Chapter 6

Taking a deep breath, Courtney stood to greet the doctor, saying a prayer under her breath.

“Dr. Quartermaine sent me to tell you that Jason made it through the surgery and is resting right now” The doctor stated, smiling. Courtney watched as Carly jumped into Sonny’s arms, both smiling from ear to ear.

“Can I see him?” Courtney requested quietly, smiling politely towards the dark haired man before her.

“Yes” He stated simply, returning to the surgery room he had exited minutes before. Carly took her sister in laws hand giving it a reassuring squeeze, before the blonde walked off towards Jason’s room.

Courtney hesitated in the doorway her eyes taking in Jason’s peaceful form, the even rise and fall of his chest, setting her at ease. Taking slow steps, the blonde observed the rooms interior, landing on the machines that lay beside her fiancée beeping every so often. Sitting in the chair at his side Courtney sighed taking Jason’s hand in her own.

“There is so much I have to tell you” The blonde whispered, her free hand stroking Jason’s cheek, the warmth beneath her fingertips causing a smile to spread across her features. Sitting back Courtney gripped Jason’s hand tightly, entwining their fingers as she waited for him to wake up.

Carly stood in the door watching her sister in laws diligent gaze set on Jason. Smiling, Carly lent against the door jam, calmly taking in the past few hours. Sonny wrapped an arm around his wife’s waist, looking over her shoulder to survey the scene inside the room. Though Courtney never glanced up she could feel her family’s presence, patiently waiting for the same thing she was, proof that he was really going to be okay.

Elizabeth walked out of the elevator, her gaze sweeping over the seemingly quiet hospital. The woman to her right hesitated, stopping as if to turn around, when Liz grabbed her arm, ushering the girl towards the lobby desk. Standing back the stranger let her eyes take in the hospital, its calmness up nerving her a little. Liz asked the nurse on duty a question, smiling when she got the answer she wanted. Returning to her companions’ side, Liz took the girls arm a little roughly, dragging her towards the room she had been looking for. Carly turned around when she heard the annoying click of heels break the solitude. Rolling her eyes, the dark blonde let her gaze sweep over Elizabeth, who came to stand before her. Carly glanced towards the red head at her side, showing little interest.

“You shouldn’t be here” Carly stated coldly, Sonny coming to her side, ready to signal for the guards. Elizabeth couldn’t hold back the wolfish smile that spread across her features.

“I’m here because I had to bring Jamie to see her husband” Elizabeth replied, shoving the red head forward, for Carly and Sonny to examine.

“Well keep going to wherever her husbands room is” Carly commented, scowling when Liz stood still, glancing down at her nails to show she was not going anywhere.

“We don’t have to go any further, Jason’s her husband” Elizabeth watched in amusement as Carly’s jaw almost dropped.

Courtney glanced upwards towards the doorway, raising her eyebrows at the sudden crowed that has seemed to position themselves just out of earshot. A small moan drew her attention back to the form lying before her. Jason shifted a little, his fingers tightening around hers as his eye lids finally fluttered open. Squinting he tried to see through the white overhead lights, that stung at his eyes. Finally turning his head, he caught a glimpse of Courtney.

“Hey sweetie” Courtney whispered, smiling as she blinked back the tears of joy that had welled up in her eyes.

“Hey” Jason replied, a small smile forming as he laid eyes on his fiancée.

“I was worried you weren’t going to come back to me” Courtney commented, tears slowly slipping down her cheeks.

“I promised I would” Jason raised his hand cupping her cheek, his thumb wiping away stray tears.

“Come here” Jason pushed himself over, leading Courtney to his side by her hand.

“Are you sure…I mean” Courtney hesitated, watching Jason nod his head to show he was fine. Smiling Courtney climbed into bed beside him, snuggling under the covers and into his arms.

“There something I have to tell you” The blonde stated, glancing up into Jason’s eyes.

“It can wait, were both tired” Jason replied, placing a kiss against Courtney’s fore head before letting his eyes close, sleep overtaking him once again.

Courtney settled in closer to Jason, for the first time in what seemed like forever she felt safe. The nagging feeling that he needed to know the truth kept her awake despite it all.

“I’m sorry I couldn’t be stronger for you” Courtney whispered, to both Jason and the baby she would never see. Letting a lone tear fall down her cheek, Courtney finally closed her eyes, surrendering to the warmth of Jason’s embrace.

