"Jason what do you want? I really don't have the time or the energy for round three." Liz says to him as he walks in. "Thanks for letting me come over." Jason tells her. "Where's Courtney?" asks Elizabeth. "At home sleeping." "Okay well let's try to get this over with before she wakes up without you." Elizabeth says shortly. "Look, I just wanted to tell you, that I'm sorry." Jason admits. "Sorry for what?" Liz taunts him. Jason struggles with this, "For saying…for trying to umm…" Liz flops down on her couch, "God Jason you don't even know what you're sorry about! I'm not even the one you should be apologizing to!" "What are you talking about?" Jason yells. "Kylie!" "Liz don't start on Kylie!" Jason warns her. "I heard what you said to her at the hospital Jason! Now, you're going to stand there and tell me you don't owe her an apology?" Elizabeth screams at him. "I shouldn't have said that," Jason begins, "But she was taking Morgan!" "So what?" Liz cries. "Courtney wanted to take care of him!" Elizabeth stands up infuriated, "Why? So she can jump into freezing water with him too?" Jason is speechless and Liz takes a second to recap what she just said. "Jason, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that." "N-no it's okay." he tells her. "That hurt didn't it?" Elizabeth asks. "Yeah a little." Jason replies. "Now think how Kylie felt." Liz tells him. Jason sits down, "Elizabeth I just don't know what's happened to her." "Look Jase, I can't tell you anything because it's not my place to--" "So you know…" Jason begins. "Yes. I know, Emily knows, most everyone but you, Carly, and Sonny know." Elizabeth explains. "So Lorenzo Alcazar knows more about my own daughter than I do." Liz sits down and looks at him, "Well, yes. But Jason as hard as this is for you to hear, she's not your daughter. If she ever thought of you as a father before, she doesn't now. Instead you're…well I don't know what you are exactly." Jason looks back at her, "I'm the enemy." "Jason--" "No," Jason continues, "I always taught her the difference between, the people that are loyal to her and the enemy. I sure as hell wasn't loyal to her, now I'm the enemy." He rests his elbows on his knees and his face in his hands. Elizabeth reaches out and rubs his back, "Hey I can't tell you what happened but maybe I can help you figure it out." Jason looks at her and she's smiling at him. 'It's been so long since she's smiled at me' he thinks to himself, 'I miss it.' Almost on instinct Jason leans over and hugs her. She falls easily into his arms. 'I miss this.' she thinks.
The love and your belief
Never found inside of me
Built these walls up so high
Needed my room to breathe
Oh baby, oh baby
You tear them down
Can't believe you changed my mind.
Oh baby, oh baby
I saw you smile
Stay with me a while
After a minute Elizabeth pulls away, "Okay." "Okay." Jason repeats, "How do we start this?" "Well first you're going to wash up because you look like hell and I'm going to order some food. I don't know, what do you feel like?" "Anything," Jason begins, "As long as…" "It isn't soup." Liz joins him. "Yeah." Jason laughs. "Chinese?" Elizabeth suggests. "Sounds good." "Great!" says Liz, "now you go and take a shower, whatever, you know where everything is, just go." "Okay." Jason heads into the bathroom and Liz picks up the phone.
**************20 Minutes Later***************
"Okay so how do we start this?" Jason asks picking at his food. "Well, let's start with what has changed about her." Liz offers lifting some noodles into her mouth. "Well, she carries a gun," Jason begins, "She's moody." "Kylie has always been moody, now she's just angry." Liz interrupts. "Right." Jason agrees, "What else?" Liz sits on the edge of the couch, "She only wears black, dark gray, and red. Nothing else." "What's so strange about red?" Jason asks. "Jase there are all different shades of red, now Ky, she wears blood red." Elizabeth explains. "Got it." Jason sighs, "She's close to everyone she should be close to." "Except she doesn't like you." Liz reminds him. "Thanks Liz." "Sorry." Elizabeth laughs. "What?" Jason asks. Liz keeps laughing. "What? What is it?" Jason continues. "I'm sorry!" Liz says still laughing, "It's just that for the last couple of minutes you've had a small piece of an egg roll right there." She reaches down and brushes it off the corner of his mouth. "Wha-What? And you didn't tell me?" he cries. "No! I was waiting for you to notice!" she tells him, "I'm sorry!!!" "Oh I'll show you sorry!" Jason laughs. He grabs a pillow throws it at Liz. She screams as it knocks her off the couch. "Oh my God Elizabeth I'm sorry!" he continues laughing, "Here let me help you up." Jason reaches his hand out to her. "No let me help you!" Liz says as she grabs his hand and pulls him down next to her.
