A/N: Hi All! So after I wrote Stronger I began getting requests for another Hurt/Comfort/Romance. I had no ideas for a story. None. Then a very good friend of mine who likes how I re-work GH history made a request. Take a plot line that was not written for Liason and make it their story. She gave me the story line, asked me to keep the original male lead, and to incorporate Tom Baker. Talk about a challenge! This is what I came up with. The story is darker than anything I've done before and presented a new challenge.

My beta, Liason102, went above and beyond on this one. Reading it twice. Once just to make sure it made sense, and then a second time to do the edit. Thank you so much Liason102 for your support and encouragement. YOU ARE AWESOME!

I love reviews. Please be polite, to me and the others on the site. Remember this story was a request so even if it's not your thing someone else wanted to read it. If you don't like it, then don't read it.

Rated MA for violence, sex, and language.

The story is complete and is 91 chapters long. We will be following the posting schedule of daily updates with double updates on Tuesdays and Fridays. If I need to change the double update day than I will let you know.

I had trouble starting this one so if the beginning seems abrupt that is why.

Chapter 1

"Jason are you listening?" Elizabeth asked the blonde sitting across from her.

"I have somewhere else to be." Jason said pushing away from the table in the middle of their conversation and leaving a confused Elizabeth behind him. Normally he was fine listening to her talk about her boyfriend but not today. This afternoon he just couldn't do it. He couldn't sit there and pretend to care what her prep school love wanted.

By the time he reached his bike he was calling himself all kinds of names. Straddling the Harley he just shook his head as he jammed the key in the ignition slot. He often thought of her boyfriend as being an asshole but today that was him, not Kiefer. Jason was jealous because the other man had what he wanted most. Elizabeth as a girlfriend.

If Jason wasn't such a coward, then Elizabeth would be his girl. Instead of telling her that he was half way to being in love with her, he'd gone out and started sleeping with Lisa. A woman that wasn't anywhere near being right for him. Even Max couldn't stomach her and the big guard liked everyone.

Lisa wasn't interested in him as a person, she just wanted to be Jason Morgan's girlfriend. For once he actually missed his sister Emily's annoying habit of telling him that the woman he was seeing was just a gold digger. The woman he could talk to, about anything, was now dating someone else. Someone who probably didn't even appreciate the gift he'd been given.

Jason didn't like Kiefer, something everyone knew. What they didn't know was that he didn't trust him either. Normally the enforcer was all about following his instincts, but in this case he couldn't. In this instance his envy was coloring how he behaved. Otherwise he wouldn't have just walked away from Elizabeth. Especially since he still didn't know why she had called him and asked to meet for lunch. She said she needed something and her asking for help was rare. He'd call later and find out what was up. Starting the engine of the powerful machine Jason could only hope she wouldn't be upset. He didn't want to screw up the best thing in his life.

Elizabeth tried to figure out what the hell just happened. She'd met Jason for lunch needing to speak with him. Things were fine until she mentioned Kiefer. From that point on things had gone rapidly downhill. Jason had gotten tense and tuned out of the conversation.

She knew that he didn't like her boyfriend. None of the guys liked her boyfriend. Having the men of the Corinthos Morgan organization as friends was like having thirty overprotective brothers. No guy would be good enough to date her. They had been Lucky's friends first and when he died they had become hers. None more so than Jason.

The fact that they'd gotten so close still surprised her. Jason wasn't known for his people skills. He was considered hard to get close too. Especially where women were concerned. After Carly ran off and married Jason's older brother AJ, one of the people he hated most on the planet, he stopped doing relationships. He did sex and one night stands, but he didn't date. At least he didn't until Lisa came along.

Elizabeth would never admit that she'd been crushed when Jason started dating the other woman. She smiled and was welcoming, but inside she'd been screaming. Because she wanted to be the one Jason dated. She wanted to be his girlfriend. Had wanted that since about six months after Lucky died. The feeling surprised her and made her feel guilty, so she ignored them. Until she couldn't.

Just when she decided it was time to be open about what she was feeling, on the slim chance that he might feel the same, Lisa came along. She didn't blame Jason. Lisa was stunning and she turned heads when she walked into a room. When she and Jason stood next to each other they may as well have the words golden couple over their heads. She was perfect, just the type of girlfriend a mob enforcer should have.

Didn't mean it didn't suck. So Elizabeth started dating Kiefer. It didn't take long before it became clear that it was a mistake. One she had no idea how to correct. Every time she opened her mouth to say something the words wouldn't come out. Now she worried that it was too late. She didn't know if she would find the courage to speak to Jason again.

On shaking legs she rose from the table noting that even though Jason was angry he'd still left money to cover the bill. Walking slowly out of the courtyard she tried to figure out what to do now. Today was the day she was going to ask for Jason's help. Today was the day, she was going to get her life back. Last night she'd realized that sometimes you just needed the help of others. This was one of those occasions when she needed her friends.

Now she was alone, and even more afraid. There was a reason she'd kept what was happening in her life a secret. The Bauer's were one of Port Charles's leading families. Warren, Kiefer's dad, was a powerful attorney and Melinda, her boyfriend's mother, was on the hospital board. They were not a family people messed with. Elizabeth sat on her favorite bench at the docks and sighed.

She missed her Gram, the older woman now lived in France with Steven. Ironically once Audrey moved she and her Gram had gotten a lot closer. Audrey had even come to accept Jason and Sonny as part of her life. She could really use her guidance now.

