Authors Note: Sorry I have taken so long to update. Ahhhh. I've been so
busy, but you can expect another chapter after this one very soon! Thank
you all for you great reviews. Well, just to let you all know, I might be
over doing Courtney a little in up coming chapters, on the show she might
be a little more understanding. Anyways, I hope you enjoy this chapter.
When it comes to the mob, basically Alky keeps bothering Sonny, I'm not
really going to get into that aspect of GH. And just so you know, while all
this is going on Zander and Emily have broken up, just like on the show
except Zander asked Emily to marry him and she accepted.
There was a knock on the door, Jason looked to Liz, hoping it wasn't Ric. She got off the couch and headed toward the kitchen as Jason approached the door, "Who's there?" Jason asked standing about 4 feet from the door.
"It's me" Sonny said. Jason sighed looking back at Liz who re entered the room. Jason let Sonny in who didn't notice Elizabeth. Elizabeth sat down in the armchair as she grabbed the latest Cosmo magazine. "There's trouble down at the pier Jason, some strange men, possibly Alcazar's."
Jason nodded, "Do you want me to take care of it?"
Sonny nodded and Jason turned back to Liz, Sonny followed Jason's gaze and saw Elizabeth, "What's Elizabeth doing here?" Elizabeth kept flipping through pretending not to be listening.
Jason sighed, "Ric attacked her...us, last night. She needs some where to stay, so I brought her here."
Sonny nodded noticing the bandage and bruises on Elizabeth, "Did he do all that to her?" Elizabeth began to get irritated as Sonny kept referring to her as if she wasn't in the room.
"Yeah" Jason quietly said.
"Want to put a guard at the door while you're gone?" Sonny asked Jason.
Jason nodded, "Yeah, its about time Elizabeth had a guard." Elizabeth looked up from the magazine, her eyes met Sonny's and Sonny understood, Elizabeth didn't want to be left alone, not even with a guard at the door. She wanted someone she knew with her. Sonny turned back to Jason as Jason got ready to leave,
"How bout I stay with her too" Elizabeth relaxed a bit.
"Sure Sonny, I'll be back soon Elizabeth." Elizabeth smiled weakly, she really didn't want Jason to leave, "Bye Jason" Jason himself didn't want to leave, but it was his job. Jason left and the silence began to grow. Sonny finally sat down on the couch, "you OK?" Elizabeth nodded. It got a bit more awkward.
Sonny spoke up again, "I'm sorry Ric did this to you, but I'm glad you finally saw the truth about him."
"Me too Sonny. Listen, I'm sorry about the things I said, I was so wrapped up in Ric that I believed everything he said. If I had listened to you and Sonny, and the rest of PC..I don't know, Carly might have been out sooner, hell, none of this might have happened, I would have never been pregnant, Ric might have left town.."
Sonny interrupted her, "Stop it Elizabeth, don't blame your self for what Ric did."
Elizabeth sighed, "I can't help it, I made you and Jason out to be the bad guys when the whole time I was married to the real bad guy..the guilt's just overwhelming Sonny.I was so wrong."
"You weren't wrong in being loyal to your husband, every wife should be...just your husband shouldn't have been Ric."
"I trusted him Sonny, how could I have trusted him.I was so blind."
"I think we all trusted him at some point, well, all of us except Jason"
Elizabeth nodded, "Jason knew, he has he instinct."
"Yep, he knew." It was silent a while. Elizabeth got up, "Well, I'm going to go take a shower, thanks for staying with me a while Sonny."
Sonny got up, "You gonna be OK alone?"
Elizabeth nodded, "Yeah, I will be. I'm sorry again Sonny."
"It's OK Elizabeth, just stay away from Ric."
Liz nodded going up the stairs, "I will don't worry."
Sonny opened the door, "Max is outside, I'll see you later." Liz turned around and nodded as Sonny left. She felt like a load had been taken off her chest. She smiled as she continued up the stairs.

"So why was Jason near her studio?" Courtney asked looking through some shirts in the boutique.
"I don't know Courtney, all I know is Ric beat Liz last night in her studio, Jason happened to be around, saved her, brought her back to the penthouse." Carly said.
"Well, why was he out so late? Was he doing something for Sonny?"
