Ric fell to the ground with a bullet in his head. "Jason thank God." Courtney ran into his arms.
"Courtney I was so worried." He kissed her forehead. Sonny and the men came running into the hallway.
"Is everyone okay?" Sonny gave his sister a quick hug. Then turned his attention to Olivia. She was just standing there with the gun at her side. Jason and Courtney were so wrapped up in themselves they had forgotten about her.
"Olivia are you okay?" Jason stepped in front of her and put his hands on her shoulders. She just stared at him. Her eyes were filled with fear.
"Yeah..umm sure I'm alright" she was lying; the tears were coming any second now. Jason knew she was lying, he pulled he into a tight hug. That's when she let it out. "Jason I was so scared. He was going to shoot me. If you hadn't been here he would have killed me and Courtney" Jason felt her tears on his shirt, she was sobbing.
"It's okay I'm here and I'm going to take you home" she nodded her head. He picked up her petite body and they all walked out to the car. Courtney was in awe of Jason. He had only known Olivia a week and you would have thought he was her father.
Sonny pulled Max aside "Clean this place up"
"Yes sir"
Jason held Olivia the whole way home while Courtney stroked her hair and gave her a few reassuring words. They looked like a family the protective father, the loving mother, and their scared daughter.
"Olivia you were so brave." Courtney was truly amazed with the young girl in front of her. These few hours had been hell and this was her first breakdown besides the minor one her and Courtney had earlier.
"So were you" she mumbled.
"You both were" Jason was so proud of the two girls.
Sonny quickly agreed. "Definitely"
Harborview Towers:
"I'm going fill Carly in on everything. She going to be pissed we didn't tell her." Jason nodded. He knew Carly would go nuts. Odds are she'd be at his penthouse once Sonny told her. "Courtney you're going to stay at my place right?"
"Sure" she wished she could stay at Jason's.
"No wait.. Jason can Courtney stay with us please? I really need her" she did want Courtney to stay but mostly because Courtney had a promise to keep.
"If she wants to" Jason wanted to ask Courtney to stay but thought it would be weird.
"Of course"
"Okay well that's settled, I'll see you guys later. Jason we'll discuss this tomorrow"
"Yeah" Sonny gave the girls tight hugs then went home.
PH2:"You guys hungry?" it was about 7 o'clock and they hadn't eaten all day.
"Yes" they said in unison.
"Chinese please" Olivia had Chinese 4 out of the 7 nights she was in Port Charles.
"Again?" she shook her head quickly. "The usual?" he received the same nod. "What about you Courtney, still like the Sesame Chicken?"
"Yeah" she enjoyed knowing Jason still remembered her favorite. She watched him call the Restaurant.
"I programmed it as speed dial 7" Courtney laughed at Olivia's comment.
"Number 4 is Kelly's and 5 is Al's Pizza" both girls laughed hysterically. Jason hung up and was confused as to what could have Courtney and Olivia laughing so hard.
"What's so funny?"
"You" Olivia pointed at him.
"Me?" this caused both girls to laugh harder.
Courtney noticed how lost he was so she figured she'd explain "We were just discussing the speed dials on the phone, how like everyone is a take out place."
"So basically you were laughing because I can't cook"
"Yep!" Olivia was finally composing herself when she heard a pounding on the door.
"Open this door" Carly was screaming she needed to see her best friend and her new best friend. Jason opened it and Carly ran directly to the girls.
"Are you two okay? Sonny told me what happened. Just give my hug" both girls hugged Carly.
"Carly were okay. Stop worrying" Courtney didn't want to get back into this; Olivia was now in a good mood considering the day she had.
"I will not stop worrying. Those two men are nuts. All I have to say is Thank God; one down one to go"
"Carly can we please not talk about this today. How about you come back for breakfast or we'll go to Kelly's" Olivia just wasn't ready to talk about this.
"Okay but I love you guys. So give me one more hug" They joined for a group hug. Afterwards she walked to the door where Jason was standing
"Hey Jase.. I didn't even see you. Did you just get down here?" both girls couldn't help but giggle.
