From the Bottom of my Broken Heart

Disclaimer: From the bottom of my broken heart belongs to Britney Spears. I do not own GH, ABC, Disney or anything related to GH. This takes place when Juan questions Emily on who she loves. I don't like any pairing of Em and Juan or Em and Zander. Find out who she does fall in love with. It also takes place at a double wedding... This is actually a prequel to my first GH fic, Trials, Beginnings, A New Face and An Old One.

"Never look back," we said.
How was I to know I'd miss you so?
Loneliness up ahead, emptiness behind Where do I go?
And you didn't hear all my joy through my tears
All my hopes through my fears, did you know?
Still I miss you somehow

Chorus:
From the bottom of my broken heart
There's just a thing or two I'd like you to know
You were my first love, you were my true love
From the first kisses to the very last rose From the bottom of my broken heart
Even though time may find me somebody new
You were my real love, I never knew love 'Til there was you
From the bottom of my broken heart

"Baby," I said, "please stay".
Give our love a chance for one more day
We could have worked things out
Taking time is what my love's all about
But you put a dart, through my dreams, through my heart
And I'm back where I started again, never thought it would end

Chorus:
From the bottom of my broken heart
There's just a thing or two I'd like you to know
You were my first love, you were my true love
From the first kisses to the very last rose From the bottom of my broken heart
Even though time may find me somebody new
You were my real love, I never knew love 'Til there was you
From the bottom of my broken heart

You promised yourself, but to somebody else,
And you made it so perfectly clear Still I wish you were here

Chorus:
From the bottom of my broken heart
There's just a thing or two I'd like you to know
You were my first love, you were my true love
From the first kisses to the very last rose From the bottom of my broken heart
Even though time may find me somebody new
You were my real love, I never knew love 'Til there was you
From the bottom of my broken heart

"Never look back," we said. How was I to know I'd miss you so?


"Who do you love Emily? Me, or Him?" said a stern Juan to Emily at the police station. Zander just sat there in his chair wondering

"I, I-" started Emily with tears in her eyes.

"You what," he said.

"I don't love either one of you," said Em as she ran out crying. Juan stood there, frozen. Emily ran out into the pouring rain, hoping her true love was still at home...

Nikolas' cottage
15 minutes later

Nikolas was watching television when his doorbell rang.

"I'll get it!" shouted Gia as she bolted down the stairs. She opened the door to find Emily, standing on the front doorstep, soaking wet.

"Nik?" cried Em. Nikolas got up.

"Em! You're soaked!"

"Nik, what are your true feelings for me?" asked Em as she walked over to Nik. "I need to know right now."

"What are yours?" he replied.

"I still love you," she said.

"I know," replied Nik as he held her close. "I know. I still love you too."

Mt. Hebron Church
December 24th, 2002

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today in the sight of God, to join this Man and this woman. Do you, Lucas Lorenzo Spencer Jr., take Elizabeth Imogene Webber, to be your lawful wedded wife? To have and to hold, to love and to cherish, to honor forever, as long as you both shall live?"

"I do."

"Do you, Elizabeth Imogene Webber, take Lucas Lorenzo Spencer Jr., to be your lawful wedded husband? To have and to hold, to love and to cherish, to honor forever, as long as you both shall live?"

"I do," said Liz.

"Any objections?" No one objected.

"If not, continue with the rings." Lucky and Liz did the rings and said their vows and all that.

Finally the minister said, "By the power invested in me, and the state of New York, I now pronounce you, man and wife. You may kiss your bride." Lucky kissed Liz and stepped aside to let Nik and Em have their turn as all of the guests applauded.

"Nikolas and Emily. Emily and Nikolas. Two people destined for each other," said the minister.

Destined for each other, thought Emily.

"Do you, Nikolas Stavrosovich Cassidine, take Emily Bowen-Quartermaine, to have and to hold, to love and to cherish, to honor forever, as long as you both shall live?"

"I do," said Nikolas as he smiled at Em.

"Emily, do you take Nikolas as your husband and will you do the stuff I just said?" asked the minister and everyone laughed.

