Chapter 9

Courtney got to the docks in record time. When she got there he was already standing there waiting for her. He looked exactly the same as the last time she saw him. He hadn't changed a thing.

Courtney: Lorenzo. Why did you come here?

Lorenzo: Court, you need to come home with me.

Courtney: Why? Give me one good reason as to why I should. I have a life here. One I actually like and people that care about me.

Lorenzo: You mean Mr. Morgan. You have fallen for him haven't you?

Courtney: I love him.

Lorenzo: You used to love me.

Courtney: Things have changed.

Lorenzo: I still love you.

Courtney: Why did you really come here?

Lorenzo: I want you back. I love you Court.

Courtney: Don't call me that.

Lorenzo: Please just hear me out.

Courtney: I can't I need to go. Please leave town, forget you ever knew me.

Lorenzo: You know I can't do that. I love you and deep down you know you love me too.

Courtney: You broke my heart into a thousand pieces. I could never love you again.

Courtney walked off the docks feeling as if a weight had been lifted. She needed to tell Jason about Lorenzo before he found out from someone else. She walked into the dark penthouse wondering where Jason was. She thought that he might still be at Sonny's so she went to see.

Sonny: Hey Courtney! What are you doing here?

Courtney: Is Jason here? He wasn't at home.

Sonny: No, he left about twenty minutes ago.

Panic over took Courtney as she thought of the worst thing possible. What if he had been on the docks and heard her conversation with Lorenzo? Sonny saw the panic on her face and wondered what was happening.

Courtney: Sonny I need to ask you something?

Sonny: Anything.

Courtney: Did you call anyone back in California and tell them about me being sick again?

Sonny: No. I didn't tell anyone. Why what is wrong?

Courtney: Lorenzo is here.

Sonny: I know.

Courtney: How did you know?

Sonny: Jason told me. Alcazar was at the penthouse when he got home.

Courtney: Did you tell him the real reason Alcazar was there?

Sonny: No, but you need to. He deserves to know the truth.

Courtney: I know. I just hope he comes home soon.

Soon after Courtney left Sonny's penthouse and went back to Jason's. Sonny was standing by the window when he heard Carly coming down the stairs.

Carly: Who was that woman that was just here?

Sonny: Courtney.

Carly: You mean your sister Courtney?

Sonny: Yes.

Penthouse 2

When Courtney got back to the penthouse she saw Jason's leather jacket on the chair which meant he was home. It was time to tell him everything.

Courtney: Jason!

Jason walked out from the kitchen with a beer in his hand. He could tell she had something important to tell him.

Jason: Hey.

Courtney: We need to talk.

Jason: Ok, about what?

Courtney: I have to tell you the whole truth.

Jason: About what?

Courtney: Alcazar.

Jason: What about him?

Courtney: I know him.

Jason: How? Did he threaten you?

Courtney: No, he didn't

Jason: Then how.

Courtney: W…W…We dated.

Jason was shocked to say the least. Courtney. His Courtney dated that monster. He didn't understand why she would do that.

Courtney: Actually we um we lived together for a little while.

Jason: Why?

It was the only thing he could say.

Courtney: I loved him.

Jason: Is that why he came to town?

Courtney: Yes, he wants me back but I would never go back to him.

Jason: Why? Why wouldn't you go back to him?

Courtney: He broke my heart.

Jason: How?

Courtney wasn't sure she could tell him that yet. She wasn't ready to talk about it. It hurt so much just to think about it.

Jason watched the different emotions come over her face. He could see the sadness, the pain, but most of all the anger.

Courtney: I can't tell you yet but I promise I will tell you as soon as I am ready. It is just too painful.

Jason knew she was telling the truth.

Jason: Ok. Where were you when I got back?

Courtney: I went to see Sonny. There is something else I need to tell you.

Jason: What is it?

Courtney: It is about Sonny.

Jason: What about him?

Courtney: He is my brother.

Jason was stunned that was the last thing he expected.

Penthouse 4

Carly: What was she doing here?

Sonny: Someone from her past came back.

Carly: Who?

Sonny: Lorenzo Alcazar.

Carly: Why is that so bad?

Sonny: He changes her and if he stays he will ruin Courtney and Jason's relationship.

Carly: I don't understand.

Carly had never met Courtney but knew all about her. From what she heard Courtney had a lot of scars from her past.

Sonny: Alcazar is like a drug for Courtney. I don't think I can stop it this time.

Carly: Well maybe if you, Jason and I are there for her we can stop it.

Sonny: It is not that simple.

Carly: Why not?

Sonny: She is too stubborn telling her she can't have him makes her want him more and she will do anything to get to him.

Carly: That was before she had Jason.

Sonny: I just hope she tells Jason everything about their relationship.

Carly: Why wouldn't she?

Sonny: Because she thinks it will change the way he sees her.

Carly: Why?

Sonny: Carly there is so much that I haven't told you about her or our past.

Carly: You can tell me now.

Sonny: No, I can't not without her permission.
