Disclaimer: I don't own GH, if I did a lot of things wouldn't have happened and some would have.
Rating: I am rating this R because I may get graphic in some of the violence that occurs. Since they are in the mob after all.
Author's Note: Thank you for the nice reviews LizzieBella. I am trying to infuse a bit of the tough girl Lizzie back into Elizabeth let me know what you think.
Who is Elizabeth?
Chapter 9
Two Days Later
Midnight on the Penthouse Roof
Emily sat exhausted, but unable to sleep. As she looked down toward the docks and thought about Xander's words a few days earlier she fought her tears. Did Liz feel Emily abandon her? Emily remembered her conversations with Liz about the Weber's always leaving Liz somewhere while they went all over the world. Emily knew Liz didn't really have anything to do with her family other than Audrey Hardy. So when Emily left without talking to Liz, did Liz decide Emily didn't care? That wasn't true Emily cared a lot. Liz was a sister to Emily in her heart. Emily just hadn't wanted all of her friends and Xander to feel like they had to look after her. Now it looked like Emily might have irreparably hurt two of the people she loved the most. Tears slid from Emily's eyes, she needed a chance to tell Liz that she was the best friend a girl could ask for and to ask her forgiveness for shutting her out. "Please God," Emily whispered.
The door opened and someone walked out onto the roof. "Emily, are you okay?" asked Sonny quietly.
"Yeah," Emily answered tremulously.
"We have to believe Elizabeth will be okay," Sonny said rubbing her arm.
"I know in my head that Liz can beat anything, my heart is just breaking that she is going through something like this again," Emily said trying to regain her composure.
The two of them sat together staring into the night praying that Elizabeth would be strong enough to come back strong once again.
Jason's Penthouse
Bobbie was dozing in a chair next to the bed where Elizabeth was sleeping. Bobbie heard someone clear their throat. As Bobbie opened her eyes she heard Elizabeth say, "Why am I here?" At first Bobbie thought Elizabeth was talking in her sleep, but then she noticed Elizabeth was sitting up in bed.
"Elizabeth, do you know where you are?" Bobbie asked standing up beside the bed.
"Jason's. But why am I here?" Elizabeth asked confusion lacing her voice.
"Do you remember anything about the last few days?" Bobbie asked gently while sitting down on the bed next to Elizabeth.
Elizabeth flinched as she looked down at her lap. "I remember trying to get away from some men that had been following me. I was almost to a safe place when I realized that one of them had caught up with me. He ran me off the road. When I came to I was in some shack and they had taken my clothes. I tried to run anyway, but one of them caught me. He said he'd teach me a lesson and that's how I got the marks on my back. I think I passed out some time after he finished because I don't really remember much," Elizabeth answered Bobbie in a business like tone.
Bobbie couldn't get Elizabeth to meet her eyes, so she knew Elizabeth was holding something back. For now, Bobbie decided to play it Elizabeth's way. "What do you need right now Elizabeth?" Bobbie asked squeezing her hand gently.
"A pain pill would be nice, but I really don't want to go back to sleep," Elizabeth said trying to move into a more comfortable position. Bobbie got up to get Elizabeth water and a pain pill. "Do you know if Lucky, Nikolas, and Xander know where I am?" Elizabeth asked groaning as she moved her legs over the side of the bed.
"They all know you are here. Xander's been switching off with Johnny on guard duty," Bobbie said as she walked back in from the bathroom. "Hey, where do you think you are going?" Bobbie asked seeing Elizabeth trying to stand.
"Bobbie, I just need to use the bathroom. But I would like to ask you a favor, I am craving a smoke, can you ask Xander if he will get me a pack," Elizabeth said before taking the pain pill.
"Well, I guess, but when did you start smoking?" Bobbie asked with concern.
"Bad habits are hard to break when you feel like the world's abandon you," Elizabeth said going into the bathroom.
It was at this comment that Emily walked into the bedroom. She looked shocked as she heard Liz's voice, but her eyes closed in pain when she heard what Liz said. As she looked at Bobbie, Bobbie shrugged.
"I'll be back in a minute," Bobbie said through the door to Elizabeth.
As Bobbie walked down the stairs she thought how different Elizabeth seemed. She was sure that Elizabeth was hiding something from her, but she couldn't figure out what.
Bobbie opened the door to see Xander standing at his post, "Xander."
"Mrs. Jones, what can I do for you," Xander asked.
"First I want you to know that Elizabeth is awake and talking. I think she is doing well." At Xander's smile of relief Bobbie continued, "And she asked me to find out if you would get her a pack of cigarettes," Bobbie said worry coloring her tone.
Xander reached into his pocket, "I hoped Liz would have quite once she left here. Here's a pack she left at my place before she took off. Tell her I am here whenever and whatever she needs."
Bobbie took the cigarettes from him and said, "I will and Xander she knows. She asked about you guys right away. She wanted to make sure that you three knew she was okay. Give her a bit of time to adjust and I bet she comes and finds you."
"Thanks Mrs. Jones, you keep taking care of her," Xander said holding the door open for her.
"Night, Xander," Bobbie said before he closed the door.
As Bobbie walked back into the bedroom she saw Emily pacing around the room. "Liz is still in the bathroom but I didn't know if I should do anything," Emily whispered frantically.
"Elizabeth, do you need some help?" Bobbie asked through the door.
"No, I am about done. Did Xander say he'd get me some smokes?" Elizabeth said as she opened the door.
"I have them here," Bobbie answered as she watched Elizabeth walk out of the bathroom shakily.
"Emily, what are you doing here?" Elizabeth asked shocked.
"Bobbie called and told me you were missing and I hopped the next flight here," Emily said quietly watching her friend's reaction.
"Wow, well thanks I guess, but you didn't have to come out here to see me. I mean I am sure you had more important things to do," Elizabeth said looking for a pair of pants to put on.
"What are you looking for?" Bobbie asked stopping Elizabeth's frantic searching.
"I need something to wear so I can go downstairs. I need a smoke, okay!" Elizabeth answered a bit harshly.
"Elizabeth, just give me a minute and I will get some sweats for you out of my room," Emily answered hurrying from the room.
"Elizabeth, I need you to calm down a bit. I am not sure you can go down the stairs." At Elizabeth's panicked and trapped look Bobbie reconsidered, "Of course with Emily's and my help I think you can make it. We will go out on the balcony, but not too long."
"Thanks Bobbie," Elizabeth said slowly sinking to the bed. She was starting to feel trapped and needed to find a way to stop all the memories from flooding her brain.
Emily came into the room and handed her a pair of sweats and a sweatshirt. "I thought you might like to stay warm," Emily said nervously.
"Thanks, Emily," Elizabeth answered gingerly pulling the sweatshirt over her head.
As soon as Elizabeth was ready the three girls headed downstairs for the balcony. It turned out to not be too difficult with Bobbie walking in front of her and Emily walking beside her. As Elizabeth stepped out onto the balcony she remembered why she left this town. There stood Jason staring out over the buildings.
