I know this is like a super short chapter, forgive me leave feedback and I'll work hard to post the next chapter that I already have done.
Chapter 11
"This is soo confusing, it's all just a mess! I want to see my daughter! I need to see my daughter!" Janine was screeching through tears.
Jason took a deep breath as Sonny, Carly and Mike took turns comforting. They were waiting for Dr. Tony Jones to come give them the bottom line. He had been on-call when Courtney was brought in.
"Hey, how are you doing?" Carly sat down next to him, and was answered by a look from Jason. "I know, this is all so unreal. You know, just earlier today I was thinking about how bad it was that you haven't moved on, that you were still mourning her. I was even going through a list of women I knew--ones that didn't hate me, that would be perfect for you. And then we heard about--Courtney. I just couldn't help but think that on some level you must have known. I don't know, maybe that's crazy…but," Carly tried to speak through fresh tears. "I don't know, I just can't put into words how I feel right now. I got my best friend/sister back. Well, at least that's what I hear, I haven't even seen her yet."
"I just…I know this may sound horrible, because I love her, and yes I am happy that she is home and safe. But a part of me," Jason took a deep breath before he continued, "a part of me can't help but wonder where she has been, and--and did she leave on purpose?"
"Jase, there is a lot we don't know, we don't know anything actually. I'm sure it's only natural that you think that way. Courtney's disappearance was devastating to all of us, but they tried to blame you, I remember how hard it was on you."
Jason nodded, grateful for his best friend's support, but decided the subject needed to be changed. "How's Sonny holding up?"
Carly looked across the waiting room where Sonny was talking seriously to one of his guards. "Good, you know, considering…he wants to know where she was, I think he blames himself, like you do. I mean have you ever seen him bend over backwards to help a police investigation?" Carly laughed at the craziness of the situation. "He's trying to make amends."
"Yeah, I know….And…well…You know Mac was one of the few who believed that I didn't have anything to do with Courtney's disappearance."
"Yeah, I remember." Carly said as the two best friends embraced. "None of that matters, she's home now. She's home."
"Yeah," Jason said trying to hide the uncertainty in his voice, and steeled himself as he saw Dr. Jones approaching them.
