Jason's Penthouse
Jason stared out the Penthouse window, just as he did every morning. It was worse today because it was raining. He had finally gotten over Courtney. She had move on with Jax and for the first time in a long time Jason had felt happy and free again. But now he was thinking of something and someone that he had wanted long ago. They very thought of her brought a smile to his face. Yet it also hurt him to think of her because well he couldn't have her. She was married and pregnant. Pregnant with her husband's child.
Kelly's
She waited on the customers with a smile. Elizabeth was still working even thought she didn't need to. She was finally happy again with Ric. She was having Zander's baby. And now Ric was going to get to be the father. He was a lucky man; she was just naïve when it came to him. Plus she happened to be in love with him. Jason walked into Kelly's, He saw her. Elizabeth looks more beautiful than ever he thought to him self. He shook his head and walked towards her.
"Hey," Jason said. Elizabeth looked up and there he was, Jason. "Hey Jase!" "How are you" said Jason with a smile. "I'm good. How are things with you?" she said as his blue eyes looked at hers. "Things are going good too" he said with a little smirk. "Well that's great! So any new girls?" she said as she joked flirtatiously. Then he looked at her with such a serious look on his face. "No, I think it's better if I stay single for a while." Then he sighed. She looked a little bit puzzled. "Is everything okay?" she still had a genuine concern for her friend.
Jason thought about telling her that she's all he thinks about. That there were girls who wanted him but he just wanted no part in dating them. All he really cared about was her. He wanted her to leave Ric to be with him. "I'm not too sure," he admitted to her honestly. "I'm sure I'll be fine though." "Do you want to talk about it?" she said. "No it's okay really," he knew she wasn't going to drop this. He knew shouldn't of said anything at all. "I know we've drifted but Jase, you know you can tell me anything right? And that I'm always here you." Jason's cheeks suddenly turn bright red. "Common let's go," she said. "What about your shift?" Jason asked. "Well Penney's here and besides it's over in a half hour any way, when Courtney comes in," said Elizabeth. Jason hesitated to say anything then, "Okay, where are we going?" "You'll see," Elizabeth said with a smile. Elizabeth grabbed her coat and keys and told Penney she was leaving. They hopped into Elizabeth's new SUV. They blasted music the entire way to Elizabeth's studio.
Jason looked around; he remembered this place so well, "what are we doing here?" She began to go through the closet, "I told you'll see." There is was. The painting "the wind," she had painted it for him so long ago. They both looked at it for a while. A million memories flooded his mind of the two of them. "Do you remember when I painted this for you?" "Of course I remember." Liz looked at him then she decided to try and make him feel better. "Well for me this painting is something that helps me, when I need it to. If I'm upset or sad I take this out and it instantly makes me feel better. See Jase, when all of this stuff just happened with Zander, I came here to look at the painting and it really helped me." Jason looked a little bit puzzled. "What happened with Zander?" he asked.
"Well I guess now is a good of a time as any to tell you that the baby I'm carrying is Zander's." His moth dropped. His mind raced in confusion. He didn't know what to do or what to say. He had known that she slept with Zander before she dated him but he never thought it was more than a one time thing. Before he could say anything her cell phone rang.
"One sec. Hello. Hey honey! No I'm not on my way home. I'm at my studio. No I'm not painting. Listen why don't you call me when you get out of work. Okay bye. Love you too." she looks at him to see if his reaction had changed at all. "Sorry about that." "It's okay. Ummm.... I didn't realize you were with Zander. Are you divorcing Ric again?" "Not well you see I slept with Zander because I was hurting. Remember the first time and how it was a mistake? Well it happened because I was hurt and scared of my feelings for Ric and because all of the things he had done to me. It was more of a payback type of thing. For Zander it was to Emily. I just wanted to be able to walk away from Ric. I wanted to do something that I thought he wouldn't be able to forgive. But I realized that I love him and I forgave him for everything. So that's my story Jase. Now what's yours?"
"I'm not really ready to talk about it yet." He said. He knew she wouldn't push the issue. "Well did the painting help at all?" she said giving him a smile. "It certainly took my mind off of things that's for sure. Elizabeth can I tell you something?" "Of course, Jason you can tell me anything." "I miss this." He said and looked down. "Miss what?" he didn't have a clue what he was talking about. "I miss us. Our friendship I mean. I miss being able to confide in someone, being able to talk about anything with someone. I learned something today though, two things actually. One I'll always be able to trust you. And two you'll always be my best friend, no matter what happens." She walked right over to him and hugged him tightly. He took in the smell of her hair. He needed her back in his life. She is what I need. He thought to himself. "Hey Jase" she said breaking away from him. "I miss this too."