"I don't think so Courtney," Carly said a little preoccupied with a light blue shirt.
"Do you think he was with Elizabeth?"
Carly shook her head, "I love you Courtney, you know that, but you gotta stop with the questions."
"I'm sorry Carly, I'm just so confused on how getting something at Kelly's turned into rescuing Elizabeth."
"If your worried Ms. Muffin Face is going to steal Jason from you, don't worry sweetie. Jason is loyal and faithful to you. He loves you, not her. You have to trust him, love is nothing without trust."
Courtney nodded, "I guess you're right."
"Let's forget about her, she'll be gone before you know it. Now let's discuss something a bit more important, like your wedding."
Courtney smiled, "I'll be Mrs. Jason Morgan soon. He'll be mine"
Carly looked at Courtney a bit surprised. He wasn't a possession she thought to herself, but she didn't repute Courtney's statement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------
Jason walked into Kelly's after dealing with the men and found Emily there with Nikolas, Jason approached them, "Hey"
Nikolas looked up, "Oh, hey, I was just leaving, take it easy Em," Nikolas planted a kiss not on her forehead or cheek, but on her lips.
Jason took Nikolas's seat, "Are you OK?"
Emily looked heartbroken yet full of joy at the same time. "Me and Zander called off the wedding, its over."
Jason nodded, "Should I be sorry or glad?"
Emily smiled, "I'm not even sure yet, now I can be with Nikolas and all, but I'm always going to care for Zander." Jason nodded those words hit a bit close to home. Emily saw it in his eyes, "Um.Elizabeth told me on the phone that you saved her at Jake's again, are you guys talking again.?"
Jason nodded, "Uh, yeah, she's actually staying with me."
Emily's eyes widened, "Since when?"
"Since last night."
Emily laughed a bit, "Well, didn't take you guys that long to become friends again, I take that you guys are right?"
Jason nodded again, "Yeah, we've always been friends though, deep inside I think we both knew it."
Emily smiled, "That's good, I'm glad you two worked things out, I hated seeing my brother and best friend angry with each other." Jason let out a smile. "Mind if I ask why she's staying with you?"
"Ric attacked her last night after we went for a bike ride, I was still around and stopped him before he did anything worse to her."
"Oh God, is she alright?"
"Just a few bruises, I guess Ric thinks we're sleeping together or something."
Emily shook her head then nodded a bit, "Well, with her living with you now, he might be even more convinced."
"He doesn't know, so if you see him or he asks, don't tell him,"
Emily nodded, "I won't Jason."
"Well I have to get back, feel free to visit us anytime, Liz would probably like to see you today."
Emily smiled, not about Elizabeth, but that Jason referred to Liz and himself as us. "Bye Jason"
"I'll see ya later."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------
Elizabeth stood in the shower with her head back and eyes closed as the hot water ran down her body, she exhaled slowly. What a mess her life had become. She wanted to go back to being 13 again, before the rape, before Lucky's "death", before the Cassadines, before Ric Lansing, before Jason Morgan, before she even came to Port Charles. She wanted to be outside in Colorado again, playing in that treehouse in the backyard with Sarah and Chris. What if her parents had never sent her to Port Charles, life would be a lot less complicated. None of those bad things would have ever happened. But then she thought none of the good things either. She would have never had her first love Lucky, never had a song written for her, never meet Emily, never would have painted 'The Wind' never would have saved Jason. God, it hit her. If she hadn't come to Port Charles, Jason would be dead. She shook the thought and turned off the shower. She opened the curtains and reached for a towel, but there wasn't one there. She mumbled under her breath and stepped out of the shower to open up the bathroom closet. Still no towels. Liz began to get aggravated. She remembered seeing a towel in the living room in a laundry basket. She opened the door slightly, "Is anyone here?" It was silent. Well, no one was home except her. She could just quickly run downstairs to the living room and grab a towel. She walked out of the bathroom and walked down the hall, dripping wet. She felt bad about leaving his carpet wet, but what else was she supposed to do. She stood at the top of the stairs and spotted the basket on the coffee table. She glanced to the door and heard nothing. Taking a deep breath, she darted down the stairs and to the basket. She grabbed a large whit fluffy towel. It smelled wonderful, she stalled a second to smell the towel, and then she saw the door open.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------
Ric was down at the docks pacing, Where did she go? She wasn't at Audrey's, no sign of her at the Quartermaine mansion, and no sign at Kelly's. Ric began to realize she was at Jason's, he hoped she wouldn't be there. But it made sense and she wasn't anywhere else. Jason took her from him, again. Ric shook his head, "This is it Elizabeth, not only will you pay, but Jason as well."
