A new face after the race
Chapter 6
Liz looked up from her work as she heard a door slam open, hitting the wall. Seconds later her sister Sara, walked through it, her heels making loud sounds as she stomped across the room. It was clear she was angry.
Elizabeth just sat back, not wanting to get herself involved. She didn't really care either. Her sister was such a drama queen. She would get upset over nothing. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Sara place her coat on the coat hanger and waited. She was bound to say something.
"Aren't you going to even ask?" Sara said, thinking she might even care.
There it is, Elizabeth thought and answered Sara with: "It's none of my business." But you'll tell me anyway, Elizabeth realized that long ago. She wouldn't care, but then Sara would just tell her either way.
"Of course it isn't!" Sara said in her snobbish poorly-sophisticated way. "But I need to talk to someone." Elizabeth almost scoffed at that. Not really, she doesn't need anyone to talk to. She just needs to get laid. "Besides maybe you could talk some sense into Lucky. I'm willing to give him what he isn't getting and he is standing by the fact that whenever that happens with Emily is fine with him! It's all about Emily. She isn't even worth it. I don't see anything at all in her!" Sara ranted.
Elizabeth let Lucky seem like a bad guy, but the fact that Sara is dissing Emily was the last thing that dismissed her anger. She stood up and stalked over to Sara, enraged she had the dignity to insult Emily. Insult Lucky, anyone else, she doesn't care, but when someone does that to Emily, that was the bottom line.
"Listen here you little slut!" Elizabeth exclaimed screw being nice; the truth was bound to come out. "Insult Lucky, go ahead, because he can handle it, but the fact that he didn't want anything from you means he's a noble guy, unlike some I know." Elizabeth justified. "But if you insult Emily or say something bad like that, even in front of her, I'm going to throw you out a two story window. I don't care if Gram is angry or I can get arrested and spend time in jail, it'll be worth it. So let me tell you. You know why Lucky doesn't like you? It's because you're a tramp. You can't be trusted! You sleep with other guys!" Elizabeth continued, noting the hurt look on her face. She didn't care though. She would gladly take Emily's friendship over one with her dimwitted sister. "You don't know anything about Emily, so you have no right to make such accusation anyway. Let me tell you I see why Lucky picks Emily. She's nice and actually cares about other people. She doesn't flaunt her figure to get guys to sleep with her. Besides she's smart. You couldn't even pass 5th grade math! Emily is getting straight A's in her college classes! You couldn't even get into college, even if you slept with every single teacher! She doesn't lie either, and let me tell you even an extra cup size that you don't have doesn't make your chest seem real or bigger." Elizabeth finished, mentioning her fake bulging chest.
(I was going to wait to have this insulation, but why not have it now? It couldn't hurt anymore than to have your own sister call you a slut/tramp. I didn't pay attention to the Sara on GH, but what I got was what you have here.)
"How dare you insult my chest? You have no idea what this extra cup cost!" Sara exclaimed and Liz lost her anger and started laughing. She just insulted her and she is standing up for her torso! (OMG! I made such a stupid character! Kill me now!)
"Your right, I don't know, but I know you should have spent more." Elizabeth commented and Sara finally had it and ran up stairs, fake chest and all.
Elizabeth sat down heavily on the couch. That was tiring as she lay down on the sofa, Elizabeth thought, forgetting about her term paper for English literature which was due Monday.
She laid there in silence until the phone rang. She picked it up. "What?" She demanded, not knowing who was on the other line.
"Did I call at a bad time?" Jason's voice asked at the other side of the line.
"Oh, Jason! No, no you didn't. Sara was just being a female dog." Liz said and relaxed on the sofa gain.
"Isn't she always?" Jason said, knowing fully well Sara always acted like that unless it was around a cute guy or family, unless the family was around was Liz.
"Yeah, just more today. She came in and started ranting how Lucky wasn't interested and then had the balls to insult Emily." Elizabeth said, wanting to forget about it for a few minutes. It made her want a cigarette, and seeing how she stopped years ago, that was bad.
