Chapter 14:
Disclaimer: Still nothing.
A/N: I wanted to use thelyrics offour minutes for this chapter because well I really like the song andmost of itgoes with it so here you go. The song part is bold! If you havent heard the actual song you should.
Courtney didnt hear from Jason for a week. The only person she really talked to was Carly. She decided what she was going to do with her life and begging Jason for forgiveness wasnt one of them because she wasnt sorry for what she didnt so she wasnt going to say something she didnt mean. Jason picked up his phone and called her today. "Hello?" The other line said. "Hey its me." He said into the phone not knowing what she has been up too. "What do you want?" She asked shocked to finally hear his voice. "I want to talk to you." He said. "Too late. I decided to move out of Port Charles. Im packing my stuff now and I'll be leaving soon so you dont have much time." She said into the phone.
Hold Hold up Hold up
Slow slow down
Listen give me 10 minutes...
Well gimme 5 minutes...aight
b-before you leave I just need these last 4 minutes..
He was at a lost for words. He knew he had to say something and quick too if he wanted her to stay. He was speeding back to the penthouse to stop her from leaving. The thing was how was he going to do that.
Pardon me if I'm talking fast and stumbling all over my words
I heard you were leavin' town I thought I'd be the one to know first
If you have a minute let me talk to you and see what's going on
Don't say it's nothing when it's gotta be something that's gone wrong
Now let me explain but I don't know what to say cause I don't know what the hell happened
I come in the house to try to work it out and all you're doing is packing
Close your suitcase let me think straight
Damn what could be the reason?
Baby talk me I'm almost outta time
"Courtney just talk to me." Jason said. "Jason there is nothing to talk about. Im leaving town you dont want to be with me because of what happened and you know what? I accepted that. Im not going to beg you because thats not me. We are too different and we thought our love could overcome it but obviously it cant." She said. "I love you though doesnt that mean something?" He said. "I guess it doesnt." She said."Ilove you too and look where it got me." She said.
I only got 4 minutes to do what I gotta do to prove to you that I'm gonna do anything
Only got 4 minutes say what I gotta say to make you stay and show you that I done change
Cause in 4 minutes I'll never have my girl again
In 4 minutes Imma lose her to some other man
4 no less no more
I'm desperate 'cause the clock's ticking
Only got 4 minutes to go
"Jason why are you back here anyway? You havent been here all week. Not once did you call. Is that what love is to you?" She asked him. "Come on. You cant leave me." He said. "Oh I cant?" She said. "You dont have it in you Courtney. You cant run from my love." He said hoping this would make her stay." Jason, I never dreamed that you would leave me but you did. Now its my turn to do the same to you and Im not running either. What you did was run." She said looking at him.
Who are these people I don't know in my house and they scratching my floors
Takin' furniture outside and the U-Haul pull up to my door
What's the reason that I get this feelin' that you can't keep it real with me
Is it cause of the prime relationships I had off in the streets?
Never mind that this is your conscience speaking and you need to get your girl back
You gotta find a way to try to get to her heart
I'm takin' suggestions I've learned my lesson
Think conscience you're my last lifeline
I'm down to my last second
"Courtney come on!" Jason said over all the noise. These people must have been her friends that she was moving back home with. "Jason you had your chance. You lost it." She said as she walked out the door. "What is this really about?" He asked following behind her. "Its exaclty what you think it is." She said as she threw her suitcase in the car. "Its exaclty why you left the other day. Nothing has changed. Not a dman thing!" she said as she walked back into the house.
I only got 4 minutes to do what I gotta do to prove to you that I'm gonna do anything
I only got 4 minutes say what I gotta say to make you stay and show you that I done change (I'm a changed man)
Cause in 4 minutes I'll never have my girl again
In 4 minutes Imma lose her to some other man (I'll be all alone)
4 no less no more
I'm desperate 'cause the clock's ticking
Only got 4 minutes to go
"Cant we just talk about this?" Jason said. "I mean you didnt give me any kind of warning at all." He said. "Well you didnt give me any kind of warning when you were leaving and never coming home. Maybe if you were here we could've talked this out but its a little too late for that wouldnt you say?" She said. "Its never too late to fight for what we have." he said.
(I've done) I've done things in my past
I thought this love would last
But I can't let you go baby
You're my everything lady
The reason I smile and the reason I talk baby
The reason I breathe, the only one for me, yea
You can't go through with this
If you left me my life wouldn't exist
Cause I'm still in love with you
And that's my word I don't give a damn what you heard
Oh, baby I'll be true
"You see thats the thing though Jason. We dont have anything left to fight for. We have different out looks on things and if you get mad at me for trying to do the best I can then it'll never work. You cant change me just like I cant change you. I dont know what we were thinking when we thought this could actually work." Courtney said as she held back herself from just giving up and running into Jasons arms and let him hold her like he always did when things went bad. "I guess Sonny was right." She said as she was now holding her tears back.
I only got 4 minutes (echo)
And I'm running out of time
I only got 4 minutes (echo)
I only got 4 minutes
"Courtney I love you. I still do. What about the family we were planning on having?" He asked her trying to think of everything that would stop her. "Jason we cant survive as boyfriend and girlfriend what makes you think we can as husband and wife and raise a family?" She said looking at him. "I'll call and let you know all my appointments for the baby that way if you want to be a part of its life you can be. I wont hold that against you." She said as she grabbed the rest of her bags.
4 minutes I'll never have my girl again (I'll never have)
In 4 minutes (oh no) Imma lose her to some other man (Imma lose her)
4 (oo ho) no less no more (And I just can't take it I don't want it happen I won't let it happen)
Cause the clocks ticking
Only got 4 minutes to go (oh no)
"I wanna be there for you and the baby. I wanna raise this baby with you." he said as he held back the tears as she did the same. "Well its too late." She said as she walked out of the penthouse with the last of her things. "Its never too late Courtney. Come on. You have to atleast let me explain." He said. "Theres nothing to explain Jason. I already told you I will let you be a part of the baby's life. We will raise it as mother and father and nothing more." She said as he could see all the tears she was holding back. "I dont want to raise the baby as mother and father but as husband and wife. I want our kid to have their parents in love and happy." He said. "Im sorry. It doesnt work like that." She said as she got into her car. "We arent happy and as far as I can tell we arent in love." She said knowing this would hurt him even though she didnt mean it.
Only got 4 minutes to tell you everything I love about you
4 minutes to say I need you, I can't live without you
I'm out of time gotta say what's on my mind
Just to keep you in my life
Aw, damn I'm outta time
He watched her pull away. "What the hell am I going to do now?" He thought to hisself as he just let the tears go. He walked up to the penthouse and sat on the couch. "Nice going dumbass." He thought to hisslef. "You just let the best thing that ever happened to you leave." Courtney arrived back in Atlantic City and stayed with her best friend Mallory until she could find a place of her own. She wanted so bad to turn around and go back home to Jason but knew that things wouldnt change. Atleast for right now.
