Chapter.1

Lorenzo Alcazar walked along the dock...Trying to clear his mind...He needed to forget Carly...He finally realized that no matter what she would always love Sonny...Her heart would always belong to her estranged husband.

Just then he heard a woman crying he looked over and saw that it was Courtney Matthews...He looked at her for the first time..Really looked at her...

She was beautiful inside and out..She had been through so much in her life..

He always blamed himself for her miscarrige...He shouldn't have kidnapped her to get back at Sonny..He couldnt believe that that wa his life..He used woman as pawns in this sick game for territory and power...

Lorenzo:"Are you all right?"

Courtney looked up to see a man she hated staring at her..She didnt realy hate him..She hated the position he put her in and waht she had to do to try and escspe. Her baby died because he had trapped her on that yacht...

Courtney:"I'm fine...It's none of your business."

Lorenzo:"I was just trying to help."

Courtney:"Help? You want to help me? Ok tell me one thing why do men use woman? Why do they pretend when it's clear they only want one thing."

Lorenzo:"What happened?"

Courtney:"I am such an idiot..No you know what all woman are...We fall for them and then the just walk over you."

Lorenzo:"Jax..I'm guessing."

Courtney laughed at the thought of Jax hurting her..He couldn't because she really wouldn't care..She didnt love him..She couldn't love..She was broken forever..

Lorenzo:"Oh it's Jason..."

Courtnye:"Just shutt up."

Lorenzo:"I thought you to were over...I mean your with Jax he is with Sam.."

He saw her eyes glaze over with pain at the mention of Sam's name...

Lorenzo:"I'm sorry I shouldn't have said that."

Courtney turned and walked way.

Lorenzo watched her leave..Great way to rub it in Lorenzo..Why did he say that..There was something about her...Something in him wanted to take her and comfort her when she cried..The pain in her eyes..He wanted to make it go away..

"You go near her I will kill you."

He heard someone say..He turned around and was met with a deadly stare...

Courtney literally ran into her loft...She hated her life...She got dressed in her pajama's,locked her door and cuddled in her bed...

She fell asleep instantly...

All night she dreamed about two people...
Images of them together in bed...She was kissing him and he was kissing her back...They made love over and over again...But it ended..She knew what she was seeing wasan't a dream...It happened a few night's ago...And she scould still feel his lips one her body

Jason walked into his penthouse...He saw Sam staring out the window.'

Sam turned around to see Jason walk in ..

Sam:"Hey where have you been? I have been worried sick..Jason I have been trying to contact you for the past 2 days..."

Jason:"I needed to be by myself.Drop it Sam."

Sam:"Drop it? Are you insane..Where have ya been...Ok I think I deserve taht much."

Jason:"Let it go."

Jason screamed and Sam jumped..She was confused..What the heck happened?

Chapter.2

Courtney could feel herself falling asleep...She needed to sleep...But all of a sudden she heard banging...

"Just ingnore it"she told herself.

Carly:"Courtney Matthew's you get your ass up and open this door RIGHT NOW."

"With and luck she will go away," Courtney thought,"No this is Carly we are talking about.

Courtney got out of bed pulled her robe on and went to answer her very unpatient best friend.

Courtney:''What?",she said as she opened the door annoyed for Carly for waking her up.

Carly:"Hello sleeping beauty."she said as she walked in.

Carly sat on the couch looked up at Courtney and smiled.

Carly:"So I thought I would drop in and say hello to my best buddy."

Courtney:"Carly its almost midnight."

Carly:"What? I have to have an appointment?"

Courtney:"No..I'm just tired and I wanna go to sleep."

Carly completley ignoring her friends request got up went into the kitchen grabbed a carton of ice cream two spoons and sat on Courtney's bed.

Carly:"I'll share if you do.."she said with a smirk.

Courtney:"What are you talking about?"

Carly:"Oh come on Court where have you been for the past couple of days?"

Courtney's started to reply when Carly cut in...

Carly:"...And dont give me some crap about the foundatioon..It ain't gonna fly with me."

Courntye looked at her best friend..She knew she would tell her..But was she ready?

Courtney:"I was with..."

At that point Carly jumped and hugged Courtney.

Carly:"You dont have to tell me I know...I was over at Sonny's and Sam was there and she said Jason has been gone for a while..And you have been gone for a while..So being the intellegent person that I am I put two and two together and I KNOW...OMG Courtney I ams soooooo happpy..You have no idea how long I have ben waiting for this...Why aren't you saying anything?"

Courtney just stared ather friend..She was happy to but it all came crashing down...

Courtney:" I..Car.." Courtney never finished her sentence she broke down on her couch and started to cry..Carly stared at her friend and didnt know what to do...

Carly sat down next to Courntey and hugged her best friend trying to sooth her pain..But she knew only one person can do that...

Carly:"What happend."

Courtney just cried..She couldnt do anything else...

Carly:"Take your time hun..I'll be here..."

Earlier that night at theThe Docks

"You go near her I will kill you."

He heard someone say..He turned around and was met with a deadly stare...

Lorenzo:"Well if it isn't Mr.Heartbreaker..."

Jason and Lorenzo stared each other down...They hated each other an it was obvious...

Jason:"I'm warning you you go near her and I will kill you with my bear hand's."

Lorenzo:"Is that a threat Morgan?"

Jason:"You have cost Courtney to much.Everytime she sees you she think's of the baby she lost while you help her captive.Leave her alone..Seeing you is enough pain."

Lorenzo:"Do you actually hear yourself.What I did to Carly and Courtney I will forever regret.Yes I caused both of them pain..Something I can never repair..But you..."

Jason:"What about me?''

Lorenzo:"What you think you don't hurt her..Everytime she see's you she think's of her baby and what could have been..And all you do is flaunt Sam and that baby in her face.."

Jason:"I would never hurt Courtney..."

Lorenzo:"But you have..You still are everytime she see's you with Sam and the baby..Her heat break's all over again."

Jason:"What do you care? Leave her alone or you will be seeing alot of me."

Jason walked off...

Lorenzo just stared at the river...

Lorenzo:"I care...I care more than any of you will ever know."

Lorenzo sat in his apartment and all he could think about was Courtney...And Jason's threat's...Morgan didnt scare him but he was an annoying bug that followed Sonny's order's...He wondered what happened between the two of them to make Courtney go back to being the broken woman again...A couple days ago she was full of life she smiled even at him...

Flashback

Carly waved at him and invited him to join them...

He did..But he felt uncomfortable with Courtney there..They werent friends but they werent enemies either..

Courtney"Well I better be off."

Carly:"What you just got here..Where is the rush."

Courtney:"I forgot I have a meeting with the Board today..Bye Carly...Nice to see you Lorenzo."

She smiled when she said talked to him...It was a real smile...

It wasant one of her usual "I hate you but I am doing this for my friend smile"
