Chapter 29

Young Love and the heartbreaks that come with it

Author's note: I didn't really know what to call this chapter but it involves Lulu, Milo and Dillon and the triangle of love that surrounds them. There will be heartbreaks in this chapter, surprising friendships and the advice their new friends give them, and a father will decide to stick around. SO enjoy!

Jason as well as Elizabeth looked very surprised, but Jason was happy that Cameron said it, for to him it felt right. Elizabeth looked up at him and shrugged her shoulders like she was surprised at what happened and for Jason to ignore it. He smiled at her to let him know that it didn't bother him and then he walked to the door way that Milo had been standing in.

Just as he was about to talk to Milo doctors raced through the hall with Lulu on the stretcher to the OR.

A doctor shouted, "Get out of the way! Patient coming through!"

Milo glanced over to see Lulu coming there way, "Lulu? Oh my god Lulu! Jason I got to go."

Jason and Elizabeth were surprised at how concern he was for her for they didn't even know that they were friends.

He ran to the stretcher that was just about to pass Elizabeth's room, "What happened?" he asked the doctors.

"Who are you? What's your relationship with the patient?" one doctor asked.

As they were going past Elizabeth's room Jason and Elizabeth heard Milo say, "I'm her boy friend now tell me what's wrong with her!"

Jason and Elizabeth's mouths dropped, "I didn't know they were together?" Jason said.

"Well I didn't know who Milo was up until five minutes ago, but Lulu never mentioned him to me before. I hope she's ok." Elizabeth said in concern.

"She fell through the shower and is losing a lot of blood from the glass in her leg." One doctor said calmly.

"Ok well I'm coming with you." Milo said as his mind was completely focused on her now.

They were at the OR and they took her in as one doctor stayed out and explained to him what Milo could do, "You can watch in the OR although you shouldn't have much to worry about. It should be a simple surgery if we get their in time."

"OK well I'll wait right out here. Um how long will the surgery take?"

"I'm not sure hour at the most. If it takes longer we'll let you know." The doctor said before walking into the room.

Milo sat down on a bench which was across from the OR.

"Do you want me to check up on her?" Jason asked knowing that Elizabeth was close to Lulu because of the connection she had with Lucky.

"Yeah if you have time." Elizabeth asked.

"I have all the time in the world for you," Jason said still not realizing that he's been leading her on with all his kisses and flirtation.

Elizabeth smiled and when he left she blushed. She loved all the nice things he said to her and the kiss they just shared, but she tried not to read into it too much because she knew that he still loved Angela and that Jason's emotions were all over the place right now and that he just doesn't know how to deal with what he's feeling for her, Angela, his father and everyone else.

Jason walked down the hall where Milo was sitting on a bench where the OR was, "How is she?" he asked him.

"They said she fell through the shower and had glass all in her body. They're just removing it. She should be ok." Milo said trying to sound confident.

"Oh well I'm glad. So are you and Lulu…" Jason wasn't normally interested in Lulu's love life, but after they went on that road trip together to find spinelli he had grown to understand her a little bit better and grew to care about her.

"We're not an official couple, but we have this spark and chemistry and we got really close last night. I want to be more with her. I just said we were a couple so I could be the first to see her." Milo said with a smile. He missed Lulu and desperately needed to talk to her.

"Ok. Cause when we heard you say girl friend a minute ago we were a bit surprised." Jason said to him.

"Yeah well, I had to do whatever I could to see her. I care about her a lot. Carly help me realize that." Milo said as he was thankful for the advice Carly gave him.

"Carly's funny like that. She can help you when it really counts, when you really need her. Ok well you're off duty for the rest of the day. I'll be back here in a couple of hours and do you think if you get any updates on Lulu you can tell Elizabeth when you have the chance. She's a little worried about her." Jason asked so many things of the man and yet he could do it no questions asked. Jason started to see a little bit of himself in Milo.

"Yeah I can."

"Thanks. I'm just going to go back and check on her and then I'm gonna go. If you need something call me."

