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." He stared down at her small fragile form, his heart beating rapidly within his chest, heswallowed a lump in his throat as he tried to ignore A.J's lumps that now marked Courtney deeply.

Courtney couldn't hold it in any longer, she tried but it was no use she always felt so exposed to Jason, she had to let it out. It was hurting her too much to lock it within inside of herself. She let a sob that she was holding escape her lips. Her body shook with every sob... She cried for what A.J did to her, she cried for feeling so vulnerable... She cried over what A.J took away from her ...the sense of security. But most of all she cried over Jason, not believing that it was him sitting in front of her...she cried because she believed it was another one of her dreams.

"I wish it really was you," She managed to let the words escape her mouth through her sobs, she turned her head away from the image of Jason's and his blue eyed stare. "Your not real... your just the Jason in my dreams, who was with me ...helping me fight against A.J." She felt her heart turn heavy when she turned back to soak her eyes into is crystal blue ones. "You don't understand how much I want to hold you...to be with you right now...in real life."

Jason couldn't believe what he was hearing, and he didn't understand some of the things she was saying. His heart snapped in two, with the words that cam rushing out of her mouth. He slowly shook his head. "No...Courtney..." He reached down and released her arms and legs from the firm bonds that held her down. He saw the shock wash over her dazed face as she registered what was really happening. "I'm very real. I promise you that."

Courtney slowly raised herself up from the bed, she studied into his eyes from a moment, she hesitantly lifted her hands to both sides of his arms where she slowly ran her hands up to his shoulders. The both looked deep within each others eyes, afraid of what to think, or do next. She allowed her hands to slowly slide to both sides of his cheeks where she traced one finger on the outline of his jaw.

Courtney gasp out "Please be real...I'm begging you... you don't know what its like to want something so bad...to have someone to hold onto when your scared... to have the need to confide in someone you trust...then to find them just disappearing in front of you...leaving you behind and you know now that it was only a dream." She held his head firmly between her hands.

Jason just stared down at her shaking form, he could feel the warmness of her hands against his cheeks as he slowly raised one of his hands to greet her hand on his cheek, he rubbed it softly. "Didn't you hear me? I'm here...for sure... Now I'm going to make sure that you are safe, and this time for good."

Courtney still couldn't believe that he was still here in front of her, she was feeling so many mixed up emotions she was confused on what to do. "Jason...I really needed you"

He still held her hand that was laid on his cheek. "I know you did...I don't really understand it but I could feel you...when we saw-saw the plane...I knew you weren't dead...I just could still feel you"

Courtney's bottom lip began to tremble as she took another look into he eyes. "I know what you mean...I've been having dreams where whenever I'm in danger...your always there...protecting me. I knew that you were coming from me. But I didn't know when..."

Jason nodded his head. "I'm here now...and I'm going to take you home." With saying so he gently, and as carefully as he could...reached down and picked Courtney's small form up...and into his arms, he felt her body stiffen at first when she was held within his arms, then slowly relax as she laid her head gently across his chest. Jason could kill A.J with his bare hands about now...Jason knew that just by seeing her marks...Courtney wasn't going to be the same person she was before she got on that plane.

He walked as quickly as he could to the black limo that was waiting outside for them, holding Courtney closer into her arms in hope that he wasn't hurting her. He managed to open up the one of the side doors to the limo, with Courtney still held protectively in his arms as he slide them both into the back seat of the car. "Marco...Let's head to the jet." Jason watched as the guard nodded his head from the driver's seat and stepped slowly on the gas pedal.

Jason laid Courtney across the seat; he rested her head gently on his lap, as he ran his hands through her hair softly. "Sonny's here...but he's going to meet us on the jet."

"He went after A.J...didn't he?" She already knew the answer.

"A.J's a dead man...he just build himself a grave after what he did to you." Jason felt anger rush through his veins, he knew that A.J hurt Courtney physically...but Jason didn't really know what A.J had done to Courtney. "He's going to pay for what he did to you Courtney, for using you like that."

Courtney raised her hand to his cheek. "Jase...look at me...please...I'm alright, I'm o.k...thanks to you if you didn't come to me I would've-"

"Don't say it..."He warned her, he didn't even want to think about how close he nearly came to losing her today. "I just made it in time Courtney." He allowed his fingers to continue to brush gently against her hair.

"Thank you Jase...Thank you for saving me" She managed to spread a slow smile across her face.

Jason shook his head. "Courtney...don't go there you know-"

"I just wanted to say it Jase...My heads pounding I don't want to hear one of your it's- my –job- kind of lectures." She giggled slightly "I know you Mr. Morgan"

He smiled back at her, only she cold make him smile like this. "I know you know me too well."

Silence hung the air as each of them got lost within some of their own personal memories of each other. Their thoughts were interrupted when the limo grew to a halt at the air strip where Sonny's jet was only a couple of meters away. "You think Sonny's here yet?"

Jason shrugged his shoulders. "Will soon find out though," He pulled her gently out of the limo and held her back into his arms where she cuddled close within his chest, he felt her shiver slightly. "Will get you warmed up when we get into the plane." Jason quickens his steps as he entered the jet he found Sonny sitting on one of the couches looking deep within his thoughts.

He was quickly shaken out of his thoughts when he saw his best friend holding his little sister. He jumped up from the couch.

"Here...she can lay here." He motioned to his seat on the couch, while Jason laid her down on the couch gently, Sonny quickly pulled a blanket from one of the cupboards within the jet and handed it to Jason who tucked the blanket on her.

Sonny tried not to look shocked at the bruises that A.J had left to mark on Courtney...his little sister. "Courtney are you alright?"

Courtney looked over at her older brother who held a look of concern for her, how was she going to tell them that she was never going to be alright anymore? A.J had done something so cruel...he took anyway her sense of security... He made her feel so useless...so...so hopeless. She couldn't remember ever feeling so petrified in all her life. She turned away from her brother's gaze. "I think I'll be o.k...really I do"

Sonny ran his fingers through is dark hair. "Courtney I know I haven't been much of a brother to you lately, and I can't apologies enough for the way I have been treating you. Your family, Your my little sister." He walked up to her and reached for her hand. "And I will always love you, regardless"

Courtney smiled up at her brother. "Thank you...it means a lot when you say that Sonny, really it does."

"Mark my words, A.J will pay for what he did to you, he may have gotten away from me once...but he won't again. He still out there somewhere but I have people looking for him he shouldn't be too far."

Jason felt a lump forming in his throat when she saw the look of fright spread across Courtney's face. "Courtney, you don't need to be afraid of A.J anymore...were going to protect you."

She could only nod at Jason.

Sonny sat down across from Courtney as well as Jason when they felt the jet leave the ground, to take them back home. He looked back down at his sister who looked like a child; she was pale which scared Sonny a little. "When we get back to Port Charles you're going to General Hospital...don't argue..."

Courtney signed knowing it was useless arguing against her brother. She felt a little bit o.k...a bit weak and sore but she tried not to focus on that, as she tried to focus on the set of blue eyes that belonged to Jason.

"Courtney I need to ask you something...It's really starting to bother me...and I need to know." Jason stated as he leaned close to her. "And I need you to be honest with me."

He waited a moment before he received a nod from her.

"Did A.J...Did he-did he rape you?" He was afraid for her to answer this question, as he waited for her to respond.

"I-I...To be honest with you Jase...and Sonny I honestly don't know what A.J did to me anymore" She bit her lip as the tears started to form in her eyes.