Both slept peacefully. Unaware of the woman standing outside, prepared to ruin their happiness.

Carly grabbed Jaime’s arm, pulling her from the doorway and towards the open lobby. The red head attempted to pull loose from the iron tight grip, digging her heels into the floor, to stop her body’s involuntary movement. Carly only pulled the girl along harder, knowing she was probably bruising Jaime’s arm, but choosing not to care. Finally, Carly stopped, pressing the elevator button insistently, tapping her nails on the wall impatiently.

“Let go of me you psychopath” Jaime spoke through gritted teeth, trying once again to get free from Carly’s vice like grip. Elizabeth walked to Jaime’s side, only to have Carly grab her arm. The dark blonde holding both girls in place with little effort. When the metal doors finally slid open, Carly threw the two women inside, Watching in amusement, as they struggled to stay upright, from the force of the push. Liz began to pout rubbing her arm, while Jaime glared at Carly.

“Bye bye girls, don’t come back, if you do I’ll push through these elevator doors, whether it’s reached this floor or not” The dark blonde smiled at the women, waving as the doors closed. Rolling her eyes in disgust, Carly turned to see Sonny desperately trying to hold in his laughter.

“Impressive, why didn’t I hire you as a bodyguard?” Sonny inquired, smiling, earning a whack in the chest from his wife. Carly threw herself into a nearby chair watching Sonny come to her side, still chuckling softly.

“You don’t think what she is saying could be true, do you?” Carly looked at Sonny questioningly.

“I don’t know you have to ask Jason”

“Courtney can’t know she’s been through too much” Carly stated, sighing as the days tumultuous events ran through her mind.

“Could you maybe… oh I don’t know distract Courtney while I grill… I mean ask Jason very nicely for the truth?” The dark blonde requested, smiling innocently up at her husband, whose resolve had already begun to fade.

“Fine but Jason tells Courtney the truth, whatever it may be” Sonny replied, watching Carly nod.

Courtney glanced up at the ceiling counting the endless rows of white tiles, trying to focus on something other then telling Jason. She shifted her body pulling out of the embrace, as Carly and Sonny came to the doorway. Waving her hand to signal they could come in, Courtney settled back into the chair by Jason bedside.

“How is he?” Sonny whispered, walking to his sisters side placing a hand on her shoulder.

“He’s okay, he woke up a while ago and we talked”

“Are you okay?” Carly asked, looking Courtney in the eye.

“I haven’t told him yet, I tried but it seemed too soon. He shouldn’t have to worry about how I’m feeling, so soon after he had major surgery” Courtney replied, breaking her eye contact with Carly, glancing at her hands that lay in her lap.

“Look you should go home for a bit, it’s been a long evening” Sonny drew Courtney’s eyes upwards, anger flashing briefly in her crystal blue gaze.

“I told you I wasn’t going to leave him”

“I didn’t mean it like that, I meant you should go and take a shower, get some clean clothes and have something to eat. Your no good to Jason if you pass out from hunger” Sonny replied, surprised by his sisters sudden defensiveness. Courtney sighed running a hand through her hair.

“I’m sorry for getting snappy; I just don’t want to leave him”

“I’ll be right here with Jason while you’re gone” Carly stated, making her presence known again. Courtney nodded smiling at her sister in law.

“Okay but I’ll be back in an hour, if something happens, just call my cell” Courtney grabbed her jacket from the chair, walking towards Jason’s side again.

“I’ll be back soon” Placing a kiss on her sleeping fiancée’s forehead, the blonde finally let Sonny lead her out of the room.

“Okay Jase you can stop pretending to be asleep now” Carly stated, watching his eyes open and a small smile spread across his features.

“How did you know?”

“Oh please I have a child who pretends to be asleep way better then you, plus you smiled when Courtney kissed you” Carly replied, taking a seat in the chair Courtney had vacated.

“I’m glad to see your feeling better, you had us all scared” Carly blinked back a few tears, taking Jason’s hand.

“I should have never chosen to drive in that blizzard, I could have gotten Courtney killed” Jason responded, the anger towards himself, evident in his voice.

“Hey it was no ones fault, your okay and Courtney’s okay” Carly caught herself lying as she said the last words knowing Courtney wasn’t okay.

“How long have you been awake?” Carly inquired, sitting back in her chair.

“Long enough to hear you convince her to go home for a bit, thank you for that by the way, she needed some fresh air” Jason replied, smiling at Carly who suddenly became serious.

