Author's Note: I guess my plan to post chapters everyday is kinda failing isn't it? My apologies on that; I have a lot I need to do and catch up on right now that take precedent. To make everything up to you though I have decided to post three chapters tonigh. Hopefully I'll be able to update more tomorrow as well.
Chapter 3:
That night Courtney, Carly, and Emily sat in Courtney's living room watching a horror/murder mystery movie and eating popcorn. Well, at least Carly and Emily were eating popcorn. Courtney was eating a tub of chocolate fudge brownie ice cream. For some reason, chocolate, especially chocolate in the form of ice cream, was the best cure to her pain and sorrow over Jason's departure that Courtney had found all day. Suddenly there was a knock on the door and the girls started freaking out.
"That's what happened in the movie right before the killer snuck in through the window, took Jessie, and cut out her organs," Emily screamed.
"We're gonna die," Carly shrieked.
"It was only a movie," Courtney whispered to herself over and over again.
Then the phone rang and the girl's started screaming; in the movie the characters got a call from the killer telling them the details of how he killed Jessie. The phone rang several more times before the answering machine picked up.
"Hi you've reached the Corrinthos home. None of us are available at the moment. If you'd like to leave a message for Mike press 1, if you'd like—" Mike's voice on the answering machine was cut off when the caller pressed the number for the person they wanted.
Courtney smiled and all three girls relaxed when they heard a familiar voice over the answering machine. "Hey baby," Jason said. "I miss you. I'm in the hotel. Can you call my cell once—." Courtney raced to the phone and grabbed it before Jason had a chance to finish.
"Thank god it's only you," Courtney said.
"Only me," Jason said pretending to be hurt.
"I was watching a horror movie with Carly and Emily and when the phone rang we got scared," Courtney explained. "Speaking of Carly and Emily, can I call you back from my room to make our conversation remains private?"
"Of course," Jason replied.
"Good," Courtney said. "I love you. Talk to you in a few minutes." Courtney blew a kiss into the phone before hanging up. She then raced up the stairs and into her room, grabbed the phone, and dialed Jason's cell.
Jason picked up the phone in the middle of the first ring. "I love you too," was the first thing he said.
"How was the ride?" Courtney asked.
"The only good thing about it was that I spent most of it thinking about you," Jason said.
"You did?" Courtney asked. "I thought about you too after you left. At least I did until Carly and Emily dragged me to the mall and wouldn't give me a chance to think about anything." She let out a small laugh.
"Of course I did," Jason replied. "There's nothing I would rather think about for hours at a time. Did you have fun at the mall?"
"I guess," Courtney said nonchalantly.
"Not really, huh?" Jason asked. Courtney was amazed at how well he knew her.
"I just really missed you," Courtney said. "I wish I could live in yesterday forever."
"I know what you mean," Jason responded. "Yesterday was wonderful, especially last night." Courtney knew that even though he was miles away a smile was gracing his handsome face at the thought of the previous night just like a smile graced hers. The couple continued to talk for the next two hours while Carly and Emily finished movie and left.
