Coming out of his memories he kicked the coffee table across the room but, he was wrong. She lied she said she wouldn't leave and did. But what bothered him most was why was she back now he wondered

Next Morning:

Liz hadn't gotten much sleep. Why is Jason angry at me. She didn't understand. She should be angry with him. He was the one who cut all ties with her. She remembered the day she left.

Flashback:

"So your really gona do it?" Jason asked.

"Yeah. It's always been the plan. I would travel through Europe you know do the struggling artist thing." She replied.

"I don't think you can be a 'struggling artist' if you have a trust fund." Jason teased.

"That's because you have no imagination. Just because I have money doesn't mean I have to spend it. My trust doesn't kick in till I'm twenty-six anyway."

"Poor little mob princess has to live off the interest."

"Hey I haven't spent a dime of that money and I don't ever plan to." She snapped.

"It's just money you might as well take it."

"It's his money. I don't want anything from him." Her family was infamous. Maffia royalty. The Webber's were once the most powerful and feared crime family. They had ties all over the world. But like all great dynasties they had died out. She was the last or she should say last known Webber. Her Grandfather Stephen had been in control during the height of their power. He had three sons Jeff, Mark and, Stephen Jr. He brought his son's up in the life, taught and trained them how to survive. But, it seems they weren't cut out for it. Mark loved to travel he took care of business relations with their international partners. Liz could recall how he would sit when he visited and tell her about all the places he'd been and thing's he'd seen. She wore a black velvet dress with pink embroidery to his funeral when she was eight. Stephen Jr or Stevie, was the smart one he went to Law school and was an excellent attorney. He was always around to make sure the charges didn't stick. That funeral was harder she'd been twelve, and sat wondering if he, his wife and three year old son had been scared when their car exploded on the way home from church. That just left her Father and Herself. Sure their were a handful of cousins and other distant family members but the core of the organization had been crumbling. She never met her mother, She died in child birth, a fact her father loved to remind her of. He constantly would remind her how she 'killed her mother' and how useless she was. After Stevie's death the relatives started to disappear. She had been to more funeral's than she could count. She had closets full of black dresses. Their line was dying out and her father knew it. He blamed her for not having a son, for taking away his wife, for existing. To the outside world he was charming, handsome, rich, and yes a criminal but, behind closed doors he was a monster. As any child growing up in the business she had been trained to show no emotions to the outside world, you don't let people know when your scared, you don't let them know what's important, you don't let them see how they've gotten to you. It was for your own protection, to keep you safe but, maybe it was why no one knew how much pain she was in. Well not no one, one person had taken the time to look past that wall and saw the hurt, and loneliness.

"He's dead, he can't hurt you anymore." Jason reassured her.

"Tell that to my nightmares" She muttered.

"I'm really gona miss you."He admitted.

"We talked about this my leaving will make things easier. You can come with me."

"You know I can't. I've got people here depending on me."

"Well if you ever change your mind you'll know where to find me. Plus I'm gona write and call so much you'll get sick of hearing from me."

"I'm still gona miss you. It wont be the same."

"I know." She said throwing her arms around him. "I'll see you later."

"Yeah, I'll see you later." He replied kissing her forehead.

She was startled from her memories by a knock on her door.

"Liz are you awake." AJ called softly.

"Yeah come in." She called tying her robe around her. As soon as she stood up the nausea hit her. She ran for the bathroom.

"You ok." AJ asked concerned.

"Yeah, it come's and goes. Some days are better than others."

"So how did it go at Sonny and Carly's?"

"Good. It was great to see them."

"Did you tell them?" He asked.

"No not yet. I need some more time."

"Their gona figure it out eventually. You can't hide it."

"I know but, I just want to things to be normal for a while you know."

"Yeah. So have you seen him."

She didn't need to ask who he was she knew. "He hates me."

"Why would you think that." He asked shocked.

"I don't know maybe it was the cold look and slammed door that tipped me off. It's funny I should be mad at him. But, I can't be. Not now."

"You need to tell him the truth."

"I can't not yet. I want to know what happened and see if he wants me back in his life. If I tell him he wont be honest. You haven't told anyone, have you?" She asked.

"No and I wont, I promised you. But, just because I don't say anything doesn't mean people aren't going to find out. It'll be better if they hear it from you."

"I know. I have to get ready to meet Carly for lunch."

"I don't know how you put up with her."

"You know she says the same about you. But, who are you to talk you married her." She laughed.

"Don't remind me." He groaned walking out the door.

She walked downstairs glancing at her watch she was gona e late. It wasn't her fault she hadn't expected to get so sick this morning maybe it was all the traveling. I hope Carly hasn't been waiting to long she thought as she walked towards the door. Bumping into someone.

"Sorry" She said looking up. "Dillion right."

"Yeah it's ok." He replied.

"I'm just in a rush I'm meeting a friend for lunch and I'm running late."

"Well I'm going to Kelly's to meet up with a friend but, I could drop you off on the way." He offered.

"Really, That's were I'm heading." She replied grabbing his arm. "So tell me about this friend, is it a girl." She teased.

By the time they reached Kelly's Dillion had told her all about his relationship with Georgie. He was surprised by her. He thought anyone who was so well liked by the entire Quartermain clan and liked them all back had to be nuts. But, she was nice. They walked into Kelly's laughing. Liz scanned the room.