"Carly I let you in"
"Opps I didn't even notice. Sorry" she gave him hug and walked out.
"So I'm going to change my clothes Courtney do want me to get you some PJ's?" Olivia wanted to give them so alone time.
"Thanks that would be great" She walked up the stairs after hearing Courtney's response.
"Courtney I know you probably don't want to talk about today and I understand but I just want to thank you for trying to get her out of there"
"Jason it wasn't my plan, us getting out was all Olivia"
"What?" he was shocked, he just figured Courtney came up with the plan.
"Yeah Jason she was so brave, she told me her plan and it would have worked but we got a little loud on the steps and that's when Ric stopped us"
"Wow so what was the plan?"
"I'll let Olivia explain. It was her plan."
"Okay but listen I'm really glad your okay. I was so scared when Sonny told me they had you too."
"Jason I'm okay" she put her hand on his cheek and he put his over it. They both scared into each other's eyes. Their faces were inching closer and closer.
"Courtney I don't know if these will fit but" Courtney and Jason jumped back as soon as they heard Olivia. "Opps don't even look at me I'm going back upstairs" she kicked herself for messing up their moment. She ran upstairs before they could protest.
"So where were we?" Jason grabbed Courtney's face and pulled her in for a passionate kiss. Neither wanted this moment to end. A few seconds later they pulled apart. They stood there breathing heavy and foreheads touching.
"Jason I've missed you so much" he kissed her forehead and led her to the couch. He sat across from her on the couch. Neither noticed Olivia hiding on the stairs with the phone in her hands.
"Carly yeah they kissed" she whispered into phone.
"Courtney I want us to try again. Today made me realize I need you in my life. The last year and a half without you has killed me." Courtney's eyes were starting to water.
"Jason I want to try again too but we have to go slow because I want this to work. Okay?"
"Whatever you want" they kissed again this time more passionate then before if that was even possible.
"YESS!!" they both looked up to see Olivia jumping out and down and talking into the phone. "Carly they're getting back together." Jason got up off the couch and walked to the steps.
"Is there a problem Jason?" she asked innocently.
"Gimme the phone" she handed him the phone. "Bye Carly" and with that he hung up.
"So is the Chinese here? I'm just starved" she said while rubbing her stomach and clearly trying to change the subject.
"What did I tell you about ease dropping" he tried to sound as serious as possible.
"I don't remember" she shrugged her shoulders and putting her hands in the air.
"How I about I refresh your memory" he ran to the platform of the steps and grabbed Olivia. She was hysterically laughing. Jason threw her over his shoulder. He started to walk down the stairs. Courtney was sitting on the couch laughing. "Are you sure you can't remember?"
She was laughing so hard she couldn't even answer. He put her down next to Courtney and they both started tickling her. "Okay, okay I remember. I remember"
"I knew it would come to you"
"But seriously Jason you have me to thank for this. Normally I don't like to brag but this reconciliation all me."
"And how is that?" he put his hands on his hips and tilted his head.
"Well it all started out with Operation Lovebirds" Courtney laughed and Jason just shook his head. "Carly helped with that one"
"Why am I not surprised"
"Then the little accident at Courtney's made you to spend the night together at the hospital."
"Ohh so that night you got drunk and fell for so me and Courtney could get back together"
"You know what mean now if you'll stop interrupting I'll continue. Then I gave Courtney my 'you only live once' speech and then she promised she'd consider a reconciliation. So the thank you's can start any second now"
"Thank you so much what would we do with out you" Courtney praised her sarcastically.
"One day the thank you's will come"
"I wouldn't bet on it" Jason earned himself a playful slap for that comment.
There was then a knock on the door.
"I'll get it..It's probably Will anyway" Courtney looked confused.
"Whose Will?" she whispered to Jason.
"You'll see"
Olivia opened the door and the Chinese food deliveryman was there. "Hey Will. How much do we owe you?" Courtney couldn't help but laugh; Olivia knew the delivery by name.
"$18.90" she handed him the money and took the bag of food
"Thanks Will. See you soon"