I've never fell before
How did you find the door
The key to my soul
To you forever more
Oh baby, oh baby
You make me rise
And never did I once think twice
Oh baby, oh baby
You make me smile
Stay with me a while
"God Jason, what happened to us?" Liz asks, still laying next to him. "I don't know." Jason tells her, "I think we both had some trust issues." "Well that doesn't make any sense." she says to him. "Why not?" Jason asks. "Because you're one of the people I trust most." she admits. "I feel the same way." "But," Liz says propping her head up in her hand, "Maybe it wasn't meant to be, maybe we're just supposed to be friends. I mean I was married, you're happy with Courtney…what?" Elizabeth asks to Jason shaking his head. He sighs and tells Liz what she's known all along, "I'm not happy with Courtney." "What do you mean Jase?" Liz asks trying to brush her hair out of her face." "Here." Jason laughs, tucking the strands behind her ear, "Anyway I don't know, maybe I was never in love with Courtney, or maybe somewhere along the way I just stopped. Whatever it is I don't love her, and I sure as hell am not happy with Courtney. I mean I've been meaning to break it off with her for a long time now, I'm not sure what happened." "You were afraid of what Sonny might think?" Elizabeth jokes. "No, but that's another thing," Jason explains, "Courtney thinks I'm not afraid of anything. She wanted me to support her when Emily was in that coma because she was scared. Then she said that with Emily dying we should have a baby!" "Oh my God!" Liz cries disgusted. "I know!" Jason agrees, "I was waiting for her to say, 'If it's a girl we can name her Emily!' That was probably when I realized I didn't want to be with her anymore." "Jason you have to tell her. You're not happy, and you don't deserve to feel that way." Elizabeth tells him. "I know, I know." Jason sighs, "Elizabeth?" "Yeah?" she asks concerned. "I miss you." he tells her. "Well I miss you too Jason, I've told you that." she replies. Jason props his head on his hand so he is eye level with Elizabeth, "No I mean I miss us. I miss coming here and just watching you paint. I miss planning all the trips we were going to take. I miss talking to you about everything, not just, 'Does this outfit look okay?' or 'I want to go shopping.' I miss us, Elizabeth." Both stay quiet for a minute. "Jason I miss us too, but I don't want to get hurt again." Liz tells him. "Listen Liz, you trust me now, you already told me that. I swear to you, no one will get hurt." "But Jason I trusted Ric and look what happened." "Hey." Jason says, "I am not Ric." "I know, I'm sorry, and I do trust you." Elizabeth assures him. "Then believe me when I say that if you trust me you will not get hurt. No one will." Liz sighs, "But Jason it just seems like so much has gone wrong with us already." "So what, is this about fate?" Jason asks. "Yeah I guess." Elizabeth answers. "Well then let's go with the most fate related thing we have." Jason suggests. "Like what?" Liz asks. Jason reaches into the bag their food came in, "We haven't opened these yet." "Oh my God!" Elizabeth laughs, "You're leaving us up to a fortune cookie?" "Two fortune cookies," Jason corrects her, "And only if you agree." Liz sighs, "Okay it's crazy, but let's do this." Jason leans over and kisses her. "Jason--" Elizabeth begins. "If this doesn't work I'll leave you alone, we'll just be friends. I just wanted one last reminder of what it's like to kiss you." Jason tells her. Elizabeth kisses him back, "Ready?" "Ready." he answers, handing her a cookie. They both toss the cookies aside, and read the fortunes. Elizabeth drops her head to the floor, and starts laughing. "What?" Jason asks, "What does it say?" "How about you read mine and I read yours." Elizabeth suggests. "Fine." Jason replies. He takes the piece of paper out of her hand, "Expect the unexpected." he reads smiling. Elizabeth grabs the other slip of paper. "Read it." Jason insists. Elizabeth takes on a more serious expression, and opens the fortune, "Oh my God." she says beginning to cry, "Old habits die hard." "Is that good enough for you?" Jason asks. Elizabeth nods, "You?" Jason smiles, pulls her close to him, and he kisses her.
All things fall into place
Me heart it feels so safe
You are my melody
That's where you take me
With you I get so high
Lost in the crystal sky
You are this melody
That's where you take me
