Through Thick and Thin

Chapter 2

Courtney turned around.

"Oh it's you," she said.

"You have Jason; can't that be enough, why did you have to tell Sonny and Jason bad things about Ric when they aren't true?" Elizabeth said.

"I heard Ric and Faith talking about Jason and Sonny." Courtney said.

"You are lying, Ric isn't not involve with Faith, he wouldn't be," Elizabeth said.

"I know what I heard," Courtney said crossing her arms across her chest.

"It's wrong," Elizabeth agrued as she walked away from Courtney. Courtney then went and sat down, and tried to call Jason again, but there was no answer, she then left a message on his voice mail. Courtney then went up to Peggy.

"Peggy, do you think that you could cover the rest of my shift? I have a family problem,"

"Sure," Peggy said.

"Thanks! I owe you!" Courtney smiled. She then grabbed her jacket and was on her way out when she bumped into someone.

"Sorry, "she said as she looked up and saw that it was Carly.

"Oh hey. Sorry, I can't talk right now, I need to talk to Jason, and tell him everything that I heard," Courtney said as she started to walk away from Carly.

"Hold on! Wait," Carly said as she went up to Courtney. Courtney turned around.

"What, Carly? I need to talk to Jas. I heard that Ric is going to kill him and Sonny, I can't just stay here and do nothing, I have to tell Jason everything," Courtney said nervously.

"How did you hear all of this?" Carly asked as she and Courtney sat down. I don't have time for this, I need to go to Jason. Courtney thought to herself. Courtney looked at Carly, and realized that Carly was Sonny's wife and Ric was after Sonny too, so she deserved to know everything that she heard. Courtney took a deep breath before she spoke.

"I was helping a customer outside when I saw Ric and Faith talking together, so I decided to go and listen to what they were saying,"

"They didn't see you, didn't they?" Carly asked with large eyes. She knew that if Sonny found out that Courtney heard stuff that she shouldn't, he would be angry.

"No, I hid in the bushes," Courtney explained, as she got up from her seat.

"I have to go now, Carly, I'll see you later,"

"Wait, I'll come with you," Carly said as she got up from her seat, also.

"No, you don't have to, remember you have your doctor's appointment in a little bit."

"Yeah, I forgot," Carly said. Courtney started to walk away.

"Courtney" Courtney turned around. "Be careful,"

"I will," she said as she walked away from Carly.

Meanwhile at Ric's apartment, Ric was sitting on the couch when there was a knock at the door. He opened it, and smiled.

"Elizabeth," he said as he let her in his apartment.

"Ric is it true?" she asked as she sat down on the couch.

"Is what true?" asked a confused Ric as he sat down next to her.

"Do you want to hurt Jason and Sonny?" Elizabeth asked. Elizabeth looked at Ric, and could see that Courtney was wrong about everything.

"No, of course, not. Why would I?" said Ric as he leaned over and kissed Elizabeth.

"I thought she was lying," Elizabeth said.

"Who?" Ric questioned looking at Elizabeth.

"Courtney," Elizabeth said. Ric then got up from his seat

"I'm sorry, but I have to do an appointment that I have to go to,… but I won't be long, can you stay here?" Elizabeht nodded.

"Sure, "said Elizabeth as she watched Ric walked away. She couldn't believe that Courtney thought that Ric was going to kill Jason. She would say anything to make Ric into the bad man; she is dating the killer, not me. At least Ric doesn't kill people for a living.

Courtney went to Sonny's penthouse to see if Jason and Sonny were there, but Johnny told her that they just gone out for a business, so she decided to go home and tell Jason everything when he got home. Courtney was putting her keys in the door when she felt a hand on her shoulder and she turned around and saw Ric standing in front of her. She looked at him in horror. Doesn't he know that I know? She thought to herself.

"What do you want?" she asked. Ric looked at Courtney; he needed to get rid of her, before his whole plan was ruined.

"I hear you are telling bad things about me to Elizabeth," Ric said with an evil grin. Courtney's heart started to beat really fast.

"I haven't said anything to your girlfriend about you, if you haven't notice by now, me and Elizabeth doesn't like each other.

"Well. Okay then," said Ric as he started to walked away from her. Courtney then walked into her loft, suddenly she felt something hit her on the head and then everything went black.