“Who is Jaime?”

The red head pulled the arm of her shirt up, glancing in the mirror to see the bruises that had begun to form. Elizabeth stood in the background, hand raised to except money from the brown-haired woman who stood in the corner of the room.

“There now I think you can find your way out” The brunette commented, placing the final bill in Liz’s hand and watching as she left.

“That witch Carly, she grabbed me and dragged me from the room like a four year old” Jaime spoke coldly, her green eyes hardening in anger.

“Well I told you it wasn’t going to be easy, but don’t worry it’s all falling into place. Come on sis cheer up” The brown-haired woman walked to Jaime’s side, placing a calming hand on her shoulder.

“It better work out, you promised I would get Jason the last time you made a play for Sonny. Angel that didn’t work out the way you planned” Jaime stated, turning to face her sister arms crossed in front of her chest.

“Well when dad died I was close to getting Sonny, but he chose Carly. Your married to Jason, which means he can’t marry Blondie any time soon” Angel replied, fixing her shoulder length hair and brushing lint off her white top, smiling wickedly at her sister.

“You know people shouldn’t let your obsession with white fool them, you’re exactly like dad” Jamie commented, looking over her sister’s latest white ensemble. The two sisters were close but completely different. While Angel lived up to her name style wise, Jamie stuck to deep red colors and black, her long read hair curled softly. Angels now brown tresses were straightened, lying past her shoulders. The two smiled at their reflections in the full-length mirror.

“I guess I’m off to play sweet and innocent Mrs. Morgan” Jamie gave Angel a small hug leaving to change.

“Ms. Sorel, Faith Roscoe is here” A guard announced, poking his head in to see his boss.

“Show her in”

Jason shifted uncomfortably under Carly’s scrutinizing glare.

“How do you know about Jamie?” He asked.

“She showed up with Liz, claiming she was worried about her husband, who by the way, is you” Carly replied, emphasizing her words by pointing towards Jason.

“We got the marriage annulled, it meant nothing” Jason stated, shrugging to show the unimportance of the situation.

“Are you sure 'cause there was a gold band around her finger, that shows otherwise”

“No we signed the papers before I came back to Port Charles… I gave them to her to take to the courthouse” Jason cursed beneath his breath, realizing his mistake.

“You know for a guy who is supposed to be a good ready of people, stealthy and all that you aren’t doing too well” Carly mumbled, sighing in disappointment while Jason glared at her.

“Not now Carly” He warned, running a hand through his hair.

“Why would you let little Miss Muffet take the papers?” Carly inquired, not being able to stop her curiosity.

“I got a call from Sonny, saying he needed me to fly to the Caribbean to do some business. Jaime and I both wanted the marriage to end so I trusted her with the papers”

“Of all the people you choose to trust some girl… you what picked up in a bar?”

“No!” Jason felt his anger rising, as Carly continued to state the obvious; he had made a stupid move.

“So then tell me how you met her, why you married her” Carly requested, her voice lowering as she looked directly into Jason’s eyes.

“Her boyfriend was beating on her, she needed help, and I said I would protect her”

“So you married her to protect her. Sounds like you could have just hung around outside her doorway” Carly commented, beginning to pace.

“She shot him with my gun, we had to find a way to protect ourselves” Jason finished.

“How did Sonny never find out?”

“I hid it, I didn’t want him to know I was sucked into a loveless marriage” Jason bowed his head and Carly stopped in her tracks feeling bad at her sudden anger towards him.

“Look all you have to do is get Jaime to divorce you and you can send her packing. Then me and Courtney can start planning your wedding” Carly sat down once again, taking Jason’s hand and giving it a reassuring squeeze.

“How am I supposed to tell Courtney?” Jason asked, looking towards Carly who could not answer, for the first time in her life she did not have one.

Courtney pulled her coat around herself tightly, walking down the steps of the docks. The cool morning air whipped at her cheeks reddening them. Looking out onto the murky water before her, Courtney could see her reflection in the waves. Sighing the blonde began to turn around when she spotted a red head walking towards her.

“I’m sorry to bother you but you are Courtney Matthews, right?” The stranger asked, coming closer, earning a suspicious once over from Courtney. The woman’s hair was pulled back showing off her ivory skin, a long coat covering a pair of jeans and a turtleneck. Pausing briefly Courtney nodded, watching the woman let out a quick breath a relieved smile crossing her features.

