Accidents Happen For A Reason

Chapter 2

Jax was in total shock, he couldn't believe what he was hearing, Courtney
has been in an accident. "How bad is she? Is she going to be ok?"

"I'm sorry, but since you said that she wasn't your girlfriend, I can't
give you any information."

"She isn't my girlfriend, but she is a good friend of mine, I just need to
know how bad her condition is, please tell me" Jax demanded.

"She's in surgery right now; she was having trouble breathing and she had some internal bleeding." Jax sighed.

"But she is going to make isn't she? She's going to live, right?!"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Jacks, but there is nothing else that I can tell you over
the phone," the nurse replied.

"Is she going to make it or not?" Jax shouted.

"It is touch and go for the moment; I suggested you come here and I may be able to tell you more."

"Okay," Jax replied, as he got the address of the hospital and hung up the
phone.

After Jax got off the phone he called his secretary though the intercom.

"Come in here please."

"I'm coming." She hurried into the room.

"Yes. Mr. Jacks,"

"I need you to cancel all my appointments for this week and next week," Jax
said as he grabbed his jacket.

"Are you going somewhere?" Katie questioned.

"I just got a call from a hospital in San Francisco, Courtney Matthews was
in an acciden, and I need to go see her."

"You are very fond of Ms. Matthews, aren't you?" Katie questioned Jax.

Jax looked at her with this look on his face. "Yes I am."

Katie nodded.

"I'll go cancel everything for you; I hope that Courtney is going to be okay. She is such a kind and friendly person."

'I hope she is going to be okay as well,' Jax thought to himself, as he
put on his jacket and left the office.

A few hours later, Jax arrived at the hospital.

"What room is Courtney Matthews in? Is she
out of surgery yet?" he asked.

"Are you family?" the nurse at the desk asked.

"No."

"I'm sorry then, I can't tell you anything about her condition then." Jax looked at the nurse.

"I came all the way from New York City, because I got a call from someone here saying she was in an accident! I'm going to see her, so you can tell me now or I will go and look for her myself."

"Like I said, if you aren't family, I can't tell you anything," the nurse
replied.

"Sally, I'll take care of this," another nurse replied. The nurse nodded and
walked away.

"So you must be Jasper Jacks," the nurse replied. Jax nodded.

"Yes, so do
you think that I can see Courtney now?"

"Come with me," she said, as they started to walk away.

"So did you leave as
soon as I call you?" the nurse asked.

"Yes I did, so is Courtney out of surgery yet?" Jax questioned as they went
towards the room.

"Yes, she is, but …" the nurse said, but Jax didn't let her finished as he
saw that they were at her room and walked in. He couldn't believe how pale
she looked and all the cuts and bruises that she had. He went up to her
and sat down next to her.

"Hey Courtney, it's me, Jax. I know that you wanted me to come and help you
with your event, but you didn't have to do this to get me here faster," he
said, as tears started to fall down his cheeks. He remembers a conversation
they had a week ago.


"So my foundation is having a big party coming up and still you are part of
the foundation, I thought you would like to come and help me," Courtney
replied.

"I would love to, Courtney. When it is?"

"The event isn't for another month or so, but I thought that you could help
me like you did before with the event in Port Charles maybe you can come in
a few weeks and help me set it up."

"Sure, I will, but I know the only reason you want me to come. You miss me,
don't you Courtney. You wish that you stay in Port Charles so I could have
won that bet."

"You know that you would have never won that bet, why would I sleep with you
Jasper Jacks."

"I can hear in your voice, you are saying that you don't want to sleep with
me, but you really want to say is that you do."

"You are really conceited , aren't you?"

"But you still like me, don't you?"

"Jax, it has been a year ago since you started that old bet, why are you
still chasing after me, don't you have some other woman to chase," Courtney
replied.

"I saw something in you that I like; it is going to take a long time before
I forgot about you,"

"Jax, we are only friends."

Suddenly the nurse interrupted Jax's thoughts. "Mr. Jacks." He looked up at the nurse.

"Sorry, were you saying something, I was just
thinking about Courtney," he said, smiling. "So when is Courtney going to
wake up? Shouldn't she be wake from her surgery soon?"

The nurse looked at Jax sadly; he looked at her, and could tell that there
was something that she wasn't telling him.

"What aren't you telling me about
Courtney's condition?"

The nurse looked at Jax.

"I tried to tell before when you first arrived."

"What did you tried to tell me before?" Jax asked.

"You must not have not notice, but this is the ICU. I'm sorry, Mr. Jacks, but Courtney is in a coma."

To be continued.
