This picks up were we left off:
Chapter 16:
"Oh my god! I still cant believe you came to see me after you said that you werent." She said as she hugged him tighter. "Well-" He started saying as he looked up and saw a man standing there. Courtney turned a her head around. It was Nikolas. "Nikolas." she said. "I thought you were out of town." she said breaking away from the guy."Well I was but I came back early to see you but obvisously you dont need me no more." "What?" she said. "Well I mean you have somebody else now." He said looking at the guy behind her. "No!" she said walking towards him. "I can explain this. It is not what you think. He-" "I dont care who he is and what you have to say. I'm done. Its over."he said cutting her off "Look-" The guy started saying as Nikolas walked away. Tears filled up in Courtneys eyes as she went and sat on the bench. She began crying. The guy walked over to her and sat beside her. "I take it that was Nikolas." he said. Her hands covered her face as she was still crying. "What gave it away. Him being mad or the fact that I said Nikolas?" she asked him still not looking at him. "Listen. Dont cry. No guy is worth your tears and obvisouly it wasnt a strong as you thought." She just shook her head. "Ryan. I love him and I know that he loves me and he doesnt usually act like this he is just being an ass." "Are you sure because I dont want you with anyone who would hurt you." "Okay two things Nikolas would never hurt me and as of right now we arent together. Lets go." she said as she got up from the bench wiping her tears and smearing her eye make up. "Where are we going?" he asked. "To my place. Its late and I will deal with everything that happened later."
Nikolas went over to Lucky's to pick up Nathan. He had dropped Nathan off with Lucky early so he could spend time with Courtney but that was over. "Hey." Lucky said as he opened the door. "I thought you werent coming until tomorrow to get Nathan?" He asked his brother. I was but I need to talk to you. "Okay?" Lucky said as they sat down. "Whats wrong?" "Courtney and I are over." he said trying not to look at his brother. "Wait. What do you mean over? What happened?" "Well I went to see her and I ran to her on the dock and told her it was over." He said leaving a few parts out and his brother knew this. "Okay now fill me in on what happened." "Well she was on the dock with some other guy and I got mad and told her it was over." "Oh. So she was cheating?" "Yup." "Oh. Has she tried calling you?" he asked. "Yea shes actually calling me now." he said hold his phone up and watching the lights go off." "Your not going to answer it?" "Nope. Anyway. Do you think that you could keep Nathan and just drop him off to me tomorrow by noon?" "Yea. Hey for what its worth. I'm sorry. I was hoping you and Courtney would have lasted." "Yea your not the only one. I was too." he said as he walked out the door.
Courtney had given up on calling Nikolas that night and hasnt called him since. Two days have passed since the big blow out on the dock. Nobody knew what was going on except Lucky and Elizabeth and she only knew because Lucky told her.
Elizabeth walked into Kelly's to get the food she order on her break from the hospital. "Hey Mike." "Hey Elizabeth. How are you." "Good." she wanted to know who the other guy was and getting it out of Mike was her best chance. "Have you seen Courtney lately?" she asked. "Yeah. I stopped by and saw her and Ryan earlier. Which reminds me. Is there something going on with her and Nikolas? She seemed upset but didnt say anything when I asked her and I saw Nikolas and Nathan and he looked just as bad as her so I asked but he didnt say anything either."he asked her. "I dont know but who is Ryan?" she was getting answers. "He is her half brother by her mom. He came to visit." "Oh. I didnt know Courtney had a brother besides Sonny." "Yea except this one is younger. Hes only 17 and is still in school." "Oh." she said. She realized that Nikolas made a mistake.A big one." Well I got to get going but I'll talk to you later." she said grabbing the bag and walking out the door
She went back to the hospital and ate her food. As soon as she went back on the clock one of the nurses told her that Nikolas had brought Nathan in. She went and seen Nikolas. "Hey." she said as she opened the door. "Hey." "Whats wrong with him?" she asked. "I dont know. He wont eat or drink for me and I cant get him to lay down and he was like this when we went and seen family Sunday and thats part of the reason I came back early." "Oh. Well, I'll be back in a few." she said. She knew what was wrong with him. She made her way back to the nurses station and picked up the phone. "Hey Courtney. It's Elizabeth." she said as the other line got picked up. "I was calling to tell you that Nikolas brought Nathan into the hospital and I think you should come see him." She listen to Courtney speak and then hung up.
Ten minutes later Courtney was there. "Hey where is he?" she asked Elizabeth. "Follow me." She took her to his room. "Listen thanks for calling me after everything that has happened this week." "No problem and besides I know Ryan is you younger brother." she said as she walked away. Courtney twisted the door knob and walked in. Nikolas just looked at her. He knew Elizabeth had called her. He missed her but didnt want to go down that road again. "Hey." she said to Nathan who was sitting on his dad lap. She sat in the chair next to his. She couldnt believe that she sat that close to him after everything that just happened. Nathan reached his arms out for Courtney to grab him. She grabbed the little boy from his dad and held him. He laid his head on her shoulder as she rubbed his back. He started drifting off into sleep. Nikolas couldnt believe it. Actually he could. He knew Nathan was close to Courtney.
Ten minutes had passed and the room was silent. "Is he sleeping?" Courtney said low enough for Nikolas to hear. "Yea." he said. Courtney got up and walked over with Nathan in her arms still and placed him on the bed. The doctor came in as soon as she was done. "Okay." he said. "I'm going to wait outside." she told Nikolas. He nodded his head. "Im just going to examen him real quick." The doctor told Nikolas. "Okay. Well I'll be waiting outside." Nikolas told the doctor. "Okay no problem." Nikolas walked out into the hallway and saw Courtney standing there.
