As soon as Emily was out of Jason's sight she started running and the tear's began to pour down her face. She had no idea how she'd been able to hold them in while she was talking to Jason, or even talk over the lump in her throat. For some reason she didn't want to be around anyone at that moment, not even Jason.
She didn't know where she was going, or why she was running to get there. All she knew was the feel of her tears and the reason of why they were there in the first place.
God, why did life have to be so unfair? Ya know I always try to be positive and keep everyone thinking about the good side of things instead of dwelling on the bad but seriously how much was a girl supposed to take? I mean having your husband taken to jail days after your married just because he pushed an old bat off a cliff who had been trying to kill his wife for months, that's what we're calling justice now? It sure seems to me like justice is buried out there in Helena's empty grave.
Emily's lungs finally gave out after 15 minutes of a flat out run in two inch high boots she quite naturally couldn't run any further and she just didn't want to think anymore. The problem was she didn't know how stop because, unfortunately, her brain wouldn't just give out the way her body did, she'd always had that problem, the only solution she had ever found for it was drugs, and though she was tempted to just say the hell with it all and go get as high as she could and never come down, the truth was she would come down, and her heart would still be broken and she'd have a drug problem on top of it, so scratch that idea.
All of a sudden she realized where her legs had carried her. Jake's. Of course, the place to go whenever your looking for something to take your mind off of whatever you don't want to think about, it was the one place in Port Charles where she really didn't have a memory of Nicholas and the least likely place where she would run into anyone she knew .
Well girl this is where you ended up let's go see what kind of trouble you can get yourself into. Did I just think that? Um yep sure did. Alright, I guess I'm going with self destructive on this one.
Emily stood up straight, threw her shoulders back and walked into Jake's.
Of course the scum of the earth pretty much hangs out here and when a girl like Emily walks in everyone notices which is exactly what she was hoping for. She headed over to the bar and had to stop herself from just ordering a row of shots and seeing how fast it would take her to get drunk but then she thought, what was the difference between a drug problem and a drinking problem? Yeah better stick with a rum and coke. She stood at the end waiting for the bartender to get thru opening a beer for another customer and looked around the room, noticing that there seemed to be quite a few rough looking guys there tonight, her assessing gaze passed over each one of them until it finally landed on who she was looking for.
"Well, if it isn't Emily Quartermaine, what's such a wholesome little lady such as yourself doing here in my humble little establishment?"
Emily turned back to the bar to see Coleman standing behind it, at least she thinks that's what his name is, to be honest she couldn't really recall ever having to talked to the man before not that she hadn't heard of him of course, she knew what kind of man he was and his antagonizing tone brought out her fiery side, which probably would have been harder to do had it not been on this particular night.
"Coleman, right?" At his nod she continued, "Well sir I think maybe it's time that you and your 'humble little establishment' as you so rightly put it got introduced to a force of nature."
"Oh? And is that force of nature supposed to be you little rich girl? Cause, from what I've seen you've been kept in a gilded cage and guarded from places and people like this. God forbid little Princess Emily Quartermaine should be soiled by hands that actually work for a living. So what kind of trouble is it that you think your gonna be stirring up around here my sweet hurricane?"
"Let's just get something straight , you may know my name and you may know my family, but you have no idea who I am or the kind of trouble that I could stir up if I chose to, and just to let you in on a little secret, I happen to be in a reckless to hell with tomorrow kind of mood, so you may just want to get me a rum and coke on ice and leave me the hell alone, before I poke one of your eyes out with my magic princess wand. OK?"
There was something about the way Emily said this, with a slight note of desperation hidden underneath all that bravado, that gave Coleman pause. He didn't take threats seriously from many people, especially not from some prissy woman with an attitude problem, but desperate people tend to do desperate things, and the last thing he needed was for Jason Morgan's little sister to come looking for trouble in his bar. Humphrey Bogart's voice ran through his head at that moment, "Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world she had to walk into mine!!" Oh yes, Coleman thought as he turned to get her drink, he was definitely gonna have to watch this one, for the Lord knew that if something happened to her here then he would be a dead man by morning. Messing with Sonny Corinthos's sister was one thing, he had come away from that alive if not unscathed, but there was no doubt in his mind that if he had done to Emily what he'd done to Courtney that he would be in a wooden box six feet under, that is IF they'd found his body.
"Here you go Miss Quartermaine I hope you enjoy your drink and than go back home to your nice safe house and sleep in your nice warm bed tonight, ya know all snug as a bug in a rug."
Emily smiled at him as she realized why he wanted her gone so badly. The truth was if Jason knew that she was here and why, she'd be the one with something to worry about, not Coleman. But fortunately, Jason didn't know, nobody knew, and she didn't think Coleman wanted her brother here anymore than she did, so she felt pretty confidant that she was free to do whatever she wanted. The way she felt right now she needed a victory of some sort and she knew just how she wanted to get it.
"I'm sorry but my magic wand is really only good for poking, and I happen to be pretty stubborn once I've decided that I want to do something. So you'll just have to put up with me for tonight," she picked up her drink and turned to leave but not before spinning back around to add " Oh and by the way, Coleman, My name is Princess Emily Cassadine."
Ok well it's headed toward the good stuff. I have a lot planned for the future so come back if you like it and like I said let me know of any ways to improve the story or my writing I'm up for suggestions. Just nothing mean!!!
Previews for the next chapter: We will see the romance blossom between Jason and Sam without a miracle baby because as much as I know that they both will make wonderful parents and I love seeing Jason with a baby in his arms just as much as Sam does, it just feels like it was an easy way for the writers to avoid having them come together just as a man and woman but instead they have them as parents with a baby that they could lose at any given moment, I think they deserve to have a real relationship and eventually a baby of their own. Also of course Emily's recklessness comes to fruition (I'm using my word for the day in a sentence aren't you proud of me?) We will see what kind of victory she has in mind!!