"Great all that rush and she's not even here yet." Liz complained laughing.

"Georgie's over there with her sister. You can sit with us till she gets here." He offered.

"Thanks." She glanced over at the two young blondes one, of which was glaring at her. That must be her she thought. She almost laughed. Dillion was what sixteen, ten years younger than her she wasn't that desperate. "I think she's jealous." She whispered as they walked over.

"I wish." He whispered back.

"Somebody likes you and I think you like her back." She teased.

"Grow up." He replied.

"Hey guys" he said when they reached the table.

"Hi." Maxie replied.

"Hello." Georgie said coldly.

"You were right Dillion, she is gorgeous." Liz said to tease him and stop Georgie from giving her death glares.

"W-What!" Georgie stuttered. Turning red as did Dillion.

"Aren't they cute." Liz asked Maxie laughing.

"So cute it makes me physically ill sometimes." Maxie responded joining in the teasing.

"Shut up." Dillion and Georgie replied.

"Aren't you going to introduce us." Georgie asked acting much friendlier as they all sat.

"This is Elisabeth, She's staying with the Q's."

"Elisabeth Webber?" Georgie asked shocked.

"I knew I recognized you." Maxie added.

"Maybe I should wait at the counter." Liz said uncomfortably.

"Why" Dillion asked.

"Long story." She replied standing up.

"Well look who came crawling into town." Came a voice from behind her.

"You'd think she'd have learnt no one here wanted her to by now." Came a second voice.

Liz groaned. It couldn't be but, she knew it was. "Robin, Brenda so nice to see you." She replied sarcastically.

"That's why." Georgie told Dillion.

She knew this wasn't going to be pretty but as her life went things always seemed to go from bad to worse. Just as she was prepared to walk away and ignore them Carly finally decided to show up, no chance of that now.

"So you came rushing back to steal Jason again." Robin spat.

"Last time I checked you to weren't together so how could I steal him." She responded.

"Yeah Jason kick you to the curb a long time ago little miss perfect." Carly added.

"And I bet you couldn't wait to rush back so you could have him." Robin accused.

"Yes more than four years after your breakup I come rushing home to seduce him. You figured me out." She said rolling her eyes.

"So then why come back now? Jason made it clear he wanted nothing to do with you, what's left for you here?" Robin replied.

Robin hit a nerve. She never knew why Jason cut her out of his life and it hurt having that bitch throw it in her face. "You don't know anything about my friendship with Jason so shut."

"I know he hasn't been in contact with you since you left." Robin replied smugly.

"It was you! Wasn't it." Liz yelled furious. "You did it."

"Did what?" Robin asked innocently laughing.

"You know what you bitch. How could you." Liz demanded.

"It was easier than you would think. What are you gona do tell on me. He'll never believe you." Robin replied smugly. "He picked me over you once and he'll do it again."

"He didn't pick you I left." Liz defended.

"Sure keep telling yourself that." Robin laughed. "How does it feel to know he'd rather be with a dying woman than you?"

"You know he married me." Brenda added. "He hates me and we thought I was dying but, he married me, He chose a dying woman over you twice."

"Shut up you bitch. He only did that because Sonny felt bad for you." Carly spat.

"Why don't you two just grow up. Jason is a person not some kind of prize in your sick games." Liz spat.

"Ohh does it hurt. Knowing he'd rather be with someone he hates than you?" Brenda gloated.

"I don't know Brenda. Does it hurt that you got the man who hates you to marry you but, both the men who claimed to love you left you at the alter?" Liz asked.

"You bitch." Brenda said. Liz's words threw salt in wounds that had yet to heal.

"Truth hurts, huh sweetie." Carly laughed.

"Don't listen to her Bren, She's an unfeeling bitch. She's incapable of any real emotions. I bet she doesn't even feel sorry that I'm dying." Robin Replied.

"Your right I don't not even a tiny bit." Liz stated calmly. Which caused a collectives gasp thought the restaurant. Even Carly was Shocked.

"Your horrible." Brenda said slapping her across the face.

Liz grabbed her wrist. "You really don't want to mess with me." She replied calmly.

"She could have you arrested for assault." Carly added. "But, it would be much more fun to watch her kick your ass."

"Everybody calm down." Sonny boomed.

The women turned to see him and Jason standing watching them.

"How long have you guys been there." Carly asked with a groan.

"We walked in right after you. Got front row seats." Sonny said without any amusement.

"She started it." Robin cut in. She, Brenda and Carly looked away from the men guiltily.

"Whatever you say." Liz said dropping Brenda's wrist. "I'm sick of this. Why don't you two find some other hobby and leave me alone." She added walking out the door.

"Liz wait." Carly tried to stop her. But she was already gone.

"Jason did you hear what she said to me." Robin said producing a few fake tears. "She's so mean."

"Yeah I heard what you said to." Jason replied coldly. He ran out the door hoping he could catch up with Liz.

"Sonny." Carly began hoping to avoid a lecture.

"Save it Carly." He cut in. Causing Brenda to smirk. "You two." He began turning to Brenda and Robin. "Leave my family alone. That includes Elisabeth." He finished coldly glaring at them.

"Sonny how can you say that to me after everything. I thought you considered me family. How can you turn your back on me?" Robin whined.

"It's not as hard as you'd think" Sonny replied leading Carly out the door.
