Chapter 11
Penthouse 2
Courtney: I still don't know why he shot that guy or what happened after I left.
Jason: That explains part of it but why are you still mad at Sonny?
Courtney: My relationship with Sonny was never the same after that night. I blamed Sonny for making Lorenzo shoot that guy. I blamed him for everything that started to go wrong in mine and Lorenzo's relationship.
Jason: What happened?
Courtney: After I left I went back home and packed up my things. While I was packing Sonny came home and I saw blood on his shirt.
Jason: Whose blood was it?
Courtney: I assumed it was Lorenzo's. I was so mad. I couldn't understand why Sonny would shoot his best friend. I….
Jason: Wait….best friend?
Courtney: Yeah. Sonny and Lorenzo were inseparable when they were younger all through junior high and high school.
Jason: What happened after that?
Courtney: I started yelling at Sonny. Asking how he could shoot Alcazar. I just kept saying it over and over again. Sonny told me he didn't shoot Lorenzo that Lorenzo shot him.
Flashback
Courtney: No, that is impossible. He would never shoot you. He doesn't even own a gun. You do.
Sonny: Courtney, you have to listen to me. Lorenzo and I have become involved in some dangerous business. A business that could hurt you and would never look back or feel bad about it.
Courtney: What are you talking about? Like the mob?
Sonny: Yes.
Courtney: No, Lorenzo would never hurt people like that. You…you put him up to this,
Sonny: Court, I swear to you it was his idea.
Courtney: I have to go. You…you disgust me.
End Flashback
Jason: You went to Alcazar's didn't you?
Courtney: Yes. I had to find out if what Sonny said was true.
Jason: What did Alcazar say?
Courtney: The complete opposite of what Sonny said.
Jason: Who did you believe?
Courtney: Lorenzo. He was the love of my life at least that is what I thought back then. I mean I loved him with everything I had. I couldn't even imagine him lying to me.
Jason: What about the gun shot? What did he say about that?
Courtney: That Sonny pulled a gun on him and it was self defense. He said if he didn't shoot Sonny, Sonny would have shot him.
Jason sat there taking in everything she had just said when they heard a phone ringing. Jason answered the phone and Courtney knew that it was business. She was pretty sure he was going to leave.
Jason: Hey Court I have to go but I'll be back soon.
Courtney: Ok.
Jason: Are you going to be ok?
Courtney: Yeah. I will fine. I'll probably just take a bath and relax.
Jason: If you need anything call me, alright?
Courtney: Alright.
Jason bent down and gave her a sweet kiss on the lips then he was out the door. Courtney was walking up the stairs when she heard a knock on the door. She didn't really want to talk to anyone so she continued up the stairs. She was almost to the top when the knocking became louder. She walked back down and opened the door.
Courtney: Carly.
Carly: Hey Courtney.
Courtney: What are you doing here?
Carly: Well I wanted to get to know my sister in law better. I mean I have been married to your brother for 3 years now and we have never met face to face.
Courtney: Come on in.
Carly walked through the door and was shocked to see Jason's penthouse redecorated.
Carly: I love what you did to the place.
Courtney: Thanks.
Carly: How are you?
Courtney: What do you mean?
Carly: Well Sonny told me you were sick and that Alcazar came to town.
Courtney: You know about Lorenzo?
Carly: Well some of it.
Courtney: Oh.
Carly: If you ever need anyone to talk to I am just across the hall.
Courtney: That is really nice of you.
Carly: I mean it.
Courtney walked over to the couch and sat down. Carly wasn't sure if she should follow or not. Courtney looked really upset. Carly thought maybe she just need some time alone so she turned around and was about to walk to the door when she heard Courtney's voice.
Courtney: I just I don't know how to tell Jason.
Carly: Tell Jason what?
Courtney: I mean I have told him a lot but I have left one thing out, one really important thing. I'm not sure how he will react. I can't lose him. I need him like I need air.
Carly: What is it you can tell me?
Carly could see the tears running down Courtney's cheeks and knew that something was wrong.
Carly: You can tell me. I promise I won't tell Jason.
Courtney: I was pregnant with Lorenzo's baby.
Docks
Jason walked down the steps onto the docks. He saw Sonny pacing and knew something was wrong.
Jason: Sonny.
Sonny: Jason I need you to take care of a problem.
Jason: What problem? Alcazar?
Sonny: Yes, he needs to disappear tonight.
Jason: Why? What happened?
Sonny: I went to see him. I told him to leave town to forget my sister ever existed. He told me he still loves her and would do anything to be with her. I will not let him ruin my sister again.
Jason: How did he ruin her?
Sonny: She should be the one to tell you.
Jason: Sonny, I can't take much more of this. I keep finding out things about her past and Alcazar. It just keeps getting worse. I'm not sure how much more I can take.
Sonny: Listen she probably hasn't told you this because it is really painful for her. I bet she wasn't sure how you would take. I'm sure she is trying to protect you.
Jason: Sonny, please tell me.
Sonny: She was pregnant.
Jason: What? Where is the baby now?
Sonny: It was never born.
Jason: Why not? What did Alcazar do?
Sonny: He got drunk one night and Courtney had just found out she was pregnant. She was so happy. She even called me to tell me. She went back to their apartment and he was drunk. She told him and he wasn't happy. She ran upstairs to pack her stuff. She was finally leaving. She called me and asked if she could stay with me. She was walking out of the room and he was standing their waiting for her. She started walking down the stairs when he pushed her. I had gone to make sure something like that didn't happen. I saw him push her. I called for the ambulance. They took her to the hospital and told me she had lost the baby. When she woke up she didn't remember being pregnant. The only thing she remembered was her hate for me and her love for Alcazar.
Jason: So he killed their baby and got away with it?
Sonny: For awhile. I tried telling her the truth but she wouldn't listen. She only listened to the lies Alcazar told her.
Jason: I got to go.
Sonny: Where are you going?
Jason: For a ride. I just need to clear my head.
Penthouse 2
Carly: You can tell me. I promise I won't tell Jason.
Courtney: I was pregnant with Lorenzo's baby.
Carly: You…You were pregnant.
Courtney: Yeah, but I lost the baby.
Carly: Oh my god Courtney. I am so sorry.
Courtney: It's ok. I…I just don't know how Jason will take it. I mean he has been great through everything else I have told him but this…this is so different.
Carly: I have known Jason a long time and he will be there for you and support you. You just have to trust him.
Courtney: I know. It's just maybe I should what a little while I mean after everything I have told him. It is just a lot to take in.
Carly: I understand where you are coming from but if you keep this secret it will only grow and eat at you. Jason won't understand.
Courtney: Ok. I will tell him but right now I am hungry let's get something to eat.
Carly: I can always go for food.
Courtney got up and started walking toward the kitchen when she felt really light head. Carly saw her stop but wasn't sure what was happening. Carly was about to ask when she saw Courtney fall. She rushed over to Courtney to see what happened.
Carly: Get up….Please…..Oh god.