"I will and do," said Em with a laugh. Nik laughed. Monica and Alan smiled.

"Any objections?" No one objected to them either. "Okay. You may say your vows now."

Emily drew a deep breath as she started to speak.

"Nikolas, I love you with all my heart. That will never change. I love you forever and today. Never forget that or this day. I'm marrying you because I love you. Always."

Nik drew a deep breath and started to speak.

"Em, I love you too. I have for the longest time. I know now that what happened between me and Katherine Bell was a mistake, and that will never happen with us. I love you forever. Never forget that. I love you. Always." They put their rings on as well.

Finally the minister said, "By the power invested in me, and the state of New York, I now pronounce you, man and wife. You may kiss your bride." Nik and Em kissed. The four best friends finally got married. And all in the same day!

Nikolas' Cottage
That night.

Nik opened the door and carried Emily inside.

"Nik, I'm so glad we decided to stay home for our honeymoon," said Em. Nik set her on her feet and they kissed passionately.

"Me too," said Nik as they pulled away. "Let's go upstairs. I want to make love to my wife." Nik picked her up again and Emily giggled as they went upstairs.

June 20th, 2002
PCPD Headquarters
Mac Scorpio's Office
5:00 PM

"I don't care what Luke Spencer says," said Mac Scorpio into his phone. "He's a liar! If he thinks Helena Cassidine kidnapped his son and brainwashed him, then let him! You remember what happened between him and Felicia. That's how he lost my trust. Good-bye." Mac hung up the phone as Lieutenant Garcia walked in.

"Boss, I just got information on the Lucky Spencer case. We have proof that Helena Cassidine did indeed kidnap and brainwash Lucky Spencer."

"What are you talking about Garcia?"

"Records of a cottage bought by her in Nova Scotia 3 years ago were found in her bank account records," said Garcia. "I talked to Lucky. He said that the cottage was indeed bought by Helena and that he was there. We also called and asked the caretaker of that cottage some questions over the phone and he said that Lucky and Mrs. Cassidine were there for several months. Then she sold the cottage when she gained Lucky Spencer from Stefan Cassidine's hands." Garcia placed the records on Mac's desk. Mac carefully looked them over.

"Issue a warrant for her and Mr. Andropolous' arrest. I want Helena behind bars now that this evidence has shown up. Mr. Towel Boy is an accomplice."

"Right away boss," said Garcia. He left and Mac sighed.

This damn case is almost over, thought Mac. Now to prove that Helena is guilty...

Port Charles Hotel
Later that Night....

Helena was sitting at a table during the Nurse's Ball when Garcia came in with two officers. He spotted her and walked over to her.

"Why, Lt. Garcia, what a lovely surprise," said Helena as she stood up. "What can I do for you-"

"You can start by turning around. The game's up Helena."

"What on earth are you talking about?" she asked as she was turned around by the two officers.

Helena Cassidine, you are under arrest for the kidnapping of Lucky Spencer," said Garcia as he cuffed her. "You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to a lawyer. If you don't have or cannot afford one, we will provide you with one." Garcia went on as he led her out and everyone stood in the room, shocked. Alexis looked at Ned, then Emily and finally Nikolas. Luke, Laura, Lucky, Liz, and everyone laughed or cheered.

"Oh my god, Nikolas," said Em. "Do you realize what this means?"

"What Em?" he replied.

"With Helena in jail, you're in control of Spoon Island."

"Oh my god, you're right Em," said Alexis. "I backed out, Helena is in jail and Stefan is- is-" Alexis broke down. Ned comforted her and Nikolas just sat there.

"Me? In control of the Cassidine Empire?"

"I believe so," said Alexis.

"Wow," said Nik in amazement. Meanwhile, Lucy Coe came out on stage.

"Ladies and Geltlemen, welcome to the Ninth Annual Nurse's Ball!" said Lucy Coe. everyone applauded.

Meanwhile, in the PCPD Jail....


A woman rubs her hands and laughs. She grins and seems to want revenge.

"Soon, my young Nikolas." She laughs very hard. "You and Elizabeth Spencer will find out who you're real family is...."
