"Emily." She said holding out her hand.
"Nikolas." He replied to the brunette.
"See Nikolas. That wasnt so bad. Give it time and you'll be in love." Helena said.
"Isnt it kind of hard to be in love with two different people?" Nikolas asked his grandmother.
"Oh Nikolas. Stop that nonsense now!" Helena said putting his feelings off.
Nikolas just let out a huff and walked away.
"Where do you think you are going?" Helena asked him.
"To my room." He said looking at her.
"Are you going to show Emily around? Dont forget the party for your engagement is tonight!" Helena said
"I'll make sure Im asleep." Nikolas said as he walked up the steps and shut his door.
"Now dear." Helena said walking over to her.
"Do you have a dress to wear or do you need one?" She finished. "I have one." Emily responded.
"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Emily asked Helena.
"Its perfect!" She replied.
"Besides my grandson is just being a little moody lately. Trying to fool everyone and make us believe that he actually loved that American girl." Helena said with an evil smile.
"Come on Courtney!" Carly exclaimed.
"Mmm?" Courtney asked as she moved her head on her pillow.
"Look you are not going to waste another day." Carly said.
"I just got home yesterday." Courtney replied rubbing her eyes and sitting up.
"Yeah but you've been in your bed since yesterday." Carly answered.
"Baby girl I know you are hurting but moping around isnt going to change anything." Carly finished.
"Yes it does. It lets you cry." Courtney said looking at her as her eyes filled up with more tears.
"Look do you want to go see this boy?" Carly asked her.
"What!" Courtney exclaimed.
"Yeah. We can be on the next flight to Greece." She finished.
Courtney laughed. "No thanks. I'll pass." She answered.
"Fine Im going then!" Carly said as she got off of Courtney's bed and walked out of the room. An hour later they were at the air port.
"I can not believe I let you talk me into this." Courtney said as they made their way to gate twenty seven.
"Oh please! If you didn't want to come then you wouldnt haven came!" Carly exclaimed.
"You really want to get your man back thats why you came." Carly said .
"Okay first off he's not my man." Courtney answered.
"Okay. You said he lied to you. I never asked what about but now I am. What did he lie to you about?" Carly asked curiously.
"His-" Courtney was trying to think of a subtle way to say it.
"His occupation or his place in life." Courtney said.
"Okay what was the lie and what was the truth?" Carly asked.
"Thats the part that I dont want to get into right now!" Courtney exclaimed.
"Fine but you do know that Im going to find out right?" Carly asked her.
"Yes this I do know." Courtney exclaimed as how was she suppose to go to a country and not find out he's the prince of it?
They arrived a few hours later or how ever long it takes to get to Greece from the non-existent city of Port Charles.
"Okay so we are staying in some kind of hotel. We have an hour to get ready before the big party thats going on." Carly finished.
"What big party?" Courtney asked her.
"I dont know. Some big party that a whole lot of people will be at so you are more then likely going to find him there." Carly answered with a big grin.
"I dont know Carly." Courtney said looking at her.
"Come on. Just wear your little black dress and the rest will follow. Besides if you dont find him there are tons of other Greek boys." Carly said as Courtney laughed at her.
"You are so stupid!" Courtney exclaimed.
"No you are for letting this wonderful and fantastic man that you were so head over heels for go!" Carly shouted back at her as Courtney just looked at her.
Maybe Carly was right for once. She cant believe she just thought that!
They arrived at the party and walked in.
Courtney looked around and still didn't spot him but that was because he was still upstairs and didn't plan on coming down.
She had been there for ten minutes and several Greek guys had approach her.
She smiled at them but wasnt paying to much attention.
There was one guy on her mind and none of these were him.
"Found him yet?" Carly asked.
"I dont think he's here." Courtney replied holding back tears.
"Yo you have got to come downstairs." his best friend said walking through the door.
"Why? The wedding is going to be a sham and thats if there is even going to be a wedding." Nikolas responded looking at the one person he thought he could always count on to be there for him but thats when it hit.