They said good bye and Jason walked back down the hall to see Elizabeth. As he opened the door he could tell that her and Cameron were sleeping so he decided he wouldn't disturb her. Jason walked into the main room and up to the nurse's station.

"Epiphany…" he said her name quietly for most of Lucky's family was in the waiting room and he didn't want them to hear what he was about to say.

She walked over, "Yes Mr. Morgan."

"Will you let me know if anything changes with Elizabeth?"

Luke had noticed Jason walk over the nurse's station and knew something was up. He definitely knew something was going on when he heard Jason say Elizabeth. Jason hadn't been talking loud, but Luke had read his lips. He wondered what Jason was doing here, why did he want to see Elizabeth and where the heck was Lucky?

Epiphany assured him that he would give him an update if something changed and then he left the hospital.

Half way through Lulu's surgery the same doctor that had talked to Milo before walked out of the OR and talked to him again.

Milo stood up, "How's the surgery going?"

"Very smoothly. We should be done in about half an hour. I don't expect anything to change. If you'd like to leave for a little bit you can. We can page you if something changes."

"Um ok. Thanks."

The doctor walked back into the OR and Milo walked to the window to see the surgery. It was a the first time he had looked through the window. She looked safe and Milo decided that now would be a good time to give Elizabeth that check up before he would go down to the hospital gift shop and bring Lulu some flowers.

He opened the door to Elizabeth's room and she was wide awake, "Hey." He quietly said not wanting to wake up Cameron.

"Hey. Milo right?" She asked wanting to make sure that it was the person who she thought it was.

"Yeah." He said as he sat in a chair on the right side of the room.

"Lulu should be ok. She fell through the shower and had bad cuts from the glass all over her body. Jason wanted me to tell you." Milo explained.

"Oh well I'm glad she's going to be ok. Thanks for the update." She said not knowing what else to say.

"Your welcome…Um how well do you know Lulu?" He was shy to ask her this, but he wanted to know a little more about the girl that made him fall so in love with her.

"Pretty well I guess. Her brother and I were married and have known each other for a very long time. I haven't talked with her much lately though. Is there something you'd like to know about her?" She asked wondering what Milo was thinking.

"um…well….actually never mind," he said chickening out of asking the question.

"Are you sure?" Elizabeth asked wondering more than ever what was on the man's mind.

Milo knew this would be a stupid question to ask and he really needed to stop losing confidence that Dillon would have a better chance of being with her than him, but he just couldn't help it.

"Well I was just wondering if you know how good her relationship with Dillon is?"

Elizabeth smiled, "Are you afraid that you might lose her to Dillon?"

Milo had a worried look on his face; he had been very emotional lately and felt as if he might need some more counseling.

Elizabeth saw him nod and his face got a little white, "Milo." She said as she leaned forward touching his hand.

"I don't know you very well, but you seem like a very nice and well mannered man. I can tell how much you really care for her and when she knows just how much you were worried about her when you thought she was in trouble she won't be thinking of Dillon at all."

He tried to make a smile.

"I haven't talked to her since she got pregnant and had the abortion, but all I know is that Dillon really hurt her. He broke her heart and when she found out she was pregnant and knew the he didn't love her in return, she changed. She became a different person. I don't think you have anything to worry about. You just tell her how you feel." Elizabeth said warm heartedly.

"I just can't lose her, you know. I've lost my brother. He was my only family and now that he's gone my only other purpose here in Port Charles is working for Sonny. I need her…Gosh I'm so embarrassed to be talking to you like this. Us bad ass mobster guys aren't suppose to be touch feely guys. I don't know how Jason and Sonny keep themselves together." Milo said feeling uncomfortable at just how honest he had been with Elizabeth while talking about Lulu.

"I think you've got it wrong. Jason and Sonny on the outside look like they have it all together, but really they're pretty emotional on the inside. Don't feel embarrassed talking about your feelings. You can come to me anytime." Elizabeth said trying to help the young man out.

He smiled; he knew why Jason liked her so much. "Thanks a lot. I know why Jason likes you so much."

