Chapter 24

Jason sat there looking out the window thinking. He still couldn't believe that Courtney was gone. God they had gotten through so much to be together again, and now she was taken away from him again. His thoughts were interupted by a knock on the door. It opened to reveal his best friend. Carly walked over to Jason and put a comforting hand on his shoulder.

"Hey are you okay?" She asked quielty.

"Fine." He said sternly before turning around and walking over to the fireplace. Carly sighed and walked up behind him.

"Jason, you're not fine. Come on, I'm your best friend you can tell me anything." Carly said. Silence. He wasn't saying anything.

"Jason, it wasn't your fault." She said quietly.

Silence.

"Jason you didn't do anything..." Carly started to say, but was interupted by Jason. Something snapped inside him, and he sent all of the contents on the fireplace to the floor with a loud CRASH, and yelled, "YOUR RIGHT CARLY! I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING! SHE DIED BECAUSE I WAS TO STUPID TO REALIZE THAT HER AND MY CHILD WERE IN DANGER! BECASUE I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING... THAT IS THE REASON THEY ARE DEAD!" Jason yelled and then flipped the coffe table over, and then sent the mirror above the fireplace to the floor in pieces. He let out a couple of raggid breaths and then sunk to the floor, with Carly by his side. She pulled the distraught man into her embrace, and held onto him as he clung to her for dear life.

Courtney woke up to a jolt on the ship and went out on deck to see what it was. She smiled as she saw Lorenzo by the rail looking over at the water. She came up behind him and poked him playfully. He turned around and looked at her disheiveld, but still beautiful appearance.

"So what's going on down there?" She asked as she pointed over the rail and down on the dock.

"They are tieing up the ship to the dock." He said as he pointed to where he was talking about.

"Oh. Where are we?" She asked as she looked around.

"Spain." He said proudly. Courtney turned to look at him, but she froze as a flash of light blinded her and brought her back into time...

Flashback

Courtney: Oh. Anything. I don't care. I just like to be read to. And I love the sound of your voice. How are you doing? Ok?

Jason: Yeah, I'm -- i'm ok. Where would we go next?

Courtney: Oh, I don't know. I'm -- the only places I've ever been besides port charles are reno and atlantic city -- and the island that A.J. Took me to, so the rest of the world is wide open.

Jason: Spain.

Courtney: Ok. We'll go to spain. After we sail and learn how to scuba dive, we'll go to spain.

End Flashback

She shook her head at the memory, confused. She said something about AJ and about going to Spain and... then it hit her. Those eyes, that she was so familiar with. She recognized them. She was talking to him. God she was so confused. She looked back up at Lorenzo, and smiled weakly.

"Are you okay?" He asked, concern etching his features.

"Umm... yeah I'm fine." She asked un sure.

"Are you sure?" He asked, placing a piece of hair behind her ear that had fallen onto her face.

"Yeah. I'm just.. I'm thirsty. Can you get me a glass of water please?" She asked.

"Sure." He said before taking off to retrieve the water for her. She leaned over the reailing totally confused byt he memory. Who was that man? Why was she stuck in a car with him? He thoughts were interupted thought by Lorenzo handing her her water. She smiled gratefully and took a sip.

"Thanks." She said.

"Your welcome, but we are going to be getting off, so go get dressed, and I'll show you around."

"Okay. I can't wait." She said excitedly and gave him a quick peck on the cheek and went back into her room. He smiled after her, can't believing that she was here with him. He looked back over the water and sighed in contentment. He finally was going to have a family that he always wanted. Him, Courtney, and that baby were going to be happy, not having to worry about anything.