“I thought I recognized you, you are a friend of my husbands’ right?” The woman inquired, rubbing her hands in an attempt to get some warmth.

“I’m sorry who is your husband?” Courtney found herself slightly intrigued by the woman’s questions.

“Oh my god, I have to be the weirdest person you have ever met, I’m Jason Morgan’s wife. My name is Jamie Morgan” The red head held her hand out for Courtney to shake, seemingly oblivious to the blonde’s sudden paleness.

“Nice to meet you” Courtney shook Jamie’s hand trying to control her urge to rip the woman’s arm off.

“Are you headed to see Jason? We could go together” Jamie suggested, smiling sweetly.

“Yeah, I have to talk to Jason about a few things” Courtney replied curtly, a cold edge accenting her words. Jamie watched in amusement as the blonde took the lead.

“This is going to be fun” The red head whispered beneath her breath, following in Courtney’s footsteps.

Courtney tapped the heel of her boot impatiently on the elevator floor. Crossing her arms in front of her chest, the blonde watched as the floors were slowly counted. Glancing towards the red head at her side she saw the girl smile brightly, Courtney barely responded, her smile coming out forced. Breathing a sigh of relief, Courtney excited the elevator walking out into the busy lobby. Ignoring Jamie, she set off towards Jason’s room. The red heads’ gaze bore into the blondes’ retreating back, with a satisfied smile she pulled a cell phone from her coat pocket.

“I want to take care of her today”

Angel leaned against her desk watching as Faith strolled into the room, sitting herself down in the closest chair.

“What is it you want Mrs. Roscoe?” Angel inquired bluntly, taking in the blonde’s startled reaction with amusement.

“We both want to destroy Sonny” Faith stated, rising from her chair to inspect the office’s lavish interior.

“Your point” Angel responded, growing weary of the conversation, she reached into her desk drawer.

“We can work together” Faith turned to face the brunette once again, eyes fixing on the gun pointed towards her heart.

“I work alone” Angel replied smiling menacingly, the first bullet found its target sending Faith to the ground.

“Maurice!”

“Yes Ms.Sorel?”

“Get rid of her, and send someone to clean the carpet. I hate blood stains” Faith remarked flippantly.

Courtney stopped in her tracks as she finally reached Jason’s doorway. Taking a deep breath, the blonde crossed the threshold, looking in on Jason’s wide-awake form.

“Hey” Smiling Jason rose from the bed, taking Courtney into his arms, only to have her pull away.

“When were you going to tell me about her?” Anger flashed in her eyes as she silently regarded Jason.

“I thought… it was supposed to be over” He stammered, running a hand through his hair. Courtney’s distrustful gaze never wavered, her anger growing as she became more aware of the fact that Jamie stood just beyond the door.

“Look Court, it wasn’t even a relationship, me and Jamie were all about lies”

“Like you and me” Courtney saw the sadness flash in Jason’s eyes, he again attempted to reach for her, only to her turn away. Blinking back tears, the blonde clenched her fists at her side, her different emotions tangling together.

“Courtney I love you I gave you a ring, I promised we would be together. Do you think I was lying?” Jason pleaded trying to get her to understand, her back still turned to him.

Courtney stared out through the windowpane, watching in sadness while Jamie pranced around talking to nurses. Her bubbly smile and bouncy curls set Courtney’s teeth on edge, every nerve in her body crying out to strangle the girl.

“She still wears your ring too, she announced herself to me as Mrs. Morgan”

“I’m supposed to be Mrs. Morgan” Courtney added quietly, her voice thick with emotion. Jason sighed looking over the blondes' shoulder towards Jamie. He felt nothing but hatred towards the red head, if he only he could get Courtney to see that. Wrapping his arms around Courtney’s waist, he was surprised when she did not pull away.

“I love you” Jason whispered. Courtney turned around, her arms wrapping around his neck.

“I love you too, but I can’t be with you”

Jamie surveyed the hospital lobby, observing the elevator impatiently. Pushing a lock of hair behind her ear, the read head heard the metal doors slide open. Trying to hold back her eager smile, she nodded at the man who passed, receiving a smirk in response. Watching in anticipation, Jamie took a seat, in direct view of Jason’s room. The man stopped in front of the windowpane going unnoticed by the rooms’ occupants. Pulling the gun from his coat pocket he aimed it at Courtney’s back, his finger poised to pull the trigger.

