Chapter 2 –I'm Here

“Oh my God,” Bobbie whispered, as she looked across the room, to the small beaten form. She walked over to Courtney, and bent down to check for a pulse. She let out a breath she didn't realize she was holding, she's alive. She grabbed her phone from her purse, and called 911. After she hung up, she dialed another number.

Jason had been in bed for hours he tried to go to sleep, but he couldn’t his mind kept wandering back to one of the many moments he shared with Courtney. He was brought back to reality, when he heard his phone ringing.

He leaned over to where the phone rested on what used to be Courtney’s nightstand. “Hello?”

“Jason, it’s Bobbie...something has happened to Courtney,” she said over the phone.

Jason immediately shot up in bed, “Bobbie what’s wrong? Is she ok? Where is she?” a million things were going through Jason’s mind, something had happened to Courtney.

“She’s at the hospital--” before Bobbie finished what she was saying, Jason threw down the phone, and jumped out of bed.

In what seemed like hours, but in reality were only minutes, Jason arrived at the hospital. He ran off the elevator, and he immediately spotted Bobbie. “Bobbie, where’s my wife?” Jason demanded, panic going through him. Bobbie looked at him; she didn't know how to tell him that his wife had just been raped. Jason saw the nervous look on her face, ‘oh god, it’s really bad’ he thought to himself. “Bobbie, what happened to Courtney?” Jason asked again.

Bobbie took a deep breath, and looked Jason straight in the eye, “Courtney...was...was raped.”

Jason’s heart fell, his wife was raped, how was she going to get through this. He blamed himself, he had always promised to protect her. Even though they had been separated, he told her that he would always protect her, and in a way, he let her down. 

Jason looked back at Bobbie, “Can I see her?” he asks.

“Yeah, she’s in room 214, last time I checked she was still sleeping.”  Jason nodded, started on his journey towards Courtney’s room. Bobbie looked on as Jason walked away, her heart breaking for Jason and Courtney, and she had never seen two people more in love, than them. They always put each other first, and they were always there for each other. They weren’t like Sonny and Carly, who claimed to love each other, and then the next thing you know, they are each jumping in bed with somebody else. Bobbie sighed, and turned to walk back toward the nurse’s station, she had tried to call Carly and Sonny earlier once Courtney had gotten to the hospital, but she couldn’t get a hold of them, and she knew why.

Jason had been standing outside of Courtney’s room for a couple of minutes, just watching her sleep, she looked so peaceful, and he didn't want to disturb her.

“She’s going to need you to help her through this when she wakes up.” Jason turned to look for the source of the voice, and saw Monica. “Bobbie told me what happened, Courtney’s going to need you.”

Jason looked at Monica, he had never been the one to ask advice, especially from a Quartermaine, “what am I suppose to do, if she tries to push me away?”

Monica looked at Jason, “you don’t let her push you away, let her know you will always be there for her.” Monica looked away from her son, to Courtney, who was starting to wake up. “Go in there, and let her know you will always be there for her.”

Jason looked at Monica one more time, before he opened the door, to his wife’s room. Courtney turned around to see who it was, “hey,” Jason whispers.

“Jason,” Courtney whispered, as tears started to rush down her cheeks, “I didn’t think you would come to see me,” she said, before turning, so her back was facing him, she let more tears roll down her cheeks.

Jason’s heart fell when he heard her say that she didn’t think he would come. He cautiously walked over to her bedside, and sat down in the chair, “Courtney, why would you think that I wouldn’t come?”

Courtney turned around, but she didn't look Jason straight in the eye, “because Brian did it.”

Chapter 3- Do you still love me?

Courtney turned to look at Jason, “because Brain did it.”

The fact that Brian was the one who did this to his wife, made Jason so angry, he wanted to hunt Brian down, and kill him right now. 

Courtney looked at Jason, and she tried to read the emotions that were going through him, but this was the one time she couldn’t. “Jason, you don’t have to stay, I understand if you don’t want me anymore,” she said, trying to hold back the tears.

“Courtney, I will always love you and want you, nothing or nobody can change how I feel,” Jason answered, before pulling Courtney into a hug.

For hours, Jason held Courtney while she cried, and she eventually fell asleep in his arms.  But sleep wouldn’t come for Jason, he laid awake thinking about everything that happened tonight, and how he couldn’t help but feel guilty, if he would have protected her more, and if he would have watched out for Brian more, then maybe this would have never happened.

------

The next morning, Jason woke up around 8:00, to see Courtney sound asleep in his arms. He hated to let her go, but he needed to call someone, he gently laid her down on the bed, and got up. After he covered her up with a blanket, he left her room.

He walked over to the nurse’s station, where he saw Monica. She turned around to see him. “Hey Jason, how is she?”

Jason rubbed his eyes and sighed, “she slept well last night, and I guess that’s a good thing,”

Monica nodded, “after she wakes up, and she gets checked out again, she should be able to go home.” She paused for a second, before continuing, “this is really none of my business, but it would help Courtney a lot, if she didn’t go home alone. Now I have to go check up on some patients, but I’ll be back in a couple of hours, to check on Courtney,” and with that, Monica left Jason to think about what she said.

But Jason didn’t need to think about what Monica said; he already knew he wasn’t going to be letting Courtney go home alone. He grabbed his cell phone out of his pocket, and dialed the familiar number. When Sonny didn’t answer, he right away knew where he was. He was with that slut Sam, and he hated it. Just a couple of months ago, Carly and Sonny were together, and they were excitedly anticipating the birth of Morgan. And Courtney and him were newlyweds.

He then dialed another number, and when Carly didn’t answer, he knew that she was with Alcazar, the man that was responsible for the death of his and Courtney’s child. The man that held her and Courtney captive, the man that stalked her for weeks and sent her unwanted gifts. The man that ultimately ruined her marriage.

Back in Courtney’s hospital room, she woke up alone, it took her awhile to remember why she was in the hospital, but then it all came back to her, and so did the tears.

As she remembered everything about last night, she remembered Jason coming to her, and she began to wonder if that part was just a dream. She started to scan her room, and her eyes fell on Jason’s leather jacket, that was sitting on the chair next to her bed. She slowly walked out of her bed and grabbed Jason’s jacket.

She wrapped herself in his jacket, and settled herself back in her bed, and quickly fell back to sleep.  If she wasn’t in his arms, his leather jacket was the next best thing.

~Happy Easter! ~~Ok, I know this was a short chapter, but it’s better than nothing. It took me awhile, because I kind of got stuck, and I don’t think this chapter was one of my best. If you like it, or if you have any suggestions please leave feedback. I will try and get another chapter out soon, but it might be awhile cuz I have a 10 pg research paper for American History. Who knew my 10^th grade American history teacher could be so unfair.

Anyway, if it takes awhile to update that is why.

Also the next couple of chapters will bring about everybody else’s reaction on what happened to Courtney, and how Brian is dealt with.
