I do not own General Hospital. This is a really a dark fic. It was an idea that kept popping up in my head. I do not mean to offend any LiRic fans. Please read and review. Thank you.
He used to buy her roses, even when things seemed to fall apart. It was his way of telling
her how he felt. . The flowers were of all colors depending on why he sent them. Pink
roses meant he was missing her. When she was having a bad day he sent orange roses to
cheer her up. Red roses confirmed that he loved her. Lily white roses meant he was sorry.
She often received lily white roses.
Ric loved everything about Elizabeth .Her almost lily-white skin framed by
her silky dark chestnut hair .The way she smiled so easily. When he was with her, he
would almost forget about his brother. Almost. She made him feel human . There was a
side to him that was dark, sick, twisted with hate against his brother .She would see that
side of him and it frightened her, made her wonder why she loved him in the first place
.She would leave him, but some how she always came back to him. Once, she left for a long time .It was after she thought he was using her to one up his brother. That by staying with her, while she was pregnant with another man's child proved him the better man. It made her sick to her stomach thinking that he was using her. She was gone for months. When she came back, she brought her son with her .He sent her a dozen lily white roses with a single red one everyday with a note begging her to let him talk to her. He wanted to explain too her why he had said that, how he wants more than anything does another chance to be family with her and her child, and how he knew he may not deserve one. At first, she would throw the roses away or give them to patients at the hospital. Soon, she found her self- staring at the notes he left, admiring the writing. She missed him. It was as simple as that. One day he came to her door with the roses. All he wanted to tell her, he was finally able to say. How he needed her, how when she was with him he didn't have to prove that he was the better man because she made him feel like he was. Everything, all the hurt, hates, and loneliness he felt all his life left him when she was there. She gave him his second chance and for a while they were happy.
For a while he thought he was whole, that the darkness had left. All it took was one confutation with Sony to ruin everything. His brother had said the Elizabeth stayed with him out of pity and a part him secretly believed that. He had a couple of drinks to try to numb the pain. He was still upset when he picked up his family for dinner. Elizabeth knew something was wrong, but he wouldn't tell her. They started fighting a little bit so he didn't see the truck coming towards them. He tried to turn out of the way, but it was too late. Part of their car was pinned between the car and a tree. Ric was some how thrown out of the car. He couldn't get them; they were trapped when the car caught on fire. He had to hear them scream as they died. His son calling out for his mother and Elizabeth crying softly.
She does not cry anymore. She is buried at the top of a hill, next to her son, where a chestnut tree stands. She was his every thing and now that she was gone, there was nothing left .He gives her one last rose, now that things have fallen apart .He lays the lily white rose on top of the grave. He pulls the trigger. The lily white rose is stained red, as a sign that he died loving her and was sorry for her pain.
