"Well. Well. Well. Isn't this an adorable little kodak moment?" Emily asked smiling from the doorway. She had changed since Nikolas and her split. More cold, angry, bitter, less trusting.
Courtney sighed and shook her head. "Yeah Courtney Nikoals invited me." "Courtney you don't believe her do you?" "I dont know what to believe anymore Nikolas!" She yelled as she looked into his eyes with the same hurt look as the night before. Nikolas grabbed her hands. "You know what when you sort out who you wanna be with then you come to me I'm not going to play a ping pong game of me and Emily." Courtney said bitterly as she pushed him away and left angrily. "What the h--- do you want Emily!" He asked as his voice filled with anger. "You." "Well guess what! I want Courtney!"
Courtney didn't let the tears fall she held them back with anger. Who was lying? Who was telling the truth? Did he actually love her? All those questions running through her mind. She walked into the house to find it candle lit. Jax came out from the bedroom. "This is nice..." "Oh I'm sorry I wasn't expecting you home Courtney this is for Emily." "She's with Nikolas" Court pointed out looking at him. "Want to know the honest truth? She's only with him to piss you off.." he admitted that the two of them had set up this schemingly devious plan just to hurt Courtney and make her feel the pain she had inflicted on them. Payback was a total B----. "You what?" Courtney slapped him as she stormed to walk out but he blocked the door. "You think what you're doing is right Courtney!" "I want a divorce!" "You just got one...I thought I could hold on to you..." "The only thing you can hold on to is a business and money if you dont go spending it carelessly. Go spend it on your tramp." She said in a monotone voice coldly referring to Emily. "The only tramp in this town is you." Jax replied back as he snatched the door opened. "Don't let the door hit you on the way out Courtney." He said coldly.
"You don't want Courtney...she's just a mere conquest...to show me that you can have anyone even a married woman." She smiled sheepishly. "That's not true...I care about her! I didn't expect to but I do...maybe more then I cared about you which I thought was humanly impossible." Emily looked at him. "I don't believe you..." He held open the door and looked outside. "Get out..." "Excuse me?" "You heard me...get out..." "fine..." She smiled evily. "I had plans with Jax anyways and let me tell you something..." She got up close to his ear and whispered lowly. "He's way...way better than you have ever been." She smiled as she left. Nikolas slammed the door violently as he paced and called Courtneys cell phone. She looked at the caller ID and let it ring as she sat in the cold. Her new voice message icon popped up as she dialed the number to listen she heard Nikolas' voice over the phone full of desperation and worry. "Courtney--I know you don't wanna hear from me right now and probably dont want to talk to me but please...please I need to know if you're ok...I don't want Emily I want you...you and no one else for the rest of my life. Courtney please-" Just then the voice memo beeped and it had cut him off in mid sentence. After moments of reluctance Courtney decided to call him back. "Courtney?" He answered his voice eager with worry and desperation to know she was ok. "I'm fine..." she said lowly. "Hey...where are you? I'll come to you..." "The docks..." her replies were short not that she could help it she just felt so much pain.
Moments later Nikolas appeared on the stairs. Walking down slowly he kept his eyes on Courtney. She had been crying it was clearly visible. He sat down beside her placing a hand on her cheek as she closed her eyes and cried. "I'm here..." He took her into his arms. She couldn't keep this cycle up. Her trusting him, loving him, and needing him and then seeing Emily and feeling like he was back with her. She couldn't be in another relationship where she felt like the third wheel. He brushed the hair from her face as it began to rain. He looked up to the sky and smiled at her. She got lost in his beautiful dark eyes. Her modern day Romeo. She met his eyes as he kissed her. He wrapped his jacket around her just as he had done on the hospital roof. He kissed her as tears fell down her face. Happiness because she felt deep down in her gut that he wasn't lying. "Maybe I like you too much..." She smiled. "Maybe I like you more then I should." He replied teasingly as he lifted up and took her hands as he pulled her up to him. "Let's go home..this is the beginning of the rest of our lives together...from here on out. I can't swear That I'll be here for the rest of you're life but I swear I'll love you for the rest of mine." She smiled as she kissed him and walked arm in arm through the rain headed home to spend the rest of their lives together.
The End