She blushed, "I didn't do anything. I just listened."

"Well you helped me out and I know Jason is always a lot happier after he's talked with you."

He said goodbye and then left for the hospital gift shop where he bought her a couple different kinds of flowers. He remembered from their conversations that her mother liked daisies, so he got her a couple of those mixed in with roses and everything else the store had. He had a huge bouquet of flowers for he wanted to make her feel special. He made his way back up to the OR where the doctors had finished her surgery early. He saw a few doctors coming out of the room nearby and on the wall next to the door it said LULU SPENCER.

A doctor came out and spoke to Milo, "She's in her room now. She's still a little unconscious, but she should be waking up anytime now. You can see her while I go talk to the family."

"Is she going to be ok?" Milo asked.

"Yeah. She'll probably need some physical therapy with her leg, but she's doing well."

Milo smiled and walked into her room and put the flowers on a table and then he walked to the right side of her bed and sat down in the chair.

He grabbed her hand, "Hey lulu…We haven't even been apart for a day and I already miss you."

He kissed her hand, "I'm here now. You were here for me last night, it's only right that I be here for you."

Lulu was hearing a soft sincere voice talk to her. It was the voice of a man that she had been longing to be with. She needed to be with someone who would never leave her and never hurt her. She didn't have to guess who it was she knew it could only be one person. Milo.

She opened her eyes and saw Milo holding her hand and smiling because she had wakened up.

"Hey…" he said quietly.

She smiled, "Hi."

"I brought you some flowers. I didn't quite know what you liked so I brought you every kind that the gift shop had." He said sincerely.

That was Milo, he went above and beyond. She remembered when he packed her a lunch when she helped Jason find spinelli and now he was buying her every flower in the store.

"You didn't have too…" He interrupted her.

"I wanted too. I was bringing Cameron over to see Elizabeth when I saw them rush you to the OR."

She felt embarrassed that she had worried him over something so small that if she had been paying attention in the shower she wouldn't have been here.

"I'm sorry you saw me like that. I was just thinking about everything last night and I just forgot where I was." She tried to explain but he didn't need an explanation all he cared about was that she was alright.

"It's ok. The important thing is that you're alive. The doctors said you might need some physical therapy for your leg and I'm off duty for the rest of the day and the week. So I can help you."

She couldn't believe that he was being so openly honest with her.

The doctor walked into the waiting room where he saw Luke, Tracy and Dillon.

Luke stood up, "How is she?"

"She's doing well, the surgery was very successful. She'll probably need some physical therapy but she's going to be ok."

Dillon was relieved that she was ok, "Can we see her?"

"Yeah, but just one visitor….at a time…" Dillon ran off before the doctor could tell him that someone else was already in her room.

"Wait." He shouted but it was too late he was gone.

"She can only handle one visitor at a time." The doctor said.

Luke and Tracy looked at each other not understanding what the big deal was, who else would be seeing her.

"What's the problem if he goes to see her?" Luke asked.

"She's already got a visitor." The doctor said.

"Who?" Tracy asked annoyed as too who the doctors let in.

"Her boyfriend." The doctor said not knowing that they were unaware that she had one.

"Boyfriend?" Luke asked wondering how much he had actually missed while he was gone.

"Yeah a man name Milo." The doctor said as he looked at them in concerned. He hoped it wasn't a problem.

The doctor walked away to let her parents deal with what he had just said.

"Who is this Milo?" Luke asked wanting Tracy to explain exactly what had happened while he was gone.

"He works for Sonny Corintos." Tracy said.

"Oh ok." He said not a care in the world as to what she said.

"Oh. That's all you have to say. She's with a mob enforcer which equals trouble and danger. Don't you care?" She said frustrated at the fact that Luke wasn't doing anything about it.

"I care, but I'm friends with Sonny and I'm not about to tell my daughter who she can and can't fall in love with." He said as he sat down and she sat down next to him.

Dillon walked through the hallway and saw Lulu's room. He was outside of her room and was about to walk in to see her when he saw the door was open and noticed the man by her bedside. It stopped him dead cold.

