Chapter 5
Jason's POV
I watched her walk out the door and felt a part of myself leave too. At that moment I realized I may never get her back. The part that scared me the most was why it mattered so much. I love her. I love her with all my heart. How am I supposed to let her go? I had to raise my child with its mother. She did have a point. What if Sam was lying? What if this baby wasn't mine? I needed to make sure. I had to get Courtney back and I needed to tell her how I feel. I had to go after her.
When I walked out I could barely see from the rain that was coming down. I had to find her though. She needs to know how I feel. I ran down the street looking for her when I saw someone turn a corner. I could feel it was her.
Jason: Courtney! Courtney wait!
I saw her stop and I took that as a god sign.
Jason: Courtney.
Courtney: Jason. What are you doing out here?
Jason: I love you!
Courtney's POV
I heard him say the words but I couldn't believe it. He loves me? I had to make sure I wasn't making this up.
Courtney: What?
Jason: I love you Courtney. More than I have ever loved anyone.
Courtney: Oh Jason. I love you too.
I saw a look of relief come over his face. He then started to lower his and I raised mine up to meet his. We then stood there in the rain kissing. It felt like forever until I pulled away. He looked at me confused.
Courtney: Jason, we can't.
Jason: Why not Courtney? I love you and you love me. What else is there?
Courtney: Sam and your baby. I refuse to be the other woman. I can't do it.
I felt the tears well up in my eyes. I didn't want him to see me cry again so I did the first thing that came to mind. I ran.
Jason's POV
I saw the tears well up in her eyes. I then watched as she turned around and ran. It was tearing me up inside seeing that she refused to make herself vulnerable and let me see her cry. I knew that if I went after her she would only push me away. I wouldn't be able to handle that. I knew it was for the best if I just went home and talked to her tomorrow. Plus I really needed to talk to Sam.
I walked into the penthouse to see Sam pacing the living room. I had really wanted to wait until the morning to talk to her but she was up and now was as good a time as any.
Sam: Jason. You're home where have you been?
Jason: I was at work. What are you still doing up? I thought I told you to rest.
Sam: I did rest, but I wanted to talk to you.
Jason: I wanted to talk to you too.
Sam: Ok, well why don't you go first.
Jason: Ok. Why did you tell Courtney we were getting remarried?
Sam: Because we are.
Jason: No we aren't. I told you that and you still told her. Why?
Sam: She is going to take you away from our baby and I can't let that happen. Jase, I have to protect our child.
Jason: Courtney, would never take me away from my child.
Sam: How do you know? Are you even sure you can trust her?
Jason: Don't you dare try to act like you know who Courtney is!
Sam: Jason I am sorry. I didn't mean to upset you.
Jason: Yes you did. Just like tonight you tried to hurt Courtney by kissing me and making her think that we were getting married.
Sam: Jason just let me explain.
Jason: No Sam. I'm tired of your lies.
Sam: Jason.
Jason: Sam, I want a paternity test.
Sam: Jason, how could you even ask that?
Jason: I know you lie. Why wouldn't you do something like this to try and keep me?
Sam: Fine Jason. I'll have a paternity test done, but it will only prove you wrong.
Jason: Good. What did you want to tell me?
Sam: Nothing. I'm going to sleep.
The Next Morning
Courtney's POV
I woke up feeling more refreshed then I had in days. I felt like I could actually face the world. I decided staying in the apartment would ruin it so I decided to go get some coffee.
Kelly's
I ordered my coffee and was leaving when I bumped into someone.
Courtney: I'm so sorry. I wasn't watching where I was going.
Person: Courtney?
Until that moment I hadn't looked up to see who it was. I was shocked to say the least when they said my name. I was even more shocked when I realized who it was.
Courtney: Sonny, what are you doing here?
Sonny: Hello to you too Court.
Courtney: I was just so shocked to see you here.
Sonny: Yeah, well it has been a while since we talked.
Courtney: I'm sorry about that. I have had a lot going on.
Sonny: You look good though.
Courtney: I am.
Sonny: What have you been up to lately?
Courtney: Well, actually I had a contract with L&B Records to make a CD.
Sonny: Had, as in past tense. You know, I know the owner I could make them resign you.
Courtney: You always did try to look out and protect me.
Sonny: Yeah and it didn't work. You still got hurt.
Courtney: That wasn't your fault. How many times have I told you that?
Sonny: I will always partly blame myself for what happened.
Courtney: What are you doing here?
Sonny: I just got back in town. I run my business from here now.
Courtney: Ok well I have to….
Before she could finish, Jason walked in.
Jason: Sonny?
Sonny: Jason, hey I was just about to come by the penthouse to talk to you.
Jason: Ok, Are Carly and he boys back too?
Sonny: Yeah, she is.
Courtney: I have to get going.
Sonny: Ok, listen I will call you later and we can talk.
Courtney: Yeah, I would like that. Bye Sonny. Bye Jason.
Jason: You know Courtney?
Sonny: Yeah. Let's go talk about business.
Jason: Sure. We can go back to your penthouse.
Penthouse
Sonny: Carly went out with the boys. She should be back soon.
Jason: Yeah. I want to see them.
Sonny: Before we get to business there is something we need to talk about.
Jason: What is it?
Sonny: Courtney.
