"Jason?....What's wrong?" Jason couldn't stop his eyes from tearing up as he heard the voice of the woman he loved. The woman that he had looked all over the globe for, and suddenly she was right in front of him. "Jason....Talk to me!....What's wrong? What's going on?!?!"
It was when Courtney touched him that he realized that he wasn't dreaming. He pulled her into his arms and held her as tight as he could, trying to make up for all of the time they lost together.
Jason pulled away from her, his hands began to caress her face. "You're here? You're really here? You're alive?"
"Jason! You're scaring me!!! Will you please tell me what's going on!"
The realization of Courtney's words hit Jason like a brick, "You don't remember?"
"Remember what?" Courtney asked, clearly frightened and confused.
"Where have you been?" Jason asked her. There were so many things he wanted to know, so many things he wanted to ask, he didn't even know where to begin.
"What do you mean 'where have I been,' I've been here! Jason what is wrong with you?!"
Jason didn't want to tell her anything he was afraid he might hurt her. "Courtney I don't know how to tell you this, but..." Jason noticed that his hand was wet, he removed it from the back of her neck, and saw it was covered in blood. "Courtney! What happened?!" Jason moved her forward so he could see where the blood was coming from. He saw that there was blood on the pillow and he saw that she had been hit at the nape of her head. Jason said, "Courtney what happened?! We've got to get you to a hospital!" When he moved her to lay her back on the bed he saw that she was asleep. He tried to wake her when he realized that she had passed out.
He knew he couldn't lose her again. Not when he just got her back, he reached for his phone to call for help.
Sonny and Carly walked out of the elevator holding hands, both were quite content, and were enjoying the evening. As the guards held the door open for Carly, Max pulled Sonny aside.
"Jason is at the hospital," Max told Sonny, but could tell by the look on Sonny's face that he had misunderstood him. "No, no, Jason's fine, but something happened, I just started working 30 minutes ago, so I don't know what happened. Jason just called me and said that I should tell you and Carly to get to General Hospital as soon as you got home."
Sonny carefully eyed the guard. "He didn't tell you anything?"
"No. But, I asked the Jimmy, guard on the last shift and he said that some girl stopped by, but he didn't know who she was, but he said that she must have been important to Jason because he came out looking as white as a ghost, and rushed her to the hospital. And Jason also gave me orders to find Jimmy and take him to the warehouse, he didn't say why though."
"Thanks, Max," Sonny said. Wondering what girl could cause that kind of reaction with Jason. He could only think of one, but told himself that it wasn't possible. He tried to shake the odd feelings that washed over him as he went to get Carly and head to the hospital.
Jason paced back and forth the hallway in General Hospital. The doctors were in with her, they were in with Courtney. He couldn't get over the fact that she was back, that she was here, with him.
Monica eyed her son pacing a whole in the floors worriedly. A doctor had approached her and told her what was going on. Monica had been floored, her first thoughts had been, 'Courtney? Here? Alive?' She wondered where Courtney had been these past years, and couldn't stop the little bit of hatred she felt towards Courtney for hurting her son and letting everyone think that he murdered her. Monica also felt sorry for her, felt sorry for the both of them. She knew the news she was about to deliver to her son was going to be very difficult.
Carly played with her ring as she stared out the window, nervously anticipating their destination. Her mind ran through all the possibilities. She of course started with the worst. Those being Robin and Liz. She did want him to move on but with someone who actually deserved him. Someone like Courtney.
Jason looked up and saw Monica approach him with a grim expression on her face. Jason tensed, his heart clenched and he couldn't breathe, he could only think about what bad news is coming his way.
"Jason, I have talk to you..." Monica started.
"Just tell me. What's wrong with her? It is her?! Isn't it?
