Everything I Do: I Do it for You
Chapter 24: Help Courtney
You took my body, tore it half took my childhood, my heart and my laugh why do I live in fear why do you drive me too tears…
He grabbed her arm, causing her to turn around. He was kind of laughing as though he wasn't taking it seriously.
"You don't mean that… do you?" he asked her.
"Why wouldn't I mean it A.J.? Look at all that you've done. I'm not letting you take advantage of you anymore," She said.
She wouldn't have spoken with such guts had she realized that the bell had been ringing for awhile and that the halls were deserted. He looked so mad and hurt. He gripped her arm and sent her sprawling across the floor. She instantly got up and looked him straight in the eye, something that she never would have done before.
"Oh, gee why would I mean it A.J.? You just treat me so well why would I want to end it?" she said sarcastically
He met her comment with a swift slap across the face. He figured that they were already over so he had nothing more to lose. He knocked her down and straddled her hitting her as hard as he possibly could. She was bleeding. It hurt so badly! Tears were streaming down her face, which was no surprise, but the surprise was that A.J. was also sobbing. He really did love her, but in a sad and sick sort of way. The sort of way that drives people to stalk other people. The kind of way that made them hurt themselves. The kind of way that made them say:
"If I can't have you no one can!" he said through his teeth.
That scared her, more than anything had. She tried to scream and he busted her lips. She pushed as hard as she could on him, but he wouldn't budge. She became frantic, afraid that he'd kill. Right about then her field of vision started to narrow and her eyelids and head became incredibly heavy. She collapsed, unconscious with on thing on her mind… Jason.
Dr. Chapin was checking on Jason, and decided to talk to him while he did so, hoping to stimulate his mined and thus speed recovery.
"Hi Jason! I'm just seeing how you're doing here. You have a real good girl. I talked to her today. It made me wonder if you know about the stuff that other guy does. I hope that she tells you. And if she does, smash him." He said.
He stood there a minute thinking. Suddenly Jason started jerking and having compulsions. Dr. Chapin started getting frantic. He stuck his head out the door and yelled for more doctors. His heart monitor was going crazy and his arms and legs were now going crazy with the compulsions. A swarm of people, more experience than Dr. Chapin, came rushing in the door pushing him to the side. Staring on in horror he could only hear one thing. Jason's strained voice struggling to scream out "Courtney! Help Courtney!" Dr. Chapin knew that he was probably right, he probably had a vision. He left as fast as he could.
The next thing Courtney knew, she was waking up and underneath a stair well. She could hear a voice faintly. She blinked hard. And looked around. She saw AJ and came to the conclusion that he had truly gone crazy. He was pacing back and forth talking to himself. He was talking so fast and frantically that she couldn't understand him, but she saw a knife in his hand. He kept tensing up his arms and balling up his fist. She could see that he must have cut himself more than once because blood was dripping from his hand. He didn't seem to notice. He didn't slow down his pacing or speaking. She knew that disturbing him could be fatal, but of course anything could be fatal right now. She was sure that she was going to die. She closed her eyes, prayed, and dreamt about Jason.