"You don't even know how much I was worried about you. I'm not going to pressure you, but I want you to know that I really care about you. I really like you and if you like me then…" she interrupted him before he could propose for them to date.

"Milo…" She put her finger against his lips.

"Shut up and kiss me." She said kindly flirting with him.

She read his mind; he smiled and did just that. He leaned forward and kissed her. She had her eyes closed which was why she wasn't able to notice Dillon in the door way looking as if he was about to be sick. The kiss went on for about 30 seconds and Dillon started to back away from the door entrance.

No it couldn't be. She had chosen him over me. Why? Hadn't I showed her just how much I wanted to be with her? Dillon thought to himself as his heart was breaking.

"I'm so glad your ok." Milo whispered to Lulu.

"Me too." She said softly back to him.

He kissed her hand and quietly sat with her.

Dillon didn't hear the rest of their conversation and he ran down the hall trying to find a trash can in which he could throw up in. He found one right across from Elizabeth's room.

He stuck his head in the trash and was sick a few times. He couldn't believe that the other woman who he had been falling in love with didn't want to be with him. He had just lost his first love and now he was losing his second.

Elizabeth's door had been opened and she saw the young man be sick and then kick the trash can, "Are you ok? Whoever's out their?"

Dillon pulled his composure together and heard the woman from room across from the place where he had been sick.

He turned around and walked in, "I'm sorry you heard that. I'm just going to leave."

Elizabeth was getting her work cut out for her and it was only a little after eleven. She knew who the man was, but didn't know why he was feeling sick unless he had been thinking about the woman who he lost last night.

"You don't have to leave. I could use the company if that is you want to talk. Is there something I can help you with Dillon?" She asked kindly.

"Um well not really its just something I think I have to deal with on my own." Dillon said as he didn't want to bother her with his problems for she had enough of her own.

"ok, but if this is about Lulu. I might be able to help you." She said as he was about to leave her room.

He heard her say Lulu and he turned around, "Well I don't think you can see she's made it clear that Milo is who she wants and…"

"Is that so? Well how do you know that he is who she wants?" She couldn't help but want to laugh at all the men that were falling for Lulu, but she didn't for all the men that liked here were very emotional and wouldn't be able to take a joke right now.

He walked in a sat down at a couch that was far away from the bed, he didn't want to sit close to her for he now smelled bad since he was sick.

"I just saw her practically making out with him," Dillon said coldly for it was heard to say that she was with another man.

Wow that quick? Elizabeth asked herself. Milo sure did take her advice.

"I'm going to tell you the same thing I told Milo." She said and Dillon was surprised that she had also talked to him.

"He asked me about you and whether he thought he had chance with her because of the history she shared with you and I was honest with him so I'm going to be honest with you."

He looked at her wondering what she said about him.

"Dillon, when she got pregnant last summer and realized that you didn't lover her it broke her heart. It really hurt her and she changed. I'm not saying that she won't consider you because history does tend to make people want to go back to each other I know it did with Lucky and I…But right now I don't think Lulu really knows what she wants and if she does you might have to accept the fact that it might not be you. Lulu can't make a decision as to who she wants until she knows how everyone feels, if you're sure you like her or love her or whatever it is you feel for her you need to let her know, before it's too late."

"I don't think it's really going to matter, like I said she was making out with him."

"Sometimes when people we care about get hurt we are forced to come to terms with our feelings and sometimes we get caught up in the moment that we forget or sometimes not realize what we're doing. Just because you saw them in a very intimate moment doesn't mean that she doesn't have feelings for you." She tried to say as nicely and honestly as possible.

He smiled at her, "Well I should go I don't want your room to start smelling like barf."

They laughed and he quietly closed the door as he left.

Elizabeth meant every word that she said to both men. It was funny how similar they all were right now. They were all in the same emotional states. She was going through the same thing that Lulu was and the many other people of port Charles. While she was trying to figure out if Jason had feelings for her Milo and Dillon were trying to see if Lulu had feelings for them.
