Courtney felt her heart squeze when she heard his plea. Jason never asked for help, that was one of the only infuriating things about him. * The wound must be really bad. Normally he would just say that he was fine or shrug it off as a scratch.* Courtney thought.

“Jason, can you hear me?” She spoke softly to him while holding his still hand. “Baby I know it hurts and I know all you want to do is sleep, but you have to stay with me here okay?”

Jason’s eyes fluttered open again. “Courtney how d-did you get here?”

“I was out walking. Jason, I’m going to call Sonny okay?”

“Okay” he whispered. He was so tired. The pain in his stomach was blinding him. Each word, each breath was costing him.

Courtney sensed this. “Shhh, don’t talk, honey, save your strengh.” She took out her cell phone and quickly dialed the number to the penthouse. * Answer, god damn it!*

“Sonny! Its me Courtney. Sonny, you need to get here fast. Jasons been shot. He looks really bad.” Courtney told him in a fast rush.

“Whoa, slow down. Whats wrong with Jason?”

“He’s shot Sonny.” Courtney’s grip on Jason’s hand tightened when a cough came over him. He was getting paler by the second and a pool of blood was forming underneath him.

“What? How bad?” Sonny felt like he had been punched in the gut. * No, not Jason too. I can’t lose him and Carly. Let it just be a graze or something small.* he silently prayed.

“Its bad, he looks so pale, and Sonny, there so much blood.”

“Where are you?” Urgency had crept into his voice.

“Brooklyn Ave. The alley.” She told him as she noticed Jason’s breathing get slower.

“Keep him awake- I’ll be right there.”

“Hurry” she begged.

Sonny slammed down the phone and grabbed his jacket. He opened the door and spoke to the guard. “Jason’s been shot, Brooklyn Ave, the Alley. Courtneys with him, we need to go!” Johnny and Marco followed him to the elevator. * Please don’t let us be to late.*

Courtney ended the call. “Sonnys going to be here soon Jase. You just focus on me okay? Stay with me Jason.” He looked so sick. She could see the pain in his eyes. Jason’s breathing was even slower than it had been when she was on the phone with Sonny. *Oh god, hes dying*. “Hang on baby.” She repeated over and over again.

In what seemed like a century to Courtney but was really only a few minutes she saw a car pull up. “See that Jason? Sonnys here, we’re going home now, baby.” She informed the fading Jason.

Sonny ran from the limo, closely followed by the Johnny and Marco. He got to Jason’s side and leaned down next to him. Sonny viewed the damage. * Shit - this is bad.*. There was a pool of blood under his best friend and he had never seen Jason look so pale or still before. Tears were running down his sister’s face. She was tightly gripping Jason’s hand. He heard a sharp intake of breath behind him. Marco or Johnny must have came up with the same prognosis he had.

From his kneeling position he leaned closer to Jason. “Jase, man we’re gonna help you to the car okay?”

“Okay Sonny.” Jason whispered.

“I just gotta know one thing in case you pass out okay man? Who did this to you?” He would get justice for his surrogate little brother no matter who it was.

“Ric” Jason whispered to his friend.

Both Courtney and Sonny were shocked. They had honestly believed Ric’s vow of peace. Jason knew the looks on their faces was shock. “Yeah.” Was all he managed to get out before the darkness finally claimed him.

Courtney was horrified to see Jason’s eyes close. “Jason, wake up!” But even she knew that he wasn’t going to this time. If they didn’t get him help soon then he would be dead.

“Johnny, Marco lets get him out of here! One of you call Doctor Anderson.” Sonny instructed. The loyal mob doctor had nursed some of the bigger wounds aquired by this men. This would be the 4th time he was called for Jason. Sonny had to have the doctor come when Jason came home badly beaten, there were so many wounds Carly could patch up with her knowledge from her brief nursing career.

He wondered about what Jason had said. *Why would Ric shoot Jason? Oh god, he must have been right. Ric has Carly. Jason must have confronted him alone because I was too stupid to see the truth. This is all my fault*. Sonny felt the guilt as he watched his friend be carried to the car.

Courtney continued to hold Jason’s hand as the guys gently lay him down on the back bench of the limo. “Fight Jason, I won’t let you give up now.” She whispered in his ear. She was trying to be brave but in truth, she was terrifed of losing him.
