Author's Note: Chapter 3 out of 5 tonight.
Chapter 8:
After finishing his conversation with Courtney, Jason just wanted to punch something. He particularly wanted to punch Jax for saying what he had to Courtney, for touching her, and for making her so upset. The only place Jason wanted to be was in Port Charles, by Courtney's side. Knowing Courtney she wouldn't tell anyone else that she had been sexually harassed. She would be embarrassed and wouldn't want anyone else to know. Jason was surprised that she had even told him. Someone had to put Jax in his place. Someone had to make him pay for what he had done, and that person would be Jason, who after talking to Courtney would gladly do it.
Jason checked his schedule for Friday and saw that his last class ended at one thirty. Afterwards he called all the airlines to find a flight to Port Charles. The earliest flight with a vacancy was at three, which meant that he'd arrive in Port Charles around four thirty. He would have preferred an earlier flight but the three o'clock flight was all he could get on two days notice. If he arrived at four thirty, he should be able to make it the gymnasium at PCHS in time to catch most of Courtney's volleyball game. Jason smiled at the thought; he had never missed one of her games and hated the fact that this year, when she was the team captain, he would be forced to miss them. Once Jason had made his travel arrangements, he headed to the school gym, where he took out his anger on a punching bag by pretending it was Jax's face.
It was five fifteen on Friday and Jason was walking up to PCHS, excited about seeing Courtney. His good mood was ruined when he saw Jax talking to one of the few people who didn't think he was a total creep. Jason's blood boiled as he heard their conversation. Jax was talking about how hot Courtney was, how she looked like she would be good in bed, and all the things he wanted to do to her while the friend just nodded. Slowly, Jason's calm demeanor vanished and was replaced by the urge to hurt Jax.
Jason totally lost it when he heard Jax say, "I guarantee you by the end of the senior year, I'll have found a way to get Courtney in bed and make her forget all about Jason." Luckily for Jax's friend, his phone rang as Jason was approaching and he had to excuse himself so that he could talk in private.
When Jason reached Jax, he grabbed him and dragged him to a poorly lit side of the building. He threw Jax on the ground and proceeded to kick him. Then he pulled Jax up, held him by the collar, and punched him in the face a few times. After that, Jason slammed Jax into the side of the building and placed his arm so that it was covering Jax's throat. Jax could barely breathe.
"You think your all that, going after Courtney and saying those things about her," Jason said. "But I know what you did to her and if you so much as look at her again, this won't even compare to what I do to you. Don't say her name. Don't think about her. If you see her in the hall, turn and walk the other way. Am I clear?"
"Yes," Jax somehow managed to choke out. Jason let Jax go and walked away so that he could watch Courtney's game.
Courtney had just sent the ball back over the net when something compelled her to glance towards the door. When she did so, she saw Jason enter the gymnasium. A smile lit up her face as she turned towards him and waved. Meanwhile the ball had been sent back over the net. Since she was paying attention to Jason and not the game, Courtney didn't realize that the ball was headed straight towards her. It hit her in the head. Both Jason and the coach raced towards her.
"Are you okay?" a concerned Jason asked. He had gotten there first.
"I think so," Courtney replied as she rubbed her head. The coach then got there and quickly checked to see if Courtney was alright.
"You seem fine, Corrinthos," the coach said. "Sit down for five minutes and then I'll put you back in." Courtney did as she was told, and Jason was forced to leave in order to find a vacant seat. When the five minutes were up, Courtney returned to the game. She had been playing for several minutes when she began to feel dizzy. The entire crowd, including a highly concerned Jason, watched Courtney fall to the ground. She had fainted.
