"Courtney just give me the gun and go back inside," I said shocked.
"No," she replied. She stepped forward. I stepped in front of her so she was aiming the gun at me and she began to tremble.
"Courtney, you understand why I cant let you do this. I wont let you go to jail. That's not an option for you. It never will be," I told her calmly. I knew she would never shoot me.
The door to the loft opened and Jax stepped out.
"Courtney? Courtney what the hell are you doing? Give me that gun!" Jax yelled.
"This is none of your buisiness Jax," I said to him.
"None of my buisiness? I sure as hell dont want Courtney in jail!" Jax told me.
"Leave Jax," Alcazar said. "This is between Courtney, Jason and myself."
"Go Jax," Courtney said in a shaky voice.
"No," Jax replied. "Courtney I'm not gonna let you do this."
"Jax! Get the hell out of here!" Courtney screamed.
Jax looked at her shocked and shoved past Alcazar and down the hall.
"Okay. Courtney come on. Think. You left me because of all the guns and violence, just give me back the gun and we'll talk about this inside," I said as I reached for the gun. She was still shaking...
Before I knew it, she had tried to charge towards Alcazar but I caught her. I felt her crush right into my body and I heard the gun drop to the ground. Courtney was crying into my chest and I felt my shirt becoming soaked with her tears. I rubbed her back and told her to go into the loft and that I would be right there. So she did. I turned to Alcazar.
"Never come near her again. You leave her alone. You're lucky that she's in there waiting for me because if she wasnt, I would kill you with my bare hands right now for making her relive the hell you put her through when she was on your yacht. Stay away from my family," I said as I motioned for one of the men to escort him out. I opened the door to the loft to see my ex-wife sobbing on the couch. When she saw me she got up and ran over to me and wrapped her arms around me.
"I should have killed him after I lost the baby!" she bawled into my shirt.
Forget broken in two....
My heart completely shattered when she said that.
"Come on, lets go sit down," I said as we walked over to the couch. She sat on it and I sat on the coffee table across from her.
"Im so sorry Jason! I was so stupid! Pulling a gun on him like that. It wasnt even his fault. I made a choice to jump off that boat, the man told me it was suicide. I thought I was strong enough, but if i was, we would have a baby right now Jason!" Courtney pulled her knees up to her chest and began to cry. I touched her hair and whispered things like,
"It wasnt your fault," and "im here"
I even went as far as, "I love you." When I said that she looked up at me with her tear filled blue eyes and I knew it was true. I loved her with everything in me. I shocked myself when i said that because I meant it but I didnt mean to say it. It came out like second nature. Courtney is in pain, I let her know that I love her no matter what....
Her voice caught me by surprise.
"Will you stay with me for a while?"
I sat down on the couch with her and she put her head on my chest and I wrapped my arms around her so she would feel safe. After about ten minutes I felt her breathing even and I knew she was asleep. That's when I heard the banging on the door....
