//*The Note
"Is Michael here?" Jason asked as he entered PH4. Justus had gotten him out. He asked Ric to drop the charges, and if Ric had said no, he would have sued the PCPD for ongoing harrasment against the Corinthos' and Morgans. Ric was reluctant to let Jason walk away, but did so.
"Yeah, he's upstairs Uncle Jason," Morgan replied, not looking up from her magazine.
"Okay, thanks Morgan," Jason said as he walked up the stairs and turned into Michael's room.
"Hey man," Jason said.
"Oh, hey Uncle Jason," Michael said back as he walked over to him.
"How'd it go today?" Jason asked his nephew. He had been curious all day.
"It was interesting. Alex was extremely reluctant to leave Emma alone, but I think I got through to him," Michael said, trying to read the look in Jason's eye.
"What did he say? Did he threaten her?" Jason asked, concerned.
"No, he said that Emma should be able to make her own choices. That she should get to decide who she hangs around with. He was acting weird Uncle Jason. He looked exactly like Ric. The look in his eyes was just... evil," Michael shuddered.
"I went to Ric's today," Jason confessed.
"Did you?" Michael asked, interested.
"Yeah, he insulted Courtney and Emma so I threw him up against the wall and then he arrested me. Me and Courtney just got back from the PCPD. He tried to hold me for as long as he could, but Justus is too good. He got me out within 3 hours," Jason said, rubbing his face with his hands.
"Oh man, that sucks. But at least you're out, and Ric knows not to mess with you," Michael said reassuringly.
"Yeah, I guess so, but I have to go back home. Uhh, thanks for doing that today," Jason said.
"No problem, I love her too. I care about what happens to her too," Michael told his uncle.
"I know. Could you just watch her for me please? You know, make sure she's okay...?" Jason asked.
"I'd be doing it anyways even if you didnt ask," Michael responded.
"Thanks," Jason said as he walked out of Michael's room and down the stairs.
"Hey Mom! I'm home!" Emma yelled as she walked into PH2
"Hi Emma!" Courtney said as she entered the living room and saw her daughter balancing 5 books, 3 notebooks and her purse all in one hand. It was only a matter of time before they all slipped out of her arms. And before Courtney or Emma could catch them, everything fell to the floor. Her papers scattered, her purse spilled.
"Damn it!" Emma yelled as she bent down to gather her belongings.
"Emma Caroline Morgan! Language! If your father heard you saying that..." Courtney said as she too bent down to help her.
"Sorry Momma," Emma said sincerely.
"Just watch it next time," Courtney warned.
"Sure, man Mom, I have so much homework tonight! I better get started," Emma said as she took the things her mother had picked up from her and headed up the stairs.
Courtney sighed. She had had a trying day. She was just glad that Jason had gotten out before Emma knew what happened. She was about to go to the kitchen to make dinner when she noticed a folded note on the ground. It must be Emma's, she thought. Normally, she would never go through her daughter's private things but, she had a bad feeling in her stomach when she found it. So, not knowing what she was getting herself into, she opened the note and began to read...
Dear Emma,
Please understand. I know that you are upset but, hear me out. My father has made many mistakes in his life. I know that. I accept it. He hurt your family, I understand that too. But I am not the same person as him. I'm completley different. I would never hurt you, not ever. If anyone ever hurt you or made you sad, I'd want to kill them. That is how much I care for you Emma. You are so special to me, I wish you would give us a chance. No one would have to know Emma, it could be our little secret. There is one more thing that you need to know. I think you are so beautiful, smart, sweet, understanding, and most of all, you dont judge people. So please dont judge me Emma. I'm in love with you. And I think I always will be, no matter what anyone says. Show up at the library like we planned if you want. Then we can talk. I'll be there. Just think about it okay?
Love,
Alex L.
Courtney gasped. She felt like she was going to collapse. Alex was in love with her daughter. This couldnt be happening. Emma, she was everything Alex described. She was beautiful, sweet, and she doesnt judge people. They were in trouble. If Emma found this note she would go to the library for sure. Courtney knew that she had to go get Jason and tell him. He had to know. She ran over to the door, tears spilling down her cheeks. She opened the door just as Jason was closing the door to PH4.
"Courtney? What's wrong?" Jason asked rushing over to his wife.
"Em, Emma she uh, she dropped her stuff when she was walking, so I, I helped her pick them up and uh, she went upstairs but I found this on the floor. So I picked it up and read it. Jason, it's a note from Alex," Courtney cried.
"Let me see it," Jason said,
Courtney handed him the note. Jason read it over twice. This Alex kid was serious about her. There was no way in hell that Emma was going to the library on Saturday. He would not let her.
"What do we do?" Courtney asked, still crying.
"I hate to do this, but we dont tell her about it," Jason said as he wrapped his arms around his wife and pulled her to him.
"If she finds out we're keeping things from her she'll hate us Jase!" Courtney exclaimed.
"She wont find out," Jason said. He felt her hot tears on his chest. He loved that feeling. It made him feel like she was real and that she wasnt just a dream. That being in his arms made her feel better as he tears slowed. They always did, whenever he held her and she was upset, her tears always stopped. Always.
"If she does..."
"She wont," Jason told her firmly.
"She cant," Courtney replied, pulling out of Jason's arms and looking into his eyes.
"I need to talk to Sonny," Jason said as he kissed her gently and headed back into PH4, leaving Courtney standing there, not knowing what to think.
"Is Michael here?" Jason asked as he entered PH4. Justus had gotten him out. He asked Ric to drop the charges, and if Ric had said no, he would have sued the PCPD for ongoing harrasment against the Corinthos' and Morgans. Ric was reluctant to let Jason walk away, but did so.
