Chapter 15

Next Morning:

Jason tried to get out of bed without waking Courtney. She looked so peaceful. He was almost at the door when BAM his big toe ran right into the dresser.

"Damn it" he screamed

"What happened?" Courtney shot up.

"I stubbed my toe" he stated clearly embarrassed.

"Jason you screamed like a girl" she said in between giggles.

"Your really funny" he said sarcastically.

"I know and now that you have woken my up I'll assume your making me breakfast."

"You know what they say about assuming!" he joked

"I'll choose to ignore that comment and I'll have eggs. Thanks!" she said while walking into the bathroom.

It was almost twelve when Olivia got home. She decided to just come clean about going out last night because she couldn't lie to Jason and he wouldn't believe that their pillow fight got out of hand.

"Jason I'm home" she shouted while putting her duffle bag by the stairs.

"I'm in the kitchen" she very slowly walked in to the kitchen. Courtney was the first to notice her.

"Ohh my god…Olivia what happened?" Jason turned away from the stove when he heard Courtney speak. As soon as he saw her face he thought it was one of his enemies using Olivia as a message.

"Did you see who did this do you? Was it one of my enemies?" Olivia felt really guilty Jason thought this was his fault.

"Jason it's not what you think" she looked down unable to look either of them in the eye.

"You can tell me, whatever they said to you I'll protect you"

"Jason I got into a fight" she still wasn't looking at them.

"With Natalie?" This was the only explanation he could think of because she was supposed to be at Natalie's all night.

"If by Natalie you mean Megan Keller then yes is was definitely Natalie" she always tried to make a joke when she was nervous.

"Is that the Megan you and Natalie are always talking about?" Courtney was usually the one who brought them home from school and to the foundation for work so she got all the gossip.

"Yeah, look just lemme just explain everything. Then you can yell all you want and trust me your gonna yell" Jason stayed quiet to let her finish "Every year there is an end of the football season party and Natalie and I really wanted to go so we snuck out and went. Megan pushed me and said somethings she shouldn't have and I couldn't help myself. Next thing you know were full on fighting." Jason clenched his fists not because he was mad but because she was reckless.

"Do you have any idea what could have happened to you? Are you trying to repeat what happened two weeks ago?" he was trying to keep his voice down. "There is a reason for the rules Olivia and if you can't follow them then you won't go out at all"

"I don't go out anyway I'm like a hermit" her teenage attitude coming out with every word. "I get that I have to have a guard but Jason I want to have a life"

"Then maybe you should think before you do things like sneaking out and getting into fights"

"Ohh right because if I had asked you if I could go you would have let me."

"This is the life we live you cannot go out without a guard and you broke that rule so your in for the next two weeks School-Work-Home."

"Sounds like my life anyway" she walked out the doorway and stomped up the steps.

"I'm going to talk to her Jason" he shook his head and went back to the stove. This was his first fight with Olivia and it was tearing him up inside. He wanted to have a great father-daughter relantionship with Olivia.

Olivia's Room:

"Olivia can I come in?" Courtney gently knocked on the door. Her, Olivia, and Carly had gotten really close over the past three weeks. They didn't treat Olivia like a little girl but rather a young woman.

"Yeah" Olivia was laying on her stomach with her face in her pillow.

"Sweetie you wanna talk about it" She slowly rose from the bed and sat with her legs dangling over her huge bed.

"I really love being here with Jason but sometimes I just want to be able to go out without a guard." Courtney took a seat next to Olivia "And last night the opportunity arose and I couldn't pass it up. This was going to the party of the year and I really wanted to go."

"You think I don't understand. I hate being followed 24/7 but as much as I hate it I love Jason a million times more"

"But Courtney you're a grown woman and if Max goes out somewhere with you for all anyone knows he could be your husband but when he goes out with me everyone assumes he's like my dad or babysitter. "

"Point well taken maybe we could talk to Jason about a younger guard but you might want to apologize and do a little sucking up first."

"I'll think about it…. but Court you would have been so proud of me, I kicked that girls ass. Those kick boxing moves worked like a charm"

"Olivia those moves were for emergencies only not just to hit someone because you don't like them"

"It was an emergency and I didn't have any intention of hitting her until she started talking about Jason, then I let her have it"

"What did she say?" Olivia gave Courtney the run though of the whole night. When she finished Courtney gave Olivia a big hug and went back downstairs.

Kitchen:

"What did she say?" Before Courtney was even though the door he asked. He thought for sure Olivia hated him.

"Nothing important except she got in the fight because she was defending you which I think is adorable"

"What do you mean she was defending me?" Courtney repeated everything that Olivia told her.

"Not that I think she should be getting into fights but I guess I'm kind of flattered"

"You should be flattered Jase…that girl loves you and your like a dad to her" Jason wouldn't have gone that far.

"I doubt it after that fight she probably hates me"

"Jason I got into fights with my Mom all the time when I was a teenager that's what kids and parents do they fight and disagree but they never hate each other. Trust me."

"I do trust you" he wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her sweetly but then if turned into something else much quicker. Courtney pulled away much to Jason's dismay.

"I have to ask you something"

"Anything?" he was still holding her around the waist.

"I kind of told Olivia that you would try and get her a younger guard because then she can out like a regular girl but still be protected. Would you even consider it?"

"That actually sounds like a good idea."

Spoiler:The new guard is HOT HOT HOT!!
