Jason entered Sonny's penthouse with his mind elsewhere. With everything in
the past aside, he was glad he ran into Elizabeth. It felt good to get
those things off his chest, even though as he entered Courtney was right in
front of him.
"Where's Sonny?" Jason said as he looked around.
"He's not here." Courtney replied. She looked nervous, staring at the floor. "I called you."
"Well are you ok? Are you hurt?" Jason tried to get eye contact, but it was like she was resisting.
"Jason I saw you." She finally looked up.
Jason shook his head. "Saw me where?"
"I saw you with Elizabeth." Courtney stood straight and tall, like she was defending something. This was a trait Jason used to love, when Courtney stood up for what she thought was right, ready to battle anything that got in her way. But this was too much.
"You're kidding right?"
"No Jason, I'm not kidding. I saw you in the park. Her head on your shoulder, your arm around her. Look Jason, if you're falling out of love with me you need to-"
"Stop. Just stop. Nothing was going on Courtney, we're friends. We were talking. That's what friends do." Jason noticed Courtney's hand shaking by her side. "Have you been taking those painkillers again?"
Courtney eyes darted everywhere. "You know what? That's not the point. That's not the point at all! I'm not the one who's falling at of love. I'm not the one running to the shoulder of my ex. How would you feel if I ran to AJ whenever I had a problem with you!" Tears started to form. "If you have something to say to me, you say it to my face. Not go running to that manipulative little-"
Jason went to Courtney and took her by the hands. He couldn't have another fight. Not now. "Courtney I love you. Before I was there for Elizabeth. She's the one having problems, and I was there to listen. You are the one I love Courtney, and you need to trust and believe me."
Courtney went into his arms as Jason put his head on her shoulder. Her stared at the wall and couldn't bring himself to close his eyes. He didn't even know if he meant those words anymore. But he knew she was high on drugs and having a fight would be pointless because even she didn't know what she was saying.
*** Ric stood up from the table at Kelly's. Scott had already left, leaving him with the bill of course. He took some bills out of his wallet and let it drop on the table, leaving the waitress a very nice tip. Grabbing his coat he walked to the door and stepped out. Without warning though, he ran right into something, spilling their soda all over his nice suit.
"Watch where you're going!" Ric looked up to see Lucky Spencer, smirking from ear to ear. "And wipe that smile off your face."
"Ric you're walking a fine line with me, I wouldn't push it." Lucky sipped through his straw, making a slurping sound since there wasn't much left.
Ric looked Lucky up and down. What a contrast these two were. Lucky was in a cheep long sleeved rugby shirt and run down jeans, with scuffed up brown boots. And Ric was in an expensive black Armani business suit with black polished shoes.
"You know I never liked you Spencer. From the day I saw you."
"Well you never really got on my good side," Lucky took another slurp. "Especially when you lied and manipulated Elizabeth."
"Oh what do you know. You know nothing about me and Elizabeth, so you can just keep your mouth shut." Ric started to walk away. Lucky casually followed, still sipping from his coke.
***
After awhile Elizabeth finally got up off the bench. After Jason left she had just sat there lost in thought. Feeling the autumn chill she decided it was time to go home. After a warm cup of coffee at Kelly's first.
Elizabeth tried to wrap herself tighter in her coat as she travel toward the peer. As she rounded the corner she stopped suddenly, seeing Ric and Lucky down below her on the dock.
Lucky took his mouth off the straw. "I know you lied to her. I know you drugged her with birth control pills, causing her to overdose. I know you locked a pregnant woman up in her home, in an attempt to steal her a baby. I know you brought Faith to try and kill her. I know you-"
Ric suddenly turned. "You know nothing!"
And with that Ric threw his fist at Lucky, hitting him square in the gut in surprise. And he kept going, both of them being on the edge of the doc. Lucky got a few punches in but Ric fought dirt, kicking him and stepping on his feet. Lucky fell to his knees in front of Ric, who smirked. He then brought Lucky's head down on his knee hard. Staggering, Lucky looked up to see Elizabeth. Their eyes locked. He then closed his eyes and fell into the water.
"Noo!!" Elizabeth ran down the steps. Ric grabbed her as she reached the water. "Let me go you bastard!" She kicked and screamed, staring at the water, searching for Lucky. "Look what you did!! Let me go!!"
Ric dragged her to his car, which wasn't far off, and shoved her inside. Her head hit the car door on the other side, and she was knocked out.
