Courtney's body stared to tremble; she shook violently... for once in her life Courtney Matthews was scared. She felt sick to her stomach, as she gently raised herself and leaned against the wall, she let out a gentle breath of hair. Her body ached all over, she felt stiff as her muscles in her legs felt heavy. She closed her eyes to block the sudden rush of dizziness that swept over her. She felt a gentle tear run down her cheek; she made not motion to wipe it away.

Her heart started to pound slowly out loud, she could hear the sudden beating running through her ears, as she saw the stretcher being pushed into her room by the surgeons wearing their green uniforms, along with their white masks to cover their facial expressions. Everything seemed to move in slow motion, as she closed her eyes, and let out a frustrated groan. She tried to get up from her place against the wall, but sharp pains from her bruises stabbed her as she tried to move. Tears of anger and pain cover her face.

She managed to pick herself up, but had to lean against the wall for support. Breathing hard she slowly placed one foot in front of the other, each step felt heavy.

""A.J...what did you do to her?" Dr.Thomas couldn't believe what he was seeing, the once kick-boxer Courtney Matthews who was always head strong and determined...had a smile that made her face glow...now-now she looked battered...and pale. Strangely though, she looked calm. "If I had known about this-that you were going to do this-"

"Shove it!" A.J gave the Doctor a cold stare "I'm paying you for the surgery...not for any counseling or social advice. So start doing what I paid you to do!" He pointed at one of the gurney men. "Take her and strap her to the bed," They guy looked confused he looked at Dr.Thomas as if to seek his opinion on the manner when A.J cut in again. "You heard me...get her now!"

The guy nodded his head and slowly walked in Courtney's direction.

She kept her cheek pressed hard against the cold wall, and absorbed the coolness for a moment...and for some reason the coldness from the wall felt soothing to her. It made her feel more relaxed. For a moment, she let the world pass by her as she slowly closed her eyes, allowing her mind to drift back on Jason, with his strong chiseled figure, the soft and gentle touch of his skin; the pierced looked of his clear crystal eyes. His soothing voice, and how he always knew what to say when she was feeling upset, everything about Jason Morgan within Courtney's eyes, was perfect.

She remembered the feeling of his touch against her skin when he would brush away her tears, and gently kiss each tear softly away. It felt as if he were washing all her sorrows away, she felt whole around him, mainly because Jason was a part of her. When they had spilt up, Courtney had always known that there was a piece of her missing. Jason held that piece.

Courtney was so memorized by her thoughts that she wasn't aware of the figure moving towards her until it was too late. She felt him grab her roughly. She let out a startled cry, and tried to pull away from him. "No……" She said firmly, as she slapped his hands away from her.

"Oh get away from her...I'll take care of her myself" A.J pushed the man aside and pulled her roughly towards him. "Okay honey, its time for you're make over." He pulled her towards the gurney, ignoring her struggles and her cries for help.

"Help...HELP ME SOMEONE!... DAMN YOU A.J!... YOU BASTARD LET ME GO..." She let out a strangled cry as she felt his rough hands cover her mouth hard.. Courtney was feeling too weak to fight back, her bones were now starting to ache, which she knew couldn't be a good sign. "Please let me go..." she managed to whisper.

"Should've thought about that before you left me for Golden Boy Courtney" A.J dragged her to the gurney and lifted her on the bed. "Don't just stand there you morons!...Help me strap her to the bed."

She was sobbing uncontrollably, and kept moving from their grasps, she felt their hands dig deep within her skin, then felt the rough heavy leather move across her wrists and her legs. She felt hopeless, as her mind went black.

He heard her cries echoing from down the hall way, his heart slowly broke as he herd her pleading from them to let her go. He could feel her fear from the end of the hallway, he knew Courtney was scared. But most of all Jason knew that Courtney needed him.

Courtney knew there was something different. At one moment she felt her body being push on the gurney, and then the gurney stopped moving. She heard noises and several grunts, shouts rang out and then the rustle of heavy footsteps echoing down the hall way. Something loud pierced the air, the sound slapped the air again a couple more times. Courtney's head started to ring. She slowly moved it from side to side, she tried to moved her arms, but remember they were held down by the rough leather.

Jason's heart ached from the sight of her, as he slowly placed his gun back into the back end of his jeans. He stared at her for a moment, and watched her stir as she tried to pull herself from the bonds. He struggled to hold back the tears when he saw the outline of bruises that marked her, her eyes were swollen from crying. He walks up to her.

For some reason a feeling calmness washed over her, she didn't feel afraid anymore. She stopped stirring in hope that if she were to stay still this feeling wouldn't leave her. Her mind started to relax; she welcomed this feeling as she let her mind drift back off to Jason. She could only remember feeling this way when she was with...Could it be? No…it couldn't be Jason was at Carly's, he wouldn't know where Courtney was this soon. Her heart sank, and she allowed her eye lids fluttered opened as she managed to ask in desperation "Jason...where are you?"

Her heart stopped beating when she felt a strong firm hand grasp her hand tightly. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. "Jase?….." she asked in a daze.

"I'm right here...Courtney I'm right here."