"Whats wrong?" she asked. "They dont know yet. I take it Elizabeth called you." he said tryin not to make eye contact. "Yea she did. I guess you were being an ass like the other day." she said pissed off. "What? How was I being the ass today or the other day."He replied trying hard not to yell but with an attitude "Well today you didnt call me and tell me Nathan was sick. I know that we arent together or whatever but that doesnt mean that I dont care about Nathan." she said looking at him. "And the other day?" he said. "The other day you would let me explain." She said. "Explain what?" "Explain what you saw because obvisouly what you saw and what was really going on was two totally different things but fine whatever I dont want to argue with you anymore we did that enough." she didnt want to argue with him anymore especially in the hospital but it was too late. "Fine. Explain away now." he said raising his voice. "Why should I?" she asked him getting louder than him. "So I know what really was going on. Even though I know what was going on." "You dont." she said annoyed that he still wouldnt let her explain." Ryan-" she started to say. "Well atleast we know your boyfriend has a name." he said. She threw him a dirty look at this point. "Ryan is not my boyfriend!" She said as quietly as she could but she was too pissed to be quiet." What you saw was totally the opposite. Ryan is my younger brother." She said looking at him.He just stood there for a minute taking in everything she had just told him "How come you never told me you had a younger brother?" he asked her. He was now a little calmer."When I moved to Port Charles and had met you, me and Ryan werent on speaking terms he disowned me and I disowned him." she said. "Thats why I couldnt go with you and Nathan. He was coming to visit me and we had just started talking again about a month ago when I called my mom and he answered.I wanted you to meet him in person and just not know about him and I didnt tell you he was coming in because then you wouldnt have went to see your family and then I would have felt bad." She told him. He felt like an ass now and was pretty much speechless. "Oh." was all he said.
"Mr. Cassidine?" the doctor asked interuppting their arguement.He heard their argument along with a lot of other people. "Yea?" "Its nothing to serious but its also nothing I can do to fix it. Im pretty sure Nathan is home sick."He stated just looking at the two of them on opposites of the hallway."How? He's home now?" he asked the doctor. "Well see thats where most people mess up. Just because he is home sick doesnt mean his misses his home it could also mean that he misses someone or something. If he wakes up and wont go back to sleep just give him some tylenol." he said. "Im going to go get his papers for you." The doctor said as he walked away.
The two of them just stood there looking at each other. "Im going to go." she said as she began walking passed Nikolas. "No wait." he said grabbing her arm gently. "I wanna say Im sorry." he said looking at her. "No need to. I know that our love wasnt strong enough and that its over now so let me just go home." She told him knowing it would hurt him but she didnt care. She wanted him to feel the way she did when he told her it was over."Courtney let me just say what I have to say. I know I hurt you but I'm not done. You were right. I was an ass the other day and today for not calling you or letting you explain what happened." "I know." she said looking at him. "I love you Courtney and I didnt want to take the chance of my heart breaking and thats why I acted the way I did." He said as he pulled her closer to him." I love you and I want you to forgive me for the way I acted because I want to be with you." he said looking at her pushing the peice of hair in her face behind her ear. He saw that her eyes were filled with tears. "Nikolas I love you and want to be with you too but you gotta trust me and let me explain." she said as tears flowed down her face. " I do and I promise that I will get better." he said as his arms were now wrapped around her waist. "Do you forgive me?" he asked her by whispering in her ear. "Yes I forgive you." she said wrapping her arms around his neck hugging him as she missed being with him and him holding her like he use to.
"Here are you papers" the doctor said as Courtney and Nikolas broke apart. "Thanks." "No problem. Drive safe." he said as he walked away. "You wanna get Nathan?" he asked Courtney "Sure." she said as they walked back into his room. "Are you coming home with me or going back to your house?" He asked her. "Im going home to my house and you and Nathan are coming with me." she said. "Are you sure that its a good idea being what happened and everything and your brother being there?" he asked her. "Yea im sure he's sleeping anyway but I cant leave him there and besides I'll talk to him tomorrow when we all get up." she said as she picked the little boy up. "You want me to take him in my car while you sign him out?" she asked. "Yea sure."
They walked out and Courtney went ahead to put Nathan in the car. "Can I see Elizabeth?" he asked one of the nurses. "Yes hold on." she said as she went and paged her. "Hey. How is Nathan?" she asked when she came up. "Good getting better by the moment. He was home sick." "I knew what was wrong with him." she said looking at him. "Yea I figured you did and I want to thank you for calling Courtney I know that you's dont get along or whatever but thanks." "I found out who Ryan was on my break and besides I know how much you love Courtney and I think you should be with her and that you should've let her explain." "Thanks.And you right I should of. I was just being an ass" he said. "But listen I got to and Nathan are waiting" he said giving her a hug. "Talk to you later." She said as he walked away.
They got back to her loft and they walked in.She told him to be very quiet. Nikolas was carrying Nathan who was still asleep as Courtney unlocked her door. "Alright." she said as they made there way in. Ryan was passed out on the couch." He looks peaceful.A lot peaceful compared to the other night." Nikolas said looking at him. "Yeah he does.That was just his temper you saw. Now lets go before we wake him." she said back to him. They made there way over to her bed. "Let him sleep in the bed or do you want me to get the pack-n-play?" She asked Nikolas. "Just let him sleep in the bed." He told her laying him in the middle of the bed. She slept on the right of Nathan that night as Nikolas slept on the left.She drifted asleep not worrying to much about what was going to happen between her brother and Nikolas tomorrow even though she knew that ten to one it wouldnt be good.