Just then Emily walked by, "Who are you talking to Ric?"
Ric's angry face and eyes quickly softened as he smiled gently toward Emily, "Oh no, just kicking myself for all the stupid things I've done."
Emily nodded, "We all do them, although yours were a bit more than just stupid Ric, but I'm not going to start."
"Have you seen Elizabeth recently?"
Emily fueled with anger, what right did he have to ask that about a woman he just beat, but Emily sweetly smiled, "Last time I talked to her was last night on the phone, she was at Kelly's at about midnight."
"I see."
She wanted so bad to rub it in his face that she was with Jason and tell him that their were sparks going on, but she knew that would anger him and he might do something crazy.
Elizabeth immediately ran to the other end of the couch hiding behind it, Jason gasped and quickly turned around, "I'm.uh.I'm sorry," he stuttered.
Elizabeth wrapped the towel around herself with still crouching by the sofa, "It's Ok," she said as she stood up with the towel now around her, "You didn't see anything."
Jason turned back around, "I didn't," Jason couldn't help but smirk though. She radiated beauty even with the bruises.
"I know you didn't Jason," she said laughing. She noticed her suitcase on the desk behind him and slowly walked toward him. "I guess I'll get dressed now," she softly said, the two began feeling the sexual tension in the room.
She stood right in front of Jason and reached behind him to grab some clothes, she brushed against him and looked up into his eyes. She tried to say excuse me but their eyes just locked and she couldn't say a word. He took her breath away as he gently touched her face, he was mesmerized by her. "Jason." was all that could escape her lips. Jason's heart began to pound, hoping Elizabeth couldn't hear it. Liz's breath was still taken away as she felt her heart beat. She took the first step as she placed her lips on his. He wrapped his arms around her waist as he drew her near and she wrapped her arms around his neck. Jason kissed her back passionately as they became lost in time, the moment, each other. Jason gently lifted her up as they continued kissing and walked with her over to the couch. They both collapsed onto it, Liz's towel became very lose and felt like it was about to fall off. But she didn't care, all she cared about was Jason who was now on top of her kissing her again, this time with more romance than passion. She couldn't believe this was happening, she couldn't think about it, she could only do what her heart wanted. She slipped her hands under his shirt as he began to kiss her neck. He couldn't hold back anymore, he had wanted Elizabeth for so long that now he couldn't stop. The kisses became more and more longer and he began to take a liking to her neck. They were in heaven.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------
"I'll see you later Carly," Courtney said as she walked towards the penthouse door.
Carly walked toward her and Sonny's as she waved to Courtney, "Bye honey, and remember, don't worry about Elizabeth, she has no power over him anymore."
Courtney turned around and nodded, "I know, I'm not jealous, I'm the one with Jason right."
They both laughed. As Carly went into her penthouse. Courtney turned back around to her door. She quietly opened the door and her mouth dropped at what she saw. There they were, making out on her couch, Jason and Elizabeth. Courtney shook her head, from where she was standing, Elizabeth looked naked, even though she still had the towel on. Courtney closed the door and stayed in the hall not knowing what to do. "Slut" she whispered to herself. 'What kind of girl has to through herself naked at a man to get some' she thought. She didn't blame Jason, no man could resist a beautiful naked women, she learned that stripping. What was she going to do? Should she stop them, go to Carly? She shook her head at the possibilities. She knew that if she stopped them there would always be an awkwardness between them. Getting Carly into this would just be disastrous, she loved Carly, but Carly wasn't exactly the person to turn to in these kind of situations. Courtney was just so angry, then she got an idea. Elizabeth was going to pay for this, trying to steal Jason back. She rushed to the elevator. Liz was definitely going to pay, Courtney smirked just thinking of the revenge she was about to give.
BTW- If you are confused about anything, let me know, I will clear it up for you.