He lost the one person he ever cared so much for not to long ago.
"Well free drinks for one. Two the party is about to start and three I heard there was a pretty hott American downstairs." His friend said laughing.
"I have yet to see her but I heard that she was smoking." He said smiling.
"You said American right?" Nikolas asked him.
"Yeah." His friend replied.
"Do you know what she looks like? Name? Anything?" Nikolas asked him.
"Naw dude. I told you I have yet to see her." His best friend replied. "Why?" He finished.
"Let's go downstairs." Nikolas said standing up.
"Wait you are thinking about getting the American are you? Emily is cute how can you do that to her? She's sweet too." His friend replied as they walked out the door.
"Yeah?" Nikolas asked him.
"Yeah." His best friend replied.
"You marry her then." Nikolas said all seriously as they made their way down the steps.
"Where is she at?" Nikolas asked looking at his friend.
He shrugged his shoulders because he didn't have a clue.
"Hello Courtney." A guy said walking up behind her. She jumped.
"Hello." She replied right after she hesitated.
"I didn't know you were coming to the party." he said looking at her.
"Yeah Im looking for Nikolas. Do you know where he is?" She asked him.
He looked at her for a moment before speaking.
"Courtney Im not going to lie to you but do you know what this party is for and for who?" Stefan asked her knowing this was going to break her and make her hurt even more then she probably already was.
"No what and how does she know you?" Carly asked walking up behind Courtney.
"Im Nikolas's uncle." Stefan answered.
"Oh. So whats this party for?" Carly asked.
"Its for Nikolas isnt it?" Courtney asked him as he nodded his head.
She held back tears because she knew the next part couldn't be any better.
"Its an engagement party." Stefan said quietly as Nikolas now stopped Courtney and his uncle talking.
He began making his way over to them.
"What!" Carly exclaimed.
"Courtney honey obviously it wasnt love." Carly said hugging her.
"Thats not true. The marriage is an arranged one." Stefan said looking at her.
"Who does those anymore?" Carly said with a weird look on her face.
"Carly we have to go." Courtney said as she began walking away and grabbing Carly's hand.
"Can I take this glass with me?" Carly asked Stefan holding up the champagne glass in her hand.
"Yes you may." He said as he heard Nikolas yelling.
"Courtney wait!" He said as he got closer to them.
"What did you say to her?" Nikolas asked angerly to Stefan.
"I told her the truth out front because for once I thought she deserved it instead of more lies." Stefan said walking away.
Nikolas just looked at his uncle.
He was so confused on who's side he was on.
He shook his head and then made his way outside.
"Courtney!" He yelled as he saw the blonde and brunette in sight.
"Somebody is calling your name." Carly said as she turned around and so did Courtney.
"Oh god." She said silently.
"Nikolas?" Carly asked with a smile.
"How'd you guess?" Courtney asked her.
"He's cute babe." Carly said shaking her head.
"You can love him for me then." Courtney said as she turned around and began walking away.
"Where are you going?" Carly asked her.
"Courtney wait!" Nikolas said walking past Carly.
"Hi." he said when he did. He grabbed her by the hand so she couldn't go much father.
"What?" she exclaimed as she turned around.
"Why are you here?" He asked her.
"Because Im stupid." She said looking at him.
"You are not." He replied.
"No obviously you are though." She said before turning away.
"What?" He asked her.
"If you dont know why Im here then obviously I wasted my time which I did anyway." Courtney shot back at him.
"I cant stop thinking about you!" He yelled after her.
"We all have things that we cant stop thinking about but we dont let it get in the way of life." She said looking at him.
"Just stay a little bit longer for me." Nikolas said pleading his case.
"No thanks. Im hurting enough and besides Cinderella had to leave the ball at twelve as well." Courtney said looking at the clock and walking away.
"Courtney!" Nikolas shouted as somebody shouted his name.
All three of them turned around as the other brunette made her way down the steps.
