An Angel Wronged
Chapter 3
Previously…
Elizabeth was about to respond as her cell went off. All three looked at her expectantly and Elizabeth gulped as she found it and answered it without looking at who was calling in fear.
"Hello?" Elizabeth croaked nervously. The two boys waited patiently to see who it was and if it was who they were thinking.
Moments later, Elizabeth breathed a sigh of relief. "Oh, it's only you Gram." Elizabeth spoke and the boys just shook their heads at Liz, disappointed.
The boys listened to the conversation closely. "I didn't mean it like that." Elizabeth insisted, and they snickered softly, finding the situation funny.
"I'm at Kelly's with Lucky and Nikolas." The conversation continued. "You're going to do the night shift for Miriam? Okay, so you're not going to be home till the morning? Okay, see you then, love you too." Elizabeth ended the conversation.
Lucky and Nikolas waited a second after she ended the phone call to start bursting out loud with laughter. She gave them dirty looks, seeing nothing funny. "What?" She demanded.
After getting control of themselves, Lucky answered. "You should have seen your face; you were so scared that you were nearly stuttering!" They burst out laughing again when they relieved the moment.
A few minutes later Nikolas got a phone call of his own and had to leave. Lucky and Elizabeth hung around for a few minutes more before Lucky had to go himself, leaving Elizabeth all alone. Elizabeth paid the bill, complaining that was the male's job, and left.
Elizabeth walked to the docks again, passing the Quartermaine mansion as she did. She stopped to admire and look at it, thinking her best friend was going to come out. She eventually realized that it wasn't going to happen when reality hit and walked the rest of the distance to the docks without noticing anything.
There, Elizabeth admitted it; she was ashamed of herself and missed Emily dearly. She had Lucky and Nikolas, but face it, Emily was her only female friend. She cared for Nikolas and Lucky as far as friendship went, but sometimes male friends don't understand, that stuff reserved for the female friends.
She didn't know why, but the females here didn't care for her too much, Emily had the similar problem, but not as much as her. Emily was likable and eventually she warmed up to people, the females anyway, she somehow got every guy's attention. The minute she walked in the male attention was on her. From what she heard of when Emily first came to Port Charles, she made friends with all males, the older females respect, but anyone near her age and of the female gender, no. In fact he only enemies Emily truly had been of the female gender.
It's not surprising that they started that way. She was jealous of Emily. Emily had everything in her mind: money, power, and the males' complete attention. She stayed like that for a while, before Tom came around. The more Elizabeth knew about her during that period, she found out Emily's life wasn't all glamorous as she thought. The result a friendship she had never known would be so great.
All of Port Charles found, eventually, the best friendship you could have is one with Emily. Some haven't figured that out yet, but it was the truth. When Emily was on your side, you couldn't lose. She was down to earth and knew bad by the definition. If she could have one friend in the world until you die it would be Emily. She is fiercely loyal and a good listener. Sometimes a little selfish and attentive, but who wasn't occasionally? Even she had her moments.
And here she was here now, finally realizing this and she was this close to losing that friendship. But it also gave her strength to face the consequences. Waiting to tell Emily will only make it worse, so she took out her cell phone and dialed the familiar number that she knew by heart because they called each other so much.
Elizabeth waited patiently for Emily to pick up, hoping she would talk to her at least. Truthfully, she was worried. She acted like she wasn't at Kelly's because it was how she felt. The longer Emily stayed away, the longer she didn't know of her relationship with Zander. She feels differently now though.
Elizabeth frowned and sighed when she got Emily's mail box. She waited until it was done to record a message.
"Emily, its Elizabeth. Call me, everyone is worried, you've been much too quiet lately and that isn't like you. Listen, I need to tell you something important that is going on here in Port Charles, and it doesn't feel right to tell you in this message. It's better told when were connected and at least talking. Call me ASAP, okay?" Elizabeth practically begged as the message length ended.
Disappointed, Elizabeth went home to wait for her to call even though a part of her knew Emily wouldn't.