The stranger stopped, returning his gun to his trench coat pocket. Jaime held back a frustrated scream, attempting to remain indifferent at the hit mans inability to complete his task. The read head glared in his direction as he came to her side, grasping her fore arms and roughly pulling her to his chest.

“What the hell are you doing?” Jaime whispered, trying to shove the man away, only to have him pull her closer.

“Your sisters orders” The man replied simply, molding their two forms. The red heads eyes widened, filling with tears, as a sharp blade enter her stomach. The man twisted it deeper, watching as she bit her lip to hold in a scream.

“She said it would be a good way to get her message across” The stranger commented flippantly, observing the woman squirm painfully when he pulled the knife out. The blood-covered blade fell by their feet, the scene going unnoticed by the staff. With a final stroke of Jaime’s hair, the attacker lowered her body to the ground, her frail form all but disappearing beneath the plastic chairs. Blood began to flow more rapidly from her wound and onto the tiled floor.

Squatting to her level, he drew Jaime’s eyes upwards.

“Angel says you know what to do” He stated calmly, rising and rushing towards the nurses’ desk to act like a concerned citizen.

Sonny and Carly stepped off the elevator, noticing the nurses and doctors that crowded the waiting room. Michael looked up at his parents, tugging on his mothers coat to get her attention. Carly lifted the boy off the ground, despite his protests, shielding his eyes, as a stretcher went by. Carly fought back the urge to vomit at the sight of Jamie’s unconscious and bloody body, positioned on the moving stretcher.

“Mommy what is it? Where’s Uncle Jason?” The little boy inquired impatiently, squirming until he was set down.

“Uncle Jason’s room is just up over there, why don’t we go say hi?” Carly suggested half-heartedly, her eyes connecting with Sonny’s, conveying her fear. Michael took his mothers outstretched hand, letting himself be led further down the hallway and away from the commotion.

Courtney pulled away from Jason’s embrace, wrapping her arms around herself and walking towards the window.

“She doesn’t mean anything to me” Jason once again tried to quell his fiancé’s fears.

“Jamie is your wife, she obviously means something to you, or you would have followed up on the finalization of the divorce” Courtney turned to face him, her body growing weary from her emotional battle.

“Look Jamie needed my help, we got married, and then we got divorced. End of story”

“Jason, don’t you understand it’s not that easy for me. You proposed to me after divorcing the latest, but I guess not legal, Mrs. Morgan, and another one pops ups” Sighing, Courtney settled into the chair beside the now vacant bed.

“Every time we get close to happiness something rips it to shreds. I think it’s a sign we shouldn’t be together” Courtney saw the anguish come to Jason’s eyes, his _expression clouding briefly, before he bowed his head. Kneeling in front of Courtney, he took her hands in his own. Breathing deeply he struggled to find the right words.

“You’re wearing the ring I was going to give you” He stated, running his thumb along her knuckle and up the band.

“Sonny put it on me when he gave us our blessing, if you want it back…”

“Courtney, I don’t know how many more times I have to say I love you, and only you, before you get it, sometimes you are just as stubborn as Sonny” Jason muttered under his breath, smiling when he received a small grin from the blonde.

“There’s something you need to know” She stated seriously. Jason nodded encouraging her to continue.

“I was admitted to the hospital when you were in surgery…”

“Uncle Jason” The couple pulled apart quickly, when Michael launched himself into his uncle’s arm, causing a wide grin to spread over his features. Hugging the little boy close, Jason looked up at Courtney, noticing the crestfallen _expression that had taken over her features.

“Hey Aunt Courtney” Michael added softly, allowing himself to be placed in her lap for a hug. Holding back tears, the blonde-haired woman held the little boy tightly.

“Jason why don’t you take Mikey to get some juice” Carly suggested, looking over at Courtney’s grief stricken form. Jason nodded swinging the boy onto his shoulders, taking one last look at Courtney, receiving an encouraging smile, before he set off.

“Thanks I needed to have a moment to pull myself together” Courtney admitted sniffling.

Carly nodded absently flopping onto the mattress in front of her sister in law.

“What’s wrong Carly?” Courtney inquired, growing worried at the dark blondes' visibly paler complexion.

“Jaime was stabbed in the waiting room” The words were out of her mouth before she could think twice about what she was saying. Courtney felt her heart begin to pound, fear adding to the already jumbled emotions coursing through her.

“Is she alive?”

