Chapter 7:

The next morning marked the first day of Courtney's senior year. She got up extra early like she always did on the first day of school so that she could pick out the perfect outfit, but for some reason she didn't care if she scrubbed it or if she wore nice clothes. In the end she opted on wearing a pair of faded blue jeans, a light pink tank top, and pink flip flops. Since she didn't have an appetite, Courtney didn't bother to eat breakfast. Her lack of appetite was because she was worried about what school would be like without Jason and wondered if his absence would ruin her senior year. Once Courtney was ready to leave, she got into her car and began to drive towards Port Charles High School. Driving to school was a new experience for her as for the past two years Jason had always driven her to and from school. A tear escaped her eye, smudging her makeup as Jason's absence came to mind once again.

As Courtney was getting out of her car, she spotted Emily and ran up to her. "Hey," she said.

"Hey," Emily replied excitedly. "We're seniors!"

"I know," Courtney replied. She was excited as well. Even if Jason wasn't here with her, she was a senior. 'How can this turn out to be a bad year when I'm a senior?' she asked herself. 'It can't. It will be different, but still great.' What Courtney didn't know was that although she was right about her senior year being different from the years that had come before, she couldn't have been more wrong about it being a great year. In fact, soon things would take a turn for the worse.

The girls then walked into the building and towards their lockers where they met up with Penny and Lois. The four girls were glad to see that they all had lunch together. Courtney had her first two classes with Emily. Lois was in her first and fourth class while Penny was in her second, fourth, and last class.


A few hours later Courtney stood in the lunch line in order to buy food. Standing in front of her was Jax. When he realized she was standing behind him, he turned around and started flirting with her. If that wasn't bad enough he talked about how great they would be together and even had the nerve to imply that she should cheat on Jason with him. Courtney did her best to block him out so that she wouldn't punch him. It wasn't working, but she had to keep her cool; it was a bad idea to punch someone in the lunch line. Finally, she got her lunch and headed towards where her friends were sitting. Unfortunately, Jax followed her and refused to stop talking. The girls continually switched tables hoping that Jax would leave them alone. When there was only five minutes left in the period, one of Jax's few friends called him over and Jax finally left them alone.


The rest of Courtney's day was going fine until she reached her last class, English. The desks were arranged in a U shape and she sat down next to Penny. About a minute later Jax walked into the room and sat across from Courtney. His presence made the class unbearable. Courtney tried to pay attention to the teacher as he talked about the course, but it was not easy, as she was extremely uncomfortable. This was because Jax wasn't paying attention to the teacher; instead he spent the entire class period staring at Courtney and her breasts.

If the class wasn't bad enough, Jax followed Courtney from the classroom to her locker. Once her locker was closed, she turned around. Jax gently pushed her against her locker with his body and began to kiss her vehemently. His body was pressed against her and he slunk his hand up her shirt, into her bra, and began to massage her right breast. Courtney tried to push him off her but couldn't.

Finally when he was done, Jax pulled away and said, "That was great. I can't wait for more."

Courtney grabbed her bag, ran to her, car, drove home, and ran to her room. She was crying the entire time. As much as she tried to she couldn't help but feel awful and dirty because of what Jax had done. Part of her didn't want Jason to know but the rest of her new that he needed to know. Besides, he always made her feel better. Once she had composed herself she called him.

"Hello," Jason said when he picked up the phone.

"It's me," Courtney said as she held back tears.

"Hey baby," Jason said noticing that she sounded upset. "How was your first day? Is everything okay?"

"Can you beat up Jax for me?" Courtney asked.

"What did he do?" Jason questioned. He had never liked Jax, especially since Jax never even sought to hide his crush on Courtney. Courtney explained everything. By the time she was done, she was crying hysterically. With every word, Jason grew angrier and his blood boiled more. He swore he'd get revenge and make sure Jax learned his place.