"Eww. Who's this skanky bitch." Carly said out loud not meaning to say it as loud as she said it.
"Im Emily. Nikolas's fiancé." Emily said looking at her. "And you are?" Emily asked.
"Carly. The girl who is about to become your worst fucking nightmare." Carly said.
"Hold this Court. I didn't take it to break." Carly said trying to hand Courtney the glass.
"Lets go Carly." Courtney said grabbing her arm instead.
"Courtney wait. I dont love her. I love you." Nikolas said as he began to follow her as soon as somebody grabbed her arm.
"If this is going to work you cant chase her." Emily said.
"Im not marrying you regardless of what anyone says or do. Im marrying Courtney." Nikolas said looking at her.
"Well you must not have understood me then." Emily said as her grip got harder on him.
"Im not backing out of this engagement and neither will you because if you do all your funds and title will be out the window so it looks like Im your last hope." Emily said with a smile.
"More like the grim reaper." Nikolas responded as he stopped looking at her and tried finding Courtney but she was now out of sight.
"Lets go enjoy the party." Emily said pulling him into the house.
A week had past since that night.
Courtney was sitting on the couch with a blanket wrapped around her as their was a knock on the front door.
She went over to answer it. "What do you want?" She asked him.
"I heard you got home from Paris early." The guy responded.
"Yeah and?" Courtney asked him.
"I thought maybe we could give us another shot? I love you Courtney and I want to be with you." He said looking at her.
"Jason." She began to say.
"Before you say no just give us another chance." He said back to her before pulling her into a kiss.
She pulled away. "I guess we can try again." She said looking at him.
"You wanna go out or are you busy?" He asked her.
"No Im not busy." She replied as she let him inside the house.
A month had passed since that time.
Things were finally turning around and for once Courtney could actually smile and mean it when she was with Jason.
He walked in the house and handed her roses.
"Happy birthday baby." he said as he handed them to her.
"Awww you remembered." She said back to him.
"I wouldnt forget your birthday. Why would you even think that?" He asked her.
"I dont know." She replied back to him as she placed them in a vase.
"Wow! Who are these flowers from?" Jason asked admiring the pink, orange and yellow ones. Six of each to be exact in one vase.
"Oh I dont know." She responded.
"Ready?" he asked.
"Yup." She replied as she grabbed her purse and headed out the door with Jason.
She shut the door behind her and walked to the car.
Two hours later and there was a knock at they same front door.
"Hello?" The guy said looking at the other person.
"Hey!" Carly said looking at him.
"I swear I had nothing to do with that girls disappearance!" Carly exclaimed as Sonny just looked at her confused.
"She's not missing. Is Courtney here?" He asked them.
"She's out." Carly responded.
"Oh." Nikolas said.
"You can wait for her though if you would like." Carly responded.
"Um sure." Nikolas said looking at her.
"Do we know him?" Sonny asked Carly quietly.
"Yes we do." Carly replied to answer him.
They pulled up in front of the house.
"I had fun tonight." Courtney said before giving him a kiss which was suppose to be just a peak but turned out to be more.
He pulled away out of breath as she did the same.
"I love you Courtney." he said looking at her.
"I love you too Nikolas." She responded before she could catch herself.
"What?" He asked her confused.
"Huh?" Courtney asked trying to play it off.
"You just said Nikolas. Who is Nikolas?" Jason asked her.
"I didn't say Nikolas and I dont know a Nikolas." She responded.
He just looked at her.
"I'll walk you inside." Jason said as they got out of the car.
She opened her front door to let them in and walked into the living room.
He didn't realize she had just walked into the room.
Courtney dropped her bag once she saw him.
"Whats wrong babe?" Jason asked walking up behind her.
"Hello Courtney." Nikolas said looking.
"What are you doing here Nikolas?" Courtney exclaimed wanting to know.
A/N: Okay just pretend she use to date Jason I know I had Patrick but I decided on Jason so whatever! Let me know if you likey or not! Thanks!