Sonny stood outside the surgery windows watching while machines went off and the nurses and doctors slowed their efforts. The steady rhythm of a heartbeat came across one of the monitors, causing a few relieved smiles to cross the staffs’ weary faces. Running a hand over his face, Sonny prepared to wait until the crowd dispersed to get the information he needed.

Angel stared out upon the scenery from the balcony, two floors from the ground. A cold mask of silence lay etched on her features; she listened to the steady sound of the falling rain hitting the ground. Taking a sip from her coffee cup, the brunette let her eyes fix on the gates in the distance, a few trees decorating the other wise plain winding road that led up to the mansion.

“Mrs. Sorel?”

“Yes, Maurice”

“Your sister will be fine; they have moved her to recovery”

“Fine” Angel kept her gaze focused ahead, refusing to let her relief show.

“Is there something else?” She requested, her piercing gaze settling upon the hesitant guard.

“Do you want to visit Jaime?” He asked, looking for a reaction, receiving none. Turning her back on Maurice, the woman crossed her legs, settling deeper into her chair.

“No, Jaime will come to me when she’s better” Maurice nodded silently, turning on his heel and returning to the dry indoors.

“You’ll be fine Jaime, when Sonny goes down and you get Jason, you’ll realize why I did what I did” Angel whispered to herself, shaking her head to ward off the guilt that began creeping into the pit of her stomach, Choosing instead, to focus on the rhythmic falling of the rain.

Sonny pushed his way through the surgery doors, taking in the pale woman whose eyes were shut, a peaceful look on her face.

Pulling a metal stool to her bedside, he watched as her eyes slowly fluttered open.

“Who are you?” The girl rasped, her voice dry from being unused for hours.

“Sonny Corinthos, I need to know who did this to you”

Jaime paused, swallowing and contemplating the severity of his inquiry. Pushing herself up, the red head grimaced in pain.

“You shouldn’t move” Sonny stated indifferently.

“Thanks, from the whole side splitting pain thing, I think I got it” Jaime bit back, frazzled slightly by Sonny’s cold tone.

“Who did this to you?”

“I don’t know some guy who said it was a message to Morgan, whatever that means” The woman played the incident down, remaining calm and collected, to Sonny’s surprise.

“What are you going to do?” Jaime asked, observing Sonny’s retreating form.

“Don’t worry you’ll be safe, maybe not from Carly and Courtney but from whatever other people want to come after you with a knife” Sonny replied coolly, stopping his hasty retreat when the read head called his name.

“Why do you hate me?”

“I don’t like people who threaten my family; if I find out you hurt anyone I love I will hurt you” Sonny responded, walking out and leaving a usually strong woman to cower.

“Were going to the island, go home and pack” Sonny ordered, interrupting Carly and Courtney’s conversation. The women were taken aback, but nodded in agreement,

knowing there was no room for arguments.

Courtney sighed, running a hand through her hair, eyes darting around the darkening hallway. Opening the door to the loft, she shrugged off her jacket, letting it fall onto the couch. The loft lay still, the quiet serene setting reminding Courtney of how tumultuous the past few days had been. Max poked his head in the doorway, looking around the room with a subtle interest.

“I’ll be right outside when you’re ready,” He stated softly, earning a distracted nod. Closing the door behind him and leaving Courtney to her thoughts. Pulling two suitcases from beneath the bed, she began removing items from drawers, folding and placing them inside the bags. Tears filled her eyes as exhaustion and sadness hit her harder then before. Taking a deep breath, Courtney tried to settle her rapidly beating heart; images of Jamie and Jason together getting married flashing before her eyes as if she had been there. Picking a vase up from the table to her side Courtney sent it flying into the wall. Watching the crystal shatter, water dripping down the wall, while the white roses it once held lay against the ground. Her tears began to over flow, the sound of the glass breaking echoing in her head, as she slumped to the ground in a painful heap of sobs.

Jamie pulled a sweater over her head, inhaling sharply when her stitches stretched. Ignoring the insistent pain, she ventured towards the mirror. Her reflection caused a scowl to form marring her pale face. Her hair hung in limp messy curls; tying it up tightly she slipped past her guard and towards the elevator. Stepping into it she pulled a cell phone from her purse.

“I’ll be at the cemetery in ten minutes be alone” She barked into the device, ending the call before a response could be heard. Letting out a shaky breath, Jamie watched the floors slowly be counted down, towards the parking garage.

