonny looks at Jason.

"I'll tell you what, go meet Liz at Kelly's I will take a trip out to see Courtney and try to figure out what is going on." Just as Sonny says that the elevator gets there.