She also missed Emily. Her friend was going to school in California. She and Juan were building a life away from the drama that was Port Charles. Elizabeth still talked to the young woman a couple times a month, but she couldn't share something like this over the phone. Taking a deep breath Elizabeth decided that something needed to change. Today was the day she took her life back. If she had to do it on her own, that was fine. She was strong enough to end this. Maybe then she would talk with Jason.

Jason was sitting in his penthouse drinking a beer when Lisa walked in. He knew what was coming. They would sit, have dinner, have sex, and then she would bring up moving in. Over the last month they'd settled into a predictable rhythm. She kept saying it was time to take the next step, they'd been dating for six months and she spent damn near every night with him as it was. Why wouldn't he just agree they should live together?

That was a good question. One that up until an hour ago he couldn't answer. That wasn't true, he could answer it, he just didn't want to answer it. He didn't want her to move in because he didn't have those kinds of feelings for her. He felt that way with Carly, and close to it with Courtney, with Lisa there wasn't even a spark. But there was with Elizabeth. Hell with Elizabeth there wasn't a spark there was an all-consuming inferno. Without going on one date, he'd move her in tomorrow if she agreed.

Jason didn't cheat, and he would never ask Elizabeth to be unfaithful. He also respected other people's relationships, but if she gave him one hint that she wanted to be more than his friend he would take her from the younger man. He'd go all out until she was beside him where she belonged.

Even if he'd lost his shot with Elizabeth, it wasn't too late to do something about Lisa. He was using her and that was just wrong. The sex was good, but nothing else between them was right. Nothing else fit. It was time to end this.

"So, what do you want for dinner?" Lisa asked joining him on the couch.

"I can't do this anymore." He said looking at her. This was going to get ugly. Lisa was very much into dramatics, but the longer he waited the worse it would be. Hell the way he'd been drifting through this relationship they'd end up married before he spoke up.

"Do what?" Lisa asked pretending not to understand. She knew this was coming and she knew why. Jason's best friend Elizabeth Webber. It didn't take a genius to see that the two of them had a connection that went further than just friendship. Lisa had come to see early on that she was just a place holder. As long as Jason didn't admit she wasn't going to either.

"This. Us. It's wrong. I don't have the feelings for you that I should. I never should have let this go on for as long as it did. I'm sorry." Jason said putting down his beer.

"So that's it. You say we're over and I'm just supposed to smile and say thanks." Lisa got to her feet and placed her hands on her hips. "I love you, doesn't that mean anything?"

Jason had no clue what to say to that. She didn't love him, he knew that for sure. Still this wasn't the time to call her out on that. Not unless he wanted things to get really ugly. "I'm sorry." He repeated, hoping that would be enough.

"You're sorry. That's all you have to say? Six months and all I get is I'm sorry." Lisa flung her arms in the air. "I deserve more than that."

"What do you want from me?" Jason was starting to get angry. He was giving her the truth. He wasn't stringing her along. "What do you want me to say?"

"I WANT THE TRUTH!" She yelled at him. "I want you to admit that Elizabeth is the reason you are walking away. That she is why you are dumping me. At least be a man about it."

"She's not the reason." Jason told her. It was true, if the petite brunette was waiting for him then that would be one thing. But she wasn't. She had a boyfriend. "I don't have feelings for you, not like the ones you have for me." Jason was trying to be honest.

"Fine." Lisa said turning on her heels. "But when she can't handle your life don't come crying to me." The angry woman stormed out of the penthouse. She was done with this no nothing little town. She had one stop to make before packing her things. She had a friend in Miami she could bunk with until she landed on her feet. If Jason wanted Elizabeth then he could have her. Or what was left after she dropped her little bomb.

Reaching for his jacket he decided to go for a ride before calling Elizabeth and asking her to meet somewhere. He wanted to know what she needed from him.

It didn't take long to find the person she was looking for. Years as someone who had to survive on their wits had taught Lisa how to get the information she wanted. Even from the most unwilling person. That was how she found herself sitting outside the large building waiting for Kiefer Bauer to make an appearance. "Kiefer." She called when he came down the steps.

"Yes?" He looked the attractive woman calling his name. She was a bit low rent for his taste but that plunging neckline on her shirt had him interested none the less.

"I'm Lisa Niles. Jason's ex-girlfriend." She stressed the ex part. She noticed how Kiefer tensed up at the enforcer's name. He didn't like that Elizabeth was friends with someone like that. Lisa knew that Kiefer had tried, on multiple occasions, to end that friendship. It was the one thing Elizabeth fought him on. "I thought you might like to know that Jason is planning on making a play for Elizabeth."

"And you're telling me this why?" Kiefer didn't like what he was hearing. Something he'd be sure to let Elizabeth know.

"Let's just say that Jason and I didn't end on the best of terms. I don't appreciate being used, and I'd hate to see you get hurt." Lisa could care less how this spoiled bully felt. She was a lot more observant than Elizabeth's so called friends, Jason included. She knew exactly what type of relationship Kiefer had with his girlfriend. That knowledge was going to pay off today.

"Thank you for the warning." Kiefer smirked. Jason wasn't going to get anywhere near Elizabeth. He'd see to that.

"No problem. Take care." Lisa walked away knowing that he was watching her ass in her skin tight jeans. Men were so easy. She'd get her revenge and not have to lift a finger. Jason Morgan would learn that no one dumped Lisa Niles.

Thanks for the reviews!