"I take it you straightened her out." Jason commented and waited for an answer.
"Yeah, big time. But Sara didn't care until I insulted her chest." Liz said, rolling her eyes at her sister's stupidness. How were they related, she really didn't know. It certainly wasn't biologically.
"She really thinks they look real?" Jason asked. Her torso was as fake as it went. Any guy who didn't see that must be as stupid as Sara, herself. And that was saying a lot.
"Let her think that, she's not going to get Lucky with them." Elizabeth said, even though if she told Sara they were, she wouldn't believe her. There was an example of the thought just moments ago.
"I doubt she is going to realize that either, Sara is just going to try more and more. And the more she does that Lucky is still not going to be interested." Jason said some hidden doubt present. She caught it though.
"You're not worried that Lucky is actually going to take her offer, are you?" Elizabeth asked, curious herself for his opinion.
"I can't help it. I know Lucky loves Emily and respects that Emily isn't ready for that, but he's still a guy. He is going to have a need to do that." Jason said, fully understanding. He was a guy after all.
"Yeah, but he has good control. But let's not talk about this. Do you know if Emily and Lucky have made up yet?" Elizabeth said, needing that subject to be dropped. There was enough sexual tension between Jason and her in that regard.
"Yeah, they did last night. When I came home last night I checked on her and she and Lucky were cuddled together fast asleep." Jason said, smiling at the picture they made. It did his heart good to see them like that. Emily was happy again. Lucky, probably, too.
"Really? That's great! Did you ever figure out why they weren't talking except the forgotten dates?" Elizabeth said happy to hear something good was happening with them.
"No, not really. I was hoping you would be able to tell me. I think it was something about Monday's date though." Jason said. He heard Emily screaming in her room after Lucky had called to say he was working and that he couldn't make it. She had calmed down a minute later, and silence was heard. Though he suspected she was silently sobbing.
"Emily did say something about that date to me, and then she just kept shut about it when I asked the next day. I suspect it was something special, for the way Emily held back. It could have been their anniversary for I know!" Elizabeth said and waited for Jason to answer, when he didn't he called his name again.
"That's right. It was their anniversary! That explains things. Emily was upset when Lucky cancelled their other dates, but that day it had affected her more." Jason said, as he remembered when they first got together.
"You serious? Lucky forgot their anniversary! How could he do that! I would have kicked his butt if he did that to me!" Elizabeth exclaimed. Lucky had some real issues to do with now. It would be forever remembered and brought up.
"Is that a message for me not to forget?" Jason asked, slightly panicking. He would be screwed if he did that.
"You bet it is! I might just have a word with Lucky to make sure it doesn't happen again. No one hurts Emily like that, purposeful or not!" Elizabeth said, ranting away her threats. Elizabeth would be a good friend to have. She was loyal, protective and deadly at the same time. Volatile things when mixed.
"I feel for Lucky then. I have to go though. I'll see you later. Are we still on for tomorrow?" Jason said, leaving the conversation at the right time. When she got angry she was far from reasonable.
"Yeah, Emily babysitting Melissa?" Elizabeth said, a bit calmer. Though not for long, she had to have a word with Lucky, and then she would be far from calm.
"That I know of. Bye." Jason said as his boss called for him.
"Bye." Elizabeth said and heard the dial tone and went to look for Lucky's cell number in her address book. When she found it she dialed another number and waited for the person to pick up. After a short conversation she hung up and dialed Lucky's cell number and waited for him or someone else to pick up.
Lucky had just walked into his room after he finished the dishes as his cell rang. Lucky closed the door and picked it up, checking his caller id. It was Liz, which was strange. They could be considered friends, but weren't that close that they talked on the phone.
"Hello?" Lucky asked, thinking Sara might have stolen Elizabeth's phone. It was a direct possibility. She had a real interest in him, though she was never going to get the interest in return.