Jamie walked towards the darkened cemetery, her gaze growing cold at the memories. Rain began to drizzle from the clouds, the thunder growing louder. Shuddering from the icy wind, Jamie pulled her coat closer to herself.

“It’s been three years, I have been loyal to you, I haven’t questioned any of your decisions, and what to I get?” Jamie inquired furiously, turning towards the woman standing behind her. The rain fell faster, the ground becoming thick and muddy. Jamie clutched her coat, the water soaking through her thin layers.

Angel sighed, rolling her eyes at the display. “ I had no choice, I have to get Sonny to that island so this plan will work”

“No you wanted to show me that I’m expendable” Jamie bit back coldly, her gaze fixing on the one person she had trusted.

“I was sending Sonny a message, if there had been another way…”

“Don’t lie to me like I’m still that immature nineteen year old you coerced into working with you. I’ve seen the way you work people”

Shaking her head, Angel dropped the umbrella in her hand, letting the rain stream down her face and soak her clothes. Pulling a knife from her pocket she slid it down her palm; watching in fascination as blood began to flow in droplets from the cut. Jamie’s eyes went wide at the display, her heart beginning to pound louder then the thunder that echoed through the cemetery. Angel walked to her sister, her heels sinking into the ground. Taking Jamie’s hand she placed the blade against her palm, looking into the red heads eyes. Jamie winced biting her lip, while the blade sliced into her palm, blood beginning to pool.

Angel interlaced their cut hands, pressing the palms together.

“This is Sorel blood, las hermanas siempre, sisters always. Too much of our family’s blood has been spilled over the years because of Sonny. It has to end” Angel’s voice began to lull the reservations Jamie had. The red head looked at her sister, seeing the flicker of desperation in her eyes.

“What do I need to do?”

“Get on that plane tonight and make sure Courtney and Jason never reach their happy ending” Angel responded casually, guiding Jamie towards the limo parked near the back of the cemetery.

Courtney pushed her two duffel bags towards the door, pausing briefly to look at the broken glass by her feet. Shaking her head, she walked back to the washroom. Looking at her reflection she felt a sigh pass her lips. Her pale cheeks were marred with tearstains; a scowl spread across her features at the site.

“She’s not going to win”

Carly smiled at Max as she brushed him towards the loft door, knocking tentatively before walking in. Carly opened her mouth then shut it at the site of Courtney. Her hair laid straight past her shoulder, knee high boots hitting just below her leather mini skirts bottom. A sleeveless red v-neck shirt showed off her bare midriff, a short leather jacket lay draped over it.

“Nice look, wanna explain the sudden change?” Carly inquired casually, leaning against the couch’s arm and watching Courtney dart across the room.

“Courtney”

“I’m not going to let Jamie walk in here and take him away from me, I don’t care if her last name is Morgan”

“You know you don’t need to dress up for Jason he loves you no matter what”

“I know but he does have a thing for leather” Courtney replied cracking a timid smile. Carly laughed at the remark, the atmosphere lightening considerably.

“Come on paradise awaits” Carly commented, placing an arm around her sister in law’s shoulder and walking towards the door.

“You think if Jaime gets on my nerves we could figure out a way to kill her and hide the body?” Courtney asked in a mock seriousness.

Carly nodded, her smile growing at the thought “I’m sure we can arrange something”

Jaime stepped onto the air strip her mind whirling at the task before her.

“Las hermanas siempre” “Sisters always” Jaime repeated, holding her head high as she walked towards the plane.

Angel walked into Kelly’s her gaze traveling over the quaint dinner with disdain. Brushing her brown hair behind her shoulder she walked up the stairs towards the boarding rooms. Knocking on the door lightly she heard giggling and footsteps. Rolling her eyes she watched the door open slowly.

“Can I help you” The brunette inquired raising her eyebrows.

“Yes is Rick Lansing here?” angel inquired looking over the other girls shoulder, into the dimly lit room.

“He’s in the shower is there something specific you want?”

“Actually I want to give him a message”

Angel pulled the knife from her purse, not giving the other woman time to respond before embedding in her stomach. The brunette watched the girl struggle for breath, desperately trying to stop the bleeding and stay upright.

“It’s okay just let go,” Angel whispered, crouching by the woman until the last signs of life left her body. Angel signaled for the guard at the end of the hallway.

“Put her on the bed and leave this” She stated, handing over a piece of paper before disappearing into the hallway.

Please review it keeps me writing and I need to know if u guys want me to continue!