"Hey Lucky. It's Liz." Elizabeth said on the other line. Lucky breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hey Liz." Lucky said uncertain what to say. "I don't mean to sound rude, but why are you calling?"
"I was hoping to talk about Emily." Liz said, thinking it best to cut to the chase. Lucky was suspicious enough.
"Why? Is she okay?" Lucky said, sounding a bit worried.
"What? Oh, yeah she's fine. I just talked to her." Elizabeth reassured him. She had just called Emily and made sure all the information she knew was true. No reason to make a fool of herself over untrue information.
"Okay, why did you call then? We don't have much a relationship beyond Emily." Lucky pointed out. The only reason they really knew each other was Emily and Liz were friends, and he was just the boyfriend. Another factor was the thought that Liz and Jason were dating, even though Melissa wasn't too happy about that.
"Yeah, I know. I wish it wasn't like that, but what can I do about that? Still the reason I called is to talk about Emily." Elizabeth said pointedly.
"Okay, so talk." Lucky said as he sat on the bed and waited for Liz to speak. He had no idea what she was so worried about. Emily and his relationship still had a few bumps, but that was just between them. No one else knew about them.
"You had an encounter with Sara today, right?" Elizabeth asked. She knew, but who could trust Sara anymore? Certainly not her.
"Yeah, you could call it that." Lucky said, needing to forget that 'encounter'. He didn't like having a needy puppy following him anywhere.
"You are positive you have no interest in her right?" Elizabeth said, making him feel more confused by the second.
"No, Liz. You of all people should know that." Lucky justified after Elizabeth started making him seem he was under questioning for a crime.
"I know, but I don't want Emily hurt. I know it's none of my business, but Emily's my friend." Elizabeth said, reassuring him why she was asking him such questions.
"I know, and I bet Emily appreciates it. But I don't see what this has do with the questions." Lucky said feeling like his privacy was being reached.
"Jason and I have been talking about your relationship. He knows there's some pressure to get to the next level and we know Emily isn't ready for that and we also know you are waiting. But then Jason mentioned it's different toward guys than girls." Elizabeth ranted and Lucky couldn't believe what she was saying.
"Liz, not to be mean, but that is between Emily and me. I know you're her friend and Jason's her legal guardian but that is none of your business unless I or Emily make it your business." Lucky said he couldn't believe they were talking about him and Emily doing that behind their back.
"I know, but it has to do with my sister too. I mean she is offering to do the one thing Emily isn't giving and were afraid you're going to take it! Then Emily would be heartbroken." Elizabeth continued to argue.
"Let's get some things straight Liz. One, you could care less about your sister. Two, yes she is offering, but I have no interest of doing that ever. I wouldn't ever do that with Sara if she was the last woman on earth. Third, I don't want Emily heartbroken. I will not do anything to hurt her like that; especially take Sara up on her offer." Lucky justified, wanting to tell her to mind her business, but felt he needed to assure her of her doubts. He knew where she was coming from, but they were just making the situation much worse.
"You already did! Wasn't the reason why you were arguing was because you forgot your anniversary?" Elizabeth said and Lucky felt the wind get kicked out of him. He expected Emily to throw that in his face, but not Elizabeth.
"I know, and I will be forever in debt because of that, but I'm doing all I can to make up for that mistake. It's all I can do. It's not like I can turn back time." Lucky said his temper loosening. Elizabeth had just cut the line of overdoing.
"No one can, I'm just saying I'd hate for history to repeat." Liz, insisted, but she had stepped over the line minutes ago.
"I'm going to go okay? If I don't I'm going to say something I am going to regret more than forgetting my anniversary." Lucky said as he shut off his phone, stuck it in his pocket and left the house.
Author's note: Drama, don't you love it? I don't know if it was good to put the Lucky and Elizabeth conversation though. It seems out of place with the chapter. Irrelevant information, I know, it's just me as an author thinks stuff like this. But nothing that you have to deal with, so once again I appreciate the reviews and once more I will appreciate more. Hope you enjoyed the chapter.
